Billionaire's Desire: A Stangers-to-lovers Romance| 18+|
"I think we should stick to a professional relationship, clearly this friendship isn't doing us good."
"I don't think I can do that." We were in a crowded room but his soft words never failed to reach me.
"Why not?" His hands clenched at his side almost like he wanted to touch me but he held himself back clenching his jaw, his eyes never leaving mine.
"Because not once did I ever see you as a friend Ellanore." "You said all you wanted was my time- what about that does not insinuate a friendship?" I questioned him.
"If I clarify what I meant then it will all be over." His Adams Apple bobbed as he swallowed.
"Not talking to you for 4 days was torturous as is, I don't think I can do forever." There it was, that tickle in my chest. That uncomfortable and suffocating feeling that honestly scares me more than it should.
I lower my gaze because one more second of me staring into those eyes might lead me to make even more mistakes than I already have. "I'm sorry for putting you through that, Alecsandr."
"If you're sorry-" He took another step closer, almost scaring my feet to retreat to safer grounds.
"Then stop avoiding me Ella."
