Jade took a step forward, caging her between the chair and him. Phoenix could feel his gaze on her face but she didn't want to open her eyes.
" Mhm'? I asked you question Phoenix." The way his ' mhm' sounded made her heart beat faster. She bit her lips as she had no answer to his question. Not giving up, Jade sat on top of the table as he swirled the chair around towards his direction. Phoenix was further sandwiched between him and the chair.
This made her scream as she opened her eyes feeling their closeness. Using this chance, Jade grabbed her chin as he stared into her eyes. His reflection was captured in those dark brown orbs. Phoenix was sure that she would die of rapid heartbeat if he didn't let her go. Closing her eyes was her last resort.
" Open your eyes and look at me Phoenix." In a stern voice like an order, Jade spoke tightening his grip in her chin.
"You are hurting me. Let go." She winced in pain at the same time opening her eyes.
Jade loosened his grip but didn't let go. Still eyeing her, he blinked as he moved a bit forward. The distance between them lessened, Phoenix blushed further. Any further she would surely bleed.
" You like me, don't you? In fact Phoenix you act more like someone in love."
Hearing his question and statement, she looked at him in terror. It appeared as if she saw a monster before her. She tightly sealed her lips as she didn't know how to respond to that. Pretending not have heard his question, she laughed nervously as she tried to contain her fear of being caught.
" I don't know what you are talking about so can you free me now. I need to use the bathroom."
Jade didn't want to believe that she had no feelings for him. Her actions screamed of her longing and desire for him. He would make her realise her true feelings which he knew she was already aware of. He wouldn't waste this chance to have her in his life.
He may have been broken once but that didn't mean he wouldn't mend the torn pieces. Not giving her any leeway to run away from reality, he opened his mouth as he took hold of her hand letting go of her chin. Bring it to his chest, he placed it on his left breast as he peered into her eyes.
" You know what I mean Phoenix. I know how you feel about me and your behaviour gave your desires away."
She struggled to free her hand. " I have no desires and how do I feel about you. I see you as a friend."
" But your body states the opposite. You like me and you know that too. You don't see me as a friend and you obviously don't want to be one." He pressed on with his words still holding her hand.
This made Phoenix freeze as she gawked at him. The skeleton has been let out of the closet. Yep, she felt something for him but was afraid of rejection. " Stop being shameless Jade."
Jade let out a muffled laughed. " Shameless? Am not being shameless Phoenix, am being truthful. Both to you and me."
She just kept quite with nothing to say.
This only made him say more. " Do you wanna know how I feel about you Phoenix?"
She held her breath as her heart missed a bit. She lowered her head further with made him upset. Why was she acting innocent when she was the one to jump on him first. Lifting her head by the chin, Jade stared into her eyes and asked her again. This time she nodded her head.
" Say it aloud." he commanded her still holding her gaze.
Left with no choice, she parted her lips as she said, " I want to know." before tightly zipping her lips."
In response Jade stood up from the table top, lifted her up from the chair and placed her on the table. Phoenix yelled as he parted her legs and stood between them. He still maintained his gaze on her as he rested his forehead against hers.
Inhaling deeply, Jade opened his mouth as he began saying, " I was once a lowly servant who had a wonderful master. As she was good to me and treated me with respect and care, I fell ill due to overindulgence trying to return her act of kindness. I contracted an illness but I ignored the signs as I thought it would all fade away. But reality proved to be harsh, I was wrong and I miscalculated and refused to receive treatment. I had and still have the same illness in my blood. I need the doctor's prescription, need treatment and find a cure and healing. You may think I don't make sense by saying all this Phoenix."
He shifted as he moved his lips closer to her ear. " What I want you to know is that I became your slave Phoenix and now I need you to rescue me from that. I need your prescription and treatment."
