Ok. Apparently, the dark knight dude look wayyyy better in real life than all those trashy tabloids and magazines. Beautiful even. Those dark mysterious orbs that's seems to pierce right through me, right through my soul. Tall structured nose, high cheekbones and a really structured full lips that I really don't mind smashing my---- I squelched that idea before it can manifest into virus. I cleared my throat abruptly and he smirked. God. I blushed furiously and I don't ever blush.The last thing I need is to embarrass myself in front of such a hot guy. God am I embarrassing. I mumbled a quick greeting before taking my seat next to him, plunging my huge ass butt into the soft cushion of the seat, how graceful, talk about sex appeal. My mum pursed her lips and frowned at me almost disgusted at my lack of gracefulness. Ouch . That kind of stings. But that was kind of expected wasn't it? However, I couldn't stop that little sting from blooming in my chest changing into a familiar pain. I know I shouldn't be affected by such a small action but I cant help it, I looked down at my hands fidgeting with the table cloth, not wanting to meet my parents disapproving gazes.
" Apologies for my daughter's lateness Mr night, she is usually punctual.'' my mother emphasized on the last word, I cringed at her underlying meaning. '' She is very different from Katherine, in fact she is more of an introvert always kept to herself, hope you don't mind Mr night....'' I tightened my grip on the edge of the table cloth, I could almost hear the disdain when she said that I was different from my small sister, so different. '' Certainly Mrs Preston, we are legally married after all.'' He chuckled darkly beside me sending shivers all through my body. I turned my head towards him surprised at the choice of his words, legally married, that's what he said, does he even know what legally married means? When you are married you don't just leave the person for three months and appear out of nowhere all of a sudden at some ''family gathering''. I was angry for a moment before I realised that he is Maximilian night the man who changes women at the blink of an eye, well then it is expected for him to forget about me, I don't blame him, who will remember a plain jane? I don't give a shit anyways. I'm happy with myself.
The rest of the night passed in a blur, we ate dinner and my parents engaged in light conversations with him, chuckles and laughter filled the room which annoyed me tremendously to no end, and Katherine was constantly grabbing his arms, '' accidental'' brushes of her hand against his thighs and the consistent pushing of her boobs up secretly to make it look bigger. I rolled my eyes at her. Stupid slut. She haven't change a bit. I remained quiet for most of the time ,keeping to myself, it's not like anybody in the room bothered to ask me about anything either, its not like I mind. In fact I liked it. Dinner passed quickly, before I knew it the day had come to the end much to my relieve, by now my legs are aching badly, I'm emotionally and physically drained from this whole bullshit and the only thing on my mind right now is the new novel book that I have not read finished, I just want to go home and hide behind the book cover. We walked out of the grand malex hotel, everybody seems to be in a good mood with my mother's light laughter and the constant conversation. After that, my parents went into the limousine and drive off after saying goodbye to Maximilian night and my sister purposely leaving me out. Wow. Childish much? I shrugged it off uncaringly, casting a glance at my sister beside me who was all over maximilian night they were literally joined hip to hip as Katherine pushed her boobs against his chest rubbing all over him. He seemed to enjoy it too. Seriously, what a great husband he turned out to be. I shot them a disgusting look before hailing a taxi. I just want to be back home.
Ignoring the eye-turner show they are putting up, I entered the taxi without much of a glance as I told the taxi driver my address. I sighed in relieve as the taxi drove off, my tensed muscles relaxed against the soft cushion of the seat as I rubbed my sore foot tenderly. Damn jimmy choos and it's five inch heels. I rest my bare feet on the cushioned seat as I lay comfortably finally found the liberation my body had been seeking for the whole night. It had been merely a few hours yet it was so mentally and physically draining, the constant rivalry between my sister and the glares and dis approvals from my parents eyes, it was enough to cripple me emotionally. I sighed happily as the taxi finally reached the front door of my house after what seems like forever, I stepped into my house inhaling the familiar scent of my home-lavender and jasmine. I never felt so calm as the smell waft into my nose. I need a nice soothing bubble bath . I threw the pair of heel onto the floor, cursing at it for tormenting my tender foot as I slipped off the dress into only my bra and underwear. I skipped into the second storey bathroom happily humming a song along the way as I turned the tap filling the round bath tub with Luke warm water to its brim. I moaned in satisfaction as I slipped my foot inside testing the water before submerging my whole body into the water. Yes. Yes. Thank god for this. I inhaled the lavender scent as I scrubbed my body gently, it felt so good, my body relaxed against the soothing water on my skin as I scrubbed every inch of my pale body clean. I've always hated the paleness of my skin, it made me look like I have some kind of incurable stage four cancer. I eyed my skin in disgust.
