Chapter 23-"Let's start with why I am angry at you"

Kiara Kinght's POV

"Just because we kissed doesn't mean that I am going to talk with you and I only hugged you in dining room because dad said. I am still not talking with you anymore." I folded my hands near my chest as I spoke and looked away once I completed. From the corner of my eyes I found him looking amused. He folded his arms too and came and stood in front of me. I still looked down. He stared at me.

His sea green eyes are looking at me amused. They are so intense that I wanted to squirm under his gaze, but held myself. He has not spoken anything and the staring is not helping anymore. I take a quick look at his face and looked away. I can't take it anymore and spoke.

"What?" He shook his head slightly at my question to say nothing.

"Nothing. I was just wondering." He paused and I looked at him. "I was just wondering if you are not talking with me anymore, why did you come up when I asked you?" I am at loss of words.

That's a question I would ask myself. Yes, why? I opened my mouth to answer, but no words came out. He looked at me waiting for my answer. I blinked and looked away as I looked at him to answer. All I know is I just want to be near him... With him. I want some alone time to spend with him. I scratched my back with my left-hand fingers as I thought what to answer.

"Why?" He asked bending his head down to me. I didn't know what to answer and how to answer it. I push him back with my hands on his chest. He wouldn't budge but moved a bit. I know it's not because I pushed him, but he wanted to, that's why he moved. I walked away from him a bit towards the bed.

"What's with all the questions?" I spoke as if I am irritated when I am not. Before I know it, I am in his arms. He is carrying me to the bed. I squealed as he suddenly lifted me up and my hands clutched his t—shirt.

"Alex!" My voice came out surprised as he chuckled.

He put me on the bed and sat on it. Just as I was about to he leaned forward and put his arms around my waist to pull me to him. I tried to fight him, but he is too strong. He didn't even move an inch. It's like a fly trying to move an elephant. I huffed and looked at him giving up. He has a one-sided smile on his face and looking as hot as ever with the dimple on his cheek. I puffed the hair out of my face.

"Done fighting?" I glared at him. I pursed my lips together. "I didn't know you are so angry with me." I just looked away. He lifted me up with his hands still around my waist and I looked him surprised again. He sat me down in his lap. My legs are around his waist. My hands are on his chest. His hands are around my waist. I still look away.

I heard him sigh and chuckle. I wonder what is it that is amusing him.

"Will you tell me what I did wrong and why you are so angry at me?" His question somewhat angered me.

Does he really have no idea? Or is he being ignorant?

"Come on Little One." He urged me as his hands around me tightened. I struggled to get out of his hold. His grip didn't loosen. I gave up once again. "So you are going to stay angry forever?" I am still not looking at him. I nod my head yes. Of course not. I am going to melt soon if he keeps giving me that smile. "You can still talk if you are angry." I shook my head no.

He pulled me closer if possible and my hands went around his neck at his sudden action. I look down at him in and our eyes met.

"Is there no way that we can negotiate this?" I stare at him for a moment followed by a minute of silence.

"Yes, we can." A smile crossed his lips and damn here are those hot dimples again. I want to poke his dimple. I looked back at him.

"I am ready to hear your terms and conditions, my Lady." He leaned down to nibble my ear lobe and I am lost. I bit my lip and my hands instantly went into his hair. "My Little One." His voice came out as a whisper. His breath tickled my ear. He pulled away and we stared for a minute. I composed myself. I can't lose this easily.

"Let's start with why I am angry at you." He sat back and leaned against the headboard like he has been for a while now and pushed the hair behind my ear.

"Okay. I am dying to know that." I raise my eyebrow at that.

"Really? You have no idea?" He paused a second at my question.

"I think it might have to do something with what happened the day before you came back home." I looked at him. "But, I know there is more to it."

"You are right. I think you didn't miss me at all."

"Why?" I shrug my shoulders at that. "I truly did miss you." I shake my head at him for that.

"I don't think so. You didn't even call me the month I left and it's like I do not matter to you anym-" He cut me off at that.

"Do not say that." His voice is sharp and he is looking at me seriously. Not angrily, but seriously.

"Oh, but I think it's true. You didn't even call me once in the first two weeks and you didn't come to send me off while I was leaving to come home." He sighed. He pursed his lips before speaking.

"That's because..." I stared at him, waiting for him to continue. He didn't. I am truly shocked as it is the first time that I am seeing him at loss of words. "I am sorry, that I didn't call you. I didn't want to watch you leave and that's why I didn't come to send you off." He paused for a minute. "I didn't want you to leave." My heart fluttered at that. "Even you didn't answer any of my calls when I called."

