70 Did he like her? (1/2)

Alyssa was stunned to hear this.

'So all this time he knew that the one messaging him was her'. And even now he wanted her not to know his identity. She felt cheated suddenly.

She angrily looked at him and pushed him to make way for her.

As if knowing what was in Alyssa's mind, Reinhard pulled her towards him and kept her hand that she had used to push him, on her chest. He looked at her eyes and sincerely said, ”I am sorry Alyssa. I just didn't want you to distance yourself from me after knowing my real identity.”

Her name that had rolled out of his tongue sounded especially sweet to her. She wanted to hear her name more often from him. The butterfly that had became silent a while ago, again erupted in her stomach.

”Why?” Her question was more of a whisper.

”I like helping you. I like reading your text. I like the feeling I get whenever I receive your text.” Reinhard answered honestly.

This was too much for Alyssa to take in. Her breathing labored hearing his words. She didn't know what was happening to her. This feeling that she was having was very much new to her. It was like getting intoxicated for the first time. You hate as well as love this feeling at the same time.

His chest that was below her palm suddenly started feeling hot. She knew that she has to remove her hand from his chest, but like a moth, she got attracted to the flame that was burning inside Reinhard and kept her hand as it was.

Both of them remain silent for a while. Their minds were fuzzy but they tried to control themselves from committing a sin. Both of them kept staring at the eyes of each other to find the answers to the unspoken words.

Suddenly a loud horn blared snapping them from their trance. Alyssa hurriedly removed her hand from his chest and tucked a rogue strand of her hair in her ears. She blushed profusely realizing what she was doing a while ago.

Reinhard too cleared his thought. He glared at the man who had blown his horn and disturbed their sweet moment. Under the street lamp, a light blush is also seen on Reinhard's cheek.

”I... h...have to go now.” Alyssa stammered.

Reinhard chuckled and without any warning, once again pulled Alyssa in his embrace.

He loves the feeling of having her in his arms. She looked so fragile before him that he wanted to enclose Alyssa in his arms forever and save her from any harms.

He then bends his head and kissed Alyssa on the corner of her lips.

Alyssa was stunned. With widened eyes, she looked at him without blinking.

Her face flushed red like a tomato. Reinhard looked at her flushed cheeks and her shy expression with interest. She looked like a deer on a spotlight. She looked so innocent that Reinhard wanted to take a bite of her flushed cheeks.

However, there is a distinct line between a gentleman and a lout.

Even though just one kiss was not enough for him and he wanted more than that, but he stopped himself. It was not proper for him to kiss someone without establishing a proper relationship. It was also not proper for him to kiss her without her consent.

He didn't want to overwhelm her with these intense feelings and he didn't want to scare her so that she starts avoiding him.

That's why he took a step back after kissing her.

”Good night”. He wished her and got into his car and left the place.

Alyssa remains standing at the very spot in daze. Everything was unbelievable for her.

She raised her hand to touch the spot where he had kissed her just now.

Thousand thoughts crossed her mind.

'Did he like her?'

But there is no way in hell that he would like her. He was an alpha and a Crown Prince of Fu*king Easteros.

Thousand or even million of flies would have been swarming around him. He could get the attention of any girl that he desires. But why would he choose her, and an Omega of a small kingdom, who is even left by her parents and is mocked by the society?

Alyssa always had an inferiority complex, to begin with, but when compared with Reinhard she felt so weak and unimportant. She believed that she had neither beauty nor brains and neither status to match Reinhard. She wasn't even capable to stand by his side.

Now she was feeling depressed.

She plopped on her bed and kept staring at the ceiling.

Suddenly her phone rang, showing an incoming call from Dianna.

Alyssa groaned before picking up her call.

”What is it, Dee?” She said even though she knew why was she calling her.

”What is it? Seriously Allie. You are asking me this?” Dianna said in mock anger.

”What? I don't understand. What are you referring to?” Alyssa said feigning innocence.

Dianna scoffed.

”What is going with you and Reinhard Allie? And don't give me that 'nothing' bullshit. I can practically feel your's lust towards him.”

Alyssa was once again reminded of her kiss and those indecent thoughts that were running in her mind. once again her body started feeling warm and electricity passed through from one region of her body to another making her blush.
