Taylor's POV
Kissing her was almost as a wild instinct. I needed it and, even if at first I was afraid of her reaction , when I felt her relaxing in my arms I thought I could go deeper. But the sting I felt next on my cheek had me surprised.
She cut my cheek with a glove I didn't notice she was wearing until now. I looked into her eyes, but she didn't seem angry, she was back to her impenetrable expression.
- I'll tell you something you should know. I don't like people who don't do as I say, especially in this hotel. So you had better watch your back from now on , because honey, if you didn't take the chance to get out of here back then, I'll make sure you'll be trapped here forever. Also, don't you dare touch me again.-
She proceeds towards the door with a smirk on her face. What is her deal? She seemd to enjoy it. But I'm not just gonna give up, not now that I saw she may have a soft spot.
- I told you. The more you push me away, the closer I'll come. It will be a joy to spend the rest of my days here, with you .-
She stops for a brief momen before walking out of the door.
-----
I 'm laying down on my bed , thinking about my past days at this hotel. As much as I try to find a reason for leaving, i can't. It's like my mind and my geart are really trapped here, with her.
I wonder what could work on her, since she clearly expressed her feelings for me.
The only thing I can come up with is a date. It seems like the simplest idea, but ir should work.
I decide to go ask Liz or Iris for her room, since they act as if they know everything about this hotel, and who knows, maybe they can tell me something about her too.
The Countess' POV
Sometimes I wonder what is my purpose on this planet. I sure am not made to love .
I promised to myself I would never fall in love again, yet I did, with the wrong person, at the wrong time. I don't wanna suffer again I don't want to hear an "I don't love you anymore".
So I thought that by scaring Taylor and tellung him that things will make him back off. I really hope it worked, but... If it's the right thing to do... Why does it hurt this much? I know for sure i'm not gonna kill him, he looks nice. But I won't let him come near me again. I just can't.
Although his lips were so soft, and his hands on my face so gentle...
I need to get him out of my mind. And I know what to do to make him stop trying to get to me .
Taylor's POV.
When I get to the lobby, I see that both Liz and Irus are there. Perfect.
I approach them and go straight fir my plan.
- so... I see you still here after all- says Liz
-sure I am... Listen, I have something to ask you. Can you please tell me what is the number of the countess' room?-
- why would you want to know?
- I want to ask her something
- first of all, she is the owner of this hotel. She lives on the last floor, in the pentahouse. Also, I told you not to mess with her. And what would you want to know from her? - Liz seems pretty serious, but I don't care
- I want to ask her to go ou-
On that moment, we see her walking down the stairs with a young guy. She is holding his hand, while they are talking and smiling at each other. I see her eyes directing towards me. She looks content, almost victorious.
So that's the reason she keeps shutting me out? Because she is with some dude who looks half the age as she? I can't believe it. Anger and jealousy invade my mind.
When they finally leave, I turn to Liz and start my rant
- who is he? And why was she holding his hand? And why was she smiling? And why ...-
- calm down boy. He is Tristan, the countess' new love interest, although she doesn't love him. And that smiley and affectionate attitude was new to us too, she doesn't smile without a reason-
-wait what? So she doesn't love him?-
-no. She is not capable of such thing as love.-
I finally get it. She wanted me to feel jealous and guilty so I will leave her and stop chasing her?
Man, it almost worked.
But now that I know the truth... I won't be stopped. I will do everything to make her love me.
So what floor was it , the last one? That will be my next target. I just have to think of a nice place, cause wether she wants to go with me or not, she will.
