Chapter 23

Title: No Escape from me darling
THE feeling of the man's grip on her arm made her cringe. Celestine tried pulling her arm to no avail. He is holding her tightly.
"L-let me go ..."
Instead of freeing her. The stranger's infection only got worse. It was as if his arm was about to break.
"How did you get inside my house?"
"Let me go first! It hurts!" he complained
She kept pulling her arm and telling him to let her go but it seemed like a deaf man. Don't let him go. He's really bad. The gossip is enough. He regretted that he even went inside. This is what he got.
"Answer me." the man demand
"How can I answer you if you seem to be cutting my arm? Let go!"
He took a deep breath when he finally let go of the strong grip on his arm. She caressed her sore arm. Thankfully, no one seems to have broken his bone.
"Are you one of them who kept invading my privacy?"
He shook quickly. He got it wrong. He admitted that he was a gossip but he was not the type to know even his most private life. Coincidentally, he thought it had been robbed so he entered the young man's house.
"What are you doing here? How did you get in?" its blue eyes narrowed
"Because your gate is open. I thought ... you were robbed. So I went in to check." he explained
He nodded and bowed as the young man's eyes deepened. He looked like he wasn't believing her.
Celestine doesn't care though whether to believe it or not. And at least, he was able to explain his side.
"You could've call a police to check not by yourself." the man's tone was sharp
His face went with its tone. If he can speak, it's like he's just making an excuse.
"Why did you ask if you don't believe? Tss. I'm already concerned about you. You're still scolding me." Celestine asked bitterly
"I don't need your concern." He spat
Her jaw dropped at how cruel he is. He just laughed. The people around are right. He's one ruthless, arrogant and cruel man who doesn't know how to be grateful. Contrast to his face. He's bad in the inside.
"Instead of thanking me. You're telling me that ?! You should be thankful because someone is still checking on you. It's like a habit."
He whispered what he said in the last line but the man still heard. His sharp eyes looks like it's ready to fire bullets at her.
"What did you say?"
Celestine averted her eyes. She have to escape now. Looks like he's going livid.
"Nothing."
He turned and walked away but he still couldn't get away when he grabbed his arm and pulled. He sighed as he almost sank into its chest. Her heart reacted wildly.
"Liar. I heard you loud and clear lady. I have a bad temper?"
Her feathers rose when she heard its weak laugh. His laugh is not just like any other normal laugh. His seems like promising something.
"I am really bad and I don't let anyone who insult me ​​getaway from it."
Her legs stiffened as it touched both of her waists. His big hands wrapped around it perfectly and even with her clothes still on. She could feel his heat.
Celestine gathered all her strength then held his hands on her waist to detach but the young man just rejected it. He even pulled her closer and her breast was already touching his chest. Her heart pounded even more.
"A-what? Release me!"
He uses his one arm to wrapped around her waist so he can use his other one to cup her chin. It raised his face causing their eyes to meet.
"I am not really in a good mood. You can lighten it up by fucking me. What do you think?"
His cheek warmed at what he had said. He affects her but that isn't enough to make her deaf to what he said. He'd just insult her!
"Fuck!"
Before she even knew it. He knelt down the most careful of it. The young man immediately walked away from her.
Her eyes widened as she marealize what had been done. The man walked away while holding his accidental knee.
Lagot!
"Y-you!" He snapped
"K-it's your fault!" He stuttered a shout
He called her names several times when she ran without looking back. Celestine could still her heart beating so fast. He wants pity but that should be here.
He insulted her. Yeah. That's just right. Celestine just hope that she would never see him again.
IT'S BEEN ONE WEEK since that happened and she's thankful that she hasn't seen the man yet. He didn't even try to go to her house to say hello to her.
She can tell that it really hurt the poor man. His character was strengthened. She winced as she remembered the man's insistence.
It was his fault! He insulted me! He's not that handsome, eh, I'm going to shoot him!
He just sighed and then resumed eating. She doesn't want to remember it anymore.
