Chapter 43

He was shocked when he saw me. He can’t even believe that I was infront of him. Even though I was looking for him, I was still shocked to see him there.



One play. Two questions. I will let him ask two questions, and then it's all over. Completely over.


"You're here," he said, stunned.


I didn't respond to him. I looked him in the eyes with seriousness.



"Get in the car," I said flatly, walking to his car.


Looking him in the eyes no longer makes me cringe. Perhaps because we look different now. Maybe it's because I'm not the little kid staring at him.

I saw him smiled. It was only for a few seconds before he quickly turned away, and changed his expression into serious one.

Did he realize I was watching him?



Kairus quickly went inside the car.



Then, what will happen now, Aimee?



"Would you like me to drive this car?" Kairus was the first to break the silence. I looked around, and the car did not disturb anyone.


I shook my head and turned to face him. I caught his eye. He couldn't look at me like this before. Like now, I feel he can freely stare the way he wants.


He stares at me, drunkenly. DI my brother made him drink?



"Two questions," I mumbled, and he looked puzzled. "I'll let you ask two questions, and after that…don’t ever show up again.”



He remained silent.


"Is it a deal or no deal?" I asked again, feeling irritated with him because he seemed so slow to progress what I said. He didn't even move. He was only staring at me for far too long. I snapped my hand in front of him. "Kai, are you listening to me?"



“What did you just say?” he asked so stunned, like it just hit him, now. He was so stunned, literally stunned.


"I asked two questions, and then—"


"Not that," he said, shaking his head away. He moved closer, and I slowly moved away, confused.


“D-deal or no deal?”


He shook his head.


What does he mean?



The anger and resentment towards him were replaced by confusion. "I was just about to ask you the same question."


“No…you…you called me Kai…” he said, weakly.


My lips parted and I averted my gaze.



"Baby, you feel it, too..." he whispered. He touched my arms, but I shook it away because I was feeling something I should never feel again.


Those attractions. Those hot feelings. Those unexplainable of craving the touch.



“
"You're feeling it, too, baby." Did you feel it as well? It doesn't feel illegal to stare at you. My heart leapt for joy when you said, "Get in the car. My heart feels the excitement even you’re mad at me.”



I furrowed my brow and returned my gaze to him. My eyes found his eyes, hopeful. He bit his lower lip and gave me a loving look.



"Pay attention, Mr. Salvador. Two questions.” I reminded him. “"Is it a deal or no deal?" If you're still staring at me with those drunken eyes, whatever my brother had you drink-


"I'm not drunk," He interrupted, "but these are my eyes, especially when I'm staring at you." You've known me it for a long time-


"I said concentrate!” I yelled. "Perhaps you don't need it. I should leave-


Kairus came to a halt in front of me. He grabbed my hand and shackled me. My gaze shifts from his hard hands to my arms. This is the first time we've ever been so close.


“Okay, baby, please don’t leave me again, he begged, and my jaw dropped as I realized how lonely his voice was. He heard it, and he seems not regretting it.


My eyes crossed in pain. He was the one who left, why is he acting as if I was the one who abandoned him?



"Two questions, right?" he asked softly, trying to hold me tighter as if he was afraid to let go.



I nodded to him, bit my lower lip, and waited for him to speak. I looked down. I don’t want to stare at his eyes. It’s making me weak.



“I won’t ask you-


I looked at him quickly, ready to erupt.


"If I ask you this, I want to stare at you. I want you to stare at me. He commanded.

I smirked and pushed his hand away. I cross my arms and lock my gaze on him.


“Then, what now?” I asked, bravely. Let’s end this. Let’s freed ourselves from the past.



I looked at him, madly when his hand landed on my shoulder. I swat it away. “I’m only allowing you to ask question not, touch-


I was shocked and I stopped as he slowly caressed my arm with his hand. I bit my lip and stopped myself.


He took a deep breath and looked at me, as if he was drunk.


"Did you love me as well?" He asked, hopeful. Is he trying to trick me?


“Before or now?” I asked.

He came to a halt and bit his lower lip. "God knows how I want to ask you about the present, but I want to ask about us before. I'd like to know if you have feelings for me as well,”


*If you have feelings for me as well

If you have feelings for me as well

If you have feelings for me as well*



I thought he doesn’t love me, and what’s with that phrase?


I was the one who fell in love first. He has no idea that I was longing for his touch like a pregnant woman longing for something, badly.



Answer this and you're done. To forget and leave the past behind, we must overcome and clear everything.




I closed my eyes because I don't want him to see them. The eyes that never deceive.


"Yes," I replied honestly. Even now, I believe those feelings are beginning to resurface.


When I opened my eyes, I saw his smile again. Ask me that question now, and you'll be disappointed to hear a different answer.


Kairus became solemn. His expression became even more dark. He sighed and smiled, as if trying to give me strength. For what Kairus? For what Mr. Billionaire?


One more question, and I'm done. I didn't blink when I looked at him. I want to look at him before I forget and erase his existence from my small world.


“Did I made you cry?” Kairus asked, and it was the question that I wasn’t prepared.



I averted my gaze and took a deep breath. "Do you want me to answer to that?"


"I know...I know...I'm so fucked." "I'm so evil," whimpered Kairus.
I stuttered, "Y-you made me cry a lot."


I closed my eyes when I feel a little emotional. It was my young crushed who’s not healing even I grow up, good and healthy.


“Y-you…you hurt me…you fucking hurt me.” I said, angrily. “Y-you don’t know how I was dying and you were there killing me-


I feel his fingers on my cheeks. I didn’t notice that I was shedding a tears. Even I hide it, like what I said, eyes are uncontrollable.



“Y-you just came back and asked me that for too long. You were keeping it for too long. You…you let me suffer for that damn so long.” I didn’t stop, and my young heart cried.


I feel his arms wrapped around my waist. I cried in his arms. This is the worst place but this is the only place could feel the void. Could satisfy the anger inside. I cried and cried and punch him.

I was like a young kid, cry because he broke my heart.



“I’m so deeply sorry love…” Kairus whispered badly. “I’m sorry love…Forgive me, love…”
