If Not Now Then When?

chapter 8

Mr. Ambrose POV

     "Goodbye" she whispered I winced.

      I felt her presence, more then anything. I wanted to turn around and apologize for my behavior.

      I am Mr. Ambrose since when did I apologize to anyone? Although it pained me every second, I stood my ground.

     I heard her footsteps turn back and leave.

      With each footstep I clenched my knuckles tighter. I turned slightly, maybe it wasn't to late to fix this. I took one step then another.

      No! What was I thinking, I'm Mr. Ambrose I should be expecting an apology.

      Then why did I feel the need to apologize? I shouldn't, after all one could never be too suspicious.

      Sooner or later she will come back crawling on her knees and apologize.

Wrong!

      Two days have passed and I haven't seen or spoken to her.

      I found it hard to work without  my mind wondering off. Which suprised me since I found it, easy to clear off my mind by doing work.

      Finding no comfort in drowning myself in work, I decided to leave my room.

      "That be land, land ho!" I quickly walked over to the men clustered together.

Pushing them out of the way I looked ahead only to see land. I nodded in agreement.

     "Finally! I think I'm starting to get sea sick, move! I want to see land! Has anyone told Mr. Ambrose that self centered as-" I froze

Everone was quiet, everone knew something was going on. You could practically see, we would do whatever to avoid eachother.

      One by one they left leaving me and he/r alone.

No come back you fools! Don't leave me alone with this Ifrit! God knows what she'll do to me!

     Of course no one heard me. Slowly I turned around, only to see a annoyed Mr. Linton.

Awkward silence

She cleared her throat glaring at me. I looked at her more closely.

Our eyes met. She was blinking quite a lot. That's when I noticed no matter how hard she tried to act annoyed, and mad. I could see her eyes growing teary eyed.

My heart ached I suddenly felt guilty not once did I feel guilty. Yet she makes me feel like it's all my fault.

She cleared her throat once again

"Mr. Linton is something wrong with that throat of yours?" I said trying my hardest to sound annoyed.

She slightly winced, but she is Lilly for crying out loud!

"No, but something is wrong with you, you ugly stone cold heart. You son of a bachelor, you self centered donk-"

Ouch

I guess I deserved that.

I didn't hear the rest as I stepped forward. Put my hands around her waist.

      Leaning towards her ear "Lilly I suggest you go no furthermore"

      "I'll go as far as I want! Now I suggest to let me go. Hey keep those hands up north!"

"Hasn't it been a long time since we were in each other's presence. Ooh my little Ifrit how I miss you."

I see her tense up "I-i also missed you" I hear her whisper.

I also tense up did I say that out loud?! Yet I don't regret it, but my face goes a little red.

I look down only to stare at her lips. I groan, not caring if people were watching I kiss her.

Quickly after the kiss she pulls back.

Hurt, I look at her. She only looks behind me. Turning around I see a few guys watching us. I just look at them wanting so bad to punch them. They disturbed my moment.

We need some privacy, and the first think that comes to mind is, my room.

I'll will try to update way more often now!
