Immediately that slap landed on her cheeks, everything around her was blur in some minutes. Her mind froze as she recalls the hot slap that she just receive. Tears in the eyes wanted to fall but she held them tightly as she convinces herself not to cry. She supported herself with the chair as she stands making sure that her body was facing Leigh without any fear. A smirk escaped from her lips, her deadly eyes watching her attentively sending a shiver inside Leigh's body. After so much warning and glaring that anyone could have read from her face, she walked out of their sight running outside even though it was raining. The cold and cruel rain dropped on body but she never felt any cold. With questions cycling her brain, she quietly sat down on a bench outside a certain shop clenching on her dress tightly. After sobbing silently, she had forgotten that it was late. Late that no one else was seen around her except her shadow. She hurriedly towards the road now feeling the cold that she has been trying so hard to hide. She wondered how she had walked on such a distance yet she thought that she was just around as the wind blows her hair.
As she hurriedly walked on the lonely streets, she halted then sat in the middle of the road not minding anything, she had already lost her way back home as her body freezes. Tears escaped from her eyes as she sat on the wety ground. She removed her phone then inserted her earphones listening to her favourites songs, dancing on the little rain that was still dropping. This is what she has been wanting all along and missing all along, feeling the joy of being alone.
On the other side, Benzyl had rushed out as soon as she left to search for her. But as he walk streets after streets, his mind was still wary. He dropped his guards of not looking for her again until he saw a familiar figure dancing in the middle of the road. He felt like running away thinking she's a ghost but his heart pushed him towards the person. He found his legs already staring at Alin who was busy enjoying herself in the rain. Without any fear from getting caught or catching cold. A whim of desire suddenly strucked him before he could look away and that's when he took more steps towards her. When out of the blue, Alin turned her body too only to collide with his making them to fall on the ground her. She came to reality when she realize that her cold lips were touching something soft and the goosebumps she had been hiding for long, got released. Her round eyes gazed directly into he's making the atmosphere around them to increase. The cold she has been feeling, she couldn't feel any except the sweet feeling that was tickling within her. As soon as darkness struck his eyes, he pushed her sideways not giving her a glance. A small disgusting sound escaped from her mouth and he couldn't help but to chuckle alittle.
' Don't keep doing that witch, or else one day you might not like what I'll do to you.' he warned his gaze staring at her. She was still on the ground.'
' I....l... didn't do anything old man. You're the one who pushed me.'
' Huh! Me? Push you! For fuck sake, you're the one who collided with me and made me fall. I thought that you....you won't....hmm....maybe you won't fall with me but again you did it, huh! Infact the worse you kissed me, like before.' he said with a smile on his face trying to recall everything.'
' I....did...l didn't...
' Then why are you stammering, mmh! Can't you say straight forward.' he cut moving then he squart near her. You like me right?
' Whaat! Are you insane?
' Stop showing me that look or l might get mad. First you brought me here in the rain and second you're trying to push me through the walls. Do you want me to punish...
' No, am sorry. I didn't mean to....to.....to make you angry, sorry boss.' she apologized her eyes locking on the ground.
' Huh! So you want me to forgive you, that easily? He questioned making her to lift her head not imagining that her eyes Will caught him staring at her, even more closer than she could have thought. He smile immediately when he saw how she had licked her lips unknowingly as she stares at his lips. Unknown to her, his thumb trailed over her cheeks slowly his head taking along to hers not breaking their eye contact. Her heart suddenly started thudding from the chest not unable to breath trying to wonder if he's really going to kiss her back. Her heart beat increased from as she closes her eyes avoiding his sweet gaze. What she had been especting from him suddenly vanished from her thoughts. She quickly opened her eyes only to find that she was in his arms. Well cuddled going home. Ashameless look appeared on her face as she hid herself inside his broad chest. She heard him smiling but she refused to look at him knowing that he'll still play with her mind again. After along walk along with silence, he suddenly spoke again still in his arms.
' Don't mind her, I'll deal with her later. If she troubles you again don't hesitate. I know that you're not weak that's why you didn't want to fight her.' he said then a long relief escaped from his chest as he look down at, her his piercing gaze scanning her cheek where the slap had landed. Even though she is dark, Leigh's fingers could still be trailed down.
' Hope it doesn't hurt, right.' he asked again as they approach at his mansion. He placed her down making her to lean at the gate wall still his eyes not leaving hers as he spoke. ' Sorry, l couldn't help.'
' Alin suddenly was surprised with his sudden change of his voice. Is he serious apologizing? Was he not cold when she had met her few months ago? Why the sudden change? Is he falling for her and she doesn't know? Those were her thoughts that run through her head. She couldn't believe that such a cold hearted man like him will be apologizing to a mere maid like her, the worse, to a black girl.
' Don't think too far. Am just being honest with you. And again would you please cook for me that pumpkin. I wanted to eat but those bunch of eaters had snatched away from me before l could taste.' he said his lips pouting which immediately left a smile from both their faces.'
' I thought that you didn't like it, anyway l hid some for you in your room. It's under the bed. I knew you'll like it.' she said smiling. Benzyl quickly peck her cheeks and before she could realize, he had already scoop her from the ground again as the gate opens. She tried to move from his arms but he couldn't let her, pushing her head hardly on his chest. ' Close your eyes then if you don't want to get embarrassed Infront of everyone. They won't notice anything unless you show them.' he whispered inside her ears as the guards opens for them. Immediately everyone turned their gaze towards the door, they all froze especially Leigh who stood in anger walking towards them.
