She is his. That's what he has beleived since the first time he saw her. He knew she was made for him.
She didn't knew what life has in store for her or more precisely what he has in store for her.
He has a full proof plan to make her his.
And no o...
Why hasn't she said anything yet?? But it's good for me I might have been in big trouble if she had questioned me immediately but now that I got enough time to think I came up with a response. I just hope it works.
I cleared my throat to get her attention. She looked at me and smiled warily at me "Why do you think I should have finished it a long time ago?". Finally she threw the question.
I scrunched my eyebrows feigning confusion "because I finished it a long time ago, so I just thought you did too".
"Oh" she muttered. The expression of wary might have lessened a bit but she still looks suspicious.
"Yes that should be the case" she muttered. Is she talking to herself??
"Are you alright princess??"
"Yeah, let's continue" she said without looking at me and focused on the tv again. But somehow I got the feeling that this isn't over yet. I have messed up too many times today it's only natural of her to be suspicious now. She isn't stupid, I should have been more cautious. Fuck me.
So I also pretended to watch tv as I can clearly see that she was also pretending. Her eyes were trained on tv but her mind was elsewhere, and I knew where. Which is dangerous for me, if she thinks too much a lot of questions will arise in mind and I don't think she'll beleive whatever I say.
But you know what I am prepared for anything because this is the girl I want who doesn't believe everything I say. I never wanted someone who will beleive whatever the other person says and never uses her own mind.
So when I decided to make her mine, I knew what I was getting myself into. And I am prepared to play by her rules and still win.
"So you are also into anime" she finally broke her silence and now she was looking at me and smiling brightly. God she is here with a purpose, she is going to try to get answers from me and my job is to give answers which can satisfy her at the same time not give me away.
"Yeah I am, infact Bleach was my third anime and I finished it already that is why you know I said you did too" I said and tried to cover the earlier mistake again. Buy it dammit.
"So which one was your first?" She questioned again with an interested face, she is really interested now, I can tell. But I know she haven't given up on getting answers.
"Attack on Titan, which one was yours??" I need to engage her in a real conversation so that she can forget about getting answers. Because let's state facts here I wasn't aware of anime's existence until I met Hope. When one day my PI gave me info that she is really into something called anime, I had to check it out. And they were real good. Attack on Titan was actually my first anime this is no lie.
"Mine was Hunter X Hunter"
"Oh I never tried that one they were all kids" as soon as I said that she narrowed her eyes at me.
"Don't you say anything about Killua he might be a kid but he is strong. You should give it a try" she said her mood lightening up at the end.
"Sure" I nodded.
"So you knew I am into anime??" She now questioned what she wanted to know all along.
"Maybe, because I think of you as my soulmate" I winked at her to which she rolled her eyes and I continued " but I didn't knew for sure I just wished that you were into anime and my wish came true" I smirked at her.
But she smirked back and moved her whole body in my direction, positioning her arm on the back of couch she said "oh really but I thought you already knew, since you know you seem to know a lot about me".
"What's so strange about that, let me tell you something Miss Simons" I moved closer to her "I love you" there I said it. I paused to take a look at her reaction and her eyes were wide like saucers but I wasn't done yet "and it's my responsibility to know about likes and dislikes of the person I love, and I made you my priority Hope. So getting to know you is also my priority" I finished and taking a last look at her bewildered face I moved back to give her some space to breath.
After sometime she pursued her lips and gave me a dirty glare "You are delusional you don't love me, love takes time and you just haven't known me long enough to be in love with me. And even if you are in love with me the way you described it right now, that's not how love works Mr Shaw".
"Oh really have you ever fallen in love Ms Simon's??"
"What me? No I haven't I..." I cut her off.
"Then how would you know princess, the feelings of a person in love and" I took a strand of her hair in my hand and twirled it "it was love at first sight for me" I said admiring her features her eyes were casted downwards her long eye lashes touching her cheeks and I saw the heat rising to her cheeks at my confession.
But she swatted my hand and created some space between us "I know enough" she said.
"Sure we'll see when you'll fall in love with me" I said.
"And who said I'll fall in love with you??"
"I am working on it ain't I and I think you are halfway there" I smirked.
"In your dream Mr Shaw" she huffed.
I didn't say anything after that I just kept staring at her the way her facial expression changed, how she was biting her lips then suddenly heat rushed to her cheeks again and she said without looking in my direction " stop.. stop staring at me" she was looking embarassed, then she shyly tucked her hair behind her ear and continued "and you cannot just say that you... Umm you know ... you just shouldn't say it on the first date" she was avoiding my eyes. How fucking cute and then she says I can't fall in love with her, man I just fell in love with her for the nth time. How can she be like that and not expect people to fall in love with her.
"Hope I wish you could see yourself from my eyes and realise how it was inevitable to fall in love with you. And my love for you, it has reached that state that if you want I can announce it publicly tomorrow. And no matter how much I want to announce it to the world I won't because I know you don't want me to"I poured my heart out to her. It wasn't in my plan for today but I am not complaining at all being able to express my feelings to her, nothing can make me more happy.
She gasped "you will not do any such thing Eric".
"I won't, not unless you want me to" I nodded. I went closer to her, took her hands in mine and placed them in my lap "Hope do you trust me? If there is even a tiny bit of doubt in your heart that I will hurt you, tell me please I will do everything in my power to make that doubt go away. I just want you to know that you will always be my first priority" I said caressing her hands in my lap. I was afraid what if she doesn't trust me? But I need to know because I don't want her to think that I can ever hurt her if have some doubts I will clear them as soon as possible so I asked again "Tell me Hope do you trust me??".
