Chapter 21: I Don’t Want To Leave You

They got home and had dinner. The Men wondered why Arnold was silent . He wasn't a talkative but they knew something was on.

He left to Jenna's room and laid comfortably on the bed looking up to the ceiling.

Jenna had came out of the changing room walking to the bed while he kept staring at her.

She sat up on the bed looking down to her hands.

"Aren't you going to say anything to me?." She swallowed.

"Why?." He asked.

"I feel that you're angry."

"And why should I be?." He raised a brow.

"Cause of Ace. He's an old friend, what you saw wasn't it at all." She explained.

"You shouldn't explain all that to me Jenna. It's your personal life." He lowered his gaze.

"He kissed me but I didn't kiss back I promise." She swore. Why did she felt it was necessary to explain things to him? Why did she feel like she betrayed him? He isn't her boyfriend so why did she try explaining things to me.

Arnold fell silent. He wondered why she explained what happened to him. But who was he? He didn't know why but some part of him hated Ace. What was going on?.

"I'm sorry." She didn't know why but her heart was pounding.

"And why are you saying sorry?." He still kept his gaze low.

"Cause I kissed Ace." She replied.

"I'm not your boyfriend Jenna." He laid down with his back facing her.

"Thanks for today. I mean, for accompanying me to see Grandma." She forced a smile.

"Now you've seen her you should go stay with her." This echoed in her head. Of course she expected this. She couldn't stay here forever. It's been a month now. She was familiar with him and this house and the servants. How would she leave?.

She was meant to leave one day and the day is finally here. Did she really wanted to? No she didn't want to leave this house.

She'd seen Arnold's dark side. Every other person would jump of joy but why wasn't she happy leaving a strange and dark hearted man?. Why didn't she fear him?

"Let me know when you're ready to leave." He glanced back at her and then turned to the other side.

Jenna felt sad but why??. What was in this house that she didn't want to leave?

She nodded and slept off.

*******

She opened her eyes to see Arnold right in front of her. His eyes were closed but he was shaking and struggling on the bed as if he was having a bad dream.

"Arnold?." She called waking him up. She looked really worried wondering what was happening to him.

She looked into his face as her face was not far from him. She was now on top of him as she patted his hair gently.

"Arnold?." She woke him up cupping his face with her hand looking at him. He had stopped shaking now and he looked calm as ever in his sleep. That was the first time she was so closed to see his eyes closed. He was so perfect. He was charming. Looking down to his attractive lips she had the urge to touch it.

She had seen that in movies and she wanted to try it. He was sleeping so he wouldn't notice right? Something kept pushing her to touch those lips and she did.

She took her finger to his lips gently running it on his lips. It was so soft and she enjoyed doing it.

She looked up to his eyes. He was so beautiful and dreamy. He was hot!, he certainly looked like those anime characters. Precisely those Italian My story Animated stories.

He slowly opened his eyes to see her staring at his lips. He raised his head to get up when their lips touched.

"Hey There Sugar Bear. What are you doing huh?." He said seductively giving her that sexy look.

Now her heart began to beat fast. Oh my God! She didn't believe she just kissed him.

She covered her mouth with her hand and her eyes widened.

Arnold put his hands around her waist and she felt more nervous. "What was he doing?." She said to herself and swallowed.

"What is it?? You wanted to kiss me huh?." He grinned.

"Nn..no I..I.." she stuttered and averted her gaze.

"You what?." He smirked still holding her.

"What happened to you? You were shaking. Did you had a bad dream?." She changed the topic.

Arnold lowered his gaze.." No I'm fine." He turned his face.

"But you were.. "she halted when she was cut off

"I'm fine Jenna." He sneered.

"You were touching me so continue. I enjoyed it." He whispered on her neck.

"Nn..no I..I was just clearing some stain on your lips that's all." She left his legs and sat on the bed.

"Sure?." He titled his head still giving her that devilish smile.

She nodded. Then the words he said to her came running in her head.

"Do you want me to leave?." She asked.

He took seconds to reply. "If only you want to." He said straightly with his confused look.

"You said last night that I should leave. Don't you want me around anymore?." She asked.

Arnold looked at her surprised. He never expected such words from a shy girl. She really was changing into something else.

"I only made a suggestion. You should stay with your Grandma, you need some catching up to do. It's been a month now."

"I could always visit." She said almost immediately.

"And him?." He lowered his gaze looking at something.

"Him?" She repeated ,not getting it.

"Your Boyfriend."

"My Boyfriend?." She asked knotting her brows.

"The guy from Yesterday." He explained. Then it struck her. He was talking about Ace.

"Ace is not my Boyfriend Arnold." She looked into both his eyes.

"Who is he?." He asked.

"He..he's a friend. We grew up together." She explained

"And he kissed you?." He turned his head to face her and she immediately looked down at her hand. She said no word to him.

"That's alright. When you're ready to leave let me know." He looked up to the ceiling with his arm above his head.

"I don't want to leave." She replied holding her breath.

"Why?."

"Cause I don't want to leave you." She forced herself to make eye contacts with Arnold who was now staring at her without blinking. She felt her skin burn and her cheeks flushed.
