Arrogant Billionaire: Love vs Hate

Chap. 20

"I was talking about this picture." Liam said showing me childhood picture of Frederick in which he was five years old kid dressed as Tinkerbell.

I couldn't help laughing. "Aww, he looks so cute."

"Yes his mother convinced him to dress as Tinker bell in Fairy Princess Competition. And you won't believe he was the runner up." Liam said laughing. I laughed along with him.

We were sitting in our Economics class waiting for Mr. Hopkins to resume his lecture. He excused himself in middle of the class when he got an urgent call.

"Share it with me. I'll put it as my profile picture on his birthday. That'll be a real surprise for him." I said evilly.

"You know he'll kill me saying I embarrassed him in front of his dream girl." Liam laughed teasingly.

"Hey not you too." I said pouting. He laughed and ruffled my hair.

Our talk was cut short when someone banged their fist angrily on a desk behind us. I turned around and saw Mark giving a murderous glare to Liam. I gave a confused look to Liam. He shrugged.

Our attention focused back to class again when Mr. Hopkins returned. I was still confused about Mark's behaviour.

I was taking out my books for third lecture from my new locker. I requested for a new one after my old one was ruined by Stephenie.

As I closed my locker I felt a presence behind me. I turned around and saw Mark standing behind me with an impassive expression. I gave him a confused look.

He approached me and caged me with his arms on my locker. I swear it was becoming his favourite way to trap me. A boy taking out his books from the nearby locker stopped and started looking at us curiously. Mark glared at him. The poor guy hurriedly took out his books and went away. I rolled my eyes.

"What are you trying to do exactly?" I raised an eyebrow pointing to his hands that were trapping me.

"Do you like Liam?" he asked ignoring my question. He was having an unreadable expression on his face.

I looked at him with surprise. "Why are you asking that?"

"Just answer me." his expressions were still impassive.

"No, first tell me why are you asking it out of the blue?" I demanded stubbornly.

"We can do this all day. I don't mind trapping you here until you answer my question." he stated simply.

"Ugh, you're impossible." I said with an annoyed expression. "Yes. I do like him, but just as a friend. Nothing else. Now let me go I'm really getting late for my third lecture."

"I will after you answer my last question." he said with finality.

I knew how stubborn he could be, so I heaved a sigh and asked "Okay. What is it?"

"Are you dating someone?" He asked with his usual indifferent instance.

"No, I'm not. But I don't understand how is it any of your concern if I like or date someone?" I gave him a confused look.

"It is." He stated simply without a single trace of emotion in his voice. His indifferent attitude was now getting onto my nerves. He was demanding answers from me, but wasn't ready to answer any of my question.

"But why?" I asked annoyed.

"Because you're mine." He said looking straight into my eyes. Intensity of his gaze was enough to make me nervous.
