Chapter 43 Revealed feelings
I left my gaze on him. I tried to save every single detail of his handsome face into my brain. Seeing him sleeping like this, there was nothing scary about him.
Probably he felt I was staring at him, as he slowly opened his eyes. I quickly moved my gaze away, but I felt his hand slipping over my abdomen, and had a gentle grip on my side, pulling me into his embrace. That movement surprised me, but I didn't want to refuse. I didn't want to, but I got Gemma In my mind again, so I had to. I tried to move his arms off me, but he didn't let me.
"Gideon, please let me go." I whispered.
"No." He whispered back.
"Why?"NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
"Because you like to be embraced."
I swallowed. Yes, I indeed liked that, but probably Gemma would take me into pieces.
"No, I don't. Gideon, please."
But he was like he heard nothing. Soon his phone made him move. He frowned when he looked at its screen.
"Seth?"
I couldn't hear what he had told him.
"I completely forgot about that
that. I don't know. You know what happened yesterday."
He told
up at the ceiling.
id him something again, which made Gideon look up at
"Okay."
Silent again
"Good morning, little princess. How are you?"
I could hear Ava's childish voice, but I couldn't hear what she said,
"Okay, you ask her then."
And he gave the phone to me. I looked at him and frowned.
"She wants to talk to you."
I took the phone in disbelief.
"Hallo,"
"Allice, how are you? Daddy said you didn't feel well yesterday
"I'm okay. Awa, Thanks for asking."
"Alice, please teach me
me to skate like you do
I had to smile at it again. I think that was my first honest smile since I came here.
"Awa, I don't know
But Gideon motioned to say yes, If I want to teach her.
"Please, Alice".
"Okars, Axa, but it isn't as easy as you think. You will need to work hand, and it i
it also takes time."
"I want that." 5
She said firmly."Okay." I said, even though I was
was certain she wasn't clear of what it really takes.
"Can we start today?"
I looked at Gideon. He shrugged his shoulders,
"When."
"I give the phone back to Gideon, and you give it to your dad. They can decide, okay?"
"Is that really necessary
"Because you are still little, and you have to listen to your mummy and daddy"
"Okay," she said with a sigh..
"I'll see you soon, Alice
"See you soon. AKA"
I gave back the phone to Gideon. They agreed we would meet this afternoon, after I nodded in agreement at Gideon. I liked that little girl, therefore I was sure we would have a good time together. The only thing that made me sad was to think about leaving her, when it will be all over.
"Alice, what's wrong?"
Gideon's question took me back to
"Nothing. Do you want to get up?
the
present. I shook my head.
He looked at me, and I could see some disappointment in his eyes.
"If you want
u want to
"I can make breakfast.
He stated a little.
"Okay then."
I left the bed, and I left the room. I hated to leave him, because I didn't know if I would have another occasion to be close to him like last night, but again, I thought about Gemma. The worst that I could do was to have a crush on a man who has a girlfriend. When I was ready, I walked down to the kitchen, then I made breakfast. Shortly, I felt a gaze on me. I turned around, and 1 found Gideon leaning against the door frame, watching me.
"What is it?"
I asked him. He looked at me weirdly, then he shook his head.
Nothing
I turned back. I was thinking about his reaction. There was some kind of sadness in the way he said that. I shook my head, then I tried to focus on the food, When I was ready, we sat down at the table. He looked at me in disbelief when he saw my porridge. "Alice, don't y eat beacon?"
I looked at him and shook my head.

"No, usually I'm not eating that, and today I'll train with Ava."
"You should have said that."
"Why?"
"Because you shouldn't do this only for me."
"Why?"
"I don't deserve that."
I put my cutleries down.
"Why do you say that?"
He had a sad smile on his face.
"I think that two single shots of whiskey made you forget our conversation yesterday."
I knew what he meant and yes, I shouldn't have treated him well, and yes, I should have hated him, and yes, I was a fool because even if he put me into this situation; I had feelings for him. Yes, I am a fool; I thought.
1 smiled sadly.
"You apologised. And actually, you never hurt me. And not to mention if you weren't coming for me yesterday, only God knows where I would be now."
"So, does it mean you
aren't angry with me?"
"Maybe I am mad, but I feel like I can't be angry with you."
He looked at me, and I felt he tried to read my face. That made me feel embarrassed, and unfortunately I felt my cheeks were burning. I nervously took my cutleries, and I continued eating. I felt his gaze on me for a few more seconds, then he continued eating, too. After we both finished, I took the plates to the kitchen, and I tidied up. I was about to put the plates into the dishwasher when I felt his hands holding my waist from behind. I closed my eyes. While he gently forced me to turn around.
"Alice, why did you feel embarrassed before?"
I couldn't answer, I just lowered my head.
"Alice, look at me."\\
I shook my head again. I felt my heart pounding faster when I felt him pressing his body to mine. He put his palm on my chest, checking my heartbeat. I felt lost. I knew I couldn't deny my feelings anymore.
His other hand moved up to my chin and raised my head up to look at him. He was close, too close. But looking into his eyes made me numb. What I saw there made me dizzy, like I was drunk. He moved closer to me slowly, and his gaze moved to my lips.
