Chapter 23 - CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

I turned to my left and it was Justin sitting next to me in the bar place. The only thing that separated us from meeting the bar man was the black tiled counter. Different kinds of alcoholic beverages were surrounding the bar man. The bar place wasn't quite big since it wasn't the original place. There was definitely going to be more than one bar place in the hotel, for some reason he brought me here.

We were seating on the black leathered stool which could move 360 degree. The place was dark and few people stayed here in different section, minding their own business. Music was playing, mostly hip-hop songs.

I didn't know why he had called me here but cared less. We hadn't ordered anything but sat next to each other and the bar man probably waiting for an order.

I cleared my throat and I finally twisted my sit to face him, "why did you randomly bring me here?" I furrowed my dark brows.

"Isn't this what you want." He replied with a flat voice and his expression was as cold as ever.

I raised my brows and twisted my seat back. He was definitely right, I had had dreamt of this for months. Seeing him this close just seemed weird.

There was silence until he broke it, "I actually called you for something."

I looked at him with surprise, "really?" I felt excitement radiating in my body.

"A bottle of wine and two glass." He finally ordered something, looking at the bar man with a cool facial expression, which was probably his cold look.

The bar man nodded and he placed a bottle of wine in the middle of two glass.

He poured the drink into the cup slowly, he poured it to reach quarter for both cups. He slowly dropped the bottle with care.

"What do want to say?" I picked the glass in front of me, with my expression reading curiousity.

He smiled but it felt like a smirk. He picked his glass, clinged it to mine and gulped small quantity into his mouth. I couldn't lie, he looked really cool. He dropped the glass on the counter and his head turned to mine with uniformity. I couldn't even guess his expression, I was just waiting patiently for his reply.

"You know the last time you were in my room," his eyes were fixed to mine and he didn't even blink. "I was about to lose control, I was having bad thoughts."

He said those words plainly like he was some kind of Ai robot. He didn't even realize when he made my heart flutter and it started racing incredibly fast.

I looked at him and my gaze went to his lips. Should I just have kissed him when I got the chance? Should I have losed my self to him? Those words kept flowing in my brain like rivers of water. I shook my head, trying to ignore the thought. I removed my gaze from him, picked the glass of wine with a shaky hand and gulped a large quantity.

I could view from my side view that his gaze was locked at mine. He swinged his chair to mine, making my heart to race even more. I was wondering what the bar man was thinking.

I didn't bother turning because I knew my lips were going to make contact with his.

"You might just find this cringy, but," he kind of whispered but felt like flies in my ear. "Remembered when I said I am a really bad boy."

My eyes trembled and I finally turned to face him. Our faces were few inches apart and my heart was still in the same position. It was different than the last, his face was turned to the right and he bent to reach my lips level.

I had the opportunity again but still didn't want to do it. He wore a serious face with his brows furrowed and his eyes were wandering left and right at my lips.

I gulped and I was also wondering my eyes at his.

"I tend to lose it with you. I don't want to pull you any closer to me. Run while you've got the chance." Those words made the atmosphere hotter and I felt my body almost entrapped in his. I could feel his breath against mine.

"I'm living, see you at the swimming competition." I mumbled and was barely heard. I shly stood and left the bar place quietly.

SUSAN

I looked around me and the frown on my face could drain the swimming pool water. I was wondering why he had brought me to the swimming pool were we first met. He was meant to speak to me but he left and he said he was coming.

I sat on the same chair I sat before. I was feeling all nostalgia, I remembered humming sheesh and setting my eyes on the most handsome man ever.

I swiped my mind away from that thought and I was waiting for him to return. What was taking him so long?

I turned towards the door and saw Henry. My heart started racing extremely fast when I realized he was shirtless. He wore a black boxer and a white small towel was hanged around his neck. A band was tired around his head, making him more handsome.

My eyes were so shocked to see his perfect body, those hard six packs, muscular chest I had felt when we kissed each other. His abs was just too impossible to believe but I just had to face reality, it was really real. His face seemed more sexy and hotter.

I inhaled quietly so he wouldn't know. I tried to ignore what I was seeing right in front of me. He walked towards me and he faced opposite me. He wore a cold look and he sighed.

"You must be so confused as to why you are here." He said dryly and he gave a cold look. "I only have one thing to tell you," he paused and then continued, "if you ever see my brother and I fighting, please don't interfere."

Silence. I blinked at him constantly and his gaze didn't leave my side.

"What?" I broke the silence and stood angrily with a furrowed brow. "I saved you!" I looked up to face him and I was wishing I was much taller.

"Next time you see something like that, just enter your room quietly." He sounded like he was about to pick a fight.

My brows were still furrowed and I was ready to cause a fight. "So you expect me to just sit quietly as I witness some random person..."

"My brother." He interrupted.

I gave a dangerous glare at him and he kept quiet. "I thought you were going to say thank you." I spoke incredulously and my glare was still fixed at him.

"Okay fine!" He blurted out, "thank you!"

"Thank you?" I scoffed after that statement and my blood was boiling.

"What do you want?" He eyed me and rolled his eyes. "Just go." He scoffed, "I have practice to do."

We looked at each other and our eyes were fixed at each other. I gulped quietly and it felt like something hit my heart hard.

"What about the kiss?" Those words came out without even realizing it.

The silence became much thicker. Our eyes were still fixed at each other. My eyes were kind of teary but held it back. I didn't know why I wanted to cry even though it wasn't needed in this situation.

"I think you should leave." His words were stiff like iron and he gave an icy cold look at me.

"Ok fine." My voice was so shaky and it was so obvious I was about to pour tears.

I turned and was about leaving when my heels clutched against each other. I lost completely balance, making me slip into the pool.

"Argh!" I was completely covered with water, trying to move my hands to the top but I felt like paper.
