Forbidden Shado novel Chapter 19

Shadows In Durango

Chapter 19-1

Sofia’s POV

“What the fuck are you doing here?!” Vincent spits in distaste, as the warmth in my stomach quickly diminishes.

“Vincent watch it! I’ve been fair with you, don’t give the poor girl grief!” Mr Stanley warns with a point of his finger, as Vincent pauses to think before offering a stiff nod.

I shuffle from foot to foot, no doubt looking like a deer caught in headlights, considering that he was the last person I expected to find in here…

“Sofia is it? What is your second name?” Mr Stanley pushes, grabbing his small notepad from his back pocket.

“Sofia Isabella.” I whisper, feeling increasingly hot under Vincent’s scorching gaze.

“Great Sofia, I’ll sign you in and I’ll be back in an hour to check in since I have a class to take right now. I fully expect Vincent here to be on his best behaviour and if you have any issues please feel free to pass them on to me.” Mr Stanley states, eyeing Vincent warningly before moving to exit – as I had to fight back the urge in me to scream at him not to leave me here alone.

Being alone in a storage room for an hour with Vincent seemed like literal hell.

He clearly hated me, for whatever reason I don’t know, but at the same time he would often confuse the hell out of me…

The second the door closed, leaving us both completely

alone, I couldn’t help but think that this must be how it feels to be left alone with a psychopath… on edge and terrified of their next move at all times.

Although, this was the same guy who granted me a job here in town, as fucked up and as twisted as it seemed…

I couldn’t ever read him or work him out.

He was impossible.

“I’m starting to think that you’re stalking me?” Vincent begins, leaning on a shelf rack casually as I remain planted by the door – knowing that if I had to escape it would still be possible…

“I… no… I decided to drop out of Physical Ed after what happened yesterday!” I blunder out, like a desperate fool trying to get approval from him.

Vincent eyes me, his features emotionless as he always takes his time to respond – leaving each moment between our exchanges almost agonising to bare.

“Why? I told that bitch to leave you alone! You don’t have to hide from her!” Vincent states as though that should have been the problem squashed.

“No I don’t enjoy the class in general… even the teacher… it’s just not a great fit for me.” I whisper out an explanation, as he rolls his eyes and mutters something from under his breath.

“So you end up stuck in here with me? Because unlike you, I got kicked out of my last class and need to do this now instead without a choice!” He sneers, as though I was an idiot for opting to be here when to him it was a punishment.

sigh, rubbing a hand up my arm for comfort, not really knowing what to do or say next. I wouldn’t offer to leave and go back to class, there was no way, I would rather be stuck here with him over going back there!

Chapter 19.1

“Maybe I could swap over to doing laundry instead for next time? ggest, trying to make a compromise as he seems somewhat surprised by the offer.

He stands back upright, glancing around at the dusty boxed room, before throwing his head back with a groan

Maybe you should. But today you’ll just need to stay here and help He states firmly, turning to grab a large box from the shelf to place it on the desk in the centre of the room.

Just tell me what to do… and I’ll stay out of your way.” I offer soltly intertwining my fingers to ease my anxiety.

He always had me on edge, and I didn’t enjoy how unpredictable his boods were either…

“There’s some print outs over there with what each class needs delivered on Monday, you can start sorting the stuff in to boxes for them. He points to the corner with a stack of papers as I nod and move around him cautiously to reach it.
