Chereads / Landon Chambers / Chapter 17 - CHAPTER 17

Chapter 17 - CHAPTER 17

SIYA RAINS-

I hate Landon! I've never seen a guy be so indecisive about what he wants. After our little freak show in my old childhood bedroom and then downstairs during the dinner when he kept eying me like a piece of meat. He had the nerve to drop me at my place, give me a kiss on my cheek and just leave!

That bastard! I was so mad at him.

The one time I planned on not resisting his dark charm, he pulls out this stunt. He called me a few times and we talked about the case and our day but that's it. No dirty remarks. Nothing! It was annoying. Landon wasn't being himself. I hate it when he does this.

I was sexually and emotionally frustrated. I couldn't concentrate on anything and it's not like I can date anyone else either because it wouldn't be fair. I would keep thinking about Landon. I don't understand, what does he want me to do? Beg? Ha-ha.

I never beg. Even if my nose is blocked, I breathe from my mouth.

As I kept muttering to myself out of frustration and annoyance, my bell rang. I looked at the clock and it was 2 pm. On a Saturday. Who could that possibly be? If it's Landon, I am going to slam the door in his face. I am angry and I don't care anymore.

I open the door, ready to slam it shut but my eyes meet a beautiful old woman with a radiant smile. I awkwardly smile back as she just enters my house without permission like Landon does.

"I am Landon's Grandma. You can call me Mary."

Okay, that makes sense.

She spoke in a sweet manner but she had a powerful tone making me nod my head immediately in agreement. I motioned her to sit and asked if I could get her anything to drink but she just shakes her head.

I quickly close the door and sit in front of her. I felt like a student who has been called in the principal's office, "So what's going on with you and my grandson? I've heard quite a few things about you from Tori and Beth. Good things."

"Um thank you, but I don't honestly know what's going on." I stutter as I tell her frankly. It wasn't my fault, Landon was at fault but I can't tell her that.

"Come on sweetheart, tell me what's going on in your mind. It looks like you have a lot on it right now. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." She says as she gets up from her seat and sits right next to me.

I knew what she was doing, she was manipulating me into telling her stuff and sadly it was working, "Everything was going well, but then Landon just goes cold. Every time we get a little close, he just backs off. I didn't want to date him because I didn't want to be with a guy with whom I may not have a future. Still against my better judgement I gave in. Now I don't know what to do."

"Siya, my grandson had been through a lot." She says and I just nod, making her eyes go wide just for a second, "And he told you about what happened to him?" She asked and I just nodded.

"He likes you and could possibly be falling in love with you right now. And you know how a human mind works, he doesn't want to drag you into his mess. But believe me, he is not a mess, he is one of the best men I know because I've raised him. So please don't give up on him ever. I never interfered with any of Landon's girlfriends but I know you two are meant to be." She says and I could see it was an emotional topic for her but she didn't cry.

She just looked at me with a slight desperation making me feel bad for being angry at Landon. I did not consider this as the reason for which he was giving me the cold shoulder. I should have been more understanding.

"You are right Mary, I won't give up on him. That's the last thing he needs in his life. It's sweet that you came down here to look out for your grandson." I say as I smile a little. Landon has a great family support, including his brothers and his sisters-in-law, I just love this entire dynamic.

"Of course I had too, they are all grown up but for me they are still my babies and I will continue looking out for each one of them. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to meet up with an old companion of mine who worked with me as a detective." She says as she gets up making my eyes widen.

"You were a detective?" I ask as I look at her with surprise and she nods her head before kissing me lightly on my forehead.

"Yes dear, that's how I met my husband. It's actually a funny story, I will definitely tell you what happened." She says as she steps out.

"I look forward to hearing it." I smile at her.

"Also can you not tell Landon that I came here, these kids think they know what to do and that they can handle stuff on their own, so they get mad at me when I interfere? But I think you will understand how hard it is to keep track of their life when they refuse to tell you anything they feel. Imagine I have three such idiots to handle." She says as she shakes her head, pitying herself making me laugh.

