Chapter 114: When I see your Face
Amaris's POV
I drew the curtains aside, with a dull look and wistfully looking at the window. I tried to look fresh, not to arouse questions.
The bruises on me, I did a good job to cover them up with makeup, like I expected any better ending up with my emotionless boss.
My mind was calm and only one person I wish to see in the field.
I felt exhausted, weak and embittered. It was obvious, Caleb was the center of it all.
Is this his way of love? I rubbed my arms together, feeling so cold. My eyes feasting on every moving thing downstairs and all I could think of is my life with Caleb.
My thoughts got distracted when I felt something soft hit my face.
I winced as I furrowed my brows and then I looked straight ahead. It was Flynn.
"Shit, I never thought it'd get to you, so you mind giving it back?" He said and I frown.
"Where's your apology? You almost ripped my head off!" I pointed out and he rolled his eyes.
"I'm sorry princess, can I have it now?" He squeezed out of his lips. His eyes brighten as his cold face melts me softly that I could hear my heart pump fast.
I moved back inside the room and realized it was a ball. My feet took me back to the balcony and I leaned on the rail.
"Are you still a kid or what?" I questioned, intrigued to talk.
"If I get to see your face everyday, I don't becoming a kid" he responded and i was flattered that a wry smile left my lips.
"Care to play, the island some really interesting place princess"
I rolled my eyes with an expression of contempt. I haven't left this room one moment for fear of avoiding Caleb even though he burst in anytime he wants.
I folded my lips and shook my head to reject it.
"Fine, then, I'd just abduct you" he said and I scoffed as I couldn't believe this is the stony, emotionless and cruel Flynn speaking.
Did he fall in love with me over some crazy flip? I bet he did that on purpose just to get closer to me.
I blushed but when the thought of Caleb came in mind, everything gave room for darkness.
"Certainly Caleb's bothering you, get a break amaris, I'd protect you" he assured as though reading my every thought and I licked my lower lip again, feeling intense and contemplating if this would be the right decision.
"Don't keep this lonely knight waiting" he reminded as I clutch the ball to my chest, calling him ridiculous while I raced downstairs to meet him outside the field.
His jaw dropped as I drew closer making me feel weird.
"You're always beautiful from up close, I guess Caleb has a charm for the prettiest" he complimented and I smirked at him.
I threw the ball on his chest and inhaled softly while my eyes scruntized the vast field that seems to bury us both.
My body had goosebumps as his hot gaze were on me that I felt uncomfortable.
"Locking yourself up won't help" he suddenly said and threw the ball back at me.
I gave him no response as I certainly knew what he means.
"Should I kill him for you?" He furthered and I widened my eyes at him, unbelievably.
He sounded creepy and I must say, I missed his threatening words. It's been a week without seeing each other after we fucked.
"He's my husband" I reminded shoving my finger at his face and he grunt, getting pissed off.
"Is that why you're avoiding me? Because you feel guilty about last..."
"Please let's not talk about that" I cut in wanting to forget the moment and accepting it as a punishment.
I threw the ball back at him and he grabbed it while spinning it with a finger and keeping a fixed eyes at me.
He was making me lose my mind as I kept fluttering my eyes, rubbing my neck and my feet went numb.
The weather was cold, the wind twirling dried leaves over us and leaving freshness on our skin.
"Care to share?" He suddenly asked, like a therapist and I scoffed. He was just one mysterious and charming guy that i'd want to know more about.
He has a forlorn gaze at me, obviously, his eyes weren't lying, they had this worried look, a grief that he tries to hide.
Who knows he had this soft spot? I rejected that again and then he said;
"If I tell about mine, then you'd tell about yours"
Gosh, he was so persistent and I couldn't refuse that. If only I could have this version of Caleb.
"Deal" i accepted, giving in the his resilient act. He let out a smile and he was drop dead gorgeous.
His intimidating statue suits him perfectly that I couldn't help but drink every features and details on him.
I wished he'd slam that lips of his on mine and make me forget Caleb for a minute.
However, he wouldn't because he feels I have regrets over what we did. I don't regret it, I swear it.
He threw the ball at me and I could catch it this time which exites me as I jumped like a child.
He grimanced at me and raised a thumb up like a proud older brother and I smiled broadly.
"Come with me" he declared and gulped hard, going through a lot of calculations in my head if to actually follow this man.
"Hope I'd be safe" I questioned not trusting the men of this family. He seems frozen for a moment.
His eyes scanned me and then he straightened his face and cleared his throat as though gone through series of thoughts to arrive at one answer.
"I can't guarantee you that but not to have nightmares of you, I'd try" Flynn said in a cold tone that made him sound so serious but unrealistic.
What's there? I've been to worst case scenarios and I'd handle Flynn. So I thought...
