I really like you Allison

Calvin quickly rushed out from his room when he heard footsteps running away. He saw Allison running towards her room and he immediately ran after her. She quickly entered her room and tried to close the door but he was fast enough to stop her. Allison tried to push the door close but Calvin easily over powered her.

He pushed it open and entered inside, and Allison stepped back. What is wrong with her? Why was she crying? He was tired of seeing her like this. He wanted her to be happy.

"Are you okay?" he asked her worriedly.

"Go away." Allison said.

Why does he look genuinely worried? She would have believed that he really like her if she didn't know better. He was a player. Even Sasha said that he was always seen with numerous women. But he doesn't attach any feelings to them. So why was he saying 'I love you' to the person he was speaking with. He is really complicated.

"Allison what is going on?" Calvin asked again coming closer to her.

"Leave me alone." she said.

Why was she pushing him away again? He thought she doesn't hate him anymore, he even thought she had forgiven him. He moved closer to her and she stepped back, he moved closer again and she continued to move back. With each step she took, Calvin felt a pang in his heart. Her rejection was killing him. Why the sudden change? Did he do something wrong?

Allison continued to step back until she feel her back hit the wall and he stopped right in front of her. She raised her hand to push him away but he caught it.

"What did I do Allison?" he asked looking worried.

"Let me go." She yelled at him.

"I thought you have forgiven me." He said and Allison was almost sure that she heard his voice crack. How could he be so good in pretending?

"I don't have time to play games Calvin. Let me go."

Calvin reluctantly let go of her hands and she felt her heart ache. She wanted him to continue holding her, she wanted him to give her an explanation.

"Allison I am sorry for whatever I did to make you look this hurt. I promise, I will never hurt you on purpose." he said, his voice sounding so sincere and hurt.

Allison snapped, how could he be so good at lying? What does he take her for? He wants to have her and have his other woman?

"How do you do it? Why are you so good at lying?" she began and Calvin's eyes widened in disbelief. When did he ever lie to her?

He wanted to say say something but Allison beat him to it. "You pretend you like me but you have someone else you really like, you lead me on, treat me well, only to leave me broken in the end."

Calvin thought his ear malfunctioned. Another woman? What? Where did she get that? He hasn't been with anyone else since he met her. Why would she think like that?

"Where did you get that?" he asked her calmly.

"I overheard your phone call with your girlfriend few minutes ago. You love her and I am not against it. But can you please stop pretending that you like me? If she finds out what you are doing, she wouldn't be happy. You are hurting her." She rushed to say. He could hear the desperation and hurt in her voice. It was all a misunderstanding, she is hurting for nothing.

"Ally it's not like that, you got it all wrong." he called her short name for the first time.

"That is not my girlfriend. I don't have a girlfriend, though I hope to have one soon," he said looking straight at her eyes.

He's leading her on again, still pretending to be interested in her. She violently pushed him away and made to walk out of the room, but he caught her by the waist and hugged her from behind.

"The person I was speaking to was Naomi, she's...."

"I don't care." Allison said cutting him off. "She can be whatever she is to you. I don't care."

Shit! She was embarrassing herself. They were not even together.

Calvin felt warmth in his chest when he found out that she was just jealous. Wow! She was jealous. Is she interested in him too? or she was just angry because she thought he wants to use her?"

"Naomi is my sister." Calvin rushed to say and Allison's eyes widened in shock.

She felt herself shrink in mortification. Wow! She felt like hiding. Why had she acted that way even when he was not dating her. She didn't have any right to question his affairs with other women. Now she was jealous of his sister? This is so embarrassing.

"I'm sorry". Allison said in a low voice. She felt so stupid.

Calvin just chuckled.

"So you are jealous," He said teasingly. "I like it anyway." Allison was quiet, her face turned the brightest shade of red.

He wanted to tease her more but decided to stop, this wasn't the time. Maybe he will do it next time.

"You didn't tell me you have a sister." Allison said with a low voice.

"Really? I'm sorry about that. It just didn't cross my mind." he said, still hugging her.

"Where is she?" She asked.

"She's studying in Paris." He answered her.

"Wow!"

"Turns out she hates my parents as much as I do, so she decided to study far away from them. They are also trying to control her life. They wanted her to study business but she stubbornly insisted on studying something else." he narrated.

"I guess you supported her." Allison said.

"Of course." He answered proudly. "She said she will be coming back soon. Maybe next week."

"That's great. I would like to meet her." She exclaimed, forgetting about her mortification for a moment.

"She will be happy to meet you too. I have told her a lot about you." he said to her.

"Really?" She asked smiling.

"Mm."

She tried to turn to face him but his hands around her waist restricted her movement. He released her when he saw that she was trying to move and she faced him. As their eyes met, she immediately lowered her gaze. How can she forget how she embarrassed herself a few moments ago.

Calvin cupped her face and caressed her cheek softly.

"You don't need to be embarrassed. I'm happy you felt jealous." he said seriously.

"I want to go check on my sister." She said, trying to change the topic.

"The doctor is still busy with her and he said she needs space." he reminded her.

"Oh!"

"You are beautiful." he suddenly blurted out of nowhere and she slapped his chest lightly in embarrassment. She's already as red as a tomato and he is adding to it.

She looked up at him and saw that he was serious, he wasn't trying to tease her, he was just telling her facts and he meant it. His gaze was filled with admiration and desire and her heart melted. She has been through a roller coaster of emotions since the beginning of the day. The way he looked at her sent warmth to her heart. He looked at her like she was the most desirable person in the world.

"Will you invite your friends over tomorrow?" he asked her suddenly.

"Probably. But I am not sure Delia can make it because of her work. She only came here today because she was off." Allison explained. "That reminds me, how much of your money did I spend when we went shopping?" she asked hoping that she won't hear something outrageous.

Calvin chuckled lightly.

"Why do you ask?" he asked.

"I found out that the pair of shoes I got for Delia costs almost two thousand dollars." She said feeling guilty.

He didn't even know that she bought something for her friend. Who else did she buy for? He found it funny but he didn't laugh.

"About six or seven hundred thousand dollars." he said casually, and her eyes widened so much that he felt they were going to pop out of her socket.

"Shit! I didn't mean to. I'm so sorry. I didn't know that they were that expensive." She said feeling guilty. Now he not only sees her as desperate, but also a gold digger. Great!

"I really don't mind". he said calmly. "You can spend as much as you want."

"You can't allow me waste your money like that." She said.

He only shrugged. Not like he even noticed the difference. Even if she spends that amount everyday, it won't affect him at all.

"It's part of taking care of you." he said.

"Since when do I need to taken care of every time."

"You are talking too much."

If he was allowed, he would have kissed her to keep quiet.

The both of them were quiet for a while, just staring at each other. He was quietly admiring every contour in her body. Her eyes, brows, lips, nose, her cheeks that is still red from all the blushing. Just what kind of cells was she made of?

"I really like you Allison." he blurted out suddenly.
