87 Go sleep on my bed (2/2)
”There's no need.” She utter and quickly put her shoes on.
”You really think that I'll do something to you?” Tony asked as he turn around to her direction.
”If you are planning to do something… I think you are also digging your own grave.” He laugh and shook his head.
”If we aren't in a situation like this, would you even consider to date me?” he asked frankly like they are in a normal relationship. Tony's heart was beating a little nervous. He wanted Veronica so much. He wanted her to be around him. He wanted her to be on his bed every morning as he wakes up.
Just once glance at her, he already knew that it was her that he wants to spend the rest of his life. He's willing to do anything just for her. They had been getting along like friends when they are alone. She's a cool person and a witty one.
”Mr. Lawson, I don't date men.”
”So you prefer women?”
”I prefer to be alone.” She said frankly.
”We haven't started yet but you are already rejecting me. We are both single people and can always mingle and even do more.” He is indicating something. Propositioning. She chuckle pick her purse.
Veronica never thought that someone would approach her boldly. Whiskey did but all he did was to tease her and said that he likes her. But she never put it into consideration. She doesn't like anyone at all. She never had her first kiss, her first male hug, or even any contact with men. She hated men and the only contact she make is by breaking their bones and twisting their neck.
But this man was too bold that he is willing to tell her anything that he had in mind. Even when it's too—much. She never deny that she wasn't attracted to him but she has to remain platonic. Because being platonic would only make her survive. If Catriona didn't manage it, well she wasn't Catriona. They both have different pasts but they have the same path to take.
”It's been two months and you've been seducing me.” Tony said as he sat down on the sofa tirelessly. She frown a little. Seducing him? How could she?
”When did I ever seduce you?”
”All of your actions that I notice—it seduce me. The way you push your hair at the back of your shoulder… the way you bit your lips. The way you adjust your glasses, everything seduce me. You only make me this miserable. Do you know that?”
She rose her brows. Too surprise from what he is confessing.
”I don't know that.”
”That's because you are too ignorant and you dislike men. I could see that. Even the few males that came to your direction to hook up with you tried hard to get you. Remember in the bar? They tried hard just to get between your legs but you remain close and even almost killed them with your glare. But, my dear little secretary, those glare was the most seductive eyes you make—well beside of the fierce eyes you just make few minutes ago.”
In her life, she is just now speechless from the man's bold confession? She didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. Then she suddenly laugh and smack her forehead.
”Damn it, I over did it.” she mutter. She didn't meant to seduce him. She didn't plan on seducing anyone but is it because she got a good looks and good body? ”Mr. Lawson, you haven't get laid yet. So you it is just effect of longing for release. Do you want me to book you at somewhere?” She pull her phone and started researching.
”No. I only want you.” He said it straight and sharply.
”Then I am going.”
”I'll walk you out.”
She did let him walk her to the parking lot. Just when she's driving her car that the company lent to her. She watch him from the rear mirror and had a big thought inside her head. This has never happened to her before. She shook the thoughts.
”This isn't good. Your goal was your boss's orders. You have no right to fall into a trap. Lust and love was a trap.” She mutter to herself. Just when she turn around the car, she felt that something was odd. But she keeps driving and brought out something under her skirt. ”I am in a fucking trap.” She twist the steering wheel to make the loader at the back bump on the corner.
She pointed the knife to the person behind her.
