His Bet

Chapter Forty Seven

Ace

I was on the maid's room sitting on the bed while waiting for Brix. He said he's going to use the bathroom and I just gotta go and wait for him inside. I suddenly feel cold and empty when he's not around. Oh my.. Why am I feeling this right now. Is it because I'm being used of Brix's warm presence? Or I'm just being a scared freak for being alone? I scoffed on that, as if I'm not alone my whole life. I'm going almost drown deep on my thoughts when I heard that familiar deep and warm voice of him.

"Am I gone too long?" He asked coming towards me. I feel conscious under his stare so I started picking my fingers. Remembering that mental note on my head I felt determined on knowing him more.

I shook my head for a no in his question.

"Is there's something wrong honey?" His voice go deeper with concern and sincerity. I look up at him and gave him a tight smile. He sat beside me and I know I should get this going.

"Look at me baby.." He whispered getting my hands on my lap. Why do he always do that? Get my hands, cover both with his big ones and make me look at him straight in the eye. I turned myself to him and look at him in the eye. He was looking back at me, his green eyes with the light sparkle of steel blue because of the dim lights.

I pursed my bottom lip and bubble air inside my cheeks to contemplate but he copied my reactions that made me frown in the process. As if on cue he also frown that made me smile a little. Its just funny I smile because of the little things he do.

"Nothing. I was just thinking.. If.. If I could ask some questions. Well, you don't need to answer if you don't want to." I stutter and pause for a little trying to be careful with my words.

"Anything my sweetheart. But if I know that its not good for you, I'm sorry but I'm not going to risk answering if that means making you uncomfortable." He said and I can see those honest forest green eyes with steel blue clouds on it.

"Fair enough. But you can also ask me some things to make this fair for you and me."

"Sure babe. Try me." He said confident.

I was silent for a few seconds before I decided to blurt out the question that's been swirling on my mind for hours.

"The big bad wolf. What does it mean?" I stare at his eyes and I saw how his eyes turned jade when I blurt that out but then Brix being the King of impassiveness he covered it up right away.

"I don't think you're ready to hear what's behind that screen name sweetheart." He muttered breathlessly.

I gaped my mouth and close it for a while before I speak again.

"Oh.. Its okay if you don't want t-." I was cut of by him.

"Its not that I don't want to answer but I'm just worried you'll hate and see me different if I told you so baby."

"I told you nasty stuffs about me and yet you didn't judge me, of course I'll do the same thing to you." I feel like shit for arguing like that to him.

"Am I right? My girl is arguing with me?" He slightly tilt his head on the side and crease his eyebrows that made my eyes widened in horror.

Oh no did I make him mad? I knew it I shouldn't have talk back to him like that!

Fear suddenly splashed on me and my throat feels dry and I know any time now panic will be there on the window waiting for me to loose it.

"N.. No.. I-." I again stutter. Shit. Shit. Shit.

"I actually like that. I mean.. My girl being that bossy I just found that hot." Then he winked at me. Whaaat?!

Me? His girl?
