"so, if I may ask, why were you searching for me?" she asked anxiously, though didn't express her anxiousness. If there was one thing she was good at, it was concealing her emotions.
'whoa!' Kol thought. He wasn't expecting her to ask that, at least not so soon. Or maybe he never really thought of why.
why was he searching for her? was it because he couldn't get her off his head? was it because he couldn't just stop thinking about her? was it because he always had those feelings he never wanted to cease anytime he thought about her? Or was it because he had finally gotten to realise that he was in love with her?
He was confused for a moment about whether to tell her all these yet or not.
"well, I just know I have been drawn to you since the first time I met you" he said with all seriousness and sincerity looking into her eyes. This time the eye contact extended for much longer and when it was broken she was left completely breathless.
Kol was already done with his lunch and so he watched her eat. She felt so hot and a bit shy knowing he was watching her eat that she blushed a bit unconsciously.
Kol really admired her because she looked so innocent and pure though strong. Anytime he looked at her, he saw himself. He saw in her a strong resilient spirit and he loved it. he's always loved a type of woman who could be strong, not giving anyone the chance to look down on her. He felt it deeply in his heart that they were compatible and so he didn't want to miss that chance to confess to her how he felt for anything in the world.
"I never knew you worked with McClain Entertainment," Kol said staring at her.
"yeah, it's just been a few months" Rebecca replied with a smile
"Thank you for honouring my invitation to lunch" Kol said shortly
"Thanks, it's also an honor to meet you. I've been..." Rebecca said pausing mid sentence
She was going to say I've been longing to meet you since the first time I met you. But she knew that would be pretty embarrassing on her part.
"I've been meaning to finally see the bosses of McClain Entertainment. It wasn't until recently, I saw Tiffany, and then...you" she said taking a bite of her food
Kol's lips curled up in a smile. He was very glad to finally get to spend time with her.
Not long also, she was done eating as well. he stood up from where he sat and went towards her. In front of her, he stretched his hand towards her and she took it then he made her stand in front of him.
'that wasn't difficult' Kol thought. She was so calm and he loved it.
Rebecca was surprised as she saw him get in front of her then he stretched his hand meaning for her to take it and so she did and surprisingly he made her stand to face him.
"I know this might seem very awkward, you might even see me as too forward. But I've been meaning to do this even before I crossed paths with you at the office." Kol said pausing for a moment. He was trying to interpret the reaction on her face, but she seemed so calm.
"You've made a mark in my heart that can never be erased. Trust me when I say this I have not been able to get you out of my head from the very first day I met you. I don't think I can stay without you for long, I might just go crazy" Kol said with a serious expression
Rebecca was so speechless. She didn't know how best to react. She was shocked as she wasn't expecting it to come this soon.
'is he going to ask her to be his? what was her response supposed to be when you finally asked? but she had just met him not long' she thought
She was surprised and her heart was beating wildly in her chest though didn't give it away much. She just listened to him keenly.
"please be mine. Yeah I know it might sound crazy... but please, be my business" Kol said with so much emotion in his eyes.
He was about to die from anxiety as he wasn't sure if she was going to refuse him or not.
'oh my God' Rebecca exclaimed in her mind. Her wish came true but who knew it was gonna be this soon? She wished the previous night that she was his business. But that depended on the answer she gave now.
She felt her insides churn in delight but she maintained composure.
"I don't know what to say" she found herself say subconsciously not looking into his eyes
"you don't have to say anything" Kol said pausing for a moment as he inched closer to her
"just let me" she heard him say.
He raised her chin and made her look up to meet his gaze. The proximity was really close and she could feel her body react in a way that she loved.
Kol leaned forward as his lips crashed on hers and hopefully, she didn't resist. One of his hand curled around her waist and the other hand was holding her neck in place.
'f***' Kol creamed in his mind. This was what he had always craved for.
Rebecca found her eyes closed, lost in the kiss. Kol kissed her so passionately as he as if his life depended on it. All the desires that he had bottled up for some time was expressed in that kiss and then after what seemed like forever, he broke the kiss.
He was still holding Rebecca who was breathing a little roughly. Her lips were red and moistened and he felt like devouring them but he maintained composure as he wouldn't let his emotions get the better of him.
Her cheeks blushed bright red as she could not hide her emotions, not this time around. She could not believe she had even responded to it subconsciously and she loved it. She had just kissed the Almighty Kol McClain!
"I'm sorry" she stuttered pulling away from him
"lunch is over, I should get going" she said grabbing her bag from the table
Kol knew she was doing all those to hide her embarrassment and his lips curled up in a smile. He loved the way she responded to his touch and he knew she felt it too.
"thanks for your time, for everything" she said shyly turning to leave when he grabbed her wrist gently and pulled her close to him.
"Bex..." he called her softly. She couldn't deny the fact that she loved the sound of that.
'How did he come up with that anyway?' she asked herself.
"you don't have to be shy with me. You're my business now remember?" he asked making her blush again. She pulled away from him almost immediately
"says who? I never said yes remember?" she said with a wink turning to leave immediately
