Chapter 14
'You're falling for it, snap out of it!' Lilly thought. Her mind was telling her she was crazy and stupid, but at the moment, her nervous system was not in contact with her brain, if that made sense. She couldn't bring herself to stop staring at Royce's eyes or to control her uneven breathing and let's not forget that thumping heart couldn't slow down.
Royce's arms brought her closer to him, sending chills down her spine and causing her to quiver.
'Im starting to feel human again...'
For the first time, in a very, very long time, she finally felt scared. Scared because she always knew what to do and what to expect of herself or figure things out before anyone does. She was always three steps ahead of the game, until now.
Royce took a moment to leave his crazy hormones aside and to finally analyze what he was doing.
'You're fucking stupid if you think you'll ever win her like this'
He started to feel like a complete douche bag and a crazy erotic guy trying to seduce a very vulnerable Lilly.
Her eyes said one thing: she was scared.
Not scared that he would hurt her, but scared because this was new to her.
The crazy predator finally left him for that romantic and sensitive Royce to take over. No longer was he thinking about trying 'get some' by letting her fall into his trap like all predators do, but to let his real feelings come through.
His gestures from before trying to lure her in by bringing her closer to him, he realized that now his theory was right. She wouldn't be trembling in his arms or her eyes being locked to his, if she didn't feel anything towards him. Royce already made up his mind, she did feel something, or else she would've slapped him a long time ago.
"What's wrong?" Royce was too close that he whispered into her lips.
Lilly stayed quiet for a while, her eyes were still glued to his, she didn't ignore him, she heard the questions perfectly, she just couldn't bring her self to respond because in all honesty, she didn't know what was wrong with her.
"Nothing..." She finally responded bringing her head down and away from his eyes, it's took her a few moments to gather herself up, "Next time, don't touch my stuff, like ever, got it!"
Royce stepped back and let her go, he was taken aback by her sudden change of attitude. Old Lilly was back.
"Whoa..." Was all Royce said, he was surprised. Something just happened between them and Lilly was now going to deny everything because she's Lilly.
"Did you hear me? Don't touch my stuff!"
"I heard you perfectly mujer!" Royce said slightly annoyed. She can be feisty and all but her attitude after what just happened is unbelievable.
"Good! Here are your pillows" She picked them up from the floor and handed them to royce, "Now get out!" She demanded.
"Can you stop!" Royce said shaking his head, "Stop trying to hide what just happened Lilly--"
"Excuse me! Get out!" She pointed to her door, but Royce didn't move a single inch. He was staying. What did she expect after what just happened? To ignore everything and get feisty with him for the next twelve hours when he could finally leave? No, it wasn't happening.
Lilly is stubborn but so is Royce. She wanted him out and he wanted to stay.
"Make me" he emphasized each word slowly.
Lilly scoffed, "This is my house, your my guest who doesn't have decency! Now get out!"
"Why are you like that? Why do you try to hide everything and pretend things didn't happen? You can't keep living like that you know!" Royce said out of the sudden, he knew the last part was dangerous to say, but he had to let it out.
Lilly starred at him with curiosity, did someone finally began to crack her or was he that good on spying?
"What do you know about me? You know nothing and it's none of your business!"
"You just contradicted yourself! Stop trying to run! I'm not here to hurt you, I just want to help you..." Royce said softly and put his hand on her face, her reaction to his touch was sucking in a breath, "What are you so scared of?" And once again, he had her close to his face.
"How do you that..." Lilly said softly trying not to look into his eyes or else she would fall for his spell once again.
"Do what?" Royce raised her glance to his view.
"How can you read me so well?"
Bingo. He was right all of this time, and to think, he's the first person ever to start figuring out Lilly.
"I don't know..." Royce responded, "all I know is that you need to let yourself be helped, leave that pride of yours behind"
Pride, that word stung her heart, and she knew that he was right, but she can't let her guard down, not again. It doesn't matter if he wanted to help, he couldn't.
She shook her head while her eyes were closed. Her mind was racing with so many thoughts...
'He's a first and wants to help? No he can't! I can't be helped, all I want it's to be alone, I'm too complicated for him'
"I'm the last person you want to help in this world, trust me..." Lilly said opening her eyes, they were watery.
"Why do you say that" his thumbs reached under her eyes to wipe the few tears that had escaped. 'At least she finally admitted she has a problem, sorta, but she did'
"Why would you? It's not like I'm ever going to see you again, you go back to Miami in twelve hours"
Dammit... There goes reality again.
'Is it too early to say that I have feelings for you and that I can be myself with you... I'm a normal person to her, not Prince Royce'
He debated the idea in his head with out answering Lilly's question. She stood there knowing he was thinking, but she finally came to another response.
"Look, just go to bed, it's late anyways--"
"Can I ask you a question first?" He said, this was important to him and any type of reaction from her could answer it.
"What?"
"Tell at least you didn't feel something..."
"What are you talking about?"
"When I had you this close.." He put his arms around her again and brought her inches away from his face again.
There it was again, that chill going down her spine, she closed her eyes for a second and opened them again. Royce's lips were so close to touching hers, she could feel his breath, defensively she put her hands on his shoulders and tried to push him back, but it was useless, her strength was gone, he was becoming her weakness.
"Tell me..." Royce said softly against her lips.
