Dark Side of LOVE

Chapter Sixteen

Carmel's POV

After that long ride, we finally arrived in the pier where two yacht are waiting for us.

We headed to our yacht and the gangs too. Theo wave at us but his eyes went at me and privately gave me a smile before he turned back.

"Did he just fucking smiled at you?" He whined and put his both arms on the sides of his waist. He bit his lower lip and he glared at him.

"Justin, calm down. Okay?" I rub his back to keep him calm.

"I don't want you get close to him, okay? Let's get some food."

We sat on the deck where I was resting my head on his shoulder and his arms wrapped around my waist.

"It's beautiful." I said and breath out a sigh. Whenever you're in the middle of the ocean, you just can't think of anything. You can't think of how cruel the world can be, how people treated you like you're different.. The ocean reminds us that life is still 'beautiful'. Life might be tough sometimes, but there's always a brighter side in this world where we can always go and find our peace.

"Nothing's even more beautiful than you, baby." He whispered and buried his face on my hair.

I just close my eyes trying not to appreciate his sweetness.

"Did you fall in love before you found me?" I'm wondering if he fell in love to other girl from the past three years.

"Yes." He answered.

I raised my head and turn to him. "Really?"

"I fell in love,

to the same person over and over again. Its kinda sad because she can't love me the way I love her , but I just can't think of someone who can replace her. Who can actually be her. She's different among all the girls I met.

You're different, Carmel."

My eyes met his.

He obviously love you, Carmel. Why can't you forgive him?

I look away trying to remind myself about my plans. "Wow."

"Look at me." His cold husky voice said and he carefully took my chin to face him. I bowed my head to avoid his eyes but he raised my chin. He sincerely stared at me begging for me to understand what his eyes are telling.

"I love you." He said pressing both thumbs on my cheeks.

"I wish I could do the same thing. But I just.... Can't. Let's stick to the plan, I'll pretend that I love you because you want to feel how to be love by me and then if I succeeded to do my job you'll let me live my life. Let's just stick to that, Justin. I don't want to talk about Love thingy coz I'm so sick of that."

"Am I that hard to forgive?"

"Maybe. Because I was just fucking 16 and you left me hanging. You didn't even help me explain what really happened. You just left me there. What would you expect? And now you're making me your sex slave. When are you planning to stop ruining my whole life?"

"Just give this week to me. Give me this week to show you how sorry I am. Let all your hatred stay in this yacht for a while. Forget what I've done. Open your heart to me again, Like the first time we met. You knew that I was asshole but you gave me a chance to your friend. Can we go back to that time for a while?"
