The deal

Chapter 15. Confessions (part 2)

Ally

"Ally..." He pleaded. "I'll follow you downstairs and to the street wearing only this if you don't talk to me. I don't care if I make a fool of myself " He blackmailed me and I thought about how embarrassing would that be so I rolled my eyes and walked back to the apartment.

I knew we needed to talk, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to talk right then. I didn't really know what I was feeling. He thought I had a relationship with Jeremy and was jealous? Damn! This was so confusing.

I sat on the couch in the living room and he sat in front of me sitting in the coffee table.

"Get dressed, please." I said flatly.

"Oh, yes just a minute." He scratched the back of his head and went to his room. He was back in less than 2 minutes wearing jeans, a light blue sweater and white  sneakers. Why does he have to look so darn cute?

"Ally." He said and sat in front of me. "Oh god, this is more difficult than I thought." He said.

"What is that you find so difficult?" I asked back questioning him.

He kept silent, his face seemed as if he was having a huge debate in his head.

"Well, lets make it easy." I said out of the blue.
"Why did you kiss me?" He opened his mouth but nothing came out.
"Why did you tell me I could trust you and then you left me hanging?" I shut another question but he remained in silence.
"Why have you been lashing back on me making me work more than anybody else in the firm?" I shut another question and he stood up pacing the living room, running his hands through his hair several times. I stood up too and walked to the door. I was near the door when he spoke.

"Ally it's you... I don't know how I feel about you. I can't stop thinking about you." He said and now I was staring at him with my mouth hanging open.

"What?" I asked and he approached and took my hand in his, he kissed my forehand and a rush of adrenaline ran through my veins.

"Ally... I..." He was about to say something but I cut him off. I was more than shocked with his words but I was pretty much confused myself. He came closer but I pushed him back.

"What the heck Blake?" I said giving a step back. "I don't understand what game are you playing here because one day you just decide to kiss me in a moment I was so vulnerable and also I was so stupid to correspond to that kiss but the next day you just fucking ignored me, you just didn't care and I don't understand why you are being such a dick." I snapped again and breathed heavily while a tear fell down my eyes.

"Ally... I'm sorry." He said giving a step closer.

"I'm going now." I said softly and turned on my heels.

"Ally, wait... I thought that you were lying to me. I thought you let me kiss you and you were with Jeremy... I was mad because I didn't like the idea of you with another man." I opened the door but he closed it trapping me between the door and him. He stood behind me, too close, I could feel his breath near my neck.

"There's no man at all. Jeremy is like a brother to me. I've known him since I was born and I live with him because I can't afford a place to live in until I finish my stupid deal with you! But you could have just asked! It wasn't that difficult!" I yelled at him.

"Ally, I just jumped into the wrong conclusion. I was jealous. I'm sorry." He said very close to my ear while he kept me trapped between his arms and the door.

"Jealous?" I asked back and turned around which was a huge mistake by the way.  We were both breathing heavily.

"Yes, jealous because I have feelings for you Ally. I can't stop thinking about you." He said staring into my eyes and I just panicked. I pushed him, opened the door and ran out of there slamming the door in his face.
