If you were a little ugly, I would have a date you
After one week.
"You are too handsome for my liking."
She commented as she held his chin with her slender fingers and moved it sideways and appeared to inspect it.
She scanned his chiselled and defined jawline, high cheekbones, pale and smooth skin.
He had mesmerising beautiful eyes that beckoned her to dive deeper and seek what's concealed behind those hazel eyes.
The handsome faced guy raised his eyes and gazed at the beautiful girl.
'Saying beautiful won't do any justice to her beauty as it was obvious that she is a beauty standard in herself. Everything about her conveyed her refinement and glamour.'
The hazel-eyed male concentrated on her eyes. It would be his first time confronting someone who was not throwing herself at him. She didn't try to take advantage of his unconscious self.
He could see his mirror reflection in her black transparent eyes. They looked tranquil.
While he admired her beauty, the girl leaned closer to him, "Hmm...maybe if you were a little ugly, I would date you but you are not. Such bad luck… "
He was flabbergasted at her response. He felt like he was talking with an alien who had just possessed a human body or transformed into a girl since every girl wanted a good looking and handsome guy whereas the girl mumbling gibberish wanted to have an ugly guy.
'She surely is the odd one out.' The guy shook his head.
His action might show disappointment however it was nowhere it instead, he was enjoying and felt relaxed with her company. He had never let a girl apart from his family ever come near him yet this particular girl had crossed the line and was touching him to her desire.
The amusement rushed within him. He didn't think he would encounter the same girl who had been on his mind for days.
"Hey!! You didn't give me your name." The girl poked and squeezed his cheeks.
"I am feeling envious of your cheeks!! Why are they so soft and squeezy?"
She pouted and then the man got into fits of laughter. He could feel the teardrops forming at the corner of his eyes.
The girl gazed at him with more intensity. She kept watching him as he was the only one left out there. She could not drift her eyes away from him. She was stunned when she observed him.
"Your laughing face is more handsome. Your smile is eye-blinding."
She whispered. The guy was so occupied with his laughter that he couldn't listen to her words. If he did then he would have always kept smiling before her.
"Angel….You are damn adorable," the guy pinched the girl's already flushed cheeks. She glared at him.
"I'M NOT A KID! DON'T CALL ME ADORABLE! I AM A HOT, SEXY, BEAUTIFUL AND ATTRACTIVE GIRL!!!"
She exclaimed with exasperation. The guy smirked at her outburst. He didn't comment any further and agreed with her as he didn't want a repeat of her previous actions.
"Yes, yes, yes, you are hot, beautiful, gorgeous, sexy and everything." He patted her head. She shrugged off his hand and he stifled his chuckle at her childish behaviour.
"Good that you agree with me. Otherwise, I would have kicked you down there." She pointed between his legs. The guy put one leg over the other after her statement.
'I can't serve myself on a silver platter now when she is intoxicated like this. I might lose my little brother since I know how strong my angel is, if that happens then how will we make our future babies.'
'Wait...what?' He stopped his over-excited brain.
"What am I thinking? I don't even know how to make her fall for me.."
The guy said since the girl was already extremely near to him. She heard his phrases.
"Ayyy! Mr Hotshot…Which girl is stupid enough to reject you? Tell me her name! Lemme meet her and teach her a lesson. She must be out of her senses. I'll put her back in her place." The girl proudly declared. Her eyes showed her determination and eagerness.
The guy lifted his left eyebrows and meaningfully glanced at the chattery girl.
"Ohh…. You want to meet and confront her?"
"Obviously! I want to meet and smack her too. How can she deny your proposal?"
"Why are you trusting me so much? What if I am an evil man and had wronged her?"
She ended up spitting out her drink.
"You and evil?"
"Won't you believe my words?" He countered back.
She leaned again and this time stared directly into his eyes, "Then it would be disappointing and heartbreaking for you to hear and accept the truth."
The man didn't cower back and moved closer to her. Their foreheads were only a millimetres away. Their breaths mingled. The temperature around them rose. Even with the loud music and noise, they could still distinguish each other's heartbeats.
"I am a strong-willed man. You can say whatever is on your mind without any alterations." The guy spoke and his breath fanned over the girl's face that she momentarily closed her eyes.
She unwrapped her eyes from the cover of her eyelashes and gawked at him.
"You can't be an evil man. Evil is a big word. Moreover, you could not be the bad guy. You might look like one with your intense and cold facial features. However, I could bet my life here and say that you are a soft-hearted man. You can't hurt an innocent. Your heart dies every time you have to see your loved ones enduring. You have many responsibilities on your shoulders and sometimes they weigh down on you. You feel an emptiness within yourself. You appear to be closed and reserved off yet your heart yearns for love and affection other than the familial ones. I can feel how stressed and tired you are and you are struggling to fight it off.
I can also detect how you are affected by me."
With each word coming out through her mouth, she kept moving little by little closer to him until their foreheads were sticking. Every emotion and sensation was being intensified by a billion times.
They kept plunging deeper and deeper in their eyes. Their small bickering had turned into something they never imagined.
She tilted her face to the right and this was the end. The guy collided his lips on her cold ones. He held her face with his warm hands. The girl didn't respond and it made the guy frown. He unfolded his eyes and noticed that the girl fell asleep after waking the forever sleeping beast inside him.
He felt like he had been trapped by her. He wished to punish her for arousing him. However, when he saw her adorable sleeping face, his anger evaporated and he began to trace her facial structure through his hawk eyes.
He took her in his arms in the bridal style and strolled to his room. He placed her down on the bed and took off her heels. After covering her with the blanket and rechecking the aircon temperature. He kneeled and gazed at the calmness garnishing her.
"Angel, how cruel of you? Firstly you seduced me and then you fell asleep the moment I kissed you." He took her hands in his own, pecking her knuckles and caressing her hands.
He couldn't decide whether he should be angry or not? Her innocent and baby-like sleeping face had charmed him to an extent where he was sure that he won't ever be angry with her.
"You know, you had coveted my whole existence, internally and externally. Your thoughts would not let me be at peace. Your melodic voice kept haunting me but in a good way. Wherever my eyes wandered, I only saw you, smiling brightly and your loved filled eyes staring back at me." He let out his feelings. He knew that the girl wouldn't hear anything nor would remember what happened between the two of them. And he needed that since he couldn't come in front of her in his real self as he didn't want to scare her off. Because his love story won't even get the chance to begin and his love seed won't bloom rather it would die.
He sighed, "I don't want to leave you nonetheless I have to leave you now if I want you to stay by my side forever."
He moved near to her forehead and kissed it. It was a long kiss. He had sealed his promise with that kiss.
The promise to love her like no other, the promise to never let her cry, the promise to be always by her side, the promise to hold her hand for eternity even death that can't separate him, the promise to shower her with love, care and affection, the promise to be her supporting pillar and the promise to never leave her behind alone.
These were the promises he had made to himself when he met her today. He deciphered that she was the only one for him just as much as he was.
"Goodnight my love, my angel, my Esther."
He pecked her lips for the last time. His heart thudded as his lips connected with hers however, he knew that he had already broken her rule since he was a greedy and selfish businessman. When it comes to her, she was his priority. Her wishes, desires mattered to him more than anything.
"I am sorry but I couldn't resist kissing you when I had tasted those sacred lips once." His lips curved upwards as he not so apologetically clarified his intentions behind the kiss.
If only Esther was awake she would have fainted due to his shamelessness.
He locked the door and leaned backwards on it.
'You are acting like a horny teenager who had just gotten a chance to shake hands with his crush.' He stared down at his little brother, who stood upright in its full glory and pride.
