Doted On By The Mafia Boss novel Chapter 47

Ryan kept mum for a while; his temper which was already in tempest hit its limit when she wasn't getting his actions and wasn't reacting in the way he wanted her to act. Afraid that he would embarrass himself more he decided t give up on it for now. "Nevermind!" He spat and turned away without even waiting for her to react.

"I- Ok." Catherine, who was well aware of how his mood worked, decided to let it go. He had never yelled out at her, not in the past long years was once when he talked to her with the slightest irritation in his tone but she had seen how scary he could get when he was not in the right mind.

The two were about to reach school, while she was playing with the bouquet he gave her Ryan was deep in thoughts. Everything he heard from Jack, the times when he warned her admirers to stay away and random compliments he heard about her were echoing as a cacophony in his ears.

When the car finally stopped he stepped out of the car absent-minded; he looked at her, her lips were moving and it seemed that she was saying something to him but he couldn't hear anything. She waved at him and was about to go to her class when he suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Catherine turned around bewildered and peered at him.

Ryan's heart was beating as fast as ever when he blurted out, "Will you go out with me."

Catherine, "..."

The two looked at each other completely silent; Ryan was nervous yet looked calm silently observing her expressions. She blinked in silence tightening his heart!

Why is she silent? Is she shocked? Did she not expect this?

His mind went blank, what if she never thought like that to him and he had scared her off. In the school pavement, the two stood still, the time seemed to have stopped around them.

Unable to bear the awkward situation anymore Ryan called out for her, her expressions revealed that she wasn't speechless but had slipped into a trance.

"What is your answer? You can take your time and give me an answer." Ryan spoke and was about to take his leave when he heard the girl's weak voice ring up.

"Yes."

"What?"

"I... I am willing to go out with you."

The girl hung her eyes, flushing red; she looked youthful and full of love. Even though her words were as clear as ice Ryan still took a few seconds to process it in case he was misunderstanding. Words may lie but expressions won't; her rosy cheeks were saying it all.
