The Siren In Me

Chapter 21: Forgive and Forget?

I woke up to the sound of my door opening. The pair of blue eyes I didn't want to see was starring at me,with his arms crossed. I squint my eyes to glare at him,but I couldn't,due to the headache I have given myself from the crying. So I just stared at him,blankly.

"Good morning." Emby says,as if nothing happened yesterday. Yesterday was a dream that turned into a nightmare at the end of it. Have you ever had those kind of dreams? That just turn into nightmares before you wake up. That's how awesome,yet awful yesterday was for me.

"So,you're not gonna say anything to me?" He asks,a little worried. I just stare up at him,emotionless.

My dried tears must be visible because he stares at them,before looking back at m eyes. My face showed no emotion,but my eyes showed a mixture of them.

I don't feel sad. I don't feel mad. 

I feel heartbroken. I feel devastated.

He must be reading my thoughts because he takes a step closer to me. I start to choke up when he did that. I wanted him to do that. How foolish was that?

He keeps coming closer,a worried expression on is face. I smirk at that;thinking why he should be worried. We're not together,so what;s the point.

When he was just about close,I broke the silence.

"Stop." Please 

He stopped. At least this time he listened to me.

"Zia,please let me explain."

I laugh at his face. Bitterly,I should say. It was every line a guy used on a girl before they break up,or sometimes even make-up .

"Fine. Do the best you can do." I replied.

This should be good.. 

He sighed and began,"I only kissed Delilah because she knows my darkest secret."

I raise my eyebrow. Another secret? 

"Is it so bad that even I can't know?" I questioned. "Yes." He stated.

I sighed in frustration. How did she even find out this so-called secret? 

"We were in love. At least I know I loved her;but after she found out my secret,she used it against me."

Wow,someone is actually controlling the jerk.. 

He smiled sheepishly and moved closer to me. I still didn't believe him,at least half of me didn't.

Dang me and my pride. 

"How do I know you aren't lying to me?" I disputed. Another of of his tricks,so I can be lured in and broken again. I sniff at the thought.

"I'm not lying to you this time. For some reason; I feel different around you. I don't like being the bad dude that wants to kill you. I want to be something good in your life."

I look at his eyes,only to find them sincere.

My mother always said give people second chances because the first one will never be the best one. Their true side sometimes are in the second chance;you just have to make sure it's right people

And I think he's the right person.

He smiles at me. That cute,pleasant smile I really love to look at. It's so contagious,it makes me want to forgive him right now.

"Then why don't you?"

You need to end things with her,if you want me. I thought. I knew that was unfair,but seriously? I'm not gonna be some bimbo he wants whenever.

His smile is gone; it turned into a pained expression.

"Zia,I can't do that..."

I blow a piece of hair out of my face,to show how frustrated I am. It ends up landing on my face again. I was about to blow it again,when Emby puts it behind my ear. Then he caresses my cheek in his hand. I wanted to move away,but I couldn't. Instead my cheeks turned a light shade of red.

He smirked a bit and chuckled when he saw my cheeks,which only led them to turn red even more.

"Stop making it hard to stay mad at you." I stated.

He sighed,dropping his hand only to land of my lap. I look at him,glaring.

My cheeks are even more red than before..

His smirk came back again,only to grow wider. I gulp. He puts his other hand on my lap. I gulp again.

Emby moves his hands up and down my thighs,until I shake them off. 

"You can't expect me to forgive you that easily after what I saw yesterday."

Emby looked at me for a second,and then snapped his fingers. "I got an idea!"

"I can finally shower?" I almost screeched.

"No,well,yes you can,but I'm also taking you out." Like a...

"We're going on a date?" I blinked.

"You'll love it,I promise. Let me make this the most spectacular day of your life to show you how sorry I am." He looked serious.

After a few moments, I answered yes. His face was filled with so much glee when I said it. But tat's not the only thing he did.

"I also wanted to do this." Emby gently pulled me up so I was standing with my back on the wall. He put his hands on either side of my face and smirked.

"Are you going to do what I think you're going to do?" I questioned him. He nodded,as he looks down at my lips,then back to my eyes.

I smirked,moving my hands to touch his hair. Emby stiffened,when he noticed my wrists were red form the handcuffs.

"I can't  believe I did this to you." He whispered.

With a reassuring smile I said," It wasn't you,it was your cuffs." He didn't seem better about it,still.

Emby got the get out of his pocket,and unlock the cuffs. I rub my wrist before touching his face and his hair. He put my hands on my waist this time.

"Now," I smirked again,"where were we?" He did a mischievous smirk and kissed me.
