Chapter 295 - Wedding Dress (1/2)

''So, do you want to chase me? ''

Diana's cheeks burned as her eyes turned to Michael who was staring back at her with a grin on his lips; she opened her mouth to defend herself but before she could say a word, Michael spoke again;

''you just said that women would chase me if I spoke like this to them, that would only mean you want to chase me? Am I wrong? ''

Although she considered him attractive much, she wasn't going to accept to his face that she was smitten by him, she still had her pride!

Glaring at him, she said, ''I don't. ''

Pulling her eyes away from him, she dug into her cake;

''Ouch, that hurts.'' Michael held his heart as though her words had hurt her, there was silence between them for a while, then he said;

''I don't mind if you want to... '' Diana paused and turned to him to look at him;

''The last time I checked, women didn't do the chasing! '' she glared and Michael laughed;

''Okay, if that's the case, am I allowed to chase you? ''

Diana didn't know if he was joking or not, but either way, his words stirred her heart. She swallowed and looked away ignoring his question. Her eyes fluttered as she filled her mouth with her cake, unfortunately, that was the last bite and she was going to be stuck staring at him unless she found something that would take her out of there.

Michael watched her quietly when he saw she couldn't answer because she was uncomfortable with the question, he asked another;

''Tell me about your childhood; ''

Diana was lost in her thoughts; maybe she was poor at reading interests, or maybe he was just a little complicated for her. When he stared at her, sometimes she felt as though he was smitten by her, and other times, it felt as though he was talking to her as though she was his younger sister, whom he wanted to protect. She was confused.

But since he was here, talking to her and wanting to know more about her, he was interested in her a little, right?

Earlier, he had asked her if there were kiss scenes and when she confirmed that there were, he agreed to play the part immediately. And just now, he asked her if he could chase her, she didn't know whether he meant it or not, but there was a hint of sincerity in his eyes.

Diana smiled to herself, they were progressing. Even if he wasn't madly in love right now, he at least cared a huge lot about her.

''Hey, what are you thinking about? ''

Diana blinked back to reality and smiled; ''nothing, so what did you say? ''

'' I asked about your childhood. ''

''Oh, it was… eventful, but sometimes it would feel lonely, I didn't have any siblings and Nicklaus refused to play with me, he was always on his own. ''

''Nicklaus? ''

''Yeah, he lived with us after his parents died. He was always quiet and alone, the most he spoke was to my mom, or maybe when he was required to talk to me. So apart from my school friends, who visited sometimes, it was a little lonely. But things became better in high school, I was among the popular girls because I was very pretty in high school, and then we were about the three prettiest girls in class, so we got a handful of attention. So tell me about you? ''

Michael smiled; ''Well, I was a bad boy in school since I was handsome and tall, girls love handsome and tall boys, so I was popular with the girls.

I'm not proud of it, but I was dating two girls at the same time, well it wasn't totally my fault because even when I refused them, they didn't want to let me be, you know how teens behave. I think they knew I was double dating, but they weren't sure since they weren't friends and not in the same class.
