Heyy guys! So, if I'm updating two chapters in a day...I'll release one in the morning and the other, evening ish (using my country's time zone). I hope you understand me. So, turn on notifications for Wattpad to avoid checking when I've updated which can be stressful. You know, I don't want that for my dear readers. Y'all mean a lot. Shall we? *in Elijah Mikaelson's voice*
"Oh no. I'd get my ass sacked if I keep hanging around you."
He heaved. "Look....anyone's that gonna kick you out would have to go through me first." He was already losing his patience.
What he said actually made sense but, could I trust him? It was complicated cause, I wanted to follow him to this 'place' he kept emphasizing on but, didn't want to lose my job. What to do? Haha.
I thought for a while. "And where do you intend on taking me?"
"You'll know....when we get there. You know something... I can't wait any longer." He grabbed me by my arm and began to pull me along with him. I chuckled. "Bran...I didn't even give a reply."
He said nothing but kept pulling me which my legs followed joyfully. Lmao.
I hoped this 'somewhere' he was taking me to was actually worth it.Finally, he parked the car on a cliff and said to me. "Shall we?"
I looked at him in shock. "Are we committing suicide...or rather, attempting to commit suicide again?"
He rolled his eyes in a funny way which made me chuckle. "We can try. Come on out." He said and got out of the car.
My eyes followed him as he traveled a very short distance then, pulled off his shirt. Woah. I kept staring at him without shame cause, my eyes enjoyed the sight of his sexy body. It's funny but I used a lot of discipline to drag my eyes out of that sultry sight.
"What're you still doing in there Houston?"
"I'm not insane." I said out.
"At least get out of the car. Trust me, it's gonna be fun...or should I drag you again?"
"Please no." I said it like I didn't find pleasure in that. I got out of the car and the strong breeze hit my bare skin. Still, I closed the door and said. "What's gonna be fun? Dying?"
He walked to the trunk and got out a beach shorts which he changed into in seconds. "Oh yeah...we're jumping this cliff."
My eyes widened and I laughed loud. "Are you losing it?"
"Maybe." He shrugged and walked closer to me and I stepped back. Normally I'd stand my ground but his face, body, everything was working strange things on me.
"Well, I'm not doing that with you." I said.
"When was the last time you went swimming? Or first of all, can you swim?"
"What if I said no?"
"That means you can swim."
I chuckled. "What?"
"But if you can't, we're still on safe grounds."
I laughed. "You really think I'm gonna jump into that water with you."
"Are you scared?"
"No." I lied.
"If you're scared, we're still fine cause...I'm gonna hold you." His eyes lowered a bit and I could tell that he was being damn serious. Looking at his physique and his personality, I knew that he would hold me. Not to mention the part when he saved me from danger and catered for my wounds.
Teresa, you can try it. I told myself but, I didn't want to be so easy.
"And I'm doing this because.." His voice became more serious. "I feel you've gone through too much lately...to the extent that you almost got yourself jailed. You need something to get your mind all that sad crap so, ease yourself and do this crazy thing with me."
Yes!
He was right! I was trying my best not to think of the burden I felt on my shoulders through out today. Mehn, the worst thing was the fact that mom was still mad at me. Can you imagine?So...
"I've never jumped a cliff."
He smiled in satisfaction that I had already accepted his offer. "Don't worry about that."
"Okay, I'll do this but...." I couldn't get into the water with my uniform. "I'll have to do this cause, I didn't come prepared."
"Aii?" He wondered what I was talking about but, moved back a bit when the gown I was wearing fell to the ground which exposed my black sexy inners. His eyes raked through my body slowly and he looked away. "You're beautiful Teresa."
"I know." I said with a smirk and he chuckled.
We walked closer to the edge of the cliff and he asked. "Are you scared of heights?"
"No." I lied again and he replied with a laugh. "It's so obvious."
Backing the water and facing me, he placed his hands on my waist and I shivered when I felt his touch on my skin. I looked up to see his face and he dragged me closer that my bosom made contact with his bare sexy chest. I tried my best not to overthink things but, that's not the way my body works.
"Wrap your arms around my waist." His voice was lower than usual and he added. "So you won't let go."
I obeyed then, he whispered into my ears. "Now, I just want you to feel safe."
