Ryan's assistant left my hand mid-air and ran so fast into the house. He didn't even look back. Meanwhile, Ryan did not say anything else.
In fact, the carriage didn't move an inch. There were no signs of movement from the carriage, and so it seemed that he was really not going to help me get onto the carriage. I mean, I was in my heels.
How could i climb onto the carriage with them?Never mind. I thought to myself, i would do it without asking him for help.
So I tried my best to manoeuvre around the carriage, but It was a struggle, and I couldn't get on. Then i decided to put in my bag first.
I placed it on the floor of the carriage. Then, I took off my shoes. i raise my little feet and place them on the carriage with my hand on each side for support.
It was better to have my shoes off than to struggle to get on to carriage, so I got on with my bare feet.
I climbed onto the carriage and immediately slumped on the nearest bench i could find, only to find that Ryan was sitting in that exact position, so you can imagine.
I actually jumped on top of him. I was sitting on his lap!my heart rate rose up and skyrocketed. I was so scared to move and so scared to breathe and did my best to listen to what he was doing.
But deciding to be brave, I decided to stand up and apologize profusely. However, as I was standing, Ryan suddenly pulled me back, and I fell onto his lap again.
"Wha-" I exclaimed, confused by his actions.
" Your hair is caught on my button." he said nonchalantly. He seemed so unbothered while I was internally screaming! What the heck? How could he keep a serious face in such a situation. I mean, although I'm almost his wife, we hadn't...
" Oh, sorry. Let me take it out." I said as I turned and twisted in attempt to free my hair from his buttoned shirt but I had no luck.
Ryan, brushed off some of my hair off my shoulder so that I could see more clearly. however the effect this action had on me was shocking. I felt goosebumps where he had just touched my skin.His touch was cold and electrifying.
" Can you see more clearly now?" he asked coldly. His words were like a cold shower over my head. I snapped out of it and said, " A little, just be patient." I exhaled sharply. Was he really unaffected by this?
Working fast on the button, I concentrated on it immensely that I did not hear the movement from outside.
" Sir, here's the case you ask- Oh, I'm sorry, sir, I'm sorry, I did not mean to disturb. I will leave the bag on the ground." The assistant was back?! And he had seen us? I looked up to Ryan in panic and saw nothing but calmness in his eyes as he responded to the assistant, "Okay."
