Engaged to the Heartless Heartbreaker ✔

Chapter 39 - Three Words

"How dare you," I said firmly, pushing him and finally having my feet back on the floor. "I'm not your future wife! Don't you ever call me that! The idea of our engagement has long been over and done! We're through! As in totally through!" I yelled at him. Then, leaving him in the kitchen, I strode to the living room.

He followed me. "Althea..."

"You've already eaten dinner and you've already greeted me. So what else do you want from me?" I asked him with hands on my waist.

"A lot," he replied.

What?

Oh, my goodness! This man was really to drive me nuts.

"There are just a lot of things that I've been meaning to tell you," he said, stepping closer to me. "They're all stuck here in my chest and, everytime I think of you, they always pierced me like hell... really hurt me to the core..."

"Oh, my God! It sounds so cheesy and... corny," I commented. I never imagined Nigel to be this soft and vulnerable. So unbelievable!

"Althea..."

"I don't want to hear any cheesy line from you, okay? Please, leave now," I cried out, opening the door for him.

He went closer to me, grabbed the doorknob from my hand, and closed the door again. "It's the middle of the night. Are you seriously driving me out?"

"I'm very serious," I retorted bluntly.

"Althea," Nigel said softly as he scratched his nape with his right fingers, "please, let me stay. I've been meaning to talk with you. Please, just hear me out on this."

I cleared my throat and said, "I can't let a man stay here. People will definitely find this unacceptable... Besides, I'm exclusively dating someone. I couldn't be entertaining two guys at once!"

Hearing my words, Nigel furrowed his brows and startled me by pressing my body to the door with his strong hands. "Exclusively dating?" he asked, searching my eyes.

"What really is wrong with you?" I gasped as I tried to push his body away from me.

"Exclusively dating Suarez? That Suarez?"

I inhaled and exhaled deeply when I failed to thrust him forward. "Yes, I'm exclusively dating Javier Suarez."

"F-ck!" he grunted and he even pressed his body to me. "The politician---"

"Yes, so keep your your hands off me now because---"

Before I could finish what I wanted to say, Nigel's lips crushed into mine as he imprisoned my body within his arm and my nape with a hand. I shivered in both shock and disbelief. He hurriedly slanted his face and totally possessed my mouth like I was his to keep... like he owned me... like there was no more escape from here... Though it wasn't my first time to make out with him, it still startled me when I felt how warm and soft his lips were, how active his tongue was drilling inside my mouth, and how tight he was embracing me.

It was a time when you wanted to rebel and slap someone's face repeatedly, but for some reason you were surprised why your body wasn't even doing anything to object.

Yes, it started out as one stolen kiss but turned out long, hungry, and fervent. It sent electric shocks in all my nerves. I couldn't believe the sparks I was seeing around us. I felt everything around was piping hot like how my mouth and how my whole body responded to his kisses.

I knew I was in my complete awareness of what was happening but it seemed like I couldn't afford to put an end to this. Perhaps, I was going crazy now. What happened to my being an expert on self-control? Though I was leaning on the wall for support, I still shivered and was afraid that my legs would get cramped anytime soon if not because of Nigel's arms enveloping my body to keep me from falling down.
