A New Relationship

*Rose's POV* My eyes flutter open to the sight of two arms wrapped around me. I turn slightly and face Malik. I push his hair away from his face.

He looks so peaceful and happy right now.

I want to do more for him; but I don't know how.

I feel so happy like this, with Malik holding me.

Why?

I just met him, didn't I?

I lean toward his lips; I want to kiss him, I don't understand why though.

I get close enough to feel Malik's warm breath against my lips. I get closer and closer until.

Malik wakes up.

I quickly pull away and stare into his lavender eyes.

I could lose myself in his eyes. They seem so warm and loving; but they also seem to hide something.

"Morning." I blush upon hearing his voice.

"Good morning, Malik." Was my only response.

He releases his hold on me.

Though I was hesitant, I get out of bed and look at my clock.

"Wow, it's 11:15. We must have slept through most of the morning."

Malik didn't seem to mind. He shrugged his shoulders and walked to my doorway.

"Um.I guess I'll be working on my motorcycle." Says Malik.

"That might be a good idea. The storm is still around though, who knows when it will end." It wasn't a total lie. The storm was still around; but it was lighting up. Which means it will eventually disappear, along with Malik.

Malik walks into my bathroom to change.

I close my own door and change into a loose black tank top and loose jeans.

Ten minutes later, I decided to check on Malik in the garage. He was there working on his motorcycle just like he said he would.

Malik wore a white tank top that hung loosely on him, which revealed his bronzed skin. He also wore tight leather pants.

I couldn't help but stare at him.

Malik must have noticed me because he smiled and said, "Hey, I'm almost done. Perhaps we could do something afterwards."

"Um.sure. Anything I could do to help, though?"

"No, I'm pretty much done." With that he turns back to his bike and continues working.

I decided to head back upstairs and wait for Malik to finish.

An hour and half Later

I hear Malik's footsteps, as he appears from the garage.

"Took you long enough." I say as I stare at him.

Malik just chuckles and says "Sorry. When I was done, I noticed something else was out of alignment and needed to be fixed."

"Whatever. Hungry?"

He didn't need to answer; his stomach gave a loud growl.

I laugh and make Malik and myself a small meal.

Malik was really hungry; he ate it so fast he nearly chocked.

When we were done, I put the dishes in the sink.

We were in complete silence.

Malik was the one to break the silence. "So.what movies do you have?"

I tried to let a smile appear on my face as I said, "The storm's over Malik."

"Oh." Was the only thing he could say.

I lead Malik back into the garage.

Before he got on his bike, Malik grabbed my arm and asked, "Could I get your number?"

"Excuse me?"

Malik blushed "I mean so we could stay in touch. But, only if you want to."

"Malik, I would love that."

I write my number on a small piece of paper and hand it to him.

He carefully placed the paper into his pocket and hopped on his bike.

I opened the garage door and waved good-bye.

He gave me a quick wink, before speeding off.

*Normal POV* A shadowy figure stands in the trees, staring down at Rose.

"So.it worked after all. This time, you will be mine. I won't allow Malik to take you from me again! You will be mine!"
