Chapter 7

Confusing Collisions


***EPOV

"I don't think you realize who you're speaking to, little girl," I warned, following right behind her. Don't ask me how I ended up in this ridiculous argument, I have no idea. She started it!

And you're determined to finish it.

Damn right I am!

It'd been barely fifteen minutes since I'd met the creature in front of me. I was already prepped to call this 'mission' quits.

Except...fucking shit. A part of me was literally alive from our verbally violent back-and-forth. I wanted to leave.

I wanted to stay and win.

The challenge was nerve sparking.

"Oh, please," she said, slamming through the glass door of the building complex. "You're just another power drunk asshole. Let me tell you this, my life was way better when I believed the lies the 'good book' said about you guys."

I growled. Would've been surprised at the sound but I was too busy following the annoying girl through the lobby and towards the elevators.

And...

You're having fun, asshole. Just admit it.

Fuck!

"Well, then you understand something. Stop. Pushing. Me," I snapped, glaring down at her as she pushed the button.

"Stop. Pushing. Me," she mimicked, the tone of her voice making me see red.

I let her go ahead into the metal contraption, knowing my eyes were spitting fire at her.

"Well?" she asked again, her face brutally antagonizing.

I remained frozen, glaring at her. "Whatever," she mumbled, rolling her eyes again and letting the elevator close. I walked away from it, heading straight to the stairs. Once there, I closed my eyes and flashed myself directly onto her floor.

Right in front of the elevator.

Right as it opened.

Huge. Fucking. Mistake.

"Holy shit!" the girl cried, stumbling out of the elevator when she saw I was there.

And, somehow, falling straight into my arms.
