"What girlfriend?"
The nerve of the man to ask that when he knew exactly who I was talking about. Or maybe he had too many women and never took any one of them serious. Nyssa's words added to my theory, when she asked Alaric earlier if I was his new plaything. So definitely, Alaric was not a one-woman person.
"I get it now. There are numerous of them," I murmured unconsciously, feeling stupid for bearing such pure emotions for that kind of person. Even the word pure could be used in the same sentence as my name, I did respect that emotion, love or whatever it was.
"What stupid thing is your little brain calculating now?" He held my chin and made me look at him. I had almost forgotten that I was still on his lap and now, I was starting to feel uncomfortable. I did not want to be his plaything, not at all because my heart wanted more.
"Am not one of them. You can find someone else." I had to make it clear with him soonest.
