We Could Be In Love (English)

Chapter 30~ Face off

Alexis' POV

"Good morning sleepy head." A heart melting voice greeted me as I opened my eyes. Shocked ruled over my face when my eyes met his gaze. I found him sitting on my bed next to me, watching me asleep. His eyes were flickering. His face was even as bright as that day, making my soul lost in the reverse.

"Hmmm.. The cutest thing I've ever seen." He whispered.

My consciousness returned as I realized we stared at each other for too long. I forced myself to rise, resting my back on the headboard of my bed. Still couldn't believe he was there. Honestly, I didn't know how I would react to the situation. " Gray. Graynard, what are you doing here?" Trying to look for some words to say.

His white and beautiful set of teeth appeared as he smiled, saying "I'm here to fulfil my promise, my dear princess. Couldn't you remember our conversation last night?

Aww. I closed my eyes when I recalled it. "I thought you were just ki.. kid.. kidding.."

"I've never joked in my whole life, Alexis." Why did he sound so serious? That question remained unanswered.

"I don't think so."

He smirked."You know what? You're so adorable when you're asleep. Now, I have all the reasons to do this all the time."

"Wait. What??? No! That's not gonna happen again." I snorted.

He raised his left brow, showing that he was not convinced by what I told him. "Is that so? Well, according to my senses that is totally opposite to what I am seeing right now." He looked at me maliciously.

"What do you mean?"

"It seems to me that you like what I'm doing. Come on Alexis, don't be shy."

"I don't know what you're talking about?"

"Haha. Look at yourself. " My breath grew rapidly as he moved closer to me, making our faces an inch away from each other. His eyes were full of different emotions and I did pray that he wouldn't hear my heart throbbing. "I can always see you trying to bury your feelings for me."

"That's not true." I defended though it was kinda hard to have a conversation with our face closed with each other. It was totally awkward. For sure he was doing this just to know my weakness. He wanted to use it to me so it would be easy for him to overpower me.

"Well, let's see." My body froze as his lips gently touched mine. It was just a quick kiss but it sent chills to my body. And I wanted to beat myself for reacting that way. I knew he measured how weak I was. "It was just a small kiss Alexis but your body aggressively responded."

I gulped. "Graynard, please... Stop it." I was like a helpless woman begging for mercy. I had to knock it off as long as I have the urge to control myself.

"I know you want me to Alexis. Don't make this hard for us."

I shook my head. "You're the wrong Graynard. This isn't what I want." I almost whispered my voice.

"This is what we want Alexis. Believe me."

I shook my head again. "Just leave please." I pleaded. "Leave."

He didn't have a choice but to leave. He stood up. "Okay okay. I'll just wait outside." Then he started walking towards the door. I sighed in relief as the door swallowed him completely.

I covered my face with my hands, trying to recover myself from the tension occurred earlier.

How would I be able to resist his charm if he was always around? And my aunt... How did he persuade her to come to my room? She never let anyone enter my room especially when it was a guy. Oh, Graynard. I didn't know what I would do to you. Were you really that hard to stop?
Were you really in love with me? "Shit!" Before I could think of things far from reality, I stopped myself. I even slapped my face. "Erase! Erase! Erase! I will never fall for anyone like him. I hate men! I hate Graynard! I have to hate him! I have to!"

Graynard's POV

"Alexis... Alexis... Alexis..." That's what my brain told me. Temptation always hit me whenever I set my eyes on her beautiful face. And I admitted that I like watching her asleep. She was like sleeping beauty waiting to be kissed by his prince. Well, I did kiss her while she was still in the state of unconsciousness. And I admitted that I liked it.

I kept reminding myself not to break the rules I had set for myself. But It was difficult not to be compelled by her charisma. I knew I was pretty upset by what her mother did to me at first but there was something I felt when I started to get to know her. How was I supposed to stop myself?

I made myself busy by roaming around the living room, looking at some picture frames. I smiled at one of Alexis' photos. I bet she was around 9 years old when she took that picture. She was wearing a cowboy costume while holding a cone of ice cream. She was really cute in that picture.

I was about to pick it when my phone vibrated in my pocket. I hastily pulled it out and answered the call.

"Why didn't you tell me you're going to university?" Irritation grew in me as the caller spoke on the other line.

"Where the hell you get that information?"

"It's not important. Just answer my question. Did you transfer to another university?"

"Yes. Why? Is that a matter to you."

"That's important for me to know. Remember, you're the....."

"I know." I snapped. "You don't have to remind me all the time."

I heard the caller sigh on the other line."When are you going to visit me?"

"I already told you I'm busy. I'll just let you know when."

"I'll wait for you."

"Okay."

"Graynard?"

"What?" I impatiently answered.

"Take care." Then the phone hung up and so I returned my phone inside my pocket.

"Look who's here?" A very familiar voice spoke behind me. As I turned around to see who it was, my blood boiled. The feeling was mutual. I could see how his eyes flamed as the sight of me.

"Why are you here?"

His smile didn't reach his eyes. "Do you really have to ask that? Of course, I'm here for Alexis."

I rose my brow. "Oh! You're here for your little sister." I said it sarcastically, stressing the word sister. His appearance darkened, making me laugh.

"You know it would be better if you leave." His voice was rigid and firm.

I stopped laughing. "And why would I do that?"

"Coz you don't have space in this house."

"You know what Glenn, you're always this antagonist who opposes everything that I do."

"I'm just protecting Alexis."

"Protecting?? Are you saying that you're protecting her from me? Oh, come on! You think I'm doing this to harm her?"

"I know you Graynard. I know what kind of person you are. You just want to get inside her pants. Right?" My muscles clenched as words escaped from his mouth.

He wasn't able to prepare when I gave him a strong blow on his face. He fell on the floor. But he managed to stand, fighting me back.

"What's happening here? Oh my God. Glenn! Graynard!" We were in that situation when Alexis' aunt rushed to us.

The unending fight between Glenn and Graynard?? And who is the mysterious caller who keeps on contacting Graynard.?? Will there be a love story to start between Graynard and Alexis?? Questions will be answered soon....... Are you excited to know??
