A Fiend as a Friend

Chapter 45

"You are leaving too?"

"Yes, Felicity."

"Why? You told me you are going to spend some time here. What's up? Did you get tired of here? Collins is here too."

Sharon smiled. "Of course, but I need to organise my life too. I just came here to say hello to you. Now, I have to go back."

"What's going to happen with your feelings?"

"Stop this already. My feelings are just because I have nothing doing. I'll get over them. I don't know why you are making a big fuss over this. He doesn't even like me. I have noticed the way he looks at you."

I laughed out loud, to the point that tears dropped down my cheeks. "Me? You must be mistaken. He doesn't like me, okay? Gosh, how can you be so silly? Sharon, be realistic. Collins is not my type and I am not his either."

"Whatever, but you can't be too sure."

"Give me a minute."

"What, why?"

I winked at her and walked out of my room. I ignored her calls and jogged towards the men's quarters. When I got there, I darted straight away to Collin's room and knocked twice.

"Come in", he growled.

Bad timing? I almost decided to turn away and leave but then, he opened the door, his eyes filled with anger. I gulped hard and smiled awkwardly. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Thank goodness that you're here." He pulled me inside the room and I saw Mike and Thomas inside, a scary look on their faces. I frowned and looked back at Collins. They all had their eyes on me and that made me as nervous as hell.

"Why are you here, Miss Adams?" Collins asked, his eyes hard.

"I wanted to ask you if-- you know, never mind, what's going on?" Of course, there was no way I was going to ask him if he liked Sharon. The situation on ground seemed more important and it was obviously related to me with the way they were all staring at me. He had even called me Miss Adams and not Felicity!

"Of course." He dipped his hands inside his pockets and walked towards me, his eyes getting harder.

"Look, Collins, there is no proof that she did it yet, okay? We don't need to go to all these lenghts."

My heart skipped a beat when I heard what Mike said. What in God's name did I do?

Collins scoffed and continued to walk towards me until I was just inches away. I could literally feel the fire from his eyes cook me up. "Why did you do what you did?"

I closed my eyes and inhaled sharply. Firstly, I didn't even know what he was talking about and two, his eyes were not making me think straight. They scared me a great deal. My eyes fluttered open when he grasped my arms and shook me vigorously.

I didn't take him as the violent type, okay?

"Why the hell did you do what you did?" he yelled, his breathing rising.

"Collins, take it easy on her, okay?" Mike said.

"I don't know what you are talking about", I said as calmly as possible.

He removed his hands from me and laughed without humor. After about two minutes, he stared at me, his eyes blazing with fire. "Of course, you wouldn't know."

What? Was I dreaming or something?

"She said she doesn't know. Come on, let's sort this out before we jump into conclusions", Thomas said.
