Mischevous Thief

Chapter 32: His missing puzzle piece

Kiera Kins Grant's POV

My eyes finally opened and the sight that stunned me was the smell of the sea salt. I was in bed but the place I was in was in motion, It was moving. My vision blurred but I carefully adjusted it and saw a window.

The yatch was enormously big and it was enough for two dozen people including the crews. I leaned on the metal rail on the boat. The boat was white and it was well maintained by the crew.

I opened it and saw the beautiful blue sea. Well, that explains everything. But I have no recollection or memory of what happened last night. The last thing I remember was Via taking over my body. What twisted thing did she do again?

Rage was an enemy I could not contain, I have no control of my emotions. Knowing the truth, Via resurfaced. What the hell happened to Walter? Have I killed him? A tear fell from my eyes as conscience found it's way in inside of me.I felt breathless and I was trembling.

There was a soft knock on the door. I brushed off the tears from my eyes and opened the door. I was ready for what consequence I might be facing because of Via's doing. The first thing I saw was that rotten bastard with the dark blue eyes and jet black hair.

But his expression stunned me, There was no trace of anger of some sort in his face.

"How much trouble am I in?" I didn't let his calm expression fool me. I can take whatever the consequences of the death of Walter.

"You're not in any trouble. I managed to stop you just before you could slice him into tiny little pieces. Don't let that worry you, Walter is injured but his psychotic ass will be fine" He managed to gave me a smirk. God knows how much I miss looking at his handsomely rugged face. His sense of humor never fails to amuse me.

"Via never lets anyone get in her way. She gets want she wants. You've been marked. She will try to kill you whenever she resurfaces. Better stay away from me. I'm a walking trouble" I walked a few strides from where he was standing but his hand touched my shoulder.

The heat from his hand radiated all throughout my body. God knows how much I long for his touch. I shrugged my unnecessary and perverted thoughts.

"You know what surprised me that night? It wasn't meeting your twisted alter ego, Via or how much baffling did your personality shift when you get extremely mad. It was the fact that it was only me that could keep her at bay" He gave me that devilish grin with a smirk.

"Don't be too cocky, It means nothing" I gave him a smirk with the same intensity.

"So this means nothing too?" I was stunned by his next move. He cocked his head near my face. We were only inches away from kissing. He stared intently into my eyes and admired me as if I was some priced possession.

Then his lips landed on mine. It was just a smack at first then the heat from his lips radiated all throughout my body. There was no mistaking of the passion and the heat that we were generating. The spark that builds over time with the kiss. His nose collided with mine as we kissed.

I managed to stop the madness of the kiss while I can. I pushed him slowly.

"You have a very bad habit of kissing me, Aux. You shouldn't kiss a person without meaning. Man whore" I gave him dagger from my eyes.

"Old habits die hard. I do. I tried to pretend that I have total control of my emotions, I tried to pretend that I didn't like you. That those kisses are just my way of pissing you off. But they do mean something. I love you" The admiration in his eyes was astounding. His eyes was a total picture of a person in love.

"Those feelings are not wrong but they're misplaced. You cannot love me, I have a disability, Via exists. That was something that was stolen by me on that tragedy. I don't deserve you. I am a murderer" Tears fell from my eyes and I slowly turn away from him. But his hands touched my hands, I tried to pull away but his grip was strong.

"You're not perfect but you're all I want. I love you inside out. Even the darkest parts of you. I love the things that you hate about yourself" I walked the space that was left between us. Before I could say anything, He was hugging me. The warmth of his body giving heat to my cold body.

"This is totally wrong. What if I end up destroying you like that girl? I only cause you trouble" His grip on my body become tighter as if he didn't want to lose me ever again.

"For many years, I tried to block my emotions and swallow the pains of the past. But Kiera, You collected me, off the ground where she abandoned things and made me whole. You're my missing puzzle piece. I fell in love with you because you loved me when I couldn't love myself. Hate has lived in me. But thanks to you, I somehow believe that love still do exists. I love you. Can I keep you forever?" With that he held my hand and kissed me with all the passion he could muster. We were out of breath when we got out of each other's arm.

"Yes. Love was the luxury I could never afford. The stake is high. But I am willing to gamble my heart and my sanity because of you. It doesn't matter where we met, The important thing is we did. I choose you over everything" Then she walked the distance that was keeping as far away. I was stunned by her next move. I clung my hands on my his head and gave him the sweetest kiss that even that ants couldn't resist.

Right then and then, I felt the moment was frozen. No clock ticking. No hours, No minutes, no seconds and no enemies could break them apart. It was a moment entirely their own.

I fell in love with the way you are, Then all at once...

Listen to Piece by Piece of Kelly Clarkson while reading this chapter.

This was a rather mushy chapter, But I do love it. Finally, Aux Fin Lee had the courage to say what he feels, sometimes there are many unsaid thoughts in life. The lesson of this chapter is " Say it before you run out of time. Say it before it's too late. Say what you're feeling. Waiting is a mistake"

I wish this chapter inspired you as it did inspired me. Stay tuned....
