Bang!
Asher exasperatedly closed the car door with a bang which startled Roxana, she fastened her seatbelt and peer at Asher, who sat on the driver seat. Today, he's wearing a black bomber jackets, a dark olive green t-shirt and a casual black trousers, with a black shades and baseball cap which covered half of his face, therefore she couldn't see his expression, however she knew he's upset after Rian provocation, which make her perturbed by his capricious behaviour.
He slowly accelerate the car out of the parking area, without looking at her, however he know she's peering at him and asked coldly while driving, "What?"
"You're not wearing your seatbelts?" she asked him.
Roxana suddenly recall that he didn't wear his seatbelts the last time they drive, back then she was too jittery being with him that she didn't even noticed.
"I don't like wearing seatbelts," he spoke in an uptight tone and started to accelerate the car rapidly which frightened her.
"We might get into an accident if you're driving so fast, and that too without wearing your seatbelt!" she exclaimed.
He want to freaking shout at her but he suppressed his irritation as it was not her fault but his own. He slowed down the car, glance at her, while his hand on the steering wheel tightened, "I'm sorry...I usually drove like this," he pause, "And my mood is a bit off right now," he tried to speak in a gentle voice but it sound a bit cold.
"It's ok, I know you're upset because of Rian."
"But why did he say you tempted me?" she queried him.
Since, their confrontation with Rian, he's feeling very vexed. In fact, Rian was right when he said that he tempted and kill human to drink their blood, especially females as they were easy, nevertheless that was in the past before he met the Shyne, after being with The Shyne he learned to control his thirst for blood, however his past has always been a touchy things to him, especially after he met Roxana, it became even more oversensitive, which he never ever want Roxana to discover.
Roxana and him are completely worlds apart, she's pure, innocence and ignorance of everything around her, while he, on the other hand, is a monster, a deceitful and egotistical person, yet he can't kill or hurt her nor stay away from her, neither does he want her to discover his facade.
Meanwhile, Roxana saw him being silenced looking straight at the road, without responding to her, she asked softly, "Can't I know about it? or you don't want to tell me. "
"It's just a boys things, don't worry," he said casually.
"If it's just a boys things, Rian would never react like that," retorted Roxana.
"Don't I deserve to know the truth as the person being involved, Asher, tell me the truth, or else Let's break up," she declared.
Asher sighed and softly said, "You're quite a stubborn girl. Aren't you?"
"Yes I am," she snapped.
"I'll tell you everything's when I'm ready."
"Is that all right?" he said softly and glanced at her.
Roxana scowl at him defiantly and complained,"Fine, but Asher if you really love me, you should be honest with me. I don't want this things to be a problem in our relationship."
Asher sneered at her, "Can you really accept me for who I am?"
" If you know the truth," he added.
"Why not? I already told you I don't care who you are, I just want you to be honest with me," she responded confidently.
He just glanced at her expressionless and continued to drive.
They were both silence for a while until Roxana phone rang. She quickly pick up the call when she saw the caller.
"Rian, are you ok?" she asked anxiously.
"I'm fine, give him your phone" Rian asked her.
She was about to say something when Asher suddenly took out the phone from her hand. He didn't say anything after he took her phone, thus she didn't know what's Rian saying on the other end, he returned the phone to her after 15 seconds without saying even one words to Rian.
