RYAN'S POV:
" But, isn't that maintained my Vivaan?" She asked making him bite his tongue.
" My goodness!" He screeched and dragged her to the car.
After they got in, he rushed the driver to leave.
" What happened?" Mellina asked looking at the back, not receiving any answer she turned to see him grinning at her.
" Just simply!" He shrugged and that earned a smack from her.
She called Lorenzo to inform him about her departure.
" Tell me, he is your boyfriend right?"
" How does it bothers you?" She asked with a glare.
" Why are you being so tough? You just could have answered the question, it was just a simple question you could have answered with yes or no!" He said in a frustrated voice.
" I like to play tough!" She said with a simple shrug.
" Yeah, yeah!" He said looking into his phone.
" Now, why did you drag me with you?"
" Should I be honest with you?" He asked with seriousness.
" It would be good if you are, if not then it's your bad!" She shrugged.
" See! This is what! Why can't you be just easy?" He asked frustrated.
All his plan of fooling her flew away already.
" It's my character! What do you think I should do?" She was asked exaggeratedly.
" Can we discuss it when we get home?" He asked.
She nodded, the next few minutes softened in the air.
Mellina made her hair into a bun. She hates her hair as much as she loves it, sometimes it really can be annoying.
Mellina walked in front and stepped into the elevator waiting for him.
The whole time he was silent, that was unlike him.
Okay, just to her!
As they entered the penthouse, he directly walked into his room.
She was totally confused.
In search of him, she walked into his room and regretted the next second she saw his state.
" I am sorry!" She turned to leave but tripped her heels and was about to fell down.
He caught her, he made her stand against the wall.
As she saw his state, her words betrayed her.
There was some emotion.
It was not lust or attraction or anything but a strange emotion that caught her off guard.
Her stare at him lit a fire-making him unable to tear his gaze away from her. He felt his chest thudding against his ribcage. He could hear his heartbeat.
Ryan doesn't know why he was feeling all these feelings with this ordinary woman. She wasn't clear that beautiful as those models and movie stars he met. She wasn't that loving or noble or beautiful when compared with others.
But there was something that was pulling him towards her. He answered all his questions himself by saying that she was arrogant and fiery when compared to another woman. She is an ordinary common woman! And a woman, who ignored you! His inside mocked.
But her smooth milky skin, her exquisite features, her supple skin, and her curves. And damn! Her dress for today was just enough for him to go crazy. He noticed her exposed neck and felt like leaving some marks. But he controlled himself. He took two steps forward closing the distance between them making her look smaller.
Compared to other women, she could be said as taller. But now in front of him, she looked small. He traced his finger on her long neck making her shudder under his touch. Mel chewed her lower lip not knowing the effect her actions caused on him.
Ryan, who was watching her every action felt a pool of heat burn in his stomach when he saw her chewing her lip. For a second, he wanted to chew her strawberry-like lips with his. He wondered how they may feel on his lips. He forcefully peeled his gaze from her red lips and pulled the bun making her hair fall freely. He bent down a little making his fan breathe her face while touching her nose with his.
Mel, couldn't do anything. She prepared a long list of scoldings and curses for him when he stopped from going home but she felt a lump formed in her throat when his fiery gaze burned her. She wanted to withdraw her gaze.
But she saw something in his eyes. His eyes were filled with sadness and loneliness that he hid under the cover of his cold and aloof attitude. For a second she wanted to hug him and assuring him saying that she was there for him. But she felt frozen in her spot, her legs weren't moving.
She was lost in his eyes. His eyes held the depths of the hollow space. In fact, they looked like the fresh soil after the first rain showing that he has a pure soul making her feel enchanted at his sight.
But it was not true, he is not fresh, he is not pure, he is a bastard! Her mind screamed.
She didn't notice when he came closer to her, but when she felt his finger tracing her she shuddered, Her heart was beating loudly against her ribcage. She wondered if he could hear her heartbeat because she could hear it loud enough.
What's happening with me? I shouldn't be doing this! She thought.
But all her thoughts when she saw his eyes.
What's that? I couldn't figure it out!
As he loosened the bun, it fell on her shoulders. But it was not what he expected it to be, her wavy hair was straightened.
He fisted her hair, he loved it.
He sniffed it, it smelled chocolate.
He dipped his head in her neck. He could feel her stiffen.
" What are you doing to me? Why? I hate you..." He was interrupted by a yell.
" What the f*ck are you two doing?!" Both snapped their heads towards the voice.
It was his mother. Mrs. Felicia Parker!
" Mother?!" Panic rose in him, he was afraid of what she will do to Mellina.
" Move the f*ck away from my son!" She yelled, she looked all red.
That's when they noticed their position.
His one hand fisted her hair and the other one around her waist, she rested both her palms on his bare chest.
" Mother, it's not what you think!"
