ARE YOU SCARED OF ME?

She shut her eyes tight anticipating the hit, but all she felt was a brush of hair swept behind her ear. She flung her eyes open in shock.

She fixed her wide open eyes on him, staring bewildered. It came as an immediate shock to her, like! she never expected it, and why would he do that?

Her mind was on overdrive mode, she didn't even cease, to blink and the worst part of it was he still had his normal expression on while looking her straight in the eyes. Like God! could this man at least show something. It was making it weird by the moment.

"Blink." He reminded her after seeing her eyes all teary and red due to the plenty of air getting in without a break.

Kamlyn immediately blinked her eyes, hurriedly obeying his command as his voice snapped her out from what ever reverie she was trapped in.

Her mouth moved in a open and close motion. As if being reminded of the fact that she can't get vocal for the time being, she slowly shut her lip. She mentally berated herself for not being with her tablet.

"What? you want to say something?" Ethan asked her.

She looked at him for a long time before she slowly responded with a nod.

"Should I go get your Tab for you?" He asked again.

Kamlyn eyed him well enough, trying to find any trace of joke or mischief on him but all she could see was utter seriousness, not even a smile was apparent.

How could she think he could joke with her. This wasn't Axel here.

She raised her hands waving sideways indicating a No.

Ethan calmly looked at her. If she doesn't need him to get the tablet for her then..... how was she going to tell him what she wanted to.

Kamlyn's thoughts were just in disarray. After rejecting his help, she brought her head down again.

Unfortunately, the was no escape for her this time.

Ethan brought his fingers towards her chin and raised her head up again, making her look at him directly.

Kamlyn was caught off guard by this unexpected move. Looking him right in the eye was another doom of it's own. Suddenly he spoke.

"Are you scared of me?" He dropped this particular question, waiting for her to reply with either a yes or no.

He had been noticing the way she was around him. So stiff and conscious. Yes! he knew he exudes such frightening aura, and many people are like that Infront of him, but with her it feels different.

Normally it doesn't matter when others act like that because of him, it was just not his business the way people behave around him. But he felt uncomfortable with her behavior around him.

He reasoned it out earlier and just used the excuse that she is now his younger sister and responsibility so it is natural to develop such feelings. But he asked himself why he doesn't feel same towards Axel.

That question got him thinking hard. He just brushed it off like an irrelevant thought, till this minutes he hasn't be able to answer that.

Back to the Matter on ground, he stared hard at her to hear her reply, frightening her with his sharp gaze.

Kamlyn was not herself anymore. She was inwardly debating on the answer to give to him. Yes! she was extremely scared of him, hell scared!. But she can't possibly tell him that could she? And she can't say No either. That will be lying. But she was unsure of how he was going to take her honest reply which made her remain hella quiet just staring at him.

"You don't have to be afraid, it's just a question. Are you scared of me?" He repeated, this time inching closer while adjusting his one hands on the wall right next to her cheek, making her push herself more against the wall.

She was utterly disorganized, mentally to physically. His fingers were still on her chin preventing her from looking away again.

She sucked in a huge lung of air, her breath was getting ragged. She subconsciously took a bite of lower lip due to rush of different emotions running through her. Little did she know that this slight reflex actions of hers caught Ethan's attention.

His gaze immediately traveled to her lips and was stuck there.
