“What?” Arabella eyes widened in shocked.
Bill’s appearance didn’t show any hint of joking. He had a deep seriousness on his face. He was not playing anymore.
“Come on Mr. Sky! I never sleep with someone I don’t love. I’m not a prostitute.” Arabella was strongly disagreeing.
“I know. I heard that before Ms. Arabella Jones.” Bill uttered her name with emphasis.
“Okay. Since you knew. There’s no need for me to repeat myself.” This time, Arabella had to surrender on her fight. Her disguise was already busted, she no longer finds any chance to win.
“I don’t need a prostitute. I just need you.” Bill frankly said. His eyes looked at her with some sort of sadness in his eyes that she can never tell.
Bill walked back towards his car. He didn’t even spare her a glance. He didn’t care if she followed him or not.
Arabella ran to chase his big steps. She was afraid to be left there alone.
Bill got inside the car and closed it inside.
Arabella couldn’t open it from the outside. She knocked in fright.
The night turned cold. The cold air gushing in the dark.
The engine of the car started. Arabella was horrified. She had a feeling that Bill will leave her there.
“Please. Mr. Sky. Open the door. Don’t leave me here.” Arabella felt like crying. She felt so helpless.
Arabella kept on tapping the window in panic.
The car moved little by little. Arabella chased the car and kept on pounding the window at the passenger seat. Her tears rolled down. She crouched on the ground hugging her knees. Her helplessness invaded her entire body.
Then the car stopped.
Suddenly, strong arms lifted Arabella’s body from the ground. Before she was back to her senses, she was already inside Bill’s car.
She just remained her silence. What could she possibly say? Thank you? No way!
Arabella secretly wiped her tears. She was really drained with the situation the whole day. Everything was nonstop. She was at her very lowest and yet she’s with her best enemy. She felt like something heavy was on her shoulder that she couldn’t put it to the ground.
The next morning, Arabella woke up with a warm bed. She cuddled her soft pillow and buried her head on it. She slowly opened her eyes. To her surprised, she was in a strange room with a large white bed.
She was shocked as she remembered that she fell into a deep slumber inside Bill’s car last night.
She quickly checked on her clothes, all were changed. The room was different as before, It’s not familiar to her.
Suddenly, a strong arm grabbed her closer.
A warm body made her feel so intensely satisfied. If only she could hug this body forever.
“Sleep just a little more.” A sleepy tone of a man can be heard.
Arabella left in a daze. His big hand was actually hugging her back and holding her waist.
She tried to escape away from his hugged.
“Hey. Did you change me?” Arabella asked like she was murmuring.
“Yes.” His voice was lazy. His eyes were still close.
Arabella cheeked turned instantly red.
“How? Did you see everything?” Arabella felt shy and nervous waiting for his answer.
“How could I possibly change you with my eyes closed?” Bill answered her with another question. He just wanted to see her reaction. Bill actually called a house maid last night to change her.
Arabella froze. She felt the cold air inside her body that she shivered.
“Where are we?” Arabella did stop struggling as his arms were too overly strong for her.
“My house.” Bill hugged her tighter.
“Mr. Sky. May I remind you that you have already a fiancée. You can’t just change my clothes by yourself and you can’t just do this whenever you like. Mr. Sky, I don’t want to be misunderstood. I’m so enough of being misunderstood.” Arabella admittedly wanted not to end this bed cuddling and hugging. His hug made her forget everything outside. Her mind was relaxed and she felt having the sense of security like no one could do wrong with her. Her body, mind and soul liked it a lot, but she has still her morals.
“Hmm…Then may I remind you also that you’re the one who cuddled and hugged me first last night and this morning. I didn’t do anything.” Bill just hummed.
She blushed again thinking her warm pillow this morning. It seemed that it’s not a pillow, it’s Bill’s warm body. Gosh!
“Mr. Sky could you at least take me seriously?” Arabella turned her body facing him, hoping that she can talk to him seriously.
Bill opened his eyes upon her abrupt movement. His arm was still on her waist.
Their eyes met.
Arabella was hypnotized by his beauty and his eyes were like talking to her soul. There was immense electricity running to her veins. Arabella hated herself for being so attracted to his features. She tried her very best to hold the urge to kiss him because of the intense sensation growing inside her body.
She quickly broke her eye-to-eye contact with him and lower her head. This the only thing she could do to fight the urge.
Arabella’s heart, insanely raced as she held her breath.
Unexpectedly, her chin was lifted up back to its original position.
“What’s wrong?” His smile carried the most sexiness.
Their eyes were talking to each other again.
