I was the last one to arrive at the dining table. I scanned the area and took a seat away from Alaric and unfortunately, just next to the asshole Zeke. I was still pissed and the fear I experienced from the dream and Alaric this morning still lingered in my heart. I had never coward at anything this terribly but for so reason, I could not get it out of my mind. The more I tried, the more it brought every image of the dream and that ti with Alaric flashing in my mind like a movie. What irked mostly was Alaric’s goddamn anger and possessiveness. It was just the previous day we had gotten together but problems were already arising, stupid problems actually. I never thought about it before but now, the possibility of remaining for long was slim and that made my heart and soul ache so much that I felt breathless.
"Are you fine?" I heard a whisper from the person beside but just ignored him and started eating. "Whatever you do just don’t make Alaric angry. I’ll be the one to suffer the consequences because he cannot hurt you."
I took a pause and dropped the spoon back to the plate, then glanced at him with a smile that was not really a smile. "Then I’ll do my best to piss him off." And I resud eating.
"If I suffer because of you, I’ll find him another woman of his league to replace you. By that ti, he will not even rember your na let alone youuuuu...."
The nerd was making angrier so I ended up putting a hot boiled egg on his mouth. "Don’t try , asshole." I took the table knife and pointed it at him then continued. "I’ll chop your body into pieces and feed it to the wolves if you piss again."
I was expecting him to get mad or sothing but he chuckled mockingly then grabbed the knife from in his nonhuman speed that I had not found its source yet. "The wolves will slice you into pieces if you dare hurt . After all, am the biggest bad wolf." He licked his lips swinging the knife on my face.
"You, a wolf? Maybe a wolf pup. Look at yourself before ranting..."
"That’s enough!" Alaric intervened as we both turned to him.
"You are supporting him? He said he’ll find another woman for you and I can’t say a word?" I was super pissed with Alaric now that I didn’t know I sounded like a jealous possessive girlfriend. Earlier, he was also the one who getting jealous over a man in my dream but I had no say when it ca to ? No, that was not acceptable. I stood up glaring at him. "I’ll be in the car." Before leaving, I took a plate and placed toast, pancakes, bacons and a glass of milk and matched away. I could hear Zeke rumbling so insults but I cared less.
It did not take long and Alaric followed. I focused on my food till I was done and surprisingly, the car had not left the compound. I was about to ask why when Alaric grabbed the plate and glass on my hand and handed it Luke who standing outside.
"Good day, boss. Good day Miss Ravenna." Luke wished politely and I waved back at him while gulping a bottle of water handed by Alaric.
After I was done, I threw it outside through the car window and wiped of the stains on my mouth with the back of my hand. "What?" I could feel Alaric’s gaze on for so ti now which was making nervous though I concealed it well.
"You never fail to surprise ." He replied and then gestured the driver to start the car.
The ride was silent and was taking longer just like so ti back. The last this happened I was taken to a place hell knows where and almost got killed by Zeke and him. My heart stopped rembering that incident making tap at the driver’s shoulder. "Stop the car."
"Don’t." Alaric ordered and brought down the car partition which made my body go numb.
The mories from earlier that I had sohow forgotten ca rushing back and I moved away, glued to the window. "Stay away from ." I murmured subconsciously out of fear that I didn’t know where it ca from. I was just acting on instinct. There was sothing in my mind that was whispering to that this man I had fallen so deeply in love with was dangerous, very dangerous for him to make this scared. His re presence now was giving goose bumps not talking that we were confined in a small space and he could do anything to . As to why I was reacting like this, I was unable to understand either. I had been scared of people before but not this extent of wanting to run away and hide. Even that fear was overpowering the feelings I bared for him.
"Are you scared of ?" I jumped a little hearing him speak on my ear.
I looked at him and saw an unusual calm in his eyes, making my breath slow. At least he was not angry. "I don’t know why either. I intended to be angry with..." I stopped not realizing when I even replied to him. I wanted to give him the silence treatnt for the rest of the day but I guess it was not possible. I would definitely die if I remained quiet for a long ti.
"So, you are angry with ." He stated and I could clearly see he was smiling with his eyes. "Why?"
The nerve of him to ask that. I faced the other side with a humph feeling my body burning with anger, the fear from earlier forgotten like it never existed which shocked . This man had ways with words making forget almost the existence of everything and only think of him. I might run mad if I continued acting like him. Angry at one second, afraid the next and then, extre feelings and desire taking over with the little of seduction. I could never resist him no matter how much I tried. I was goner with no chance of redemption.
"Don’t want to talk to ."
Silence!
"Alright. I think I should consider Zeke’s idea since you don’t want ..." I did not let him complete his statent and pulled his tie biting his lips hard.
I could see the slight shock in his eyes just like I was surprised by my untoward reaction. This was definitely not . "I... don’t know what’s... wrong with ."
Alaric chuckled lightly and pulled the back of neck closer to him, biting my lower lip too but not hard. "Just like how you dislike the idea of another woman being close to , I also don’t like sharing. As long as you are mine, no contact with any other man. Not even in your wildest dream or nightmare. It should be only ."
I blinked twice after he was done. "You talk a lot." I replied mimicking his voice when he says that to trying to hide the nervousness and the rapid beating of my heart. His words were like hot spring that lted away any other feeling away and thought and all I could see was him. Yes, it should only be him. I was willing to belong to him only.
"Isn’t it your fault? You have turned into a noisy crow just like you." I was about to smile triumphantly but when he added that noisy crow sothing, my mouth fell and glared at him accusingly.
"I hate you." I sneered and let go of his tie, before pushing him away from .
"No, you don’t." I side glanced him and I could see him still smiling while putting his tie back in place.
"You make angry." I uttered stealing more glances.
"And horny too."
"Bloody hell! Aren’t you a shaless bast..." And before I could finish, he captured my lips unannounced and bit them again before pulling into a deeper kiss.
