My Desirous CEO (COMPLETED)✔

Chapter no.28

Corinne's POV:-

My side of the door was opened and I saw Cameron extending out his hand for me.
I smiled politely before getting out of the car looking away ignoring bim completely. Camera flashes could be seen in the distance as I walked towards the enterance of the huge cruise which was teeming with paparazzi. I suddenly felt a hand on my lower back.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you amoré." His voice sent a shiver down my spine. But I tried to keep up the show. I would never give up that easily. I would not forgive him for his behaviour and how he actually pretended I didn't exist.

Two could play at a game.

His playboy ways weren't working on me. Or were they?
I shook all thoughts away smiling at the uproarious crowd that shouted our names to get our attention. The path that led to the cruise was brightly lit with small candles floating in the lake. It was beautiful.
"Enchanting isn't it?" Leah said in awe.
"Yes." I beamed at my best friend.

Cameron's hand on my waist was getting to my restrains now. As much as I had strong desire and an unhealthy urge to just forget everything and kiss him right there, I had to control myself.

At the main entrance, Cameron gently took my hand helping me onto the luxurious boat. Cameras clicked away at us madly. I couldn't help but smile.

The inner view was beyond luxury with a grand hall and a grand staircase that left me gawking. The entire place shone with golden lights that filled the whole room, reflecting off of mirrors. It was as if I had stepped into a gold castle.

Cameron had his eyes on me. I knew it. I could actually feel his gaze on me, the entire time I was busy observing my surroundings. His hand softly began to caress up and down my back and I suppressed a shiver as we walked on the marble floors and in through another grand entrance to the arena for the fashion show.

We sat down at our places designated. Cameron, I, Meryl at one table while Merleah and Dylan at another right next.

Tonight's fashion show was a blend of the best brands from all over the world who would show their new collections and with a few young new designers too who would get to show their talent.
The show began but that got Cameron's attention on me rather than the models. Honestly, I was more than pleased.

His hand rested on my thigh and I eyed him wryly.
I put my hand on his to pry it off from my leg but he grabbed my hand instead.

The arena was dark and everyone was probably engorged in the show. Cameron leaned in to whisper.
"We need to talk Corinne."
"I'm not going anywhere." I snapped back whispering of course.
He slowly shook his head at me and then did something I never knew he would do in public.

He kissed me.
He goddamn kissed me. His lips were only there for a moment before I could devour the feeling and then they were gone.

His hand left my thigh and suddenly I wanted to be alone with him.

What the hell was wrong with me? I tried to calm myself down a bit and focused on the show.

The show went on. I excused myself to use the restroom and walked out of the arena into the deserted hallway.

The restrooms were to the left of the hallway and so I trudged on till I was at the door. I opened it to find it empty and I heaved a sigh of relief.

I drank some water and then stood in the mirror watching my reflection.
What was happening to me?
Why was I changing?
Was he just messing up with me?
Why all of a sudden was I overthinking?

As much as I wanted to deny it, I missed his closeness. We had been so much closer before he......he just pushed me away. But what about the rage of feelings I felt for him? What if I was getting fooled? Was this feeling real?
