I Should Love You

"They told me to stay far away from you. We're supposed to be rivals, I'm supposed to loathe you." Nolan pushed himself closer. So close that our noses bumped. "And I do, I do hate you." He hissed out and I hissed in a sharp breath. His words were bitter and cold, they were cutting through me once again. "But I need them to piss off.. and they will if I make them hate me." His hold on my waist tightened, it tightened enough to make me gasp in pain. "And you, my darlin, are my only bait. So, I guess.. I should love you." His face was void of any emotion, like always. But I knew he wasn't asking me or doubting himself. He was stating what has to be done, like always. And I did not fight him, like always.
