Courageous(Can i love again?)

Chapter 22

Keira's POV

He smirked at me when he found me staring at him so I immediately averted my eyes out of embarrassment.

"What are you doing?" I ask him politely while still staring at the ocean, not wanting to have another eye contact with this man.

"Putting a show" He said, I frown because of what he said and there is something I also felt, I kinda little.. hurt? I shrug.

"Okay" I replied. It's already sunset and it's so beautiful.

"Wow! It's so beautiful." I said with a smile while amazed at what I saw. I heard him chuckle and spoke.

"Yah it is" He said so I looked at him who was looking at me. I immediately avoided then I cleared my throat.

"I'm going inside. It's starting to get chilly out here" I said and I left beside him. I was hugging myself because the wind is starting to get cold, and I was only wearing a thin fabric.

While I was on my way to the cabin something caught my eyes so I suddenly stopped walking. It was a romantic dinner near the beach, it was so bright that's why I saw it. I didn't know if I was going or just leaving, so I decided not to go but someone grab my arm and drag me.

"What are you doing?" I asked him with an annoying voice, I can't shout at him because maybe someone is watching our actions here. I want to get rid of that person, but I'm scared that my mom will gonna suspect somethings wrong so I can't.

"We're having a dinner date. Can't you see?" He asks me while smirking.

"Tsk. I don't want to eat. I want to sleep already" I said with a tired voice. He stops walking and then faces me.

"You want your mom to suspect something?" He asks me again. I immediately shake my head like a kid. He smiled and said "Good. Now be a good girl and put your nasty ass in there and have dinner with me"

I rolled my eyes at him. I wanted to punch him or anything but I can't do it. I don't want my mom to worry about us. So as he said be a good girl. I just sat down to finish this already.

I heard him smirk again but decided to ignore it. The staff came with our food. The fact that I am really hungry and the smell of these foods makes me more hungry. I got some food and ate.

"You don't seem to have any appetite to eat" he said with a laugh. I just glared at him and ignored him.

After I ate I was really full so I smiled. I do have a diet, but I don't seem like to care for it right now.

"Are you full?" He asked me.

"Yeah. They have good food in here" I said then I take a sip of my wine. I think I already had three glasses so I stopped when I remembered what happened last time when I let myself get drunk.

"You want more wine?" He asked when he noticed I had dropped my wine glass.  I shake my head and said "No, I'm good. I don't want to get drunk again. Not with you." I said but whispered the last words.

"What?" He immediately asked when he didn’t hear properly the last thing I said.

"I said, I want to sleep," I said with a smile and got up to leave and walked towards the cabin then he spoke.

"Okay then" He said then stood up and approached me very close then spoke. "Let's go sleep together" He said with a smile, my eyes widened because of what he said, then suddenly he lifted me in a bridal style.

I was punching his chest and couldn't help I shouted at him.

"Put me down you pervert!!" I shouted at him while trying to get out of his hold on me. He just laughed at me ignoring my ranting and just kept walking. He's making me furious!

"I said, put me down!" I shouted at him again. Well guess what he really puts me down, or should I say he drop me on the ground. Yes, he dropped me and I was in so much pain.

"You really is a jerk, are you?" I said and was furious while staring badly at him.

"What? You said to me to put you down. So I did what you want" He said with a smirk. I stood up as I clean myself and faced him.

"Yes, can't you understand that? I said put me down. But you drop me idiot!" I said I feel like I'm reddish like a tomato right now because of so much anger I felt towards this man.

"What's the difference? I still put you down" He said again, my mouth opened but no words came out. I'm shaking because of so much annoyance towards this bullshit.

"You know what, forget it! There's no sense in me talking to someone like you. You're not worth it of my time." I said and turned away then walked away from him. I saw his jaw tense when I said that to him, he's angry? Well, guess what, I don't care!

When I entered, I immediately went to bed and sighed. Later I heard him enter as well. The bed shift and I know that's him. I am not okay with us sleeping together on the same bed. But today I had enough of him. I don't have the energy left to have a fight with him again.

"Keira, are you asleep?" He asks me, I didn't reply and pretend that I'm already sleeping.

When I didn't answer I felt him approach me and kiss me on the forehead before he said "Goodnight. And I'm sorry for what I did. I really am." And he lay down on his side.

I opened my eyes and tried to understand what this man really was. Sometimes he was a gentleman, sometimes sweet, but more often a jerk and a pervert. Such a moody.

Hours pass and still I'm wide awake, I can't sleep. I got up and looked at what time is it, it was already 2 am. I groan because no matter how sleepy I am I can’t really sleep.

Maybe I just need some fresh air. I get up then grab one of my coats because it's cold outside especially at this time. I slowly walked not wanting to wake him up, but before I left I couldn't help but to stare at him.

He's sleeping so peacefully. You can think that he's nice, but when he's just sleeping. He's sleeping shirtless and I can see his abs. I bit my lip unintentionally, then I came to my senses and shook my head. Did I just check him out while he's asleep? Omygosh Keira! Don't do that again! And then I went out.

Wow. The cold breeze of the wind welcomes me. I'm literally freezing but somehow it feels good. I'm starting to feel warm because I'm wearing a thick coat so I enjoy my walk even more. Then something caught my eyes.

It is the thing I really wished to see here.

Wow. Amazing.
