I'm so stupid. I got an innocent man punched in the face and almost killed. The rage that I saw in X was beyond frightening.
The girls and I just got back to the suite and I can't stop pacing around.
"Wow that was really something," Alina says shaking her head.
"What were you thinking Millie?! All of this? This was all to piss off X?" Steph says moving her hands up and down from my head to toe in disappointment.
"Not exactly…" I say embarrassed.
"I'm sorry you guys, I really am, I didn't know he'd flip out like that." I continue.
"See Millie, that's the thing, you didn't know, because you don't know him, you don't know what he's capable of and honestly that was nothing. We all tried to warn you of this." Steph says angrily.
Alina and Mia are just looking at their feet because they're obviously feeling awkward right now.
I cover my eyes with my hands feeling humiliated by my actions knowing exactly what I was doing when I kissed that random guy. I wanted to make X jealous and put Adria in her place but it got dark fast.
Steph sighs pacing around too, after a minute she has calmed down. She walks over to me and puts her hands on my arms.
"Look, Millie, I love you, I love you so much you know that right?" I nod my head and she continues.
"For your own safety, I need you to leave. I will pay for a hotel, I have money saved but I need you to go. I got an email a couple of hours ago that I need to book flights for X and Julian to go to Madrid tomorrow. When they leave, we need to get you out of here without X knowing and I'll handle the rest."
I couldn't agree with her more, and all I do is nod. I look over to Mia and Alina who are looking sad now.
"I have somewhere I can stay don't worry about the hotel," I say to Steph.
I'm about to tell her about Chase's offer when the front door opens.
It's X.
He looks crazy right now and all of us girls freeze.
"All of you out, now!" he demands.
We all start walking out of the door in silence and when I walk past him he grabs my arm and says,
"Not you."
Fuck.
This is it for me, this is how I'm going to spend the last minutes of my life. Steph looks at me very frightened not knowing what's about to happen.
"Go, Stephanie," he says through clenched teeth, "now!" and she leaves.
It's just X and I in the suite now. I don't move an inch and he's pacing around running his fingers through his hair.
"What the fuck was that?" he demands.
I'm too afraid to say a word right now and he could tell.
"I almost just killed one of my guys because of you!" he yells again.
Oh shit, that random guy was one of his guys?
I really fucked up and I know I'm going to be paying the price for it right now.
"I'm sorry" I whisper keeping my head down.
"You're sorry?!" he says angrily.
He unzips his hoodie, pulls it off, and throws it my way, it lands in the corner of the wall where I'm standing.
I flinch at his demeanor.
"You're fucking distracting me, put it on!" he yells.
I bend down and do as he says retrieving it and he says "fuck" and turns away from me.
Once I have his hoodie on, which smells like him and is overtaking my senses right now in the best way, he comes walking over to me cornering me.
He grabs the zipper at the bottom and zips it up past my revealing chest.
His green eyes sear into mine and ask "Were you hurt tonight?"
I wasn't expecting that question at all, I thought he was here to actually hurt me.
I shake my head no.
He's starting to calm down now and I look down at his hand that have blood on the knuckles.
"Why'd you do it" he asks in a calm tone.
"I don't know," I say quietly keeping my head down.
"Baby, look at me," he says and I'm shocked as hell that he just called me baby.
My heart is racing and my stomach has butterflies. I slowly reach my eyes to his and wait for him to speak again.
He grabs my hand in his and the heat from his touch alone is setting me on fire.
"Tell me why you did it," he says and kisses my hand.
How is he expecting me to respond? I can barely breathe right now let alone give him an explanation. Five minutes ago, I thought he was here to kill me and now he's kissing my hand? I go to look down but he takes his other hand and lifts my chin to keep eye contact.
"I wanted to get back at you. And then I saw Adria on you and it sparked something in me and I just kissed the first man I saw." I say slowly.
He nods his head and puts his forehead to mine, he takes both of his hands and holds each side of my neck, and places his fingers behind my ears.
"Well, you succeeded" he whispers.
I don't know why but I'm now feeling guilty for hurting him.
He pulls his head away from mine and stares into my eyes for a second and then moves his eyes to my lips and brings his own lips to mine in the most passionate way.
He slips his tongue into my mouth and entangles it with mine. I'm absolutely mind-blown right now, I've never been kissed like this before and my heart is beating even faster than it was a minute ago, I feel like it's going to beat right out of my chest.
He pulls away from me "Sorry, I couldn't help myself," he whispers.
The absence of his lips is overwhelming. I grab him by the back of his neck with both hands and pull him back into me.
