Enthrall Me (𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒅) [ON HOLD]

Chapter 17 | Nice Name

"Also to what I remember..." He breaks the silence, forcing me out of my trance as I apace bring my gaze up to look at him.

"You didn't seem to..."

"Want to let go of me last night..."

"But instead seemed to be very fervent about it." He tilts his head slightly to a side and strokes his wet, lustrous brown hair, flipping it to a side as his mouth twists into a grin.

I stand mute with my feet glued to the ground, my mouth ajar and I immediately slam them shut, trying hard not to divert my eyes to his shirtless body as it keeps tempting me to take a quick peek in my peripheral vision.

"I- I was drunk!" I try to defend my actions, gesticulating my hands aimlessly.

He cracks up laughing and disturbs the placid air as I do nothing but scowl my face at him.

"You sure was, love."

After he says that, I swear my cheeks are ablaze as I'm literally blushing intensely in front of him!

So I have to do something to distract him and I out of such awkwardness.

Suddenly, Keith crosses my mind...

"So ho- how did it go with him?" I toss out a question, changing the subject.

"With who?" He creases his eyes.

"My ex."

"Hmm..."

"He ran away." He says after thinking for a moment.

"Oh..."

I mean it's quite hard to believe that Keith would run away.

Why would he run away seeing that?

...

Quietness soon fills the room as I change my postures multiple times under his gaze. Neither of us utters a word.

I really hate silence.

"Erm..." I hum, earning his attention as my mind frantically searches for something to cast out along the way.

...

"Wh- who is Jolene?" I ask as I remember about the pajamas I'm wearing, clearing my throat.

"Someone is jealous?" He teases.

"I'm... I'm just curious." I exclaim and shoot him a confident stare.

But yeah I do feel quite uneasy about that Jolene girl...

"She's just one of my members." He shrugs.

"Oh..." I utter.

Just a member, is there anything more or...?

Okay, girl stop-

...

"Well, thanks for everything I guess?" I continue as I fondle my wavy hair bashfully, playing with my locks, trying to relieve my anxiety.

"Um..."

"What's your name?" I ask and grit my teeth, eagerly wanting to discover the name of this mysterious man, at the same time breaking the silence.

"You know..." He drones under his breath lowly, tearing his eyes off mine as he tilts his head downward, diverting his gaze to his body.

Reflexively, my gaze also does the same seeing him do that.
