"I think I'm hearing stuff now", I laughed to myself. Who even builds a house for a stranger out of the blue.

"I do, and you're not a stranger, Sam, you're my Sam, mine." He said closing the gap between us, I could smell his leather cologne and hear him breathing, his warm breaths landing slightly above my face. Damn that means we're close.

So I backed away. "Hhh, look Mr. Quinn, I think that's inappropriate given that this is a formal meeting, and I don't belong to any..."

"DON'T, call me that, Sam", did he just shout at me? I think he shouted at me.

Control, woman. Control, because you know what goes down if you both blow up, I said to myself.

I think he noticed that I didn't like the way he just spoke to me.
"Sorry, I mean. Don't ever use Mister with me. Especially when we are alone, it um, it makes us seem distant, like we are just acquaintances, and I, I hate feeling that way with you, Sam." He finished by being close to me again. I stepped back, AGAIN.

I really like when he's close but I'm not ready, and I wasn't ready to meet him again.
His presence calls for all things I promised myself not to be or do, if I ever met him.

"There's no us, this is a beautiful house, but you are going to have to find someone else to design YOUR house, Mister Qu..., Cedrick"

"It's Ced, to you". He muttered.

"Oh no, that's not happening, you are demanding too much from me now, don't you think?". I scoffed.

"Sam, I'm here. Let's talk. Tell me what I did wrong, correct me. I apologised for being blinded by Katherine and not looking for you.
You can shout at me, slap me, punch me but PLEASE do not pull away from me...

It kills me knowing that you detest being close to me, I know I deserve it but please I need you. I need you more than ever...

At that party, my whole body ached for you, my arms ached to embrace you, my fingers ached to caress your skin, my lips wanted to devour, suck, bite, those soft, seductive, plump lips of yours." He was saying all this in my face, literally exchanging the now hot breaths we were breathing.

My whole body was at his mercy, because if it was not for his body supporting mine, I think I would be on the ground by now.
My heart was beating loud and fast, I think he could hear it, the same way I was hearing his.

This is exactly what I feared. I never have control of myself when it's only us, he knows how to seduce a female when he chooses to.
But not me, I know him just too well to control myself...atleast I thought I did.

My third attempt to move away, or let's say it as it is 'Flee', from him. He swirled me, pinned me on the wall and did exactly what he said he wanted to do to me.

Realising what he was doing, I pushed him away from me and slapped him straight in the face.
I hated myself for falling for his tricks, so I ran downstairs till I reached outside the house, I needed to get away from him.

I needed to go home. It was raining outside, but I did not care. I had left my phone in that house and I did not have any means of transport. DAMN!

"SAM", oh great he followed me. "Sam, you're going to get yourself sick, let's get back inside. I will call Connor right away to come pick you up but please, come on inside with me. I won't do anything stupid, I promise", he said.

He was getting wet too, but he did not care, until we heard thunder... Haha, I knew that would bring him back to sanity. God, he never changed!
He grabbed me by my wrist and we ran back into the house.

We were all drenched, thanks to my stubbornness.
