Black and White

Chapter 23~Confided Confessions

The sound of his voice resonates deep within me, sending a cascade of shivers down my body. Each word he speaks causes my heart to quicken its pace, the palpitations echoing in my chest.

As much as I love this position, I push him off me hastily.

"What the hell is wrong with you Jamie?"I snap.

He looks taken aback by my action but quickly masks it up with a breathtaking smile that warms my heart.

"A lot of things Cassie and you happen to be one of them" he winks.

I scoff "Yeah, right"

"Don't ever lay hands on me as you just did, the next time I will slap you" I snap.

What's wrong with me?

"Oh, you want to pretend you didn't like it?" he asked his eyes mocking me.

"Get out of my face," I say harshly walking the other way, he comes in front blocking my view.

"Is your ear hurting, or are you deaf? I said get out- out of -my -face" I say emphasizing the word slowly.

"Not gonna happen, baby, I want to talk to you," he says moving closer to me.

The rain is still pouring heavily and I am soaking wet, I won't be surprised if I catch a cold.

"Come here," he said huskily pulling me without warning under the shades.

"Let go of me" I whine detangling myself from his tight grip.

"You are so stubborn, do you know that?" he hissed.

"Honestly I don't care what you think about me" I roll my eyes.

"I have to get back to work now,"

"Your boss says you can stay here one hour, I discuss it with him"

"What?, Why?"

"I want to talk to you and this is important"

"No, I don't want to talk to you it's that clear enough"I snap.

"Well, I will say want to talk to me because if you didn't you won't come out here and I have been watching you, you were looking for me" he smirks.

Damn! His good.

"Let me ask you a question, you want to go inside which is a waste of time after you came to see me beautiful" he came closer then he put his hand on my cheek.

Something rushes all over my body and it feels familiar.

He is astonished I don't pull away or push him, I will have but I am too weak to do so.

In the next sentence, he says makes my eyes go wide.

"Stop fighting us, Cassandra, I know you want me as I want you, stop fighting your feelings, ever since I set my eyes on you I haven't stopped thinking about you even right now, my heart beats for you, being close to you now is the best thing that has happened to me for a long time," he says softly caressing my cheek.

I look away from him, not wanting him to see how much he affected me with his words.

We can't deny our feelings for each other, he stares at me like I am the most precious thing he has ever laid his eyes on.

I stay silent for a while, lost in thoughts.

The rain has come down making a pitter-patter sound on the rooftop of the shade we are under and I can hear Jamie talking but his voice is deranged by the rain.

I snapped out of my thoughts when he was an itch away from my lips.

"I know you are surprised and afraid, I have strong feelings for you and want to get to know you from there we see what the future holds for us, please Cassandra would you be my girlfriend?"He gazes at me his grey eyes piercing into my pleading me.

I finally spoke after a very long time, I was just tongue-tied as usual anything I am with him, I am always tongue-tied.

"Yes Jamie, I will," I say breathlessly.

Jamie smiles proudly and he holds my cheek in his large palms."That is a very good answer baby, I promise you won't regret it"

"Do you know you are the most beautiful woman I have laid my eyes on, where have you been all my life?"Jamie mumbles caressing my cheek.

My eyes closed briefly because I love the way he is caressing them.

He sucks in a breath, which makes my eyes flutter open.

He pulls away for me and I raise my eyebrow in question.

He stares hard at me and says "I am sorry, but when you do like that I can't control myself when I am around you, it makes me want you more"

Can someone save me from this guy?

I need CPR urgently

Does he think he is the only one finding it difficult to breathe?

Jamie's POV

I can't help myself and she doesn't know what she is doing to me.

How will she?

She is so innocent, beautiful, and hot in every way.

I don't want to rush into things and I don't even want to scare her away.

I just got her attention and she agreed to be my girlfriend.

I am the luckiest man on earth.

This is the first step and the second step is for her to become my wife, swollen with my children cooking in our dream house.

Calm down

Not this time

Going on a date with someone means you are the person's boyfriend or girlfriend but ladies don't see it that way.

This is partially true, if you don't pop the question you are not official.

As for me, when she said yes to being my girlfriend in my mind we were already official no matter what.

I can't tell her that not now though.

I hope she doesn't freak out when she finds out I did some refresh about her.

I know I am a stalker, and I accept it however this sweet angel can't be taken by someone else when I am right in front of her.

I recall the first day we met in a bad situation, I was pissed.

I guess fate brought us together each time.

I can't control myself anymore, I abruptly move to where she is standing still looking at me.

I hold her cheek and crash my lips on hers.
