Amelia’s pov

I narrowed my eyes on him while trying to fight off the warm flush creeping up my neck by his words. “You don’t get to boss me around,” I huffed.

Despite my words, I find myself settling on the red and white checkered blanket. I crossed my legs beneath me, thankful when a gust of cool wind brush against my flamed cheeks. I had a feeling my face was red from being teased every second by

him.

Raiden’s lips curved into a grin that made the already wild butterflies in my stomach flutter more savagely. He settles on the blanket, stretching out beside me and angling his body toward me as he propped himself on his elbow.

He stares at me intently. “I’m in your head again,” he commented with a curved smile.

I rolled my eyes and attempted to conceal the fact that he was absolutely right. ” You wish,” I scowled. Raiden doesn’t say a word, only stares at me deeply. I feel instantly bare under his gaze, and with the way his eyes held mine, like he could see right through me…how could I not feel so naked under his stare?

I move my eyes off his face, overwhelmed by what a stare can do to me. However, when I do, Raiden surprises me when he reaches up and softly rubs the skin between my eyebrows. “Don’t put that frown on your beautiful face,” he utters.

My eyes draw back to his in surprise, watching how laser focused he was on my skin as though he was trying to rub away the frown himself. My pulse races.

I try to pull away, well I wanted to. But my body would not listen and I find myself stuck in some kind of trance. His touch had been so unexpected yet gentle that it had completely frozen me on the spot.

I could not even muster up a sarcastic comment which was not like me at all. I swallowed, watching the emotions run through his eyes like a film. Want, yearning, desperation. I shivered. His eyes scan my face slowly as if taking in every single detail like he was committing it to his memory.

The intensity in his gaze was overwhelming, making my heart pound harder. I want to look away, I want to snap myself out of whatever spell he must have cast on me, but I could not seem to.

was the only

I was rooted to the spot, rooted where it was only me and him, him and I. The way he stared at me…… as if I was person in the world made my heart sing.

His fingers lingered there for a moment longer before he pulled it away slowly but his gaze never left mine. He left that spot oddly tingling and I find myself craving to move closer to him. I bit my tongue to not say something ridiculous.

“You did not leave,” his eyes twinkled, his voice in

awe as if he did not believe something.

My brows draw into a furrow, confused about where his words had suddenly come from. “What?” I voiced my confusion,

causing his smile to look more radiant. He reaches for my hand on the blanket, his touch sending tingles of fire up my arm.

I cannot seem to pull away and I don’t want to.

“You had a chance to leave. To not come along to this date,” stressed on the word date, his when he saw my nose scrunch up.” But you didn’t.”

eyes dancing with mischief

He interlocks our fingers and electricity hums between us, I gasp at the feeling, unsure how I am able to feel so strangely for a boy I am supposed to hate with everything in me.” You stayed,” he squeezed my hand as if silently telling me thank you

I swallowed hard as our eyes connected and a thought ran through my head. Had I ever even hated Raiden? Had it been hate? Or had this been a different feeling all along?
