Clash Of Hearts

Chapter 6: Let's just call this a truce

*Ellie's POV*

"What?!" I covered my left ear from Nica. She was going hysterical when I told her everything. And when I say everything, it would mean from me damaging Scott's Red Porsche to that Kevin Davis sending me a bouquet of flowers and chocolates.

Nica has been basically shouting "what's" and "oh my god's" since I began talking. That's somewhat annoying right? But what can I do? That's just really her and she's my sole bestfriend anyway.

"Yes Nics. You heard me right." I affirmed calmly.. resting my head on the palm of my hands on the table.

We are in Starbucks right now. We were supposed to chill out and have fun here. But it turned out a disaster when I spilled the beans to my bestfriend. She doesn't actually know how to calm. So, yeah.

"Oh my god, El." Oh not again.

"Seriously Nics? You've been saying what's and oh my god's for the hundredth time now."

Nica rolled her dark bluish violet eyes at me and raised both of her hands in surrender.. "I'm sorry, Okay? I just–– I just don't know what to say. I'm out of words."

"Well.. I can't blame you.. I've been––"

"Ellie, let's go." My words were instantly cut off when the guy who just entered grabbed me in my wrist..

Scott?!

"Are you out of your mind?!" I forcefully pulled my wrist back.. "I was talking and you just grabbed me like I'm just a piece of talking paper.. oh my goodness! Where are your manners Scott?!"

I was furious because I hate his guts, really.. but I was more furious of myself because the moment Scott held me, I got this unwelcomed currents of electricity that's making me pant so damn hard.

"Ellie, you have to come with me. We have to talk."

I wonder how he easily makes this pleading look of him. I bet those girls would give up everything just to see this kinda face of Scott.

And here I am again. Gawking at him. Seriously?

"You can talk to me here. Can't you see? I'm with Nica. I can't go elsewhere. I can't leave her here."

"Dean's coming. He'll fetch Nica here. Right Nics?"

Nica looked at us simultaneously and gave her usual apollogetic smile at me... "Yeah."

And it's my turn now to roll my eyes.

---------

"Where exactly are we going?" were my first words ever since I entered Scott's own customized ferrari.

"So you know how to speak." He remarked. Almost laughing. Ah. So he finds this amusing huh.

"I do not like to repeat my question."

Then Scott burst out laughing.

"You have PMS?" He said in between his laughs. Ugh! He's really annoying! "We're going in my place."

"What?!"

"I do not like to repeat what I've just said." He turned to me with a wide grin before accelerating the speed of the car.

I decided to shut my mouth back, calming my nerves down since I don't wanna hear his sarcastic comebacks. He's such a proud and annoying guy. He's got good looks yeah but he's such a bigtime d-bag too.

He often asked me nonsense questions like do I like cheese or do I play dumb ways to die and even asked me if I've ever watched a porn! I just gave him a disgusting look and never bothered to answer him.

Ha! Serves you right Maxwell.

After a few turns, we arrived at his place.

"You live in a condo?" I was shocked. They're rich and the Maxwells were known to have lots of properties and real estates all over New York. I bet they have countless mansions too.

"Yeah. I just want privacy." He answered shortly before grabbing me with him.

"Hey! I can't go with you inside!"

"This won't take long okay?"

"Are you crazy? You're al––"

I was taken aback when he carried me all the way through the elevator like a sack of nuts!

"Hey! Put me down you jerk!" I struggled and punched his back to get away from him.

Aaah! He's such an idiot! This is very humiliating!

"Stop it Ellie or else I'll drop you with your head first on the floor!"

Few minutes after, he opened his door and deposited me inside, right on the couch.

"I will kill you!"

"Geez! Stop shouting okay? I'm not gonna hurt you." He said before going to the kitchen, getting something.

"What do you want from me Scott?"

He took big strides and sat on his feet right in front of me, grabbing my hands to his.

Oh my god. What is he doing?

"Look, I'm sorry for what happened back in the gym where I asked you to get my notes. I didn't anticipated that to happen. You, KD and––"

He paused, sighed and tucked a lose strand of my hair making my heart go wild in crazy.. he affects me so much that I could barely control my sanity.

"I'm really sorry, El..."

I moved back, removing my hands from his. Trying to calm my senses. "It's fine. Really. Are we done talking? Can I go now?" I answered fast, eyes blinking around the room.

"Not yet."

He moved closer grabbing my right arm slowly, folding my cardigan upwards.

"What are you doing?! Awww!"

"See? Your bruises don't look good. These would leave some unwanted marks on your skin. And I don't like my guilt to eat me up so please, just cooperate. This won't take long."

"Scott, I said it's fine! You don't have to this!"

"No! I insist."

"You know what? Let's just call this a truce. Forget what I've done to your Porsche and I'll forget about that busting and that KD too. Okay?"

The look on his eyes was indescribable. Did I say the wrong words?

"That KD is a bastard. Stay away from him."

"I can perfectly handle myself! Didn't you know that I do taekwondo?"

I was talking so damn fast. I wanted to get away from here right now! My heart was pounding so loud inside my chest. His touch was sending unfamiliar tingles in my whole body. I cannot tolerate this anymore. His presence is making me weak.

"You do not know that Kevin Davis. He will use you Ellie. You're not safe. Beginning today, you're not going anywhere without me."

What did he just say?