A knock made him look up. She is in the living room. Eating while watching. It"s her only way to distract herself while she"s not yet going to work.
I didn't expect any visitors, did I?
Out of nowhere, that man suddenly entered her mind again. She instantly feel nervous. What if it followed him ?! What will he do?
"Calm down Celestine! Calm down."
She's still not sure though. Later it was different. Though, Celestine was mentally praying. It really isn't. He slowly walked towards the door. Taking a deep breath. She opens the door.
"What's up? Why do you look like that?"
He lost his eyesight when he heard that voice. It seems that he was pulled by a thorn when he saw Ericka and then Ivan was outside. They were looking at her weirdly.
"Ahh." he hesitated to laugh and smile. "W-nothing. I just came out of ... the bathroom."
Wew ... He thought he had been followed. Maybe she's just overthinking. Maybe that man won't waste time looking for her.
"What are you carrying?" he asked
Ivan who is holding the drinks put it in the center table. Ericka is holding the pizza and plastic fries that are still to be cooked.
"Bottles of cardboard." Ivan's philosophical answer
He would hesitate to beat it because of its answer. He's always like that. Philosopher. Until now he is still not used to it. They were friends for so long now. So they were brave enough to rush to his house.
"Wait. I'll get dressed first. Why didn't you tell me." aniya
"It's a surprise. If we tell you, it won't be a surprise. I'll cook it first." Ericka promised to go straight to her kitchen
"Take a bath too. You stink." Ivan said, making him frown
"Why are you always fighting me? I don't really stink!"
He stared at it even though the young man could not see him. She went to the room to change and take a bath. It's embarrassing for his guest.
Before she went to the bathroom. She first checked her phone if someone called but she froze when she read the unread message.
It's her complete address with the devil's initials in the bottom.
Oh no ...
What to do?
Celestine envied her friends. They were just calm while watching unlike him who was nervous and fidgeting in the corner of the sofa. She can't forget the text message.
It was a big mistake to enter that man's house. The pleasure of beating himself. What really motivated him and he went in there?
This is really what happens to those like him who can"t control their curiosity about things. She hates this nature of hers.
"Are you okay? Why do you look like you're in debt?"
He woke up to the reality of hearing Vander's voice. He looked at it. Ericka was also looking at him. Both wondering.
He forced a smile. "Someone is just thinking."
Ericka's eyes narrowed.
"If that's anything. Don't go on Celes. I know you." its reminder
Celestine frowned at what her friend said but she didn't speak. Maybe he thought he was curious about something again.
"Curiousity kills the cat. They say. Later one day you'll ruin that." Ericka
"I am not."
In fact, he was already doomed. It was useless for him to blame and swear never to repeat it. That man might be chasing her for what she have done with his balls.
He closes his eyes emphatically. If he's really ruthless. She's doomed. What was he up against there?
He have wealth and influence. He only has money. Sometimes it"s not enough.
Ericka's phone rang and she immediately answered it. It seems important because it immediately let go.
"What trouble did you get into Celestine?"
Her nervousness returned to Vander's question. Is he so memorized by his friend that he can immediately predict what he is thinking. He was scratching his head. She had to tell someone before she lost her mind thinking.
"I'm doomed Van."
"Not obvious Celes." its sarcastic remark. "What did you this time?"
He went home.
"I kicked someone's balls."
He didn't know how to explain so that's all he said. That's really the reason why maybe that man, Alexendris, is looking for him.
"And why? Why would do that ?!" its unbelievable question. "Did you harass someone?"
"Stupid! I'm still really harassing a." he broke his promise. "Eh because ... I was just really curious so I went into his house. I thought because ... he was robbed. My plan was just to peek. That's the case after he caught up with me. We fought. He insulted me so that's why ..so ayun. "
"I kicked him there."
Van closes his eyes tightly to his story. He massaged his temple. She seems to have stressed the man too much.
