Undeniable Attraction ✓

•Chapter 31•

I was talking to my mom who was telling me about their trip. The door closed and I turned to see Kel entering the house. He looked bad, bad would not even describe how he looked. I had a suspicion of what happened.

  "So you went over to his place to beat him up?" I asked confirming my thoughts.

   I don't get why he would do that, I don't know if he was starting to care or he was feeling guilty.

"Why did you do it?" I asked sitting him down.

  "You know why." he replied shrugging

  "I don't." I said playing dumb.
 
"He did things to you, I can't let him get away with that and the fact that I believed him also thinking he was my best friend so yes we fought because of you. Nobody touches my woman and gets away with it. And I haven't even touched you so you get my frustration." he jokingly said but I know he meant it.

  He called me his woman and he fought his best friend because of what he tried doing to me, he could very much have just talked to him or threatened him but he did this and if he looked like this what of Carlos? I don't get why he'd do that? I didn't know what to think of him. He was confusing me lately, slowly breaking down the walls I had built up.
 
  "Are you mad at me? " he slowly asked watching me. Mad? No. Proud, maybe.

"No. It's just... " What was I gonna say? Why would you do that for me? I don't get.

  "Hey, are you alright?" he asked pulling me to sit on his lap.

  "You're confusing me. Why would you do that? You don't even like me, why would you even get beaten up to this extent."

  Kel just chuckled and put his hands around me. "I like you Shayan, I'd get beaten up to any extent or beat up anyone for you. You're my woman, no one gets to mess with you." he said softly tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. He likes doing that a lot and looking at me intently like that wasn't helping. My inside was churning. He was awakening burning desires with the speed of lightening.
 
  What do I say to that? Does he really like me? Should I thank him?

  "You didn't have to do anything." I said instead.

   "I wouldn't have been okay with myself if I didn't do anything." he confessed and the way he said it, I looked at him like he wasn't the same man I know. Who knows if Carlos did something to him.

  "So it's not obvious that I like you?" he asked.

"Not at all." I replied, I never would have guessed. Well... He was changing these past few weeks though.

  "I'd correct that." he said leaning in. Was he going to kiss me? Do I want him to?

  Kel threw his head back and laughed, why's he laughing now? I felt a little bit hurt.

  "You should see your face West, you look between confused and horrified."

  Yeah he still hasn't said my name. I thought he was going to kiss me but he laughed. I didn't know whether to be mad or grateful about it.

  "Don't worry, it won't be far from now. You look like you don't want me kissing you yet." I could detect seriousness admit the playfulness. So he probably thought I didn't want him kissing me and laughed instead to make it less awkward for him, it was kind of funny.

"Do you have a first kit anywhere?" I asked not knowing what to say. At least I asked something reasonable.

"In my room." he replied staring at me

  "Do you think you can manage walking upstairs so I can take a look at it or you'd prefer the hospital? " I asked.

  "No. You're just fine." he answered and I nodded.
