《TL TD》I let the Devil in

Ava's POV
"You didn't tell me Aliyah was coming over" my mom said as I stood up to get the door
"Yeah sorry Mom, short notice"
I opened the door revealing a distressed Aliyah. She looked so tired
"Hi" she said, smiling weakly
"Don't just stand there, Invite her in Ava" my mom beamed. I rolled my eyes.
"I was going to do that Mom. Come in"
I opened the door widely for her to enter. It was already dark outside
"Dinner would be served in 15min" mom sang
She looks too happy for my liking. I'm sure it has something to do with Aliyah's presence.
"Thank you Mrs Davis" she said smiling
"But can I skip dinner? I'm not so hungry right now?"
Mom simply smiled
"sure thing dear"
I stood by the door still studying her.
I heard her sniffle a tear when she called me. I think something happened. She could have just called any of her friends. I sighed. My peaceful evening is gone
"Lets go to my room" I said taking the lead upstairs as she followed.
We got in and I shot the door.
"So you want.."
I couldn't finish that sentence cause she pulled me in for a hug. This was so unexpected so I tried to break free
She held me tightly
"Please" she sobbed and I stopped moving
"Please" she said again "Five minutes
Please"
I remained still, listening to her silent sobs.
She held me tightly like I was going to run away anytime
We remained like that even till she stopped crying. I didn't have the heart to pull away.
She finally released me
Weirdly I missed it
She kept drying her face with her hood sleeve.
I sighed
"Come here" I said taking her hand as i pulled her to my wardrobe. I took out a navy blue top and shorts and then I led her to my bathroom.

"Here, take this. There's a spare tooth brush in the bathroom"
She took the cloths and simply nodded.
"Freshing up. I'll be waiting" with that I shot the bathroom door.
I got in bed, deciding that Clinton Kane 'hopeless' was the best song to listen to. Thank God it's Friday
I heard the shower turn on, so I listened. But my anticipation to wait for her till she got out was not greater than my need to sleep so i dozed off
I've always been feeling fatigued so I doze off the moment I get a chance to.
.........
I woke up to somebody spooning me.
I could have panicked but I remembered I had Aliyah in my room.
I lay there quietly and did nothing to shake off the huge teddy bear resting gently on me.
My music was still playing softly in the background. I couldn't go back to sleep so I laid there watching her. She looked beautiful under the moon light.
Hey I'm not a creep. She just look really beautiful and peaceful as she slept.
There's no point to it though. So I sighed
"Hey wake up" I pinched her cheek
"Wake up" I repeated the same action
"What" she moaned out
This made me feel all tingling inside so I pushed her off me.
She rolled off the bed landing on her butt
"Ouch"
"What was that for?" She said holding her butt.
I shrugged.
It was still 4:15am, so she tried to get back in bed, but I pushed her out again.
This time she glared at me
"What?" I asked innocently
"Are you ticklish" she asked out of the blue
"Yeah why"
She smiled
I'll recognize that evil look anywhere
"Come here" she shouted before pouncing on me. I let the Devil in.

He steps impossibly closer, my body now flush with his. His hands slip up my body, threading into my hair as he holds me steady. His thumbs brush up and down my cheeks as if I'm the most precious thing in the world to him."Oh, sweet girl. You never have to ask. I'll give you anything you want. I'll burn the world down for you.

8 284Trapeze (Wattpad Books Edition)
WATTPAD BOOKS EDITIONHow do you trust the ground when all you've known is flight? In this breathtaking debut, Leigh Ansell has created a compelling, heartbreaking, and truly engaging story about a young girl used to flying high only to be faced with living life with her two feet firmly on the ground . . . Seventeen-year-old Corey Ryder can't remember a time when she wasn't gliding through the air of Cirque Mystique's big top. As a trapeze artist in a traveling circus, Corey wakes up every day in a different place, buzzing for the moment she can suspend gravity during the night's performance. When the circus pulls into small-town Sherwood, California, everything seems normal - aside from meeting the exceptionally cute Luke Everett at a local diner. But that night, in the midst of the performance, tragedy strikes and flames overtake the tent. While Corey narrowly escapes, in the ashes of the circus pitch lies the only home she's ever known. Repeatedly thrown out of her comfort zone, Corey must learn how to push toward her future without forgetting her past, what it means to be a daughter to a mother she's never known, and how to navigate the confusing magic of first love, even as she performs the high-wire act of being true to who you really are.

I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before."I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried.""So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes."What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead."You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question."I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." *****One night.