"I won't tell him, I promise."

Now I have to go to Landon's house to confront him.

Landon's house

As I walked up to his front porch, I could help but smile, the security let me in without calling Landon because he has probably put me on the list. I ring the door and a shirtless Landon opens the door.

Holy fuck.

Why god why?

I look down at his chiseled abs and the scar which for some reason makes him so much more attractive. I look up to see him as he took in my reaction to his bare chest. Bastard! Why was he shirtless? What if he is hooking up with a woman? I can't take this.

"Why aren't you wearing a shirt?" I ask him as I gulp and enter the house when he motions me to.

"I was doing some pushups, I prefer doing them without a shirt." I felt an urge to squeeze my legs hard as soon as I heard him say that. I don't know why but I have a thing for pushups. The arms, the biceps and the muscular back are all flexed and in view, it just drives me nuts, "What are you doing here?"

"I came here to confront you on the fact that you are ignoring me. Yet again." I say in anger and look him in his eyes so that I won't get distracted with his glorious body but they were dark with lust and want. Oh god! Where am I supposed to look when I just want to have a decent conversation with him and not think about the way he mounted me and ploughed into me like a beast?

"Ignore you? I call you every day. We talk about the case and the things that are going on in our lives. How is that ignoring you?" He asks with a smug smile making me want to rip my hair out with frustration.

That sly son of a bitch. He wants me to say it. I hate him so damn much.

"You know exactly what I mean Landon." I huff as the smugness doesn't leave his face. Why does he look so much hotter when he is conceited?

"I actually have no idea Siya. Maybe you should be more specific." He says as bends down to my height so our eyes would meet. My breathing alters as I realize he can probably hear my heart thumping against my ribcage. I didn't know what to say.

"Fine, I'll say it, I am not ashamed." I say confidently, he raises his eyebrows at how strong my voice sounded, "You haven't umm -touched me." I curse as soon as I say it. My voice faltered at 'touch' making Landon smile like he just won.

Arrogant Jerk.

"You want me to touch you?" He asks in his deep masculine voice making my legs quiver as I remember his groans when he buried his head in my neck and pounded into me.

Siya, please, for the love of god, get your mind out of the gutter.

"Oh sweetheart, if you want me to fuck you, just ask me. I am not going to be the one making the move always." My chest rose and fell as he said 'fuck'. Not today. I can't ask him today.

I push him away slightly to leave when he holds my wrist, "In all seriousness, I need to talk to you about something." He says as he leads me towards the living room couch while putting on a t-shirt.

"I need you in my life, I don't care how it is. As a friend at least. When we started out, you were right, we should have been friends but I started making a move on you. Right now, I know that I need you in my life. I am unbelievably attracted to you but I don't if I can have a healthy romantic relationship." As he says the words my eyes widen and I feel a surge of anger in me.

"How dare you? You are friend zoning me? I am going to kill you." I say with anger as I start punching his arms and chest but it barely seems to affect him.

"No offence, but it feels like a baby is punching me." I look at him as he laughs at me making me punch him harder but that just makes him laugh harder.

"Siya, I really like you and I really don't want you to leave me ever. I know what I sound like, but it is what it is. So if being your friend is what keeps you in my life so be it. I know for a fact that if we start dating, I am going to screw it up and you will end up not wanting to be around me." He says but his words go over my head, I was mad at him for teasing me so damn much.

"No, I reject your offer, just the way you did when we started out." I say as have a sudden surge of confidence making me straddle him as I remove my top.

"Siya!" He says with shock evident on his handsome face as he holds on to my hands when I try to touch his chest. I try to move my hands but he held my upper body in place. I look at him as his eyes can't help but go down to my breasts.

I smile slightly at him before I starting grinding my hips against his making him groan at the unexpected movement. His grip on my hands fell limp, letting me take off his t-shirt. I grounded my mound right on his hard member as I felt electricity run down my spine. His hands found a way to my hips but he didn't stop my movement, he just looked me dead in the eye, scaring me but also turning me on.

"It's been too long, I need you now!"
