Chapter 18 - I Like You? (1/2)

She was surprised when someone suddenly touched her on the shoulder so she walked away from the person behind her. When she turned around, it was Andrew.

”What the hell is wrong with you?” He asked.

He was confused and disappointed. He was thinking if he did something wrong that made her mad to act like that.

”N-Nothing. I was surprised.” She answered.

”There's something bothering you. What is it? Tell me.” He asked, impatiently.

She shook her head and averted her eyes. She couldn't look him straight into his eyes. But her gesture was only making him more annoyed.

He walked closer to her but she walked backwards. He was beginning to get mad at her.

”Nina, if you won't tell me what's wrong how could I help you? I'm your fiance now. Shouldn't we discuss everything especially if you are bothered by something? Or are you changing your mind again?”

She shook her head again and bit her nails. She wasn't sure if she should tell him. But she knows Andrew won't stop asking her.

”What is it?” He almost yelled.

”I-I don't know. I honestly don't know what's happening to me. Y-You're so kind to me and my family. I got confused. I suddenly felt nervous every time you touched me but not the type that I'm disgusted with. But when you touched me, my heart was pounding to the point that I couldn't breathe. I'm scared, Andrew.” Her voice sounded like she was about to cry.

”What do you mean scared?” He asked.

He still couldn't understand all the things she said. She said she was confused and nervous when he touched her but she wasn't disgusted. It was also confusing him.

”I-I'm scared that I might like you if you continue to be kind to me.” She whispered and she was blushing when she said that.

”What? You're confused, nervous and scared because you might like me? That's the reason you're avoiding me?” He was frowning.

She bit her lips and wanted to cry. That's why she doesn't want to tell him. She felt like it was just a lame reason and he would definitely just laugh at her.

To her surprise, he rushed towards her, grabbed her by the waist and slammed his lips to hers. She was not able to resist anymore. She melted into his arms when he started kissing her.

She wrapped her arms to his neck and pushed his head towards her, responding to his kisses. She was panting when he finally released her lips.

”What's the problem of liking me? I was doing those things on purpose so you would like me.” He confessed.

”You are? Why?” She asked, looking at him with her sparkling hazelnut eyes.

”I don't know. I just want to impress you.” He said, scratching his head.

Then he took a deep breath and stared into her eyes.

”Nina, we started as enemies. I know your first impression about me was bad. But we're going to be husband and wife in the future, don't you think it's a good idea to start liking each other? I would be happy if you would like me. So don't be scared, you can like me all you want because I am starting to like you.” He suddenly confessed.

Her eyes widened. Her heart was beating so fast. Did he just say he likes me? Then she smiled at him.
