Chapter 24 KISS, MAKE UP AND A LITTLE BIT MAKE OUT

Michelle's POV

My relationship with Xander is on the rocks right now. He never said sorry for accusing me, he never tried to text me either.

I know I should feel guilty because I kissed a guy and I was kissed by a guy but I felt nothing, yeah, it was considered cheating but he triggered me to do it because of his baseless accusations. Now he can accuse me because I have done it now.

My mom and I are eating at some fancy restaurant. The place is pretty crowded because of its delicious dish. We're almost done when a middle-aged woman approached us.

"Michaella! It's nice to see you here!" She said with a sweet smile on her face as she kissed mom's cheek.

"Nice to see you too! Alexa! How have you been? It's been a month. Anyway, This is my Daughter Michelle, Mich she is Alexa my business partner for almost 5 months, I guess?" Mom introduced us to each other so I stood up and hug her.

"You are a gorgeous lady! Nice meeting you, Michelle!" She said happily. I just thank her and return to my seat to finish eating.

"Got pretty busy with my other businesses. Some are going on the rock, you know, the typical business dilemma" she continued as she talks to my mom.

"That's tough! If you need help, I'm here, okay? I'll lend you a hand" Mom offered which she gladly accepted. When I am done eating, we decided to leave the resto since the place is crowded and a lot of people are waiting in line.

" Thank you! By the way, I'm with my sons. Alexon and Alexander, he's about your daughter's age, I would love to introduce them" She said. Wow! Small world. The same name as my boyfriend, moms seem to notice it and look at me and flash a smile

"I would love to meet your sons but we're kind of in hurry. We're going to my husband's company and bring this!" Mom said as she lifts the food we take out.

We bid goodbye and left the restaurant.

We're already in the car when I realized that I forgot my phone so I immediately went back to where we sat to find out that Alexa is sitting there with two guys who seem to be her sons she's talking about.

"Sorry to disturbed you but I left-------" I failed to finish my sentence because I am too shocked to see the face of the person sitting beside her.

What the hell is this? He also looks shocked when he saw me. Wow! what a great liar he is!

"Here's your phone! I thought you already left so I figured to bring it to your residence. Anyway, good thing, These two are my sons----" I breathed heavily and composed myself. I didn't let her finished talking and excused myself.

"I appreciate but I really have to go. We're really in hurry !" I said and stormed out of the place. The air around me feels heavy. I am mad, confused, hurt, annoyed. I feel betrayed!

I was deceived, He said his parents and brother were living abroad. He said he lives alone! But fuck! I feel like I'm not a deserving woman to be introduced to his family and it fucking hurts.

I was about to get in the car when someone pulled me.

"Hi Tita Michaella, Can I borrow Michelle for a while, I just need to talk to her" After he told that to mom, he pulled me to his car, he didn't even let mom speak. I want to protest but my body is trembling. I'm trying hard to control the tears. But it doesn't help because the mere fact that he's here driving his car silently while holding my hand made my tears fell from my eyes helplessly.

I just let him pull me to wherever the hell he wants and the time we stopped walking, I just realize that we are in the unit in one of the few condos he has in the Metro.

“I have reasons why I didn’t say my family is living here.” He explained but I never bothered to talk.

"Mich, Don't be mad at me please! I'm sorry for lying, sorry for hurting you, sorry for upsetting you, sorry for being an asshole to you, and sorry for not trusting you" He pleaded.

I stared at his eyes and analyze his face but damn! I hate the expression he makes because it made me want to forgive him as easily as that.

He stood closer until we're inches apart, cupped my face, and stared into my eyes.

"I love you! Let me prove it to you!" Then he leaned closer to me and kissed me passionately. One thing leads to another and I lost control, We both lost control.

He kissed me in my lips down to my neck, my belly, and back to my lips.

I know where it might lead but without a second thought, I gave in. I give him my all like I always do...

I'm still lying on his bed while his arms are wrapped around mine.

Reminiscing the time that I first gave him myself, I never regret it because I love him. I know I promised Black that we are only going to do it with the one we're going to marry and I'm sure as hell that Xander is the one I want to marry.

Black's POV

When I woke up I was already in bed but it's not mine. It was Daze's but he's nowhere to be found.

I immediately got up and looked for him. Dash and Daze don't even bother to wake me up and that's embarrassing.

I saw Daze in the kitchen cooking

"You're sick for Pete's sake! Where's Dash?" I hissed so I can get his attention. He glanced in my direction and slightly smiled at me, He looks better than before. Maybe he's feeling better.

"Even if you're okay now, you shouldn't force yourself doing stuff, you're going to get sick again and, I don't want to take care of you again" I plainly said. I didn't go to my job because of him.

It's already evening and if he gets sick again, there's no way he can make me take care of him again.

"Just have dinner here and you can leave me" My eyebrows rose. He doesn't seem to be scratching now. My eyebrow creased when he said that. I found it odd that he is not as gullible and annoying as always.

I just saw myself sitting in front of him and observing him as he eats.

"It tastes good, Don't know you know how to cook!" I stated.

"I suck at cooking. Dash cooked it, I just warm it" I shook my head and laugh. What a waste of my praise.

He's been quiet since we start eating until we finished. I offered to do the dishes but he strongly refused so I ended up waiting for him on the sofa. When he came back, he looks so surprised as if he's not expecting to see me there.

"I feel great now, Black. You don't need to force yourself to stay in a place near me." He said in a serious tone. What's with him? Is he throwing a tantrum now?

"What does Dash say that made you so mad and ended up hurting yourself?" I asked.

"I believe it's none of your business," He said and started walking towards his room. What an attitude? Is it really necessary to be an ass when sick?

"Well, Duh! It's about me!" I answered in annoyance.

"It's not about you, Black! It's about my feelings so you shouldn't bother to ask" He said sounding so bored as if he wants me out and it annoys me even more.

"WOW! What an asshole can you be? You basically forced me to be here and take care of you and now you're acting like a complete douche!" I exclaimed! He stops in his tracks and looks at me frustratingly.

"You badly want to know?" He asked but I didn't answer. I am convinced that I should leave but he started talking.

"Because I fucking hate the idea that my cousin likes you! But what frustrates me the most is that you're not even mine! You even hated me, yet, I'm still doing pitiful acts just to get closer to you! I am thankful and happy that you took care of me but I feel so pathetic that the only woman I want after all these years of playing is the woman I will never have!" He burst out loud that shocked me.

"Geez! You always made me lose my mind" He said out of frustration

"I think I'm going to leave now!" I said and walk towards the door hoping that he will not say anything but being the Daze I know, he said something that made me stop taking another step.

"Let's get serious here Black! I love you and that is for real" I look at him waiting for him to say that it was a joke even I know he meant every word.

"Do you expect me to believe you?" I ask. The hell? Even I asked him that, I know in my heart that I believed him.

"Of course! I know we started on the wrong foot but I want to make things right!" He said as he stares at me as if he's pleading to be accepted. I sighed.

"Okay! I acknowledge your feelings but that doesn't mean I should accept it." I said and start walking again

"What does that mean?" He asked.

Before I open the door, I sighed deeply and respond

"Consider that as a rejection" I left before he even answers. I don't want to hear his objections, I don't want him to mix things up, I don't want anything to do with him.

He brings trouble. He is trouble and I'm not going to consider someone like him in my life...

I went back to my unit to see James in front of the door.

"Hi? Didn't expect you to be here" I said as soon as I reached him. He looks at me looking worried and afraid, he didn't speak, he just went straight to me, closed our gap, and hug me
