53 UNSURE

Kamlyn didn't understand what was happening. She was holding herself in not to just open her eyes. Just when she felt him getting up, she was instantly relieved. But she felt him stop.

Seconds passed to minutes but he had not move from his position. She was finding it hard to maintain her act. Almost immediately she felt a hand on her button, fiddling or something like that. When it was getting too much, she snapped her eyes open only to see him trying to free his chain from her shirt button.

He had not noticed her eyes were already opened and staring at him.

When his eyes met hers, she could see that he wasn't expecting her to be awake. Though it was fast but she caught it, the expression of surprise that flashed on his face. That was the first expression she had seen except the cold and stern one.

He look down at his hands on her button and back on her face. "It's stuck." That was all he said. It was clear that he was not used to him explaining to others.

Kamlyn nodded. She just wanted to get this over with.

Ethan immediately got back work. Trying to untangle the chains. But it just keeps getting worse. Before he knew it, the button snapped at rolled off her shirt.

Kamlyn widen her eyes before she clenched the ends of both edge together with her hands. She darted her eyes everywhere except from his face. Here comes the unwanted atmosphere.

"I am sorry." Ethan muttered sensing her discomfort but he made no attempt in getting off her.

Kamlyn nodded at his apology but she saw he had no plans on going back. Things were starting to get heated.

She stayed still, calm on the outside but her mind was on a racing ground. It was even difficult for her to breath.

It was getting tiring, at this moment she wished she could talk. She needed to tell him to get off her. Kamlyn braced herself, she couldn't take it anymore more. Without wasting time, she slowly turned her head to him. His stares made her swallow hard. Slowly releasing her hand from her chest, she held it with one hand while she raised the other one to his sturdy chest.

Adding a little strength, she tried to push him a little but he couldn't budge. She wondered if he was doing it on purpose, She hurriedly looked at him but his face was still as expressionless as it always was. No trace of joke was found.

Just when she was about to try again, he immediately rolled off lieing down next to her, Making kamlyn shock by his move.

"You were not asleep earlier were you?" His deep voiced echoed out. His attention was all on the ceiling, making it look like he was not talking to her.

Reasonably enough, Kamlyn knew his question was for her because they were the only ones in the room.

She hesitated a little but on remembering last time, she nodded. Though his eyes was not on her she could tell he could see her.

"Why? Where you scared I will do something to you?" He asked again.

Kamlyn couldn't answer this because she herself was unsure.

Ethan released a sigh. "Do I look scary?" He asked.

Kamlyn squinted her eyes wondering what prone this question. Of course he does not look scary, How can such perfect being ask such. She gave a negative reply.

Ethan was silent for moment before he asked again. "Then why are you of scared of me?"

There it goes again. She was glad right now that her tablet was not with her, and she don't know if this is good but for the first time her inability to speak was put to good news.

"I know you can't answer me right now but I will say this." He said before turning to face her.

"I don't want you to be scared of me. I want you to be comfortable around me." He said with a serious stare at Kamlyn.

"I don't know why either but I mean it, I seriously do." Ethan continued after seeing her dazed expression as if asking why.

Kamlyn blinked numerously. She seemed to be thinking about. She didn't know if can do it but she will try. Unsure of where things were leading from here.
