FATES WILL

CHAPTER 24: confession came with regection

Lexis POV;

I can't believe I did that. So he really isn't gay. This is so awkward, and why the heck did I stutter.

He wouldn't get rid of me out of annoyance right? Well I'm not going down without a fight.

After gathering much courage I looked up at him, only to be stunned by the curvature of his lips.

He's smiling?

Shouldn't he be mad right now?

"You seem to have a lot of misunderstandings about me, why don't we clear that up?"

A lot? Isn't it just me thinking your gay?

Of course I didn't dare to voice that out! "Uh..sure." seriously! I feel like I'm unable to communicate well in front of this guy.

"Since that thing is cleared up, let's clear up your other big misunderstanding." He looked at me, serious written on his face in bold! Oh come on, since when was this guy so talkative. Drea lied to me!

I didn't get to immerse myself more in my thoughts, as he continued.

"You always thought I wanted romance advice from you. That's not it tho." Ok this piqued my interest.

"I just wanted to know your opinion of me, cause from the first time I saw you, I was captivated by you, although I didn't want to admit it at that time."

I was frozen! Wait, he must be lying! "The first time we met, you basically ignored my greeting!" I said pressing hard on my words.

"I said the first time I saw you, which was a week before that. Near this café. You were leaving at that time. You didn't see me tho. As for ignoring you, I never did that, I was just too mesmerized looking at you that..I didn't realize when you spoke to me."

He's blunt!

Wait, is that...is he..blushing? Pft...guess I'm not the only one who has a red face right now.

But seriously, I couldn't respond to him for a while. This hot mafia boss, Alessandro Alfonso...he..he.. just confessed to me!

This isn't the first time I was confessed to. It never affected me before. So why is my heart beating so fast right now? I realized I didn't really hate the idea of being with him. I actually wanted to give this a chance.

I was just about to respond when he spoke again.

"So Alexis Dennis..will you do me the honours of being my girlfriend?"

That's right! He doesn't even know my real last name. He doesn't know the real me. He probably wouldn't think the same if he knew, would he?

I felt like a deflated balloon right now. Looking at his hopeful eyes, I felt my eyes turning red for no reason.

"I'm sorry." That's all I was able to say before turning to leave.

He caught my wrist before I could actually go. I didn't have the guts to look back at him. I felt a little guilty. Damn it!

"I didn't expect a positive answer from the very beginning really. But, this won't make me give up. I'm telling you now, I'm going to chase you..until you say yes. So don't think you can get rid of me so easily."

I was surprised really. This guy..is he seriously so different from rumours. Looking at his ever frozen...wait mostly frozen features, I couldn't help the smile that blossomed on my face.

"Well..give it your best try then." I can tell..he was surprised by my reply.

I turned and left before he came back to himself.

Maybe..just maybe..if your so persistent..I might change my mind.

That's it for this week guys. See what happens next on the next chapter. Hope you enjoyed it.
