Amelia’s pov

Raiden’s grin widened and I knew he could see right through my lying excuse. “Right baby, let’s go with that lie,” smirking while he shifts the car back into gear.

My ego would not make me stay quiet or let him be right so with a glare I snapped. “It’s not a lie!”

His chuckles move loud and deep in the confines of the vehicle as he pull away from the curb. ” Sure baby,” he was clearly amused by my defensiveness. “Keep telling yourself that.”

I glared at him, feeling my cheeks hot with burning frustration. His cockiness and playfulness were irritating and I hated that he could see right through me. Hiding my true self from Raiden was impossible. He already knew.

“I don’t know how you manage to be so annoying all the time,” I mutter, crossing my arms over my chest and turning away from him so he’d not see the burn of red on my cheeks. Even though I was sure he had already seen it.

Raiden didn’t reply and I had a feeling he just didn’t want to poke the bear also known as me more. I liked the silence, I liked being in his space, breathing his air, feeling his heat and presence beside me.

It felt comforting. I liked being with Raiden. And the understanding of this scares me. I glance over at him a bit, watching the way he looked so focus on driving. It feels like we had been in this car since forever, yet not a moment had been boring.

Just us in the car, driving, bantering playfully and just the peaceful silence was something I seem to enjoy and that alone was terrifying.

I swallowed hard, pulling my gaze away from his and focusing on the trees that blurred by. It feels like we were heading more into the forest and though any sane person would be scared and nervous to be alone with their enemy, I felt the opposite.

In fact I felt anything but terrified, the buzzing of excited nerves courses through me instead. That realization hit me harder

than a bulldozer and I press my lips into a line while I remind myself inwardly that I could not afford to fall for someone like

him.

Hmmm Spitfire quiet? What’s running through that head of yours?” Raiden teased, breaking the silence that had stretched

between us.

I fixed myself on the seat, pretending to be casual while I utter. “Just wondering how long until you run out of ways to annoy me,” I shrug, sneaking a glance at him to see his reaction to my words.

I have realized too that I like to keep my tone sharp and be angry with him as a reflex to keep him from seeing my true

emotions. But with Raiden, it feels like all those emotions I try to hide is literally on my sleeve twenty four seven.

Raiden grinned, looking so boyish and happy here that he literally manages to take

baby, I have an endless supply,” he joked, sparing me a glance to wink at

my breath away. Don’t worry about that

You’ll never grow bored.”

I bit my tongue, my face burning as I quickly looked away to hide

my mouth.

He made it so easy to get caught up in the little banter and his smiles, to forget why I should really hate him. I let out a small frustrated sigh, my mind pushing all the reasons I should hate him to the forefront.

However his mere presence and the buzz of excitement to see where he was taking me overpowered it and I find myself on edge, a good edge for this date.
