Something About Him

Chapter 24: A life changing kiss

"I could have never guessed that you were such a cunning and manipulative girl" He continued as I couldn't help but frown at his words.

"Damien. I don't understand, what are you talking about?" I asked, helplessly.

"Why are you so mad at me?" I added while fidgeting in his tight, painful grip, against his chest.

"What have I ever done to you?" I mumbled the question.

"What have you done?" He said repeating my words, in a taunting tone before letting out a sarcastic chuckle.

"Oh Cynthia" He mumbled shaking his head in disbelief.

"Stop acting so fucking innocent" He snapped at me.

"You know very well what you have done" He added.

"Damien, I seriously don't know what you are talking about" I replied, confused.

Now what the heck did I do to get him so furious?

And just last night I even decided that I'll never bother him ever again. So now what has gotten into him all of a sudden to behave in such a way?

Suddenly I heard some hushed voice coming from where the audience was seated and I didn't have the courage to even glance towards them as it didn't take a genius to know that they were obviously talking about us.

"Damien please..." I mumbled while reaching my hand out and trying to remove his fingers from my arm, but failing miserably.

"Let go off me...please..." I paused, almost pleading him to let go off me.

"Whatever it is...whatever issue you have with me, we can talk about it in private...please" I continued.

"Please. Damien. Everybody is watching us...it's getting really embarrassing, please" I added.

"Why? Isn't this what you wanted? Sweetheart" He stated sarcastically.

"Damien!" I snapped, losing my patience but at the same moment realizing that I shouldn't create a scene for everyone to gossip about for weeks.

Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm myself down.

You need to handle this with a calm and sensible mind, Cynthia, I mentally said to myself.

"Let go off me" I murmured trying not to create a scene.

"Why?" He asked in his usual deep voice, with his grip tightening around my arm.

"Damien! I said let go off me, right now..." I said, confidently.

"Everybody's watching us" I added before finally gathering the courage to glance around and boy! I was right...we did have an audience and they were looking at us without even blinking.

Our school mates were most probably enjoying the drama while our school authorities, clearly looked displeased and probably angry too.

"Well...that's what you wanted, didn't you? Sweetheart..." He paused.

"The entire school to think that there's something going on between us...that we are together, then what's this shyness for now?" He continued, inching closer to my face as my breathing quickened and my heart started beating rapidly against my chest as a result of our sudden closeness.

He looked into my eyes as I looked back into his, but this time his baby blue eyes were calm and soft once again, unlike earlier when the storm in his eyes scared me, but our eye contact was short lived as he broke it off and his eyes went back to being cold while our breaths fanned on each other's face...I didn't even realize when we got this close.
