Chapter 16- First Kiss Confession
1152 Words
Bewildered, she looked back and saw Charles’s deep eyes.
Waving the taxi away, he said in a deep voice, “Didn’t I say I’d take you back?”
“But I didn’t say yes.” She took a few steps back, uncomfortably.
His eyes became very serious. The next moment, he stretched and pull her into his arms. “Be careful!”
When a car sped past her, she could not help feeling a twinge of fear.
Leaning against Charles’s chest, on the tip of her nose she smelt the faint scent of his cologne, a characteristic masculine scent.
She pushed him away.
He caught her by the wrist. “Why aren’t you more cautious near the road? How can I allow you to go back alone? Get in the car.”
“I...” She tried to defend herself, but he had urged her into the car.
Sitting in the car, Elena was feeling disheartened.
“Elena,” Charles said, his eyes flashing as he held the steering wheel. “Do you hate me that much?”
“Yes!” She nodded seriously.
“Why?”
She felt very uncomfortable and angry that he even had the nerve to ask her that.
“You hurt my friend!”
“Didn't I say it was a misunderstanding?” He smiled a little, “But you clearly hurt me after I had saved someone.”
She was a little embarrassed. Come to think of it, the truth was indeed what he said.
“But you, you kissed me!” She lowered her head and her voice trailed off. It was her first kiss.
“What did you want me to do? s***k you?” He smiled.
She was both ashamed and angry. How could this man enjoy teasing her so much? He was really overly repulsive!
“Well, even if it was a misunderstanding, what about yesterday?” She clenched her teeth.
“Didn’t I help you out yesterday?” he said softly.
“What help?” She freaked out. “Who would help like that? You took me to another room and took my clothes off… If I had not run out of there as fast as I did, who knows what you would have done?”
The smile on the corners of his lips softened a little.
He had really been afraid she would keep it in her heart because she was too shy to mention it. If so, there would always be a gap between them.
It was great that she was willing to speak out, then his explanation would be more convincing to her.
“I just think the birthmark on your chest is very special, so I want to see it clearly.” He wasn’t trying to hide it from her. “I’m sorry that I scared you.”
She was stunned. Yesterday all he had wanted was to see her birthmark clearly? Come to think of it, he didn’t seem to do anything out of line.
“Why didn’t you just say that?” She asked questioningly.
“What do you want me to say?” He opened his mouth gently. “Did you want me to ask, ‘Miss, your birthmark is very special. Could you show me your chest’?”
“Poo~” She snorted with laughter, amused.
If another man had said it, she would have thought he was shallow. But when he said this, he had a serious poker face, which made her feel amused.
The corners of his mouth lifted. “Would you believe that?”
“No.” She thought for a bit and shook her head in the end.
“Elena, do you still hate me?” asked he.
She struggled for a while before she still nodded.
Charles had helped her a lot. Her feelings for him were not so much dislike as resistance to his approach. She didn’t know why.
She had a gut feeling that he was very dangerous and she should keep away from him.
Charles was helpless to some degree. The misunderstanding between them had all been cleared up. Why did Elena still hate him? Suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.
“Or because of that kiss?” He mused. “Was that your first kiss?”
She felt both shy and angry.
She turned her head in anger. “No.”
“Then you’ve won,” he chuckled, “because that was my first kiss.”
“How is that possible?!” She looked at him in surprise.
He was such a good kisser… She could tell him that though.
But he seemed to have guessed what she was going to say. He said, “Elena, men can always learn in some way.”
She was shy, angry and annoyed. Why did Charles always like to tease her?
Looking out of the window, she cried as if she had found an escape route, “All right, stop here!”
“We are not in front of your school yet.” He frowned. “I’ll take you to the dorm…”
“Never!” She quickly refused. “Your car is too conspicuous. If I go to the school in such a nice car, I don’t know how what rumors others will spread. Don't mess up my quiet college life!”
“Ok.” He parked his car on the side of the road.
After she got out of the car, she saw Charles get out and follow her.
“Why are you following me?” she asked, confused.
“To make sure you get back safely,” he said naturally. “My car is conspicuous, but rest assured, my whole being is inconspicuous.”
“...” She was speechless. How could he be inconspicuous?
In good conscience, he was handsome and dignified, and his whole being had a charming temperament similar to that of a male god. They would definitely be the focus when they walked on to the campus.
She was still thinking of how to say no when she heard someone saying her name, “Elena Hayes!”
When she looked up, she couldn’t help but frown. It wasn’t someone important who stopped her. It was Kevin Sanchez.
Looking at Charles standing next to Elena, Kevin questioned her in exasperation, “Who is he? And, what is your relationship?”
Her facial expression was full of anger, she could not stand him questioning her in this manner.
However, before she could speak, Charles’s eyes twinkled and he suddenly put his arm over her shoulder.
“You...” Elena was shy and anxious, subconsciously trying to dodge him.
“Be good.” He squeezed her arm lightly and whispered in her ear, “I’ll help you get rid of this man.”
She was a little startled.
Charles looked at Kevin defiantly. “Can’t you see what our relationship is?”
