Ophelia

Chapter nineteen : ~ on the edge of a cliff ~

Ophelia Rivers POV

"Mmphh...mmphhh..let..mmmphh..go..of...me...mmphh" i protested.

I was getting kidnapped.

Oh god...this is not good.

I battled with all my strength, stirring constantly to wriggle out the kidnapper's hold.

"Leeave..mmphh..me..alone.." i waggled in all directions.

I was taken far from the fair and once we stepped in a quiet deserted territory, my kidnapper eased his grip on him.

" Relax, princess"

Princess ? I was too familiar with this nickname.

Only one would call me that.

" Zach? " i asked incredulously, turning around to look at him as he released his hands from me and wiping my mouth in the process.

" The one and only, princess " he smiled or rather grinned.

" What the heck is wrong with you ? You scared me for god's sake ! I thought it was someone kidnapping me " I ranted.

He laughed heartedly for a few seconds while I just glared at him, my hands resting on my hips.

" Am i amusing you ?" I raised my eyebrows.

The grin that was plastered on his perfectly handsome face faltered.
He strode my way, closing the distance separating us.
Reaching to my face, he brushed a rebel strand of my hair behind my ear.

" You have no idea. "

As usual, all i did was raise my eyes at him, meeting his gaze.
His stare was so intense that i couldn't help but stare back, completely getting lost in his captivating eyes.

Is it their grey color that got me so attracted? or is it that they held so much emotions that i was bewitched?
Either ways, i knew for sure that i was officially hooked.

That's exactly what bothered me.
In all romance books i have read, the good girl always ends up being hurt by the handsome bad boy.

I don't want to get hurt.

I don't want to start having feelings for Zach.

But whenever he's near me, whenever he touches me, whenever he sweet-talks to me, I'm charmed.
I'll have to admit that he's got an effect on me.

I should push those thoughts far, far in the deepest corners of my mind.

But...

Now, my mind is holding me off but my heart keeps pulling me.
I'm in deep trouble.

For the time , I'm going to take full advantage of this blissful moment.
I won't listen to any rational part of me, I'll just let myself go with what my heart dictates.

His eyes are boring into mine and mine into his.
It's as if a spell fell on us, we were silent but our eyes spoke so much words, so much hidden messages, so much emotions..if only he knew how much he affected me.

" Tell me, then" i requested, never breaking our eye contact.

" I can't. " he shortly replied, his lips slightly twitching upwards.

" Why?" i asked in confusion at the sudden change of mood.

" If i tell you right now, i would ruin everything. " he said, smiling.
That smile that took breaths away.

" Ruin what exactly ?"

Zach didn't respond. Instead, he took my hand in his, raising it to his lips and pecking it softly.
My heart stopped beating as i eyed him.
