Amelia’s pov

No, I couldn’t fall for him. I wouldn’t.

My breath catches in my throat and I press my forehead against the glass, hoping that the coolness can somehow stop the heat running through my body. However, it didn’t and this time I actually am not surprised.

Raiden’s mere presence was too overwhelming. I hated him, I should hate him, my mind tells me I should but my heart, it thrums louder the more I think about him……..

“You’re glaring out that window pretty hard,” Raiden suddenly joked. “What are you thinking so hard about in that pretty head spitfire?”

I bit into the softness of my tongue until it pained as I riled in my emotions, well tried to. I pull back, pressing my back against the seat while my eyes return to the front, dead set on making sure I look nonchalant as possible.

Just trying to figure out a way to jump out of the vehicle and not having to see your face again,” I mutter sarcastically.

Raiden snorted. “Something tells me you would rather see my face every second of the day if it was possible. You like that we are alone now. You want me just as much as I want you.”

Him not being phased by my words irritated me, him smacking me with the truth I didn’t want to hear angered me.

I snapped my eyes to look at him, sending shots of fury at his face however the second our eyes clash my rage melted. Damn him and his stupid eyes, nose, lips, every damn thing about him that manages to twist me around until I don’t know what I felt anymore.

You’re so full of yourself, it’s crazy!” I gritted, trying to make my tone have that bite to it so he’d know I was unaffected.. even though I was.

Raiden laughed, his voice rich and deep. “At least you didn’t deny that you like me,” he teased just as beside the curb. As the car came to a stop the tension between us did not cease.

I glanced around and noticed we stopped at a small bakery. I raised an eyebrow. Our first date is in a bakery? disinterested even though I am mortified to realize that I didn’t really care where he took me…..

I kind of enjoyed just us being alone and bantering. My heart freezes at the realization,

I peep at Raiden who had already unbuckled his seat belt, leaning back casually with a small tilt on his lips. “I’ll be back,” his eyes glint with amusement as he opens the door, not exactly giving me the response I wanted.

My brows furrowed confused. I watch him step out of the vehicle place. I sat there for a moment, peering at the bakery puzzled.

walk

up to the bakery, disappearing into the small out a small groan.

This guy was confusing. If this wasn’t where we were to have our date, where were we going? My thoughts locked me in my head as I stared blankly at the bakery building. After a while, he steps out of the building, a huge picnic basket in his hand and a charming grin on his face.

My heart hammers–hard and a flush paints on my face as he walks over to the vehicle. He casually places the basket in the backseat before sliding to seat in the driver’s seat. He turns to face me with thatening hot smi that shows his pearly

white teeth

You didn’t run away,” he points out, a teasing tone in his words yet there was something else, relief.

I roll my eyes, trying to stop my heart from hammering so quickly. “Don’t get your hopes up, I didn’t want to spend money on a bus to get back,” I lied. The door was unlocked purposely, yet somehow the thought of leaving him did not cross my

mind once.

I wanted to be here. I wanted to be here with, him.
