Chapter 5

"Rod!" The attorney shouted as I entered the house. I came home from school and it was late already.

"What the hell? I said no. I will not marry her!”

Getting married? Rod is getting married?

"This is what your father wants son. Just follow him."

"I do not want to!"

He looked at me and his eyes immediately widened.

I averted looking at him and approached attorney to kiss on her cheek.

"I'm just in the room," I said and didn't wait for any of them to speak. After that bar accident, Rod and I didn't see each other much anymore.

Simply because he stayed in Opol where his father was.

We just met again after a week. Then now, I saw him arguing his mom.

I lay on the bed and thought about what I heard earlier. Rod is getting married?

What a big news. I just got up to take a shower.

Because it’s not my habit to prepare my clothes before taking a shower, I left the bathroom with just a towel on when the door suddenly opened. I saw Rod looking at me with wide eyes.

I bit my lip hard to not to overreact.

"You didn't lock the door," his face darkened while staring at me.

"You should knock then.."

I saw him walking closer to me while I was just standing in front of him, tightly holding the towel that was wrapped around me.

He pulled my waist closer to him. He didn’t take his eyes off me.

I just look calm but my heart can't stop pounding.

"Were you waiting for me?" his deep husky voice soaked onto me. I cling to his arm while the other hand is holding the towel so it’ll not fall.

I can’t stop my heart. It’s pounding real hard. Damn it!

I shook my head. "I'm busy," I said.

I don't want us to talk about the kiss. I'm ashamed because I was the one who initiated it.

I admit that I had a crush on him but I was very passionate during those times.

"Where?" he asked.

He’s staring at my lips. What is he thinking?

I backed away from him and sat on the bed. I don't care if I wet the bed sheet. It will dry out later.

"I'm busy at school R-Rod,"

I saw a strange sparkle in his eyes after I uttered his name.

What's wrong?

“Hmm…”

"You are getting married?" I asked biting my lower lip. I saw him stare at me for a moment.

"No. Why would I?”

I bit my lip and nodded.

"Need to dress up," I said.. I'm really impressed with myself. I didn't even stutter in front of him even though I was feeling very nervous.

"Okay," he said.

"Are you going to do something later?" he asked again. I nodded.

"School works,"

He nodded and left the room. When he disappeared from my sight, only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

What happened? Why is Rod acting like that?

I got dressed right away and dried my hair. I have no plans to go out. I even lock the door. I don't want to see Rod.

He's not good in my system. He always makes me nervous.

When I finished my assignment, I immediately fell asleep. I just woke up around midnight just to drink water.

I don't know if Rod waited for me to go out earlier but why would he wait for me? There’s no reason to wait for me.

It's not really a good idea to have him by my side. I didn’t recognize myself anymore whenever he’s near.

When I went down to the living room, I was surprised to see Rod drinking alone. I immediately turned around to go back to my room when he spoke.

"Why did you lock your room?"

I knew he was talking to me. So, he went to see me earlier?

"It's normal to lock the room," I answered.

"Why didn't you go out earlier?"

I bit my bottom lip. I don't want to answer.

"Elena and I kissed earlier," he said making me turn in his direction. I caught him staring at me.

I immediately regretted turning to him. I wish I didn't.

"I don't care about that," I said calmly even though I knew to myself that I didn't like what he said.

"Torrid...she svcked my lips..hard."

I bit my lip hard. Why is he saying this?

"She sat on my lap-

"What's your problem?" I couldn't stop asking him.

I saw him raise an eyebrow at me.

"What's your problem? You kissed me the last time at the bar!”

I stopped and looked down.

"Sorry.. I wasn't thinking straight that time. Probably because of the alcohol," I made an excuse.

"Oh.. yeah?" he said, mocking me. I closed my eyes. This man knew how to tease me.

"I'm going to sleep!"

I didn't wait for him to answer. I went back up to my room, hurrying...but before I could even open my room, Rod's angry face was already in front of me.

He pinned me against the wall and before I could know it, his lips landed on mine claiming it like a hungry animal that haven't eaten for years.

My eyes widened when I realized that he's kissing me torridly. I tried to move out of his grip but he didn't let me. Instead, he thrust his body to mine and I almost lost my consciousness when I felt him down there poking in my stomach.

It's hard...

Then.. slowly...my body didn't resist anymore. I close my eyes and snake my arms around his nape. I threw myself to him and I just felt my body lifted up in the air.

I cross my legs around his waist and respond to his hungry kisses with the same intensity he’s giving. He kissed my lips and I responded him with a moan that I couldn't restrain.

He opened the door and walked inside my room then he laid me on my bed and kissed me again. I tilted my head upwards just to have him an access to explore my neck....

"You smell...ahhh—beer," it's embarrassing.. I should stop this.

"I got pissed off. You’re avoiding me,” he said while glaring at me.

I turned my head to the other side. I don't want to meet his eyes.

"We shouldn't kiss. Attorney Manilou wouldn't like it for sure.” I whispered but his face just darkened as if he didn't like what I said.

"Shut up and kiss me back!" He demanded.
