Indecisive

Chapter 25

"Zen? Why aren't you talking?" I tried getting out of his hold but he kept me in place. "Zen Charles!"

"I'm sorry. I just can't believe what I've just heard. I thought I was dreaming." He dropped his hands to his sides. "Your brother is coming."

I turned back to see the healthy Clark walking towards us. "Hi, Clark."

"Is everything okay? I was watching back there then you suddenly shouted. Did this fella here did anything to you and you want your brother to get him back at?" Clark started straightening Zen's jacket neatly, with an evil grin spread across his face.

Then I realised something was amiss. "Clark Levin. You had been staring at us since I hugged Zen?!"

"Yeah, longer than that actually. So what?"

"Oh my god!" I threw Zen the helmet I was holding and ran straight into my room. I slammed the door and locked it.

It must be one of the most embarrassing things I've ever done and my brother just stood there to watch?!

"Harley! Open the door!"

"Go away!" I slammed my head on my pillows.

"I'm sorry! Will you listen me out?!"

"NO!"

And then there was silence. It wasn't normal for Clark to end an argument that fast. He would never leave me in peace when I'm angry with him.

I started hearing some murmurings outside. Who can Clark talk to? Zen should have already left and the housekeepers have nothing to talk to him about.

Keys started ringing outside my door. Oh great, now he is trying to budge in without my permission. It unlocked with a click, I stared at the door. "What the-"

Clark pushed Zen into my room, "Settle this for me!" And then he slammed the door shut.

I looked at Zen and he looked at me with his hands in his pocket. At times like this, I would ignore Zen if he intended to help my brother. But after that hugging incident, I will blush whenever I see him. I will be more comfortable if he said something. However, we were left with an awkward silence.

"Well, I'm dragged into this. Don't get pissed at me." Zen chuckled and shrugged his shoulders.

I laughed back. "Yeah, I'm sorry about that."

"So... Why are you angry at Clark when he caught us hugging?"

"It was embarrassing."

"But I don't mind. He kind of acknowledged me being with you."

"He acknowledged you long ago, Zen."

"I meant you being in a relationship with me."

"Oh." I avoided his eyesight as I felt myself blush. "But it was still embarrassing." I went to face my pillows instead.

I heard Zen chortled and before I know it, he pushed me further in my bed and lied down next to me. He smirked when I was still startled by his action. I don't like that smirk.

"Oh my goodness, Zen!" He lifted me up and now I'm on his hips, with him staring straight at me. "What is this?!"

He chuckled. "I want to see you blush. I saw a pinkish glow on you just now. You can't hide from me anymore." He lightly poked my nose. I felt blood gushing to my face. The room felt so much hotter than before.

I tried wriggling off him but his left arm gripped my waist steadily, keeping me in place. I gave up.

"Zen Charles. What can I do to let myself out of this grip?" I placed my elbow on his chest and supported my head with my hand.

He used two hands to hold me now. "Try looking at me straight in the eyes and answer my only question honestly. Can you do that?"

I guessed there was no harm answering a question from him. "Sure."

"Are you hiding your feelings for me?"

My heartbeat increased two folds.
