Chapter 18 - I Like You?

She was surprised when someone suddenly touched her on the shoulder so she walked away from the person behind her. When she turned around, it was Andrew.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" He asked.

He was confused and disappointed. He was thinking if he did something wrong that made her mad to act like that.

"N-Nothing. I was surprised." She answered.

"There's something bothering you. What is it? Tell me." He asked, impatiently.

She shook her head and averted her eyes. She couldn't look him straight into his eyes. But her gesture was only making him more annoyed.

He walked closer to her but she walked backwards. He was beginning to get mad at her.

"Nina, if you won't tell me what's wrong how could I help you? I'm your fiance now. Shouldn't we discuss everything especially if you are bothered by something? Or are you changing your mind again?"

She shook her head again and bit her nails. She wasn't sure if she should tell him. But she knows Andrew won't stop asking her.

"What is it?" He almost yelled.

"I-I don't know. I honestly don't know what's happening to me. Y-You're so kind to me and my family. I got confused. I suddenly felt nervous every time you touched me but not the type that I'm disgusted with. But when you touched me, my heart was pounding to the point that I couldn't breathe. I'm scared, Andrew." Her voice sounded like she was about to cry.

"What do you mean scared?" He asked.

He still couldn't understand all the things she said. She said she was confused and nervous when he touched her but she wasn't disgusted. It was also confusing him.

"I-I'm scared that I might like you if you continue to be kind to me." She whispered and she was blushing when she said that. 

"What? You're confused, nervous and scared because you might like me? That's the reason you're avoiding me?" He was frowning.

She bit her lips and wanted to cry. That's why she doesn't want to tell him. She felt like it was just a lame reason and he would definitely just laugh at her.

To her surprise, he rushed towards her, grabbed her by the waist and slammed his lips to hers. She was not able to resist anymore. She melted into his arms when he started kissing her.

She wrapped her arms to his neck and pushed his head towards her, responding to his kisses. She was panting when he finally released her lips.

"What's the problem of liking me? I was doing those things on purpose so you would like me." He confessed.

"You are? Why?" She asked, looking at him with her sparkling hazelnut eyes.

"I don't know. I just want to impress you." He said, scratching his head.

Then he took a deep breath and stared into her eyes.

"Nina, we started as enemies. I know your first impression about me was bad. But we're going to be husband and wife in the future, don't you think it's a good idea to start liking each other? I would be happy if you would like me. So don't be scared, you can like me all you want because I am starting to like you." He suddenly confessed.

Her eyes widened. Her heart was beating so fast. Did he just say he likes me? Then she smiled at him.

"You're happy?" He asked, smiling back at her.

She nodded and put her palm to her chest. She felt like her heart was going to burst from happiness. He just said he likes her, he didn't say love but she was happy about it.

He chuckled then pulled her into him again, embracing her tight.

"You're so silly. You make me nervous when you act like that. You are the only woman who could mess up my mind." He whispered while hugging her tight.

"You never had a serious relationship?"

"Never. But I had a lot of girlfriends."

"Like Jayden?" She asked.

"I am four years older than you guys so definitely I had more exes than Jayden. I admit I am a playboy. Before I was proud of it, but now, I suddenly regret playing around with women."

"Why? What happened?"

"You." He simply answered.

Her eyes widened, cheeks reddened. Why does he keep saying things like that to her? She would really like him if he wouldn't stop.

"C-Can you help me undress?" She shyly asked.

He wanted to ravage her right there and then. She really doesn't have any idea what she was doing to him. She just innocently asked him to help her take her clothes off without touching her. Did she really expect him to not do anything after that?

He was shaking his head when she turned around, putting her hair on the side so he could unzip her dress.

He brushed his fingers from his nape, slowly unzipping her dress. She bit her lips when he felt his thumb slightly touching his skin while he unzipped her. His body was so close to her and she could feel his warm breath in his shoulders.

"Why are you making me crazy?" He whispered.

She felt something was poking her from behind. She bit her lips and let out a soft moan when Andrew kissed her on the neck while wrapping his hands on her waist, pulling her closer to his. He smiled when he heard her moan again.

"Are you really okay if I like you?" She asked.

"Yes, that's fine. And will you please tell me what's in your mind from now on?" He whispered while kissing her on the neck.

"Can I tell you now?"

"Okay. How about we chat in the bathroom?"

She turned around to look at him then slowly took off her dress, letting it slide down to the floor.

He looked at her from head to toe while she continued to undress herself, removing her bra and underwear.
