I Bet I Would

Chapter 62: The Knight, Her Prince

PAULENE

"I'm really sorry, Pau," Franz said. 

He really put me in an embarrassing situation back there.

Furious-- that's what I am now.

I walked faster, but, he had no difficulty keeping up.

And then we reached his car.

Damn it.

I can't get mad at him. Not when I need his ride.

I turned to face him.

Especially not when he looks like a poor cutiepatootie puppy. And does he really have to pout like that?

I heave out a sigh.

"Just bring me home already," I said.

"Only after you let me make up for what I did."

I rolled my eyes at him.

"Come on. How about a movie? We can still catch one," He suggested.

"My pick?" I asked.

"Sure. What would you like to watch?"

"World War Z!" I exclaimed.

"No. Anything but that," He quickly replied.

"And why?"

I continued, "You're not afraid of zombies, are you?"

I couldn't help but let out a laugh.

He looked away and mumbled something.

I laughed even harder.

"Stop it," He demanded.

He really is afraid of zombies! Zombies in movies! This is just so hilarious.

"I said stop it!" He bellowed as he pinned me on his car.

I instantly stopped laughing without intending to do so.

My heart is now racing.

He was too near.

I could feel his fast and warm exhales on my face as his fiery emerald pupils were burning my brown ones, piercing me through my soul.

I watch as his beautiful red lips open and say the words, "That fear does not make me less of a man."

But you are not a man.

You are a sex god.

My heart is now palpitating madly that it could burst.

Sweat broke out on my forehead. I could feel it dripping down my face.

We've been this near before.

It was in his room, on his bed.

This feeling--

It's frightening...

And exciting.

I am tensed both in a good and a bad way.

This tension is so overwhelming.

I close my eyes.

Just do it already.

"Let's just get some cold milk tea then," I hear him say.

I opened my eyes and he pulled himself away from me.

I heave out a sigh.

I am not sure if I am relieved or--

Disappointed.
