His Bet

Chapter Twenty

Ace

"Maybe I just want to escape from the cruel world out there with you." He answered.

Wait, what?!

I don't know what to say or how to react so I bowed my head down while I pick with my fingers. Why? Why me? What's his gesture all about? I know he's gazing at me. I felt that the blanket budged so I lift my head and instantly his face is now in front of me. I gulped because of the intensity of his stare just like he's eyeing me like a piece of meat. He always stare at me with that two ways, it's either with that impassive reaction or with intense look that I couldn't make anything out from that.

"What's going on your head Kitty?" He whispered I can even feel his minty breathe fanning on my cheeks. My chest suddenly felt tight with this anonymous feeling, my throat also felt dry.

"I..I was just thinking.. Why?" I stare at him straight in his eyes to read his reactions and also to know if its real. There must be something, this can't be happening.

"Are we going to argue like a couple again right now?" He smiled.

"Are you in fun with me or something?" I boldly asked.

"That's cruel." He answered his smile nowhere to be found. Dang. Did I just offend him?

I didn't say anything instead I look back in the lake. Letting the peacefulness of this place consume me. After all that happened in my entire life, I tried very hard to avoid this kind of scenario. I don't know exactly why Brix is acting like this towards me. It confuses me. He gave an anonymous throbbing feeling to my chest and crunching feeling on my stomach that until now I couldn't decipher what it is. Sometimes I feel nervous towards his intense gaze and when he touch me.. I couldn't even describe that stupid feeling. A while ago he just visited me and confessed right in my face that he wants me. I wasn't still able process it and here he is now, doing his stunts again. I can't understand. Everything about him is like a missing puzzle that I couldn't get to complete. This felt so uneasy and uncomfortable to be in. 

"Kitty.." I still don't know why he calls me that funny nickname. Do I look like a cat?

"Aren't you saying anything?" He added. Oh.. So he's expecting me to say anything about what he said. I turned back my gaze at him as he stare back at me. 

"I'm not really good into this. So can you just please go exactly straight to the point?" I honestly asked.

His mouth open but then again close it. He was contemplating what to say I can see his having a hard time to explain.

"I already told you about it earlier." He paused for a while searching through my eyes asking permission of something he's not saying yet.

I waited for him to continue.

"I want you." He breathed out.

"Why?" I asked instantly crossing my arms to my chest suddenly feel cold about what he said.

What the fuck is that?

The crunching feeling inside my stomach started again. Ohh common in what am I into.

"Why do you have always to search for something? I mean.. When you want something.. Do you really have the reason why you like it? Or it's just in nature that you like it though you don't know the exact reason?" So to make it short.. He want me just because. Period.

"You know what? I'm not getting it. Sorry but I guess you should want somebody else. Thanks for the lift but I gotta go." I almost ramble that standing and getting out from his horizon. I walk away keeping my pace quick not giving him a chance to run for me. Fuck it! What was that?
