Alex found himself hugging her back until Abi had fully cald down.
"Can I sleep with you tonight?" she asked and Alex eyes widened a bit. But then, he cleared his throat imdiately, realizing that this girl obviously didn't an anything more than the literal aning of her words.
Without a word, he held her hand and he led her back inside her room. He climbed on her bed and lay down as he gestured for her to lie down next to him.
Abi didn't hesitate and imdiately climbed on the bed and lay on her side, facing him. Her eyes never left his face.
"Are you still angry?" she asked weakly. Her voice sounded a little hesitant.
Alex, who was staring at the ceiling, lifted his arm and covered his eyes with the back of his hand.
"I don't know…" he mumbled.
"I'm sorry, I –"
"No," he cut her off as he turned and look at her. He suddenly pulled her closer to him until their bodies shared each other's warmth. "I think I'm just angry with myself right now. So forget about it and get so rest."
"Why? Is it because you couldn't control yourself?"
Alex fell silent and then she felt him let out a small sigh.
"Abigail… I think… next ti… when you see starting to get angry, it's better for you to run away from . Or at least try to hide away sowhere," he said, his voice velvety smooth.
Abi was surprised. She attempted to lift her head to look at him but Alex held her down and didn't let her, as if he didn't want her to see his face.
"I told you… I'm getting crazier by the day. Who knows what I'd do to you next ti? So at least make sure to take precautions."
She shook her head and she pulled away from him. This was the first ti Alex talked to her this way. His voice, his words and the way he held her at that mont… it was all just incredibly soft and warm.
The instant she saw his eyes; Abi couldn't help but fall in a daze. It was like the glaciers in his eyes had completely lted, like all the iron walls had been torched and once they reached their boiling point, they all lted down to the ground. She never saw him make such a soft expression before. His hard and cold, angry face had beco immaculate, looking like a sad, fallen angel.
The expression he showed her at that mont was enough to wreak havoc inside her heart and mind and she couldn't speak. She felt like she didn't want to blink because she was afraid that once she did, his face would beco hard and cold again. She wanted to just watch him like this, just for a while longer…
"Tsk, stop staring and sleep." He twitched as he lifted his hand and placed it on her nape, planning to pull her down. His expression was finally back to its usual unreadable state, although he still looked a tad bit softer than usual.
Abi let him pull her down but she placed her upper body on top of him, hugging him tightly. She really loved this man so, so much, so bad she could hardly contain it. The fla that grew in her heart every ti she looked at him, every ti she touched him, was becoming more and more fierce. She never knew that love could feel like this. It was stronger than she expected, tougher than she thought, and much more powerful than she ever imagined.
What she felt the longer she stayed with him and the shorter her days beca, was becoming so intense she started to get scared. She felt like her heart had beco a ticking ti bomb with only ten seconds left. What would happen to it once the countdown reached zero?
Abi's grip on him tightened. She wanted to speak but then, she decided not to. She was afraid that the words would burst out from her lips and if that happened, it might open a can of worms.
"What's wrong? Are you still scared?" Alex lifted his hand and wrapped it around her back. "That… that was just a dream, Abigail. Don't think too much more about it," he whispered, although there seed to be an undercurrent in his voice as he said his last two sentences.
"Please don't leave even when I fell asleep, okay?" she replied in a weak voice.
"I won't."
Ti ticked by and the girl on top of him finally started to breathe steadily. He didn't move for a long ti but when he was sure that she was in deep slumber, he carefully put her back on the bed. The girl was gripping his shirt in a tight fist and when he tried to remove it, her hand crawled around his waist .
Alex smiled seeing how stubborn she was even in her sleep. He stared at her face. His expression was indescribable although his eyes were filled with restrained emotions wanting to gush out. He closed his eyes, laid back and placed his hand on his head before he tugged his hair. He was obviously torn about sothing. He rembered what he did to her in the car and he grited his teeth. He didn't want to hurt this little fruit but he felt so wild back then that he couldn't seem to stop himself. Why was he finding it so damn hard to control his actions when it ca to her?
He opened his eyes and saw that the moon was peeking through the window. He stared at it and spoke quietly.
"Tell , what's happening to ? What should I do to..." he trailed off before he closed his eyes and laughed throatily for a second, as if he was laughing at himself for asking for advice from an inanimate object. Maybe he was crazy after all.
However, his smile disappeared when the sleeping girl's grip on his waist tightened as a few faint words escaped from her lips.
"Alex… I love you…"
