He looks like he can do anything to me at that moment and strangely, I want him to.
' that's stupid. I should stop him ' I screamed in my head but I didn't make any move physically.
" Back off Max. What the hell are you doing?". I found my voice and shouted at him.
I put my hands on his chest and made to push him but instead,he grabbed my hands and pinned them above my head.
He moved closer until his lips were touching my ears and that little action made me shiver.
"What are you thinking?" He said, voice husky.
That brought me back to my senses and I made to face him but boom-- my lips brushed his.
It was just a brief contact but that brief contact made me tingle from head to toe.
"I'm-I'm-sorry , I-I should leave". He stammered as he rushed out of the room.
Max's pov;
I could still feel the tingle as I made my way to the dining table and sat with Nelson.
By then, I already lost my appetite for food so I was just playing around with my food.
She came down after freshening up. Nelson already finished his food but was still sitting by the table anyway.
It was silent,a frustratingly uncomfortable silence.
I remembered the way I felt when her lips brushed mine and I could swear I blushed.
I kept stealing glances at her every now and then but she wouldn't look up.
After clearing the table, Nelson stood up," I'm going to bed". then she made to stand up too.
" Don't worry Mom, I'm now a big boy, I can put myself to sleep". She laughed at that.
" You grew from a baby to a big boy in not up to three weeks, how cool".
She hugged him goodnight and stroked his hair before he left.
He didn't even bother to greet me anymore, which I found amusing.
She looked back and her eyes made contact with mine. She quickly looked away.
She left to sit in the living room.
I didn't like the way she was. It was like she was feeling guilty or something.
I don't want her to think it's her fault and blame herself or something like that.
So, I went to sit beside her. I noticed the way she was fidgeting and shifting nervously.
"I'm sorry, Alexandra". I said softly.
Color rushed to her cheeks as she blushed.
She looked so beautiful right then that I was almost tempted to kiss her for real.
Just after that she put on a cold expression. " What for?" She asked in that cold tone of her that I could tell was a facade.
" It was my fault earlier, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to. Believe me or not,but I'll never kiss a girl against her wishes". Especially not you, I added in my mind
" Ok". She said turning away from me.
" Are you still angry?".
" Nah". She said, still not looking at me.
" Please look at me,ok?". She still didn't.
"Alexandra, I'm really sorry something like that happened without your permission but I'll promise you now that I won't do it again". I added as an afterthought. "At Least not without your approval".
She turned to look at me then,a slight blush could be seen on her face.
" I wasn't angry,ok. I was just...well, I don't know. But I definitely wasn't angry". She said as she looked down shyly.
I was thinking if she felt the same thing I felt.
" Can I hug you?". It came out before I could think of what I just said.
" You don't have to. It's just- I just- I don't..."
Before I could tell her it was not intentional,she already hugged me. And damn,it felt amazing.
I couldn't help it, I hugged her back and held her against me.
It felt so good,so right. I didn't want to let her go until she push me away.
I wad mildly embarrassed.
Mira's pov;
I'm Mirabel. The only child of my single Dad, my Mom is dead.
I had been abroad for long and now I'm back. My wish of becoming Maxwell's wife is about to come true.
We were friends before I left and I had a secret crush on him then.
Now, I can finally be with the man of my dreams.
I'm a nice girl really,but I don't joke with what's mine.
The other day in the meeting room, I discovered that Max seems to like someone. I don't care who it is but whoever it is can never have Max.
Max is mine and mine alone. I don't share.
