She was so unprepared and it took her 10 seconds to register what's going on. She is being kissed! And it is so unforgiving that she tasted blood. She was panting heavily when he let go of her, gasping for breath.
Pak! With murder dangerously glinting in her eyes, Avery slapped the man. Why is it that every man she met these days in reality and in dreams are kissing bandits! Always getting what they want without her consent! And she still has an unsettled angst with this guy.
"How dare you do that!", her voice was low and frosty. Eyes glittering with murder as she walked back slowly to put distance between them. She is going to teach this man a lesson come hell or high water.
"I already did, didn't I?," Ethan mocked, arms akimbo. What can this small woman do? he thought
"You are so gonna regret it!", Avery shrieked while running and wrestling him to the ground. She was like an angry koala, tightly holding him down while raining punches on his face and chest. She didn't care how wild she looked, how unladylike or how disheveled she is. All her stress this past days are going out in angry outbursts and Ethan unfortunately took the brunt of it.
"Hey woman! Hold your horses!", Ethan was busy avoiding punches to his handsome face. This woman packs a mean wallop and he already has a bleeding mouth. He is sure that he will be having a black eye also. He did not expect her to react this way.
"You unprincipled son of how bitch! Did your mother not teach you manners? This lady will teach you respect in capital letters!", she continued shrieking as Ethan was able to held her hands tightly.
Ethan moved around and pinned her down to ensure that she can't punch him anymore. He made an extra effort to cover her from prying eyes as another crowd gathered around them, reminiscent of what happened in the airport. She was wearing a skirt so he ensured that her legs are properly covered. No matter how vexed he is, a possesive feeling is rising in his chest, not wanting others to see any unclothed parts of her body.
"Hey....sweetheart, easy will you?", he did not expect her to react this way thus, he fell when she jumped him. He did not want to unceremoniously kiss her but this woman always drives him beyond control whenever they meet. When she said that she will not fall for the likes of him, he lost it and kissed her.
" Let go of me!", she gritted. Avery was panting heavily when rationalization suddenly sank in. They were in a crowded place and many spectators are watching their drama unfold. She felt so embarassed when she realized that she is lying under the bastard.
They were at a loss when they suddenly heard a chuckle in the background.
"Why is it that everytime I see you two, you always end up in a scuffle. Must be destiny huh?," rheumy eyes were looking at them merrily, his hands held out to them." C'mon now, stand up you two. Let's go to my shop to settle your differences, what do you say?", old Jim asked with laughter dancing in his eyes.
Realizing that the old man is giving them a way out of this embarrassing situation, the couple held their hand out and stood up not bothering to look around.
As they followed the old man to his shop, they did not see two pairs of eyes looking at them intensely. One was blazing with hatred and jealousy while another was a set of brooding and unfathomable eyes.The man turned around and walked in the opposite direction while the woman remained looking at them with undisguised malice.