I walked out of the bath tub when the water starts to turn cold feeling fresh, as I dried myself on a towel before wrapping it around my body. Knowing that I'm alone in the house, I walked out of the bathroom with a towel as I walked downstairs to get a new set of cloths and undergarments. I yelped in shock when I saw a person leaning against the wall eyeing me intensely. I blinked my eyes to get a better view of the person leaning against the wall. In my house. I squinted my eyes stupidly at him stretching my neck in the process to try to make sense of the body shape. Well, you cant blame me I disposed my unconventional contact lens a few moments ago as it was poking my eyes, like literally poking my eyes like a needle and it bloody hurts and I dont have my spectacle on and my eye degree is like one thousand, i'm practically blind person without my spects on. I strained my eyes harder as I stretched my neck even further to get a better glimpse of the unknown intruder in my house. I probably looked like an ostrich right now but who cares? I have a person in my house? And I never never have any person, creature or whatsoever in my damn house. It's only me and me alone and I intend to keep it that way I'm sorry but hello stranger it's my house and what if the person is a criminal? A murderer? Ready to axe me into pieces and store it inside the refrigerator? But surprisingly, whoever the person standing in my house I wasnt scare. Who the hell is he anyway? For one, I can tell that he is definitely a full grown tall man, he doesn't have boobs and he wears a suit? I guess so. What am I doing anyway is that even a proper reaction for someone to see a full grown man standing in the middle of their house? I guess not.
Time to say something idiot. My mind hissed at me snapping me back to reality. I cleared my throat to cover up my awkwardness '' Hi may I know who the hell are you standing in the middle of my house?'' I said as I still tried to figure out his face but all I saw was the outline of his manly body. He chuckled darkly as he pushed himself off the wall walking towards me--- an unarmed fragile damsel. I gripped my towel tighter. Wait, a towel? Crap. I've totally forgotten that I'm wrapped in a towel! A thin piece of short white cloth, what is wrong with me? A question asked everyday of my life. I folded my arms together in front of my chest in a defensive position, ready to strike and let my inner Jackie Chan burst out of my body shell if needed. I squinted slash stare trying to give him what I called the deadly glare. But failing miserably as his face become clearer with every step he take, closer to me. I could now make out his face features, dark eyes, dark hair, sharp nose, full lips. Crap crap crap. I muttered under my breath as he come closer and closer and closer to me, so close that he was just directly in front of me, his face enlarge as I finally realized who this person is---Maximilian Night.
Erm. That brings up my second and the most important question---what is he doing in my house? What is Maximilian Night doing in my house what the heck. The gorgeous man chuckled deeply in front of me again as I realized that i've spoken my mind out loud subconsciously. Damn. I cursed my mouth internally, my face flushed with heat. Oh. Oh. Oh my god. I've totally forgotten that I'm married to this piece of hot meat chunk, damn my short term memory that I inherited from my mother. Oh god I'm married just thinking of the word made me sick to the core, I've always hated the feeling of being bound to something, it's like a bondage, that cut off all my freedom, it's something that even his hotness can't solve. '' But why are you in my house?'' I frowned. He just lifted an eyebrow at me amusingly. '' Oh right, it's your house technically speaking...''. My frown deepened. '' Can't we leave separately?'' This time he frowned. Huh not much of a talker is he? Bloody hypocrite I saw him talking slash laughing with my sister a few hours ago and now he is acting all mysterious and going for the quiet look. '' And why now? You left me for three months. Not that I'm complaining haha..'' I trailed of akwardly with my humorless laughter, he stared at me intensely, not talking or saying anything, I still tried to strain my ears just to catch a sentence, a word, anything that give me a hint, a clue. But no, nothing, just the heavy breathing that made me hot and bothered. Not helpful at all. Great just great. Question marks and question marks.
A moment of silence fell between us as I shifted uncomfortably in my towel, a towel. Ok Mr night, I get that you are gonna live here? But can you like go? Can't you see I'm being really really uncomfortable right now? However, he doesn't look like he understand by the rigid way he is standing and the intense gaze he was giving me. I grabbed the towel in front of my chest tightly as I shifted from foot to foot being the awkward person I'm. His eyes wandered down my face to my chest where the peak of my breasts can be seen. He lingered longer than necessary. I tightened my grip on the towel pulling it up my chest, shielding the peak of my breast from his scorching gaze, by now I was blushing bright red. My boobs are small and shitty, I bet that is what he is thinking now. Not that I cared. Unaffected by my small action, his eyes trailed shamelessly down the rest of my body slowly and sensually as if memorising every curve and swell of my body.Taking his time. By now my face is blushing hard and my body was on fire, I bend my head low as I bite my lips hard, embarrassed. When suddenly, sparks jolted throughout my body, he trailed his rough index finger down the curve of my neck slowly and softly moving towards my bare shoulders. I shivered as I snapped my head up to meet his heated gaze. His eyes was blacker and glazed as if swallowing me whole and his full lips were slightly parted, moist from the constant licking of his tongue. Even thought, I'm stupid and awkward, but I can identify that look from anywhere, I've read enough books for the past few years of my life to know what that look is---Lust.
Raw, torturous, painful lust written all over his face.
