I was shocked. I had no words for the amount of emotions that were coursing through my body. I was pleased, confident, scared, and upset all in the same breath. I was kissing him. Elijah, Mr. Too Good for Me. The one that I am made for, and the one who doesn’t want me. I left that kitchen in tears and broken inside. I know that he knew what I was feeling.
It didn’t take a genius to figure out that I was turned on by him. I mean who wouldn’t be? He was made by the gods. He was a true masterpiece. When I went back to my room and Alex tailed behind me after that horrific scene, we came up with a plan. A plan so good that it was too brilliant not to work. It was fool proof.
I know that he doesn’t want me. I’m not good enough for me, but I was going to make him miss me. I was going to make it hard for him to leave. I know it’s petty, but right now I’m not thinking with my heart, but with my head. I had a feeling, not coming from me, that something bad was going to happen.
I shook the feeling and put him far in the back of my mind. Lane heard about what happened downstairs, because well I tell him everything, and he isn’t pleased. He is going to be hard to dodge. He isn’t going to let me 2ft in front of him. Let alone close enough to kiss him. But I wasn’t about to let Lane be the reason behind why my plan fails.
So I didn’t. I did what I wanted to do. I was a mistress. I was dressed up and I ignored him. Someone like him who thinks he is all powerful and in control, will hate when someone ignores them. But that is what is going to make me more appealing to him. I went and kept myself busy so that I was thinking about him constantly. Which was obviously harder than I thought it was going to be.
I went downstairs and I helped out in the kitchen. I liked to cook. Both growing up in a house where everyone watched for any sign that I was going to have another episode, you kinda lose interest in doing things you like. Everyone thinks that I am made of glass and really it just makes me keep to myself.
I missed being in the kitchen helping. I was really enjoying myself. Talking to the cooks, learning new tricks and just genuinely liking what I’m doing. I lost myself in the moments that were taking place and I didn’t even realize what time it was until I smelled him.
I smelled him walk into the room and I almost acknowledged him, but I remembered that I was to ignore him. I didn’t matter to him, which meant that he didn’t matter to me. I had to remember that. It pained me to think about but it was what needed to happen to succeed. So I played it off. I continued to cook and enjoy the conversation of those around me.
When dinner was called and we all sat down, his distaste in the fact that he wasn’t closer to me was easy to tell. I couldn’t give it any thought. I placed it in the back of my mind and enjoyed my dinner.
By the time I knew it, I was clearing plates with some of the other kitchen staff and I pitched in, doing the dishes. He stayed behind as everyone else left the room and continued on with their nights. Okay, I can’t procrastinate anymore. I need to just get it done and over with.
I finally turn around and begin to walk in the direction of the stairs, when I finally speak to him. We begin walking up the stairs and I can tell he is about to speak again, so I speak first. I close the gap between the both of us and it would seem that he is confused by what is taking place.
The gap becomes small and I have a small knot in my stomach. I was getting nervous. I had come too far to back out now. It would give him more ammo to walk away from me. Someone that can’t even follow their own plan. I swallow hard the lump that was forming in my throat and suddenly I feel sparks on the stomach.
The gap was finally closed and there was no longer anywhere he could go. I get on my tippy toes as he is taller than me, and I kiss him. I don’t just give him a small peck and back up. No. I give a real passionate kiss that could make anyone lose their breath.
I was now more scared that this kiss was going to be one sided. But to my surprise he kissed back. He kissed back with the same fire that I was giving and my body was starting to feel like fire. He held my head in place as if I was going somewhere. He didn’t want me to move. I didn’t plan on moving from this spot on the floor.
His hands traveled down my arms and embraced me. He wrapped my arms around his waist and we continued our passionate fest right there in the hallway. Oh how I was so lucky there was no one else here right now. Suddenly he pushes me away. I’m on the other side of the hallway catching my breath.
My lips are swollen and I feel like I can still feel his warm lips on mine. But the warmth went away faster than I wanted, I was filled with sadness. My lips turned cold and urned for him to come back to me. I look at him with passion in my eyes and I’m met with black eyes and a man losing his control.
“I need to leave. Right now. But we need to talk first.” His voice was low and scratched. He wants more I can tell, but he said we still needed to talk. I felt defeated. My plan didn’t work and he was going to leave me. I lean my body against the wall and let it slide down the wall. My body is too heavy to carry. I sit on the floor and let the talking begin.
“You are leaving tonight. With me. Get your bags packed. I’m going to go inform your father.” I’m shocked. I am staring at the floor and I suddenly am looking up at him. I could have given myself whiplash with how last I raised my head to look at him. Before I had any say in what was currently happening, he was gone. He left down the stairs and that was the last I saw of him.
What was going on?
