Chapter Fifty-seven : Im Coming For You (1/2)
Maya's POV
His calculating gaze ran over my face expressionlessly and his brows lifted.
” Really? Why? ” He asked, still fixing his intelligent gaze on me.
I glanced up at him sternly ” Firstly, you saw me as some sort of game. A prize to be won just to irk Niklaus ”
A look of surprise crossed Eden's features which I didn't fail to capture ” I cannot deny that Maya , Niklaus and I has always been competitive from birth ” He explained but that didn't makeup for the fact that he used me several times as an instrument to cause trouble.
”You see ? ” I pointed out ” Niklaus never saw me that way from the very beginning, he saw me as a normal human being, someone to be respected and- ”
” To have sex with? ” Eden interjected.
”Let's be frank here, that's what you guys think anyway. You see a pretty girl and you approach her, beginning to shower her with sweet nothings while your eyes roam over her body.

”W-well.. you see. I was absolutely right! You guys are all the same, hehe!. Thinking abut it on the first meeting... I'm right ”
Even I knew I was babbling nervously just to ease this awkward tension hanging around us talk more him, there was no sense in whatever I was saying.
Suddenly, I closed my face with my palms as I pleaded ” Please drive me home cause I'm embarrassed to the core ”
Thankfully he didn't say anything and just roared the engine to life and continued his journey.
The ride this time wasn't as tensed as earlier though the awkwardness still remained. while I would steal occasional glances at Eden wondering what he was thinking cause he wrinkled his forehead in grim concentration.
Was his taut face because of my response earlier or was he concentrating on the road ahead?
