VII

Time froze as the door swept open to reveal the person within the apartment. And let me just say, I think I just died, went to heaven and met an Angel.

I am literally staring at the most handsome man that I have ever seen in my life. He is...is. He looks like a ... a..a

Iyoh bruh, like there are no words to describe this man's beauty!

I’mma try to do the impossible and explain how this man looks. Okay, let's start from the top of his head. He has short, blonde hair that is closely cropped to his scalp. I bet if I looked at his head from a certain angle I could easily imagine how he would look if he was completely bald, and let me tell you that he would still look flippin delicious. Now that’s when you know someone is beautiful, when they are completely bald and they can still wet your underwear. He has big beautiful eyebrows that perfectly frame his face. They are thick and lush and are naturally shaped in a low arch. Below his eyebrows, and decorating his eyes are long and luscious eyelashes that a camel would die for. Now for his gorgeous eyes, them orbs are the colour of a fresh forest. His deep green eyes look as if they have seen it all. He has a perfect nose, not too big and not too small, just perfect. And don't get me started on his lips they are the right size and are naturally pink and look very soft and plump, I wish I could just kiss them right now.

Across his face is a light beard, what ladies would call a five o’clock aftershave and all his features are put together on a splendidly angular face. This man is just so beautiful, he is literally every woman’s dream, and well he is my dream.

"Are you drooling?" The man inside the apartment asks, even his deep and rich voice can soak your underwear alone. At his question, my hand quickly travels to my face to inspect whether or not I am truly salivating at the sight of this gorgeous creature, I am shocked to actually feel moisture running down from the side of my mouth and onto my chin.

Hastily, I wipe the saliva off of my face with the back of my sleeve. I cannot believe that that actually happened. I have seen many handsome men before in my life, I mean I survived a two hour movie of a shirtless Michael B Jordan when I was watching Creed, but I didn’t drool, but I go and slaver at five seconds of staring at this man.

"N..no" I shakily breath out. "I'm not drooling." I lie straight through my teeth.

"But I saw the saliva on your chin just now." The man says with a look of amusement plastered on his face. He is clearly enjoying watching me squirm under his piercing gaze.

"It wasn't saliva!" I nearly shout, getting all defensive. I will never give a man the satisfaction of knowing they got to me, and even though I know for a fact that everyone saw me literally drool over this guy, I will deny it till the day I die.

"Then what was it?" he asks me, with his right eyebrow raised at me cockily.

"It's none of your business, that's what it is!" I yell. Not waiting for him to reply, I shove the heavenly-sent man out of the way and step into the apartment.

Behind me, I can hear the chuckles of Jay and Alex as they too walk into the apartment. Inside the apartment I gaze at the trash littering the whole living room. There are pizza boxes everywhere and fast food bags. There are like thousands of beer bottles everywhere, on the floor, on the couches, on the coffee table. There are also cigarette buds lying around.

As if the place ain't nasty enough as it already is, there is also this dodgy smell hanging in the atmosphere. Unable to keep it in and also because I don't have a filter, I voice my opinion to the man.

"Damn! Why the fuck does it smell like the devil took a shit in here?" I ask, my face scrunched up in disgust.

Jay coughs out a laugh, but quickly holds it in when Mr Sexiest Man Alive shoots him a death glare. Turning his icy glare away from Jay, he focuses it on me.

"It does not smell like shit in here!" Mr Sexiest Man Alive grits at me.

"Hold your horses chyna, we are all entitled to our own opinions. You say it doesn't smell like shit, I say it smells like the devil's personal shithole." I say matter of factly, "And I'm sure Alex and Jay over here, agree with me."

"She is kinda right." Alex voices out in a small voice, "It does smell like something died in here."

“Not even bruh, it smells like someone’s open asshole up in here.” I say adding some more of my two cents in.

Mr Sexiest Man Alive turns to look at Alexwith shock written all over his face, when Alex doesn't change his opinion he turns his eyes toward Jay looking for him to back him up. When Jay shrugs his shoulders and looks at his feet, Mr Sexiest Man Alive flips them both off before looking at me again.

"Who the fuck are you?" He questions me.

“Who the fuck am I? Who the fuck are you?” I ask, mocking fake anger. I stand with my hands crossed over my chest. I watch as a curtain of anger closes over the man’s face as he threateningly walks up to me. He is now standing in front of me, with a look of pure manliness. He is so close to me that I notice a beauty spot under his left eye. The beauty spot makes his rather masculine face look gentle.

