Chereads / Not your Sweetheart / Chapter 4 - chapter 3 (Mia Pov)

Chapter 4 - chapter 3 (Mia Pov)

I was trying to hold back myself so hard when Zack touched and brushed his hands at my face to the point I almost forgot how to breathe. It felt as if I was in heaven, his touch, his breath against mine and I found myself craving for more. Just about when he reached my jawline I got a sudden phone call from Branica. Ahhhh...Seriously out of all times now,Branica are you serious! As Zack heard my phone he retreated back to his office, leaving my heart alone out once again.

"Branica dear, yes what do you need?"

I could feel her hesitant as she tried to answer 

"Is everything all right Branica ? "

"Will you promise me that you will not be angry at me after I tell you this."she says as her voice quivered little by little.

I promised I said, wondering what made her quivered 

"So the photo I sent you,  there were two guys in it.The front person of the picture is Zack Miller the boss of the Miller Company.The one behind Zack is Henry.So what I am trying to say is that Zack isn't my ex, Henry was my ex, you confronted the wrong guy." She said 

… … …

"WHATTTTTT!" I let out a silence scream as she revealed.

"Wait, why didn't you tell me that sooner!" I asked, now realizing that I caused myself some big troubles. And with Zake Miller the company boss.

Branica went and said, " well you didn't ask and when you called me, u mentioned Zake name instead of Henry name so I figured out that you got the wrong guy so I tried to tell you. But then you…you hung up on me."

I hung up the call once again, but this time it was different. I knocked some sense to myself and peeked at Zake trying to figure a way to tell him about this misunderstanding. I was wondering why he didn't deny having an affair with Branica and told me a lie.Why ?

I was so troubled by this but yet relieved at the same time.Why? Did I really fall for Zack? No way, I thought to myself, he flirts and has many women begging all over him, I don't want to be his next plaything and get thrown after he got bored playing. I snapped out of my messy thoughts and looked at the clock. It was perfect, it was time to get off work. I snuck out of the office quietly hoping that Zack would not catch me in the act or it would be embarrassing. I looked back every second to make sure no one noticed me.

 As I reached the car park, I  stumbled across a cat sitting in my car. I pat its head hoping it could calm myself down slightly. I got inside my car wondering about the range of events that had happened to me. I looked around trying to spot if anyone was around. Luckily there wasn't.

 I let out a loud shout "Shit,shit,shit, FU Branica…!"

Phew, that was all I needed to get a hold of myself. I continue to lay down. As everyone slowly left I finally came to my senses and decided to drive home.

Just when I was about to drive, 

"CLANK...…"

… …

My car broke down, oh my goddess are you kidding me out of all times!Seriously!I tried to start it up again…..

Shit !

Shit!

Shit!

Is this Karma for messing with the wrong person? I wondered to myself.

I got out of the car but just as soon as I got out, the cat suddenly ran in front of me, causing me to lose my balance.Next thing….

"THUD…"

I fell straight on the floor luckily I was quick enough to react facing my hands downwards supporting myself. I couldn't care less at the time as I decided to lay down on the floor admiring the ceiling even though it isn't that much of a scenery. 

Just while I was lying down peacefully.A laughter suddenly came out from a distance away.

"Are you serious, whoever you are reveal yourself, and it ain't funny to be laughing if you see a person falling." I said

"Are you having fun laying down on the car park floor, sweetheart?" He said while emerging from a shadow.

… 

Zack walks closer to me with his hands in his pocket, as he stops and looks down at me and smirks while I  get a strange clear view of his ass

"Why are you still here?"I asked, I toughen up but emotionally I'm almost crying.

Zack laughs and shrugs casually

"Fate, destiny, luck, take your pick. Whatever the reason, I'm here now, and you're stuck with me." He said as he crouched down in front of me, his eyes amused as he looked as I sprawled out on the floor. He continued, "And I couldn't just leave a damsel in distress out here all alone, could I? That wouldn't be very gentlemanly of me."

I went on and questioned trying to hide my embarrassment," When did you get here."

Zack grins, as he answered "Oh, I was here the whole time. I just didn't want to interrupt your little display of frustration.Now why don't we get you off the floor before you get dirt all over your cute little outfit." as he reached out a hand to help me up.

