Hate You, Really?♥ (ON HOLD)

Chapter Nine

Mike's POV :

After the food arrived. We are back to general conversations. Thank God! She's a attentive and intelligent partner to have food with. Just like Kenzi. I wanted her to be different from Kenzi, yet here she is similar to her, Though her thoughts are different and actually mirrorring mine! I am frustated with this desire. I want her as my girlfriend in every sense of the word! But she is so set-on rejecting Me! Putting those troubling thoughts aside I decide to focus on making this a pleasant, easy meal to share together, without stress or strain.

She is making all polite, praising comments about the quality of the food, My job and other achievements I made avoiding risky conversations. Overall its a pleasant dinner with only 'the dating challenge' thing different but I am really gonna show her this ain't an end but beginning of a very bright future!

After having the last bite of my Chocolate Mousse I am completely satisfied and full! She is fun to be with and charming! My eyes abrubtly catch a couple walking by taking a table at the far end of the room and all the happiness goes away. They were almost covered by the red velvet drapery - but not enough to stop him from recognising, that the female was none other then my beloved ex- Kenzi Burns but I cannot see the man but the tattoo on the side of his neck is clear indication that he's not a person to mess with. She is dating a Gangster?! Or some BadBoy! How did I not know this?! Well, if you see that way I didn't know thousand of things about her when we were dating! So, its no surprise! Her brother is a Drug dealer and she helps him sell his stuff for extra income. People like her can go to any extent for Money.. And the fool I am! I was willing to drop everything for her. I was willing to do anything for her, no matter what the cost. I didn't care that I didn't knew the real her... I clench my fists at the anger building inside me for the fool I had been. Seeing my mood, Hannah asked "What is It?" quietly, so quietly that if I wasn't staring so hard at her now I would have missed it. I swallowed but answered anyway, "Kenzi Burn has just turned up with a Man" I told her tightly.

After that no conversation was made and they had the remaining of their dessert quietly. Actually she had, as mine was completed before. She is a slow eater and likes to devour each bite of the food. And I am tempted to know what else she would love to devour like that! Perhaps, My Body! Stop being a pervert Mike. I shout myself. She is so different than other girls... And In that moment I meet Kenzi's eyes just for a minute and its enough to bring me back to my present and anger to return!

After dinner I head straight towards my car thinking Hannah will follow but I sense that there are no footsteps behind me and turn around to find her still standing awkwardly at the exit door of the hotel and try to hide the smile that is slowly forming. She is definitely something!

"I will see you home, Come Hannah!" I say quietly and finally while she gets in without arguing I look at her pale, haunting beauty! Her eyes stay close, her face averted as she settles. She is not happy with the turn of events, I Get It! And I have this really bad urge to graze her silken hair, cup her cheeks, brush the tip of my thumb across her chin.. With a difficult effort I stop myself and get in.

The whole ride to her place she maintained the same posture and I think fell deep asleep. She works alot, homework, projects, volunteering and helping teachers and other students and also doing a job now! Ha, she doesn't know that the job she's got accepted as the sales girl is actually given by me as I am a regular customer there and My dad's company has invested in that shop and is the secret partner of that brand. Actually I shouldn't take the whole credit, The Girl has got the potential for it too! It just that my recommendation has provided the shortcut. As I cut the engine, and decide to wake her, wicked thoughts forming in my head..She looks like an angel sleeping like that! And suddenly she opens her eyes automatically turning her head towards the kerbside.
