Chapter 140: Confession
Amaris's POV
My body shook with a sensation that sent cold running down my spine as I went speechless.
A crackling scoff escaped my lips as I avoided his gaze.
"You're so full of yourself and that's your downfall!" I mused fuming my heart as it felt for a moment he was reading through me.
He placed his hands on my legs, lean his face forward and his breath fanned the crown of my head.
I was shivering, tensed and trying to swallow when he said;
"That's my charm"
I widened my eyes as I felt his lips on my forehead and he lowered those eyes to look at me.
A cocky smile hung on his lips and I followed his eyes which settled on my hands.
Fuck! I'm holding on to his shirt.
I couldn't hold myself back, wanting him to kiss me, my body was reacting to his subtle touch and i couldn't breath.
He placed his arms around my waist, drawing closer to his chest.
"But I don't mind...I could grant you that wish" he whispers and my cheeks turned red, unable to take any of his words again as he was addictive.
His eyes, there was just something about it that draws me. A soft sigh left my lips and I searched his eyes.
"No Caleb" I mutters as I breath slowly, fingers trail behind me as we inhaled softly.
"Are you sure about that?" He whispers, one that sent lust surging through me.
Maybe I was drunk but I can't recall drinking. My lips were trembling and all I could think of was this man right in front of me.
"No" I whispered back ducking my head away from him as I ran my fingers through my hair and he let out a broader smile.
"Stop restraining yourself amaris, you miss my touch"
I swallowed hard, this isn't happening, I was about to freak out, pleading with him in my heart that he should kiss me, ruin me and just make me his.
However, he pulled back and suddenly stood up from where he sat. My eyes were on him as he had stood tall, my hands were forced to leave his shirt and I found myself lost in wonders.
"You can spend the night here..."
"And leave my colleagues to wonder if something is going on between us? Nah" i quickly muttered even though I didn't want to take my ass up from where I sat.
"They can talk, it's a free world" he coldly muttered stretching his hand forward for me to grab.
I snickered not wanting to give him my hand but he grabbed my wrist, jerked me up and carried me in his arms.
"You should watch the nightsky from here, it's beautiful" he whispers as my body glued to his chest.
I couldn't resist, I couldn't say no but just let him walk me towards his balcony. He placed me gently on the ground and I leaned on the rail, something to hold on to.
I was staring at him and it seems as though he noticed because his eyes spark with a mischievous glint.
"You can lean on me though" he muttered with a soft voice that almost sent me biserk and I only gulped with a growl at him.
I rolled my eyes to the sky and the view was breathtaking. It felt as though I was staring at a magical land from up here.
"Wow, you got yourself this beautiful view!" I commented with a bright smile.
"Yeah right, beautiful things are just meant for me"
I smirked at him and shook my head while folding my arms.
"Your office then felt like a home, why did you decide to stay in cranky one as ours?" I questioned and he moved closer to me, I didn't want to look because I was certain I won't let him go.
"It's you, amaris, I don't mind staying in a slump, as long as I get to see you everyday"
I shuddered, mixed emotions flooded me as folded my fingers together to hide how nervous I was.
"You aren't interested in me, so you said" i shyly replied and he shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm thinking of my next movie lines and can you believe it amaris, her name is same as yours"
Lies.
He wasn't any damn actor and he couldn't even lie. I guess he knows I knew the truth but I only heaved.
"I'm being serious, should I show you?" He said, so persistent that I almost believed.
"I don't want to because you don't even act!"
"What? During my prime I was a celebrity, every entertainment industries wanted me signed up for them"
I brawl at him and shook my head like a disappointed mother.
"I guess those industries are blind"
He scoffed, throwing his hands in the air, looked to and fro and said;
"You were my biggest fan!"
"Me? Never, even if there was a life before now, I guess I would have been your nemesis"
He was suddenly silent as pulled his face forward, so close that I tend to forget myself again.
"Then I must be the villian who would burn the world to get you"
I opened and closed my mouth, my eyes flutters as my face grew pale. I rolled my eyes to hide the excitement on my face.
"Seriously, you're bad at the role" I said, barely above a whisper because his line was fucking impressive and making my heart throbs.
"I'm being serious, why do you like arguing!" He snapped like a worked up kid trying to convince his mom about something.
"Then let me tell you the truth I'm daughter of the president" I assumed and he widened his eyes.
"Seriously?"
I nodded finding it bizzare with how serious he looks.
"Wow, I'm fortunate to meet you then princess" he assumed with a bow.
"Well, for your humility, I'd charge my father to give you a hearing" I responded, playing along and having fun.
"I thought we agreed he'd let me steal you from you?"
