Chapter 36

(Stacey)

"W-What? What do you mean?" she asked, her voice trembling a little.

She has mixed emotions. She feels a bit giddy and at the same time afraid. His eyes have a certain glint which is hard to place.

Then his face softened. "I like you."

That made her more shocked than she already is. He leaned forward to touch her cheek.

"I more than like you..I want you.." he said huskily.

As if in hypnotized, she is just staring at him in awe. Her mouth is slightly open. That is the most unexpected thing she heard from him . He was about to kiss her which broke her trance. She pushed him away from her.

"NO!"she protested and his expression hardened again. He straightened and his hands went to the steering wheel to grip it.

"What do you mean no?" he asked with a very cold tone. His eyes are very hard.

She can't stand the stare so she turned her head to look out the window. " You are Heather's boyfriend."