“I won’t ask again” he starts of in a darker tone than before, so sexy! “Who are you?”

Feeling petty, I uncross my arms and puff my chest out. Putting on my best Kevin Hart face, I look him dead in the eye and throw his question back in his face. When it looks as if things are about to escalate, Alex comes to my rescue and shoves himself in the small space between me and Mr Sexiest Man Alive. Pushing me away from the brooding man, I feel a little bit relieved. So the sexy man does not have a sense of humour, what a shame. He literally looked like he was ready to squash me under his sneakers like you would do to a dirty bug.

"Demon, this is ..." Alex starts off but trails off when he realises that he still doesn't know my name. Taking my cue, I step forward once more and hold out my hand for the man to shake.

"The names Jackson," I say, trying my best to sound like James Bond, "Amandla Jackson."

The man looks at me incredulously in the face, then drops his gaze to my outstretched hand and his eyes drift back to my face. I make sure to have the biggest and broadest smile plastered on my lips. He doesn't even make an attempt to shake my hand.

Taking matters into my own hands, I reach out and grab his right hand and clutch it between both my hands. I shave his hand vigorously while muttering out, "It is so nice to meet you, and you must be this Demon that I've never heard of before."

Demon snatches his hand out of mines so fast as if he had been scorched by fire. He turns away and completely ignores me as if I don't exit, as he talks to Alex and Jay.

"Okay...why the fuck is she here?" He asks slowly.

"Papa Pedro said that we should bring her here." Jay chimes in.

"Did he say why?" Demon asks, looking exceptionally irate.

"Nope." Jay answers, popping the 'p'. An awkward silence looms over the apartment as we all watch Demon brood quietly.

"Okay!" Jay breaks the silence, clapping his hands together, "Well we've done our job so I guess we'll be on our way." At his statement Jay grabs Alex and heads out the open door.

"Wait!" I scream, causing both the men to halt in their steps, "You can't just leave me here with this guy!"

Jay turns around and looks me straight in the eye as he speaks, "I could say that I am sorry to leave you behind here, but ... I'm not!" At that the asshole turns around and slams the door behind him at his departure.

Now it is just me and this gorgeous man alone in this disgusting apartment. Honestly, it is a little off putting that he lives in such a pigsty. Call me a little shallow but this man is way to beautiful to be living in such a mess, like I see him in some fancy hotel room or apartment, and not in some nasty run down apartment that smell like ass.

"Sooooo" I say, drawing out the word. I walk around the small living room, absent mindedly kicking a crushed beer can. As I said…nasty "I guess it's just you and me, hey?"

"Fuck this." Demon mutters under his breath as he walks to the coffee table and snatches the sleek iPhone that I hadn't noticed before. After violently tapping on the phones' screen multiple times, he lifts the phone to his ear, waiting for the other person on the line to pick up.

While his doing this, like the creepy person I am, I admire the way his muscles are flexing on his arms under the long white sleeve shirt. He definitely lifts them weights when he hits the gym, and judging by how big his biceps are I can conclude he hits the gym a lot.

"Papa Pedro, can you explain to me why there is some random girl in my apartment?" Demon barks into the phone, his brows connected together in pure annoyance.

"But I --" He gets cut off by this so called Papa Pedro. A moment of silence passes as Demon listens to the man on the other end of the call. It seems as if he doesn't like whatever is being said by the other person because he start running his hand through his short hair out of frustration.

"So, I basically have to babysit her?!" Demon practically screams, "Can't I just kill her?"

Kill me? The fuck?!?

My heart is hammering so hard in my chest, I take a few steps away from Demon, trying to get a little distance between him and myself in case he decides to actually kill me.

A frustrated growl ripples through the apartment as Demon violently taps the phone resulting in the phone call ending. He looks up from the phone and stares at me with a murderous gaze that you only reserve for sick fucks who go around kicking babies.

After a whole five minutes of glaring at me and me just standing there awkwardly, Demon finally unfreezes and walks over to the beat down couch. He ungracefully plops himself on the sofa and places his sock covered feet on the coffee table.

"You might as well get comfortable." He announces, grabbing the remote to the TV that is lying on the armrest of the couch. He switches on the TV and an ESPN's reporter’s voice blared on the TV screen.

"You're gonna be here a long time."
