demands.
“I’m not decent.” I admit.
“You naked?” He asks shocked and I can’t help but smile.
“No, the opposite.” I still laugh.
“I’m confused.” He admits. “Are you hungry?”
At his question my stomach growls. He’s not going to go away, I could let him in a run for my room to change. When Devlin knocks loudly again I decide to open the door and fuck the consequences. When I open the door I look to the floor in embarrassment.
“What’s the matter?” Devlin asks.
I look up at him, eyebrows raised in question.
“Seriously? Look at me!” I point out.
“Tash you look fine.” He walks past me and into the kitchen. I shut the door behind him and follow as he continues talking. “It’s nice to see you natural. I don’t think you could ever not look beautiful.” His words make me stop. I can’t believe he just said that.
“Just give me a couple minutes.” I say as I speed walk to the bathroom.
I splash cold water on my face to freshen up, tidy my high bun and decide there’s not point changing my clothes so I give myself a fresh spray of perfume and leave to find Devlin where I left him. I find him making himself at home, getting out plates from the cupboard and reaching into the bags her bought in with him.
“What have you got there?” I ask as I stand behind him.
“Grim told me you were alone so I left them to it and bought you something to eat.” He simply answers. I’m speechless, I don’t think anybody has done something so sweet for me and yet, it’s so simple. I don’t have the words but by his smile he knows what I’m thinking. He can read me so well. I watch as he takes out the Subs, muffins and cookies. My mouth waters as I follow him to the table. I haven’t had anything to eat since I had toast with Lauren this morning. I wonder how she’s getting on, I would send her a cheeky text but I don’t want to disturb her.
“So I saw the building for the salon.” I say, deciding to break the silence.
“What’s it look like?” He asks.
“You haven’t seen it?” I’m shocked, I thought he would know.
“No.” He laughs. “I left that to Drew and my dad.”
I take a bite out of my sandwich and moan from the taste. “God this Sub is good!” I open my eyes and see Devlin gazing at me. I swallow the food and place it back down on the plate.
“Sorry.” I laugh.
“Don’t apologise.” He smiles, taking a big bite out of his own. How can a man eating look so sexy? Once we have finished eating, Devlin decides that he wants to get a drink and head outside.
“Did you tell the girls we kissed?” He asks me with a mischievous grin. I feel my cheeks burn as I look away. I nervously laugh as I feel him looking at me.
“Of course I did. They already knew we left together, I woke up to a phone full of texts.” I answer, still looking down at my hands as a distraction.
“Yeah, that dance wasn’t fooling anyone was it?” He asks. Devlin’s voice sounds deep and husky.
“No.” I breathe. The atmosphere becomes thick with what I’m assuming is lust. I love flirting with Devlin and the attention he gives me even more. He makes me feel beautiful but once he sees my hidden scars I know he won’t think the same of me. As soon as he looks at the deep scars in my most intimate areas, he will be disgusted and will want nothing more to do with me. I don’t if I should take that chance and get closer to him keep him at arm’s length so he will never see me. I can’t make up my mind.
“You ok?” He asks. “Something went on in that head of yours.”
“What?” I snap out of my thoughts, sitting up straight.
“Don’t start lying Tasha, as soon as I mentioned that dance you drifted away.” Devlin explains. “You can’t fool me.”
I lean back in my chair and look Devlin over. He really can see right through me and I can’t decide whether that’s a good thing or not. Devlin stands from his seat opposite me and takes the one beside me. He leans