"You don't happen to own this car park right,so just let me lie down for a while would you." I covered my face in embarrassment not trying to hide it anymore since he saw all of it.

He laughs and shakes his head " No, I don't own this car park. And stop being stubborn, you shouldn't be content on lying on the floor like that.You'll ruin your clothes."He said amused by my question.

His laughter had me blushing, sending in a wave of heat to my body. How could he be so perfect, I couldn't stop thinking about his laughter. For some reason it sounds so addictive.

Before I could react he reached down again but this time wrapping an arm around my waist as he pulled me up before I could protest.

"You can lower me down now." I said while acting my most normal self.

He laughed again making my heart beat extra faster once again, he held me tighter this time around my waist refusing to put me down. "Maybe I like having you closer. Besides, I don't see you protesting…much."He grins as he looks at my annoyed face.

I couldn't withstand his touch much longer, if he continues on I am afraid that I would do something. Starting off by kissing his lips and down.

"Alright, I'm sorry for my actions earlier this morning all right! I mistook you for my friend's ex and I am sorry about it, and would you let me down now." I said, trying to sound annoyed looking at him.

He tilts his head, still holding me close to his chest and maintaining a causal demeanor.

"Apology accepted, And as much as I'd love to keep holding you like this, I suppose I can put you down, if you ask nicely."He grins, enjoying the situation far too much for my liking.

"Didn't I ask nicely just now?" I puzzled

He chuckles again, his addictive side showing me a sly smile. "Oh, sweetheart, your idea of 'nice' doesn't quite match mine. You're feisty and feisty is fun, but it won't get you anywhere."

He grips my waist tighter,bringing me a little closer

"Ask nicely, and then maybe I'll think about letting you go,"He said .

… I paused for a moment hesitating if I should.

He continues to grin at my silence waiting for a respond.He shakes his head,... 

"Come on, princess. Just ask nicely.It's not that difficult, is it? Or do you secretly like being this close to me?"He grinned looking for an answer in my face.

I was shaken by his words, he didn't know how his comment had infected me badly, sending all the heat towards my face , "Please put me down" I said in a nice manner that he wanted.

He grins, clearly pleased by my polite request

"Finally, a little bit of civility.That wasn't so hard, was it ?" He slowly lowered me to the ground, his hands lingering on my waist for a moment longer than necessary.

I walked off trying to find a cab to get me home.

"Oh, come on. Don't go. Wait. You think I'm just going to let you go like that? Leaving me behind, all alone, all sad and heartbroken?" he dramatically presses a hand against his chest, feigning heartbreak,while a smirk still shows on his face.

… I was speechless at how far this guy went.

"Oh, come on. Don't give me that look. I'm just trying to have a little fun here." He pushes himself off the car and steps closer to me, his smirk growing wider.

I didn't know how the hell I almost fell in love with a guy like him. His personality is absolutely trash. I ignored his yapping and moved on calling a cab, shoving him aside.

He steps back, feigning offense, as I shoved him aside.

"Oh, wow. So rude. Shoving me aside like that. You really know how to break a guy's heart, you know that?" he shakes his head in disbelief his charm did not affect me.

I replied coldly, not interested much in his conversation, " Don't know, don't care."

"Oh, you're good, you know that. You might look all sweet and innocent, but I can see right through this act. You enjoy teasing me just as much as I enjoy annoying you." he laughs.

No matter what I did, I couldn't get myself a cab…

"Did you do something to my cab?" I pondered staring at him.

He laughs," What makes you think I'd do something like that? Me? Prevent you from getting a cab? Pfft,who do you think I am, some evil mastermind?"He feigns innocence, although the smirk on his face suggests otherwise.

"Alright, what if I did? What would you do about it? Throw another one of your little temper tantrums? Or would you finally ask nicely for me to fix the situation?"he admitted with a smirk on his annoying face.

I'll walk home.

"Walk for sure but that is quite a long distance, you know. And in those cute little high heels you're wearing, I'll doubt your feet will appreciate the journey."shaking his head as he says.

I took out my high heels and went shorter by 5cm, just to prove him wrong.

He laughs, "Seriously? But feisty like how I like my woman"

I could seriously swear everytime that anyone who heard his laughter would immediately kneel down and beg to offer their entire soul for him. I wish I could shut his mouth so no one except me could hear his laughter.
