Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 327

My reaction must have been funny to Hayden because he began laughing a little after his tongue left my face. His arms still held me quite tightly against him as if he was scared that I may get up and leave. In the past, that was probably what I would have attempted but not anymore. The thought of escape never entered my mind at all.

“I like it so much better when you laugh and smile. I get scared when you’re angry…” I admitted honestly.

“Then don’t do anything that would anger me,” Hayden said as he looked pointedly at me.

Fine, most of the time it might be my fault, but he didn’t have to get that angry all the time.

“What was it that you wanted to tell me so badly?” Hayden asked and I could feel his eyes on me.

I looked away for a moment to gather my thoughts and pick my words. It was hard to say, and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to take back my words after they left my mouth so I had to be extra careful.

“I want to be with you. I’m scared but I still want to be with you. I don’t want us to be separated no matter what…” I said before pausing to think of my next words.

Hayden had the most bewildered expression on his face. He looked at me like I had said something totally ridiculous and twisted.

“Why do you have to look so shocked?” I muttered.

“You wanted to talk so I’ll listen,” Hayden said instead of replying to my question.

“Well, I just wanted to let you know that after thinking a lot about it, I’ve figured out that I can’t really imagine a future without you so if it’s possible, I would like us to be together…always…” I said before glancing up at his face to see his reaction.

Harvey did tell me to propose to Hayden but how the hell was I supposed to say something like ‘will you marry me?’ to Hayden of all people. That was the best that I could do. It sounded pretty much like a proposal to me although I wasn’t sure if Hayden would get it.

Hayden looked at me with a confused expression and I started to get the feeling that he didn’t really understand the meaning behind my words. Just when I thought that I was being quite blunt and straightforward about it too!

“And?” Hayden said questioningly.

What does he mean by that? What more does he want me to say?

“Umm…what more do you want me to say?” I asked as I started to feel heat rise to my cheeks.

It’s so embarrassing. I’ve just told him so many embarrassing things. I can’t believe I said those sweet and corny things to him. He must think that I’ve completely gone crazy. Suddenly, I felt even more self-conscious than usual and the fact that Hayden was staring at my face did not help my case at all.
