Chapter 46: Paying the Debt Natalia’s POV
“Me? Your date?” I frown. “What about Valerie?”
“What about her?”
“You brought her shopping for evening gowns the other day. So I thought you were taking her to theparty,” I snort. “She stood you up, didn’t she? And that’s why you are coming back to me now becauseI’m your backup.” “You are unbelievable,” he sighs. He runs his fingers through his hairs as a spasm offrustration flits across his face. “Stop piecing everything together in your mind!” he growls, lowering hiseyelids to avoid my gaze. “I took her shopping, but we didn’t go shopping for evening gowns. If you don’twant to come with me to the party, I might as well go alone.” That’s when I notice a pink tinge appears onhis cheek and his ears are turning red. Is he embarrassed for being so honest? He almost never shareshis real thoughts and true feelings with me, and this is actually the first time. Oh god I love the honestEason way much more than the manipulative jerk he used to be. 1
This is the chance in a lifetime! I’m not letting it slide away so I deliberately tease on him,” Well that’s justtoo bad. I already asked Alex to come with me.” “You what?” he lowers his voice dangerously, ragingflames dancing in his eyes. “You heard me,” I curve up the corner of my lips. “I asked him the day youtook Valerie shopping. We are already on a break, so I figured why not ask Alex—” In the blink of an eye,he strides over, grab my chin and lowers his head. The next second, he presses his lips against mineroughly. I inhale sharply, and he takes the chance to slide his tongue into my mouth, kissing mepassionately and wildly. And I didn’t forget that we are standing right outside of the coffee house. Hismom could be looking at us from above right now and anyone could see us kissing.
“What-what the hell!” I struggle against his iron grip and huff under his lips. “Let go of me!”
It’s been a while since we last kissed. And I can’t deny that I crave for him. I want to be back into hisarms so much. But my rationality is screaming at me,
We are on a break!
I bite his lip. He hisses and finally lets go. But his fingers linger around my cheek, caressing my skin ashe whispers, “God I miss you so much.”
I’m almost seduced by his hoarse voice and deep green eyes.
“Are you crazy? Anyone could have seen us just now!”
“So what? You need to get used to it,” he shrugs.
My heart almost stops beating. Wh-what does he mean?
As if he can read through my mind, he takes my hands again and says in a low voice, “Yeah that’s what Imeant. We can’t stay like this forever. So I was thinking — if you are OK with this
– We can tell your mom and my dad about us after graduation.”
I think I’m living in a dream. My body is shaking, and my will power is gradually shattered by his sweetwords.
“What do you think?” he murmurs besides my ears.
I try fighting back waves of strong emotions and say breathing hard, “…what about Valerie?”
“For a thousand times, she isn’t my girlfriend. And,” he pauses before carrying on.”-I never slept with heragain ever since you were back.”
I bite down my lips to stop myself from smiling.”So, all those acts such as taking her shopping andparading her around the campus…you were just trying to get me jealous right?”
A suspicious blush appears on his cheek and his tone becomes grouchy, “Are you coming to the partywith me or not?” I laugh briefly and then fall into silence, taking a moment to think it over. Eventuallyunder his nervous gaze, I speak up smiling, “I’ll save my first dance for you.”
His face lights up immediately.
“But that doesn’t mean we are back together!” I say hastily. “I still need time to think everything over andmake the right decision…hope you can understand.”
“Yeah of course,” he lands a soft kiss on the back of my hand. “A dance is good enough for me
now.”
