Chapter 48 - I Almost Do

The next day.

While the Su family are busy with their business, Selena was in the living room waiting for Killian.

Killian didn't say in the note what time he will pick her up, she was not even sure if he will bring her to his mother's party.

She sighed and took her phone out of her clutch, the last message she received was from Barney. Since they met, the man always sends her messages asking about her day, if she's alright or if she had eaten. Those simple gesture of him touches her, she doesn't have a brother so having Barney around has helped her to easily adjust in this island.

She had the silk dress on, knowing that Killian might bring her to the party on the ship, she decided to bring a wrap with her.

She was breathing heavily when her phone rang. She immediately got up after reading a message from an unknown number saying 'I am in your room.'

Selena rose an eyebrow and hastily got up. Her heels didn't bother her legs as she rushed towards her bedroom. She ran as if her life depends on it. When she finally reached the door, her hand pushed the door open and found Killian leaning against the wall.

Her eyes swelling in surprise scanned his body. He had a gray suit on, short hair was neatly gelled while a piercing was on his left ear.

She gulped hard, Killian was staring at her laptop and with his eyebrow creasing indifferently, Selena's heart pulverized.

Last night she spent some hours searching about Alejandro's family. She had searched about Alejandro's parents and only found a complete and loving family, and it was all based on the photos and some articles written about his mother. And just an hour ago, out of boredom, she searched for Killian's information. But she didn't find any, aside from the fact that his name was came from a saint.

She bit on her lower lips when Killian suddenly turned to face her, with the same perplexed face, the man walked towards her.

She heard him scoffing, a faint one.

Selena's eyes lowered to the floor, afraid to meet his eyes.

She took a step backward while Killian continued walking closer to her until he finally cornered her.

"Are you not wondering why you couldn't find any information about me?" he spoke in a deep voice. He had taken a step back, giving her enough space to feel comfortable.

Selena met his taunting eyes; they were shining as he stared at her.

"Why?" she asked, even though she didn't spend so much time searching about him, she's still wondering why there was not even a single picture of him online.

He vibrantly poked her forehead with his finger and chuckled.

"Silly, you wrote Killian pervert Dane, of course, you won't find anything about me," he turned his back on her and picked up the laptop on the bed. He shut it down after closing the browser and turned to look at her.

Meanwhile, Selena remained stunned, she did in fact search just his name but still, there was no result.

"Shall we?" Killian's voice has pulled her back from deep thinking. She looked at him, one of his arms was waiting for her.

She wrapped her hand around his arm and, they both left her room.

As they strode along the hallway, she looked at him and asked, "How did you get in here?" she has been wondering about that, especially how did he manage to put the box last night in her room.

The man gave her a taunting smile and said, "Its easy. I used the door."

"What?"

"Your sexy Auntie let me in last night. I just want to leave the box at the café but, she gave me the key to your room and I still have it," he cheerfully said and played with the key he took from his pocket.

"Are you crazy?" she stopped and look at him with disbelief.

"That's also Alexa's room. It's not appropriate for you to-" she was cut out when Killian took her hand, intertwined their fingers and pulled her body to walk.

"Before coming to your room. I have asked your auntie if anyone is inside and I also knocked before coming in."

Selena blew a sigh, suddenly thought on how desperate her family was to get her married that they even let a stranger – who deliberately kissed her, to be in her room.

As they arrived in the cafe, the room was full of customers. Each of the customers has turned their heads to look at her, amazed by her bewitching beauty. Every movement she makes showed elegance.

When they reached the door, she saw her Uncle Evan looking so furious.

"What is his problem?" she murmured.

"Don't worry, Evan is not angry at you. He's pissed off because Alexa kept on nagging at him about getting a boyfriend."

Daniella spoke from behind, and this time Selena was not startled, her family is like mushrooms, they popped out everywhere.

She nodded and bid her goodbye to her family. Selena and Killian walked towards his car and after settling on the passenger seat, the man sat on the driver seat and drove away.

They were both quiet, the sounds of their breathing together with the acoustic song of 'Photograph' was playing on the radio.

After some hours of driving, Killian stopped in the parking lot at the port. He opened the door like a gentleman and offered his arm which Selena didn't refuse.

As they strode towards the entrance of the ship, Selena's eyes caught Alejandro.

Instantly, a smile has made her lips to curve, she was about to wave a hand and shout his name when a woman with a blonde hair and red long sequin dress suddenly hugs Alejandro from behind.

"Who is she?" she absently said, she meant to only ask herself, she's not waiting for anyone to answer her but a hot air followed by a deep voice rang in her ear.

"That's my brother's fiancée."

Her heart throbbed for a moment, with her lips parted in perplexity, she turned and looked at Killian.

"I thought they have broken up?" she said in a whisper, not because she's afraid for someone to hear it but, she just doesn't have enough energy to say it.

Killian shrugged a shoulder and pointed his lips at Alejandro, the man was escorting his fiancée to walk on the stairs.

"I thought so too but, I guess they have worked it out."

Hearing those words was damaging her ears, she gulped hard and wondered why she felt a pain in her chest, it's not that Alejandro said that he likes her.

She took in a deep breath and, slowly walked towards the ship with Killian on her side, masking her tense face with a faint smile.