"When are you going to stop being curious Celestine? What if he's after you after what you did? Damn! You'll be damned!" his sermon
He was very lip-bitten.
"Y-that's it. He's chasing me and he'd just got my address. What should I do ?!" he asked in a panic
Vander released a harsh breath, calming down. When it calmed down he asked her again.
"Who is he? I'll talk to him." Van asked seriously
He bowed. He knew that it would make him angry again with his answer or worse, attack Van in the heart with his nonsense.
"A-alexendris ... I kicked Alexendris Courner's balls." he answered weakly
He just closes his eyes when he hears Van's crunchy cheapness.
"Fucking hell!"
He gave Vander an EXTREME SERMON when he told him what he had done. Van already knows his habit so eversince, it"s always what saves him from his own stupidity.
So he was furious to learn that he was not just a man in arrears. Who wouldn't be angry? How could someone compensate with a man who was rumored to have a very bad attitude?
He was depressed. "Maybe I can talk to him in a good way." she whispered
He resumed eating. The taste of his dish. You can't lose your appetite. He only had three mouthfuls when he heard three knocks in a row.
"Wait!"
He stood up to go to the door. She opened the door and looked at her visitor. Suddenly his hands grew cold when he saw the tall man staring sharply at him.
"Got you woman." its strong promise
He quickly closed the door but Alexendris moved faster and pushed the door open. Celestine just backed away when Alexendris violently closed the door.
"K-I'll sue you! Trespassing to! Don't come near me." banta nya
He ignored her. He threw the attache case on his desk which he skipped. His eyes not leaving her.
"What if I tell you the same thing? I'll accuse you of entering my house and kneeling before me. Would you beg me not to?" its form is stern
"P-we can p-talk." he begs
He raised both his hands as if giving up but the young man continued to walk until he could get closer. It was tall for which he was grateful. She won't see his eyes. His eyes were on the young man's chest.
"How dare you kicked me?" its eyes are dark
"You insulted me!" his defense
His appearance became even more violent as if he was about to be torn apart.
"And where's the insult? Answer me!"
"T-that 'f' thing! S-do you think I'm going to hit you ?! I didn't type you so that's an insult!" he shouted too
The young man's red lips parted. The ferocity disappeared from its eyes as it turned into panic. It seemed impossible to believe what he said.
He hugged himself then backed away slightly. Alexendris saw it. Its eyes went blank before turning away. He walked over and sat on his sofa. He didn't know if he could breathe easily or not because it still wouldn't go away.
"Sit here. We're going to talk."
"A-what else to talk about-"
"Don't test my patience woman. If you don't want to be imprisoned." its sharp promise
He had no choice but to come over and sit on the single sofa next to it. He hugged himself.
"Talk."
"Huh?" he asked confused
Its blue eyes deepened. "Give me reason not to sue you woman."
Reason? He closed his eyes tightly to think of what he should say. The man still doesn't seem to be joking. What if he would really sue her?
HE LOOKED at the closed-eyed girl who he knew was thinking deeply. He take it as advantage to freely stare at her face. She's beautiful but she's more beautiful when closer.
"I am waiting ..." he promised
Alexendris doesn't have a really have long patience. He is easily bored especially the impatient. He needs answer right away.
"T-teka!"
This glare caused his eyes to meet. He held her gaze. Even though he knew it could be counted. He didn't bother looking away. The girl scratched her head.
"I don't have enough time for this Celestine." his authoritative reminder
"W-how did you know my name?" shocked by this question
"I'll give you one minute." Instead of answering. He gave it a countdown. He is getting bored.
"G-I'll do whatever you order in a month. I can't think of anything other than that." its hesitant answer
He remained void outside but he felt excitement. He liked what it said. A small smirk appear in his lips.
"Anything I want in one month?" He mumured. "Are you sure with that lady?"
He saw it swallowed. He arranged to sit on the sofa. He rest his one arm in the arm rest and pat his lap.
"If that's so, sit on my lap facing me Celestine. Prove to me your words."
