Landon

14

This night I stayed in front of that door hoping Kate would change her mind and let me in but that wasn't the case.

I must have fallen asleep at some point because I was woken up from one of men.

My stiff neck told me it wasn't a comfortable position and that I needed a warm shower to relax my muscles.

But I stayed in front of the door.

It was nine in the morning now and a good time to let one of the maids bring my girl breakfast.

Maybe she would talk to me if she ate something.

I quickly let the kitchen know and waited. After 10 minutes a maid came upstairs and knocked at Katie's door.

"Miss, your breakfast."

I heard shuffling inside. "Is Landon out there with you?" Quickly I shook my head at the maid and she nodded.

"No my dear he isn't there anymore."

A second later the door opened and I pressed myself against the wall while she let the maid in.

After both of them had gone into the room I followed quietly.

"...please I need to get out of here! He's a psycho! Plus this girl who wrote the letter will kill me if I don't go." I heard Kate whisper scream and it broke my heart. She really did think I'm a monster.

Well she is right.

Shamed I hung my head low and stared at the ground. This is just another action that I fucked up.

I only wanted her love. But no one can love a monster I guess.

"Landon?!" Someone squeaked suddenly.

I looked up to see Kate staring at me in shock. She was wearing one of my shirts which would have made me smile if I didn't hear the words she said just a minute ago.

Kate's POV:

Oh god. This time I'll get killed for real. He heard it all!

Scared I take a step backwards only to fall on the bed.

Wow my skills are so impressive. Note the sarcasm.

My breath began to quicken and I felt the need to throw up as Landon began to walk into my direction.

I tried to crawl back but I was too slow.

He grabbed my ankle and pulled my body towards him. Quickly I squinted my eyes and turned my head away.

He was breathing down my neck now.
"You are that scared of me?" Landon whispered into my ear and I heard how hurt he sounded admitting that.

My breath got caught in my throat. Maybe if I didn't say anything he would let me stay alive.

Though I don't think he would.

"Please Kate I would never hurt you. Just answer my question." What if he's lying?

Slowly I opened my eyes and glanced at his face from the corner of my eyes.
That was as I noticed he could barely hold back from crying.

But why would he, the man that had everything and everyone under his control, begin to cry?

Carefully I turned my head to really look at him. My curiousness always got the best of me.

As soon as I looked into his eyes he crashed his lips onto mine.

A weird tingling feeling flowed through my whole body and it felt nice but the shock was the more dominant feeling bubbling inside my chest.

Gasping I pushed him back and crawled backwards until I fell from the bed and hit my head.

Groaning I tried to move more far but I didn't manage his speed.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry Katie!" Landon threw himself next to me on the floor and frantically checked if I had any injuries.

As he found none his breathing slowed down to normal.
"I-I just...I just like you really much and I couldn't hide it anymore so I was stupid and kissed you. Please forgive me Kate." Landon's rough voice cried out.

And suddenly I felt sorry for the man in front of me.

He must be really alone. Nobody should feel like that. So I decided to do it.
"I give you a chance Landon."

He looked up and his desperate face turned into a genuine happy one.

He tried to hold back his strength as his big, bulky arms hugged my petite frame and I chuckled at that.

Maybe he is not as bad as his first couple of impressions made me think he is.

This chapter is a little short but hey it's an update :)) enjoy!