I looked away, yet again. He made me look at him by turning my face as he held my chin gently. My eyes are still not on his face. I hesitantly looked at him.

"I presume it's because you are angry at me." His voice is so masculine. So, hot! God, concentrate Kiara!

"Oh, that's right, Mr. Arrogant." My sarcastic answer only made him smile amusedly in return. Damn dimple! Stop appearing! I need to concentrate here! I scold myself and bring myself back to normal.

"Mr. Arrogant, huh?" He smirked.

"Of course, you are." I am not scared of him. He stared at me for a minute.

"That I am." He paused a minute before speaking again. "So, will you tell me what it is that you are so mad at me about?"

I bit my lip thinking about it. I want to tell him how hurt I am from his rejection. He had already rejected me twice if the night of the first kiss is counted. I am really hurt by it. Should I tell him that? Maybe I shouldn't. Maybe he might not consider it rejecting. We are not even in a relationship, then it cannot be rejecting. But it feels like one to me. It still does.

"Little One." His whisper brought me out of my thoughts and I look at him. What should I tell him? Maybe I should tell him the truth. I looked at him and gathered my courage together.

"I... I didn't like that you rejected me." He is looking at me seriously, listening to me intently. "The day before I left, you said we cannot work out. That's has really hurt me." He was silent for a minute. He took a deep breath. My heartbeat fastened as I waited for him to say something.

"I am sorry." He really meant them and I can hear it in his voice.

I nod my head accepting his apology. All I can do is forgive him, but that's not going to take away the pain.

"How about, I give you a chance?" He spoke suddenly and I look at him both surprised and confused. "How about I give you an alternative?" I am still confused. What is he talking about?

"What?" My hands went around his neck as I am sitting in his lap. He stared at me. There is something in his eyes. Some emotion that I can't put my finger in it. But, right now, he is looking at me like I have always wanted him to look at me. With... With love. Don't give me hope Alex.

"I want you to be my girlfriend." That was all it took. My heart beat took a Ferris wheel ride and my eyes and mouth went wide. I feel like someone just told me that mutants are real. Shocked. Complete and utter shock.

"What?!" My voice came out louder in surprise than it should. Is this real?! Did he just say that?!

"Be my girlfriend." It almost felt like an order. It is an order. I was about to get off him in shock and have some distance between us, but he pulled me back.

It took me a minute to process all this. He really did say that. I can't believe this?! He wants me to be his girlfriend! A mixture of many emotions are flowing down me. Happiness, shock, nervousness, but mostly happiness. I don't know what to say.

"I am not good at expressing but, all I can say is I miss you. I don't care anymore. I don't care what I am putting on edge with us being together. I want you. All to myself." I am still in shock.

"Alex." It's merely a whisper.

"I want this to be serious. Remember, once you get in, there is no getting out of it." He paused. "You can't get rid of me that easily. Once you are mine, you will always be mine." There is his arrogance again. But, there is desire too in his voice. My heart rate still didn't come down. My palms are sweating and my stomach is turning, not the bad kind, but the good one.

'I... I don't know what to say." I am happy that I was able to speak something at least.

"You don't have to. Take your time. Think about it. There is no turning back once we are together. I have been holding back myself a lot since past years and I don't think I will once we are together. I won't let you slip away. So, think about it. You can tell me when you are ready. But say yes."

I nod my head. Some part of me is still thinking all of this is my dream, but then. He is here, in front of me, this is real and I am not dreaming. His hands around my waist tightened. He slid us both down on the bed and held me close. My legs instantly tangled with his. My face nestled in his chest. I breathe in his scent. He smells so good. I missed this!

"I missed this." Those words left this mouth and I bit my lip to stop the happy grin that was about to appear on my face.

"Me too." I can't help but say it out loud, although I just whispered. He kissed the crown of my head and pulled much closer if possible and I happily allowed him to.

I tried to close my eyes and sleep, but it's nowhere near. My head is occupied with all the thoughts and about what he said just a few minutes ago. My heart and my mind both want to be with him, but I am scared that if anything ever goes wrong, then things might not remain the same. Many questions are running through my mind. Right now I want to focus on my business.

Am I ready to take the risk? I sighed thinking about it.

"Go to sleep. Don't think too much now." For some reason, I blushed that he knows that I am thinking about what he said and I put my hand on him before closing my eyes to fall asleep. Somewhere when I was about to fall into sleep, I heard him. "Be mine, Little One."

I should think about it, Alex.
