For Jake, the following days were boring and unamusing except for Nyla who kept ignoring him ever since he kissed her.

Today, however Jake couldn't take his eyes off her.

She was wearing a short black plaided skirt which complimented her skin and a dark purple tube top that hugged her curves with her leather jacket.

Her black knee high boots worked for her legs making them look even more sexy.

Jake wanted to run his hands through her sexy legs, go up higher and higher until...

He really shouldn't be thinking these thoughts about her at all but he couldn't resist.

She attracted him, especially her demon scent that he wanted to lose himself in.

Her hair was tied up in a ponytail and she wore smoky makeup that made her eyes even look more alluring.

Jake didn't believe she need it, her eyes were beautiful with or without makeup.

Of course, Jake had numerous of girls following him around like love sick puppies.

And of course he flirted with them but for some reason, Nyla's face would appear when Jake wanted to have sex with some girls he saw for his needs.

And for the first time, Jake wanted to be with Nyla more than anything and each day, Jake noticed her demon side was getting stronger and stronger and her human side slowly disappearing.

It would only be a matter of time before her 18th birthday and she would have to go to hell to become a demon and have her human side disappear or stay on earth and let her demon side disappear and become human.

Jake felt a warmth grow in him when she was near him and found himself unconsciously looking for her or leaning towards her.

Jake knew that this wasn't normal but he liked it.

Everyone was buzzing about the party tonight at lunch and Jake was invited by almost every girl in the whole school except for one specific hazel eyed girl.

Jake gave bored expressions when girls were rubbing against him.

Jake looked for the demi-child that he wanted to be his.

He saw her getting her lunch with two boys watching her every move.

Jake saw Nyla look over the boys and felt her demon side take charge.

Nyla grabbed a spoon and sucked on it suggestively and the boys dropped their food and walked away.

Jake saw Mr. Shoe come up to her and when Nyla turned, he sensed her human side take over and Nyla quickly took out the spoon and placed it on her tray.

"Oh, uh, hi." Jake could tell she was nervous by her body language and trying to act like nothing was wrong.

Mr. Shoe was just looking at her like he was trying to figure her out.

"What are you doing?"

"Me, oh nothing. Just...getting my lunch. You know, so I won't die of hunger but it looks like I'm going to die because anyways because this food looks poisonous. Not even people in prisons get this type of food."

Mr. Shoe just stared at her.

"Uh-huh. Don't forget the essay on the scarlet letter." Mr. Shoe said and walked away.

Nyla sighed and Jake felt her demon take over again.

Nyla grabbed her tray, dropped it in the trash and walked out of the cafeteria.

"Where you going, Jakey?" One girl, Rhia, a pretty brunette, said as she looked at him hungrily.

Jake stomach coiled in disgust when Rhia called him Jakey.

He hated the nickname and didn't answer and followed Nyla.

He spotted her, talking to a tall good looking guy.

Jake wouldn't have thought anything of it but he saw Nyla's face that had confusion written all over them.

Jake stepped closer to make sure she didn't see him.

He caught their conversation and Jake's expression darken.

"Its okay..." The guy said and Jake noticed he was looking at Nyla hungrily.

"No, it's not. I don't sleep with people." Nyla said, her anger growing.

The guy advanced on her and kissed her but Nyla pushed him away, her human side ebbing away.

"Its okay. Really, come on." The guy grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her.

Jake was angry, he was gripping the wall with brute force that made a crack in the wall.

Nyla struggled against him as he tried to grope her.

Nyla pushed against him but the guy was physically superior and Nyla, even with her demon strength, couldn't win against him.

Jake didn't think when he ran to them, he didn't think when he yanked the guy off of Nyla, he didn't think when he punched the guys jaw and left him unconscious.

He only began to think when he turned and saw Nyla crying and covering her mouth in horror.

Jake didn't know what to do. He never saw a girl cry in front of him but he felt an urge to wipe away her tears and make her feel better.

But he stood rooted in his spot.

"Nyla..." Jake whispered softly, feeling a tingle coming from his mouth as he said her name.

Nyla sucked in a breath and tried to compose herself but she looked like she was going to faint.

"Are you okay?" Jake asked softly. For any other person, he wouldn't give a damn but Nyla was different.

"Huh? Yeah. I'm fine. I just...wanted a bit of fresh air." Her voice cracked and Jake knew she wanted to be held.

He noticed she avoided looking at the guy who was passed out on the floor.

"Thanks...you know...for what happened." She said softly.

Jake hadn't realized he was leaning towards her until he caught himself.

"It wasn't a big deal." Jake answered.

A wind blew against them and he saw wisps of her hair escape from her ponytail and framing her face like a halo.

Jake believed there wasn't anything was more sexy than the girl in front of him.

She shivered and hugged herself.

"Let me hold you." Jake said automatically without thinking.

He didn't know why he said it but he did.

Nyla looked shocked but quickly gained her composure.

She hesitated and offered a small smile.

"No, it's okay." Nyla said.

Jake didn't understand this girl. She looked vulnerable yet tough.

He wanted to protect her and yet break down the wall she had.

"Come on, let me hold you." Jake noticed a small begging noise in his voice.

Why was he dying to have her in his arms to make sure she was safe?

"No, its fine. Really." Nyla now had a guarded look on her face and Jake forced himself to calm down his urgency.

"Then, come with me to Anita's party."

"I don't really like parties." She said softly and Jake walked up to her and grabbed her hand, the tingle and warmth and heat going into him.

She gasped and tried to pull away but he held on tighter.

"Go with me. Please." Jake didn't know what made her change her mind but she softened and answered.

"O-okay." Jake felt his heart swell and had the urge to kiss her but didn't.

She had enough scares today.

Jake smiled at her.

"Great. I'll pick you up around 8. Wear something hot."
