The Devil behind me Chapter 25
We sat down in a private room in the restaurant to eat. Looking at all the arranged food which just the two of us won't be able to finish. The room was silent, only the gentle clattering of our spoons and plates could be heard. I sneaked a peak at him and was awed at how elegant he ate. I'm not crazy, but I just found everything about him so perfect with no flaws at all. My eyes traveled to his eyes, to his chiseled jaws, his neatly arranged even sprinkling of grey and dark hair. One of the features I admired the most was his eyes. A lot of time would have been spent sculpting this creature, I uttered to myself inwardly. My gaze traveled down to his lips, I could feel my throat dry up recalling what happened in the car. He suddenly rose his head up and our eyes met, I nearly choked on my food as he caught me sneaking peeks at him, I cleared my throat and looked away. He stopped moving and stared at me, I wasn't looking at him but I could feel his gaze for a moment before he resume

Mirabel's POV Feeling the soft comfy surface on which I lay, my eyes shot open. I looked around my surroundings and realized I was in my bedroom, my racing heart finally calmed down, but how did I get here? Thoughts of what happened earlier started flooding in. "Geez..." I screamed out loud in frustration as I remembered what happened in the car. My hands glid to feel my lips "You took the initiative, Mirabel, how in the world could you be so bold?" I said to myself"What initiative?" I jolted when I suddenly heard a voice say out of nowhere. I swerved my head to the door and I saw Arabella standing there, gauging me with her eyes, her two hands resting on either side of her waist, like a mother questioning her child. "Huh? Nothing," I said stammering.Arabella didn't say anything as she slowly walked up to me, if she comes any closer she would surely see how flustered I looked. "I need to wash my face," I said as I stood up from the bed and scrambled my way to the bathroom, I e
