The irritating silence in the car as they headed home made Hazel regret agreeing on going out with him in the first place.
He just ignored her existence as if she didn't matter after trying to kiss her in the mall earlier.
She wished the ground would open up and swallow her when they encountered a traffic jam,an accident occurred which led to it.
Turning a blank eye to what he would say about what she wanted to do,she turned the radio on which lightened the boring atmosphere in the car.
She felt his glare on her but she didn't look his way acting nonchalantly as she enjoyed the music playing.
Hazel felt on cloud nine when her favourite music dropped in,singing along to it but her happiness didn't last long but the radio was suddenly switched off.
"Seriously?"She gave him an annoying look which clearly shows her dislike for his behaviour since today but as usual he didn't act as if he was being referred to.
Zaiden was such a killjoy.
Just because he was not in the mood to listen to music doesn't give him the right to deny others the right to play music.
"Your voice"Zaiden said pausing to look at his phone before looking at her to say finally"it's not corresponding to what it's being sang,stop spoiling someone's music with your crocodile voice"
"What?"Hazel exclaimed with mouth gaped wide open looking at Zaiden with disbelief.
He rarely talked to her.
Then for the first time in ages he decides to talk to her was to condemn her precious voice, comparing it to that of a crocodile.
Okay,she's fed up with him and his arrogant ass!
"Wow,I didn't know Mr chicken face had a wild tongue"Hazel tainted back laughing when she noticed he was affected by what she's just said.
Yes!
Two can play this game Zaiden.
"Chicken face?"Zaiden asked, dropping his phone for the first time which he used to distract himself from the hot female sitting beside him but she didn't seem on letting him be rather she just had his full attention.
Zaiden probably didn't hear her right.
His face made him have a lot of attention both in the entertainment industry who would do anything to have him collaborate with them.
In the country,he was and will always be the most handsome as the female population had said but he couldn't believe his fianceè.
She degraded his cool face to that of a chicken.
How daring of her.
He wanted to throw the next bomb of words at her but his ringing phone has his attention,saving her from him.
He rolled his eyes at her while she flicked her tongue at him laughing at him while he answered the call.
"Mom,yes she is"Zaoden said looking at Hazel to find her staring back at him."No! I'm being kind to her"
Hazel looked at him immediately and she heard that he was lying to his mom straight to her face,suddenly she smirked when she thought of an idea.
"Zaiden,I'm hungry ,take me out to eat"Hazel whimpered, acting as if she was crying while he looked at her with wide eyes.
"No mother,she ...okay fine!''He said, finally cutting the call to look at her,if eyes were guns she would have being a goner.
He held her by her wrist,he wasn't surprised at what she just did,making him look bad in front of his mother when she didn't actually tell him in the first place that she was hungry.
She was such a sly viven.
His sly vixen.
"Why did you do that?"He asked with raised eyebrows not that he was angry at her. Somehow he was amused at her childish act, making her look cute.
"Let me say.."Hazel said, releasing her seat belt to come closer to him while he held in his breath.
"I love to play games' 'She purred at him, smirking at him when she found him not moving at all.
She knew what effect she had on him.
But yet ,she chose to play with fire.
Ziaden was hard like a rock,trying not to act recklessly in this car because he knew she was going to freak out if he did.
He felt his body stiffen when she neared him,her alluring lavender scent knocking his nostrils that he felt his body hot and hard from just her seductive voice.
Hazel was playing with fire,she knew.
What she didn't get to understand was that she was the prey here and he was the predator.
I love to play games.
The words echoed in his head,he tried to stop hearing her seductive voice,as if she knew the sexual tension on the air she turned the air condition on.
He went to turn on the radio but his hands collided with hers,he felt sparks go up his whole body.
What's wrong with you Ziaden,stop being a horny freak.
Hazel instantly withdrew her hand when she felt the exact sparks with him.
She couldn't deny it any longer,she wanted him.
But she can't let him know.
It was too risky to do that.
Zaiden was out to destroy her,telling him she was interested in him was going to make the situation worse.
"Are you hungry?"Zaiden asked, suddenly surprising her.
Did he just ask her that?
Was he worried that she was hungry?
She was actually joking when she said that out loud to his mother's hearing,she only wanted to punish him but seeing as he was actually asking if she was hungry made her cringe at his cuteness.
Stop it Hazel!
Her inner voice shouted at her.
"No"Hazel heard herself say,she didn't actually want to turn his proposal down but she needed to go home. It was late already,he was messing with her thoughts.
She needed to think.
She needed a little time alone to gather her thoughts before she lost herself in front of him.
The car came to a halt in front of her neighbor,jerking her out of her thoughts as he looked at her,waiting for her to leave already.
'`The clothes?''Hazel suddenly asked when she gathered her properties to leave.
"Is it that you are too naive to figure out that you are actually getting engaged in two days time or that you are just trying to get my attention?"Zaiden asked angrily,that Hazel folded her fist by her side when she heard him.
He was back to himself.
He was back to his cold self again.
Was joking with him in the car real or was it just a facade to insult her any minute he gets.
She felt annoyed at the way he spoke to her,that she felt like slapping some senses into him.
What's the real him?
Although he has being tagged a gay by the while country by his inability to be seen with a lady and dated one but that story didn't seem convincing to her.
There was more to him than what the media said,something definitely had him behave like this towards her.
Was he a jerk towards all ladies or was it only just to her?
Or was it just his dislike for her because she was forced on him.
But he was acting all lovely towards her and couldn't seem to keep his hands off her since today so why did the mood change suddenly?
Is he bipolar?
The questions were endless but she waved them aside,collecting the bag and her purse to leave.
"Goodnight"Her voice barely came as a whisper but she was sure he heard it,he didn't actually care to say the same to her before driving away from her,again like he always does.
She clutched her bearing heart which was feeling heavy all of a sudden,she was hurt.
Zaiden hurt her!
