Chapter 94

We eat before leaving, me moving in shocked silence since my mind had awakened in such a fuzzy way, and even took me a few moments to realize that he had called me by that detestable word but then the moment had already passed and I was no longer in the mood to argue.

Damn him and his smooth ways, damn him for sneaking his way into my heart.

For some reason that thought at the same time made me hate him more just as much as long for him. What's wrong with me? How can I possibly feel such conflicting emotions for someone like this? Am I sick? Ugh.

"I hate you, you little devil." I say to him on our way out, and for a moment I think he did not hear me, not reacting at all or rather, focusing on not reacting and digesting my words, oddly enough, but then he displayed his playful smirk and grabs my hand too fast for me to react, lowering my guard around him as I seemed to be doing these days, and planted a kiss on my knuckles.
