I wake up to the sun beaming on my face. I grab my duvet and pull it higher over my head desperately trying to block the sun out.

After lying in bed for a few more minutes I grudgingly decide that I should probably get up.

It's Saturday, that's a good thing because there's no school but a bad thing because there's so much homework that needs to be done. Just thinking about he pile of work on my desk is giving me anxiety.

I walk over to my bathroom and grab my phone in the process. I check my messages to find that I've got 12 new messages from Tori complaining about how her cousin fucked up her box braids and that they're so uneven that she's never going to be able to show her face in public ever again. I laugh at the pictures of her hair that she sent to me and shake my head at her exaggeration and message her back saying how it's not as bad as she's making it I out to be.

Putting my phone down I freshen up for the day and decide to wear black leggings and a baggy T-shirt. It's not like I had plans to go anywhere today anyways.

I walk downstairs to find a note from my parents. Luke's at a football tournament and will be gone the whole day whereas my parents had to go in to work unexpectedly.

I decide that this is a good thing and I'm glad that I'll have the whole house to myself.

I forget about breakfast and grab a whole packet of Oreos and a glass of milk instead. I throw myself onto the couch and flick through the channels until I land on nickelodeon, yay back to back SpongeBob is on!

Four glasses of milk, Two packs Oreos and 8 SpongeBob episodes later I decide to finally start doing homework and revision.

I was just about to walk up the stairs when I hear the doorbell.

Grabbing the blanket that I was using on the couch I throw it around my shoulders like a cape and make my way towards the door.

I open it and look up at the sexy man in front of me. "Hey Grayson." I say smiling trying to hide my shock and embarrassment.

"Hi beautiful." He says making me blush, I try to cover my face with the blanket around my shoulders but get stopped by Grayson's large hands.

"Don't ever hide your blush. Especially when I'm the one that put it there." He says with a lob-sided boyish grin.

I stare at his beautiful face and can't find the urge to look away. He leans into my ear and whispers, "Breathe mi amore"

"Ok, umm would you like to come in?" I ask snapping back into reality.

"Yh sure, I actually came to tell you something." He says whilst walking into the hallway.

I walk over to the fridge and I hear his footsteps following behind me. I grab a coke and hand it to him.

"Thanks." He says taking a sip.

"So your mother called and said that both her and your father will be working late. Luke was going to sleepover one of his friends house. Ermm she asked me to stay over with you."

"I don't need a babysitter!" I say raising my voice slightly and folding my arms across me chest in a stubborn manner.

"Of course you don't. I'm sure your mums just worried because she doesn't know the area well. She doesn't want you to get hurt and neither do I. " he said coming to stand opposite me and uncrossing my arms to hold both of my hands.

"Please let me stay. I won't be able to sleep this night knowing that you're here alone."

"What about your pack? Don't you need to be with them?" I ask.

"My pack lives in a pack house behind the forest. It's we'll hidden away from humans. I stay with them most of the time but also have the house opposite yours that I stay at occasionally. Daniel my beta can take care of things for the night." He assured me

"Oh ok, I guess that's fine then on one condition." I say smiling slightly.

He raises one eyebrows before replying, "And what condition would that be exactly?"

"You're an old guy." I begin. He rolls his eyes but nods for me to continue. "You've probably lived throughout historic events, heck you were probably even best buds with Albert Einstein once upon a time and definitely helped William Shakespeare with his writing and poetry." I say jokingly.

He shakes with laughter and glances down at me telling me to continue.

"So the point is that I've got homework and loads of it and you're so going to be helping me." I say pointing my index finger on his strong abs.

He leans down and kisses me on my cheek. "Of course I'll help you mi amore."

With him still holding my hand I lead him up the stairs to my room where the pile of work is sitting on my desk from this morning waiting to be completed.

Sitting on my desk chair I say the first thing that comes to mind. "What does mi amore mean? And what language is it? Because if its Spanish then you can help me with that too. That class confuses the hell out of me." I complain with a slight pout.

He rolls his eyes and grabs a chair. Sitting down next to me, I open my maths book and with a deep breath finally begin my work.

A few hours later I'm all done thanks to Grayson's help.

I stand up from my chair and flop myself onto my bed face first.

"You're really something you know that right?" Grayson says stretching from the chair he's still sitting on.

"Well excuse me for being tired. School sucks and I can't want for it to be over. Only a few months left." I say smiling brightly at the thought of school ending.

"Yh Hun, whatever you say. Oh and you're actually really intelligent you know, I don't see how you're going to fail anything." He says standing up.

"It's not about failing. I know I'm not going to fail I just have very high expectations for myself. I want straight A's and nothing less, anything less just isn't good enough for me." I opened up honestly.

"You're more than capable of getting straight A's. I know you are and I'm always right." He says teasingly lightning the mood. With one look into his beautiful grey eyes I know that he's telling the truth.

"You want me to cook you something?" He asks me suddenly. I've never had another man cook for me before except my dad and the feeling made me all tingly inside.

"Ermm sure" I say blushing. I was about to look down when I remembered Grayson's words of warning earlier by the doorway.

Smiling at him I get of the bed, take his outstretched hand and walk down the stairs into the kitchen.

The rest of the night was spent eating the best lasagne that I'd ever had, hanging out with Grayson and watching horror movies.

I was glad that Grayson cared enough to come over and stay with me, he made me feel safe and extremely happy.
