Enemies Become Mates novel Chapter 40

I walked pretty far, like the beach house became tiny and the music was barely heard. Sounded very muffled. The moon was high up in the sky illuminating the water in front of me. The water was very calm, no big waves or anything almost still. I took a seat on the sand and let my mind wandered a bit.

Actually my mind didn't wander that much, I was thinking about how insane I've been these past few days. I mean the fact I'm this concerned about Elliot kind of frightens me just a tad bit. Not only that I'm seeing him in a whole different light, I'm even being nice and worried about his well being.

Obviously the big question popped up in my head, do I like him?

I shook my head, that can't be true. Just a few months ago I literally hated his guts and if was even one inch close to me I wanted to kill him. There's no way I can like him now, it's impossible. He rejected me, me so I shouldn't be feeling like this towards him. However at the same time he's been treating me very nicely. The bare minimum yes but other things factor into it. He's protecting me from that rat of a boy named Ace, and even heard out my own problems.

I started to bite my nail trying to make up excuses why I'm feeling this way. It has to be the mate bond that's why, it's playing tricks with my mind.

I mean yeah he's cute and sometimes when he smiles my heart literally jumps out of my chest but that's it. Or other times when he was drunk I admit it's one of my favorite memories or even when he helped me with my ankle.

My hands flew up to my face and I kicked the sand with my feet. Yes I must be going insane, I can't like him no way! It's a trick! Though knowing no matter how much I do deny what I am feeling it's quite obvious that I do indeed 'L' word him and it makes me feel icky.

What happen to not falling in love Cassie Dawson?!

"Are you ok?" I sat stiffly in my spot and slowly turned around to see Elliot standing there with a confused look.

"How long have you been here?" I asked him.

"Well by the time you started freaking out and kicking the sand." He pointed out innocently. Damn he saw that embarrassing moment of mines.

"O-Oh I see! Um are you ok?! Did you get hit?" I got up from the ground and checked his face to see any injuries. The wounds he did were already healing quickly and should be gone in a few minutes.

"Yeah I'm fine." Elliot smiled softly and I awkwardly look away.

My eyes went to the sky and just stared up at the stars. However I can feel Elliot's intense stare on me and I glanced to see him smirking. What is he smirking about? There's nothing to be smirking about either ways. I gave him a confused look and Elliot randomly grabbed my chin.

"So you like me huh?" My eyes widen and my face definitely felt really hot.

"W-What are you talking about!" I yelled out accidentally and jumped back away from him.

"You know you should really block out our mind link. I can hear you really well you know." Elliot tapped the side of his head and walked towards me. I walked backwards with my hands in front of me with a terrified face.

"I don't know what you are talking about. Everything you heard in my head was all a lie. I hate you." I spoke quickly.
