Chapter 12 :- Victoria Faith Wild (P.O.V)

“Looks like someone is hungry. Come let’s feed your cute stomach.” I was shocked again. He surely his way with words, he can make any girl swoon on him with not only his looks but also with his words. Gosh! If he keeps going like this with his words it won’t take much time to fall in love with him.

I sighed and nodded, then followed him to where his kitchen was. Since it was still early morning he started making bacon and sausage along with scrambled eggs.

“Can I help you with making breakfast?” I pleaded because I don’t like the idea of just sitting.

“No can do darling.” He replied curtly.

“Please, I don’t like that you are doing so much for me whereas I am just sitting here.” I got up to help him but he didn’t let me help him.

“Veronica, be quiet and sit there on the stool otherwise I will kiss you.” I instantly stopped bothering him and sat down on the stool. He laughed seeing me whereas I glared at him for laughing.

“Aren’t you cute Vi?” He said playfully and I just rolled at him. How can I be cute? I just shook my head and let him be. We started making small talks and we got to know each other. He talked a lot about his childhood and well me I talked about my childhood but where I spent with Jessica and avoided talking about my parents.

“How could you do that.” I laughed clutching my stomach because it was hurting due to all the laughing I was doing.

“Hey, in my defense, my mum was proud of what I did and dad still grumbles about it to date.” He sighed.

When he was 4 years old he broke the limited edition of alcohol that his dad has brought and when his dad asked him where was the alcohol he said that his dog Drek drank it. He was so cute at that age even though he says he still can’t manage to lie in front of his friends and family.

After breakfast, we sat on the couch as then the moment I dreaded has come, because I didn’t want to talk about it.

“So, let’s talk about the kiss.” He said eyeing me at my legs with lust.

Well, yesterday after the kiss and hug which happened before we could talk Aiden came and interrupted us and we parted because we didn’t want the child to see us in such a situation. After that, we played for 1 hour and then I said that I want to go not before Aiden made me promise me that I have to meet him again. He was such a cutie. So, yes, I successfully avoided the topic and I don’t know why I don’t want to talk about it, maybe because of the rejection because why would he be interested in a girl like me when he can have any girl in the world.

I sighed and closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes Robert was still looking at me intensely and as always I cannot look away from those beautiful. I had to reply to him, “ What a-about it-t?” I shuttered nervously.

“Tell me, Veronica, didn’t you feel tingles and sparkles like I felt? Please don’t deny it because your eyes gave me yesterday enough proof that you enjoyed it a lot.” He said with all seriousness.

I blushed a little when the image of us kissing behind the closet door came flashing into my mind. I took a deep breath and replied, “No, it's not what you think.” It was a plain lie but I can’t accept him in my life where my parents haunted me. He deserved someone better, who doesn’t have scars of the past. Tears started to whelp in my eyes but I swallowed the lump in my throat and bit my inner cheeks to stop my tears to flow in front of him.

“You are lying.”

“No, I am not lying. I didn’t felt what you described.”

In one swift moment, I was sitting on his lap and stranding his legs. I gasped as tingles spread all over my body and millions of butterflies were dancing in my stomach. His hands circled my waist and he pulled me close, there was no space left between us. I had to put my hands on his chest so that I can create some distance between us.

He looked at me instantly and said, “Tell me, Veronica, you are not feeling butterflies in your stomach? Tell me you are don’t feel good in my arms? Tell me that what I am feeling is wrong?”

Tears filled my eyes because this all felt nice but I can’t let him in. I am too broken to be mend, and he deserves a girl who is far better than me. I started to pull away from him but he wouldn’t budge.

“What happen, Veronica, don’t have anything to say?”

I didn’t reply because if I open my mouth I will say things that will say otherwise. He pulled me again towards his chest and in one swift moment, his lips were on mine. My brain refused to co-ordinate with me. I stopped struggling and my hands instantly wrapped around his neck and my fingers went in his hair and then I pulled his close to deepen the kiss. It felt so nice to kiss him. It was like I was safe in his arms, he was my home, my everything.

As if realizing breathing is necessary, we parted our ways. I looked in his eyes, it was filled with mixed emotions.

“See, I proved you I was not wrong. You feel the same.”

Shit!
