TEMPTATION
CHAPTER 7: The Scar
Catalina’s P.O.V
I walked in through my door, throwing my jacket on the hanger. I stormed up stares, hearing my mom in the background “Is that you Catalina?” I sighed before going into my bedroom “Yea ma”. I walked inside my room throwing my backpack on the floor and paced back and forth in front of my bed.
How is this possible? Oh god….I Kissed an angel? I never thought I would say that. Oh….he’s probably even more vulnerable now! I grabbed my phone out of my pocket. I have to tell Tay, but quick as I picked it up I put it down. I walked towards my bathroom, when my phone ringed. I turned around to go see who it was......Harry.
How did he get my number? Still freaked out about his supernatural powers, I put the phone back down. As I turned around heading back to the door a rush of air came waving towards me, I felt a shadow of a presence but I was afraid to turn around. To face it, But I had to……sooner or later.
I slowly did a 360 till I was facing towards my window. My heart jumped out my chest into my hand, I probably shouldn’t have been too surprised.
It was Harry.
How did he? ---oh I forgot he’s an “angel”
He climbed in through my window with ease. The hem of his shirt eased up showing some skin with a bit of his V-line.
I stood there, even though my mom was down stairs I felt like nobody could help me. Of course I wanted to scream but the lump in my throat wouldn’t allow me to.
He walked over to me, circling around me, studying my body language. I felt so exposed since he’s able to get inside my head. He stopped behind me; I felt his body warmth hover over me. He leaned down towards my ear---my breath quickened “Why’d you run angel?”
My breath rate went back to normal. He’s not mad, that’s good.
He came off from behind me and head over to my desk. He picked up my belongings, observing them closely.
“What….what do you want?”
He broke his connection of admiring my objects on my desk to me. His face was angry and his lips were pushed into a hard line “So now you’re scared of me?”
I tried to play like I’m not “No, no….I just. How did you get up here?”
He smirked at me, bringing his eyes back to my desk “Never doubt the impossible Miss Mendez”
He walked towards me now, slowly. Kind of sexy if I should say “You are a smart, beautiful women Catalina”
I blushed; it’s been a while since I’ve been called that. He continued “Don’t be scared love”
I sat slowly on the bed; I need something that could help my off balance. He came and stood right in front of me, staring at me intensely. “Can I ask you a question?” I said
He sat down beside me “Obviously after what I told you of course you can” he was happier now, since I wasn’t as scared of him. “If you’re an angel and not human, why are you going to school?”
His face went hard like he just seen a ghost, he got up taking off his jacket; throwing it on my desk chair. “And tell me the truth” I added, he leaned up against the desk with his arms crossed along with his feet.
Whoa! He has tattoos?

Harry’s P.O.V
She was staring at me waiting for an answer. I saw her eyes wonder over to my tattoos I tried to cover them up with my hands, but I had a massive collection so that wouldn’t help.
I got ready to tell her, but I also felt like I shouldn’t. “I was sent down here um to..” oh sit! What am I going to say? I was sent down here to kill you….so grab a knife for me? No, I don’t think she was ready to hear this “I was sent here to watch over you…um…keep you safe” for some reason I was stuttering.
She looked at me like I was here knight and shining armor, that came down from above to rescue her. She got up from the bed and walked over to me, slowly with caution in her eyes.
She rubbed her knuckles against my cheek bones; I closed my eyes taking in her soft hands. I haven’t been touched like that in a long time. I opened my eyes now, looking into her soul. She put her small hands around my strong stomach, but I moved before she could.
“What’s wrong she said?” I stood by her window watching this frail elder women straddle over to her mailbox to retrieve her mail before focusing my attention back on her. “Do you remember your father?”
She stared off into the distance, thinking about a memory. “A little”
“Did you ever notice any faint scars on his back?” she slipped back into a flashback before answering me “Yeah” she sat down on her bed, gazing at the wall “My family and I were at a pool party I think…I was too small to remember and he was walking past me smiling. And on his left and right side of is back there was these faint scars”
I walked closer to her “What did they look like?”
She squinted her eye’s trying to think really hard “Um, they were like a…..upside down m”
“Why you ask?” she continued “Oh, I just wanted to know. Actually did you ever touch them?”
“No not that I recall, dad was mostly gone and didn’t come home till night time….it’s hard to remember, I was only two”
I decided to ease off of her now, before she put two and two together. I hoped on her bed beside her, turning on my friendly face. “So cat, if I asked you on a date what would you say?”
She switched back to friendly mode too “It’s a yes or no answer, but I’m a kind of “I don’t know girl” I smirked at her smart mouth.
I scooted up closer on to her bed, placing my arm behind my head. She was staring at me closely now, studying my body movement “Don’t bite your lip angel….or I’ll have to kiss you again”
She blushed from how straight forward I was. “Your adorable when you blush” I sat up and slipped my finger into the loops in her pants. She straddled my lap, laughing playfully “So” I caressed her back with my fingers “so” she mocked me “Do you want to go to that pool party at Taylors on Saturday?” I asked her.
She was stunned that I even knew about that “Oh, well……mmm I mean you have to go, you have to watch over me remember? So it doesn’t matter if I say yes or no, you’ll still come”
My face was serious now “If you don’t want me there I don’t have to go, I can keep a distance while still watching you” her friendly face switched to sad “No, no I want you there”
I rolled over, hovering over her body. I rubbed my knuckles against her cheek “So you want me?” she rolled her eyes and hit my chest playfully “You know what I mean”
I stared down at her eyes and in that moment I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t kill this innocent girl, who doesn’t even know what she is? This girl was different, not stuck up like the others. I’m normally in control; it feels good actually having somebody that intimidates me, challenge my authority.
I walked in through my door, throwing my jacket on the hanger. I stormed up stares, hearing my mom in the background “Is that you Catalina?” I sighed before going into my bedroom “Yea ma”. I walked inside my room throwing my backpack on the floor and paced back and forth in front of my bed.
