As Francis' lips touched hers, everything just seemed so magically enchanting. Yet, everything that happened in their past seemed to come back to her also. The happiness, the love. But most of all.. The pain. Everything just flashed back slowly like a drama scene. A flashback that she doesn't want to remember.. Ever again. But now, it just did. Then her eyes widened when she felt his one arm snaked around her waist and his one hand on her nape for support as he walked forward with her. So she started pounding his lean and hard chest to push him away from her.
"Francis--mmm! What are you--doing?! Let me go--Mmm!'' She reacted in a low tone of her voice and breathed deeply in mixed emotions when she felt her butt already on top of the bedside table and her back already leaned on the cold wall of that guest room. Then she gasped for precious breath as he claimed her weakling, soft lips again without hesitation while his warm, manly hands slowly caressing her back with his eyes even closed. God! How dare he!
So she gathered all her strength and courage and pushed him away as hard as she could. And finally, that move.. Made Francis stop from what he was doing. Dang it! But he didn't step back, instead, his one hand was still snaking around her waist. But the other one was already on her chin, gently caressing it. Geez, what's wrong with him? And what's wrong with his gaze full of.. Readable desires for her? Was he insane?
Then she gulped as saw him smile at her mischievously. Oh God, what's with that same smile again when he thinks of something naughtily. God!
She looked away. "W-What do you think you're doing, Francis?"
He chuckled boyishly with her question as if he finds it so weird. "Hmm.. What do I think huh? Well I think.. I was kissing you.. And Caressing you. Just like the old times,Venz.."
She narrowed her eyes at him. "How dare you.." She really wanted to slap him. But her hands won't cooperate with her thoughts. Damn it!
His eyes nailed at her that's held with unbearable seriousness. "I missed you, Venz..
She abruptly looked away. She felt so violated and disrespected already. Everything. But those words just did a great job to melt all those negative reactions she felt on what he just did to her that moment. And that's just so.. Unfair.
"Venz.. I said I missed you.."
She looked at him while arching her eyebrow. Her hands were still on his chest. Then she said, "And so? What do you want me to answer then?"
His handsome face became more serious again because of that. Then gulped nervously again when he suddenly whispered.. "Nothing, Venz.. I don't want any answers from you regarding that. But I want you to respond to me on this.." He said then lowered down his head to kiss her again. But this time, his kisses were already deep and taunting. She suddenly gasped for an air to fill her lungs because Francis seemed to avoid making her breathe.
"F-Francis, damn it w-what are you doing again--mmm." She panted in mixed emotions as her hands tried to push away his irresistible handsome face again to avoid his lips but he's just way too strong. God! She gulped in massive nervousness. Especially when she already felt his warm hands slowly caressing her shoulders.. And down to her thighs. Gently caressing it, over and over again. But.. Why on Earth did she feel that.. she was longing for his kisses and caress too? As if.. Even if she didn't want to admit it, she silently liked it too. Oh God, wait.. Was she? That thought made her blush and out to bite her lower lip. God, no! But whatever the case, she still needs to stop him. And she should stop him. That's not right. Damn so not right!
"F-Francis, stop, please.." She doesn't want to shout again, not because of their servants in the mansion because the lattes had their own quarters departed from the mansion. But she doesn't want to shout again because her parents have probably got home already from the airport and the two might hear her inside that guest room where everyone already knew Francis was staying. And that's just so.. Embarrassing. She pushed his hard chest away from her and looked away.
But she realised it's such a wrong move when she felt his tongue lusciously tracing the side of her neck instead. She closed her eyes suddenly. Not because she liked it, but because she felt so disgusted with herself for letting him do that just because.. She missed him. Yes, she missed him. But she shouldn't feel that. Because that isn't right. What her reaction was right at that very moment because of what he did isn't right.
She wanted to slap him. Kick his balls or punch his devilishly handsome face. Because how dare him make a move like that as if he didn't hurt her back then. How dare he kiss her and caressed her like that as if he didn't cheat on her. And how dare him claim her lips like that as if she didn't loathe him. Yes, how dare he! How very dare of him! But how dare her too, for not slapping him right away from the moment he suddenly kissed her? How dare her too, for letting him touch her body like that with that feeling of longing for it too? Yes, how dare she. 'I'm sorry, Love.. I'm so sorry..' She softly whispered in her thoughts.
And that thought made her eyes go blurry and her fists clenched suddenly. Then she firmly stopped his hands on her back and murmured against his lips.
"Francis.. Pull away.."
But Francis didn't listen. Instead, he murmured back softly. "No, Venz.. Please.. Let me taste your lips once again and let me feel your body once more.. Please.." He whispered hoarsely and was about to kiss her again but she eventually moved her face away from him coldly.
"I said.. Pull. Away."
"Venz--"
She looked at him with flaring eyes. "What do you think you're doing huh? Do you think I was just joking when I stopped you? Do you think what you did is good behaviour? Huh? Francis?"
Francis sighed deeply and looked at her seriously. "No, Venz. I don't think of it that way. But I think that what I did is an expected reaction of a man who misses the woman from his past.. So very much."
And she hates to admit it, but her traitor heart automatically pounded in gullibility when he said those words. But then again, she decided to dismiss that betraying feeling and scoffed insultingly on what he said. "And what? Do you think I'll buy that?"
"I don't expect you to buy that. I expect you to feel the same way."
She wanted to laugh because of that. The nerve of him to tell her that! Then she scoffed insultingly again and said, "Too bad. Because the feeling isn't mutual."
He suddenly smirked. "If the feeling isn't mutual,then why didn't you slap me immediately to your heart's content when I kissed you suddenly?"
She was stunned for a while because of that. So her mouth hangs open while searching for the right words to reply to him. And when she finally found an answer to that, she looked away and cleared her throat. "W-Well.. B-Because I don't want to be rude towards you," she said and glared at him.
He smirked even more. "Oh. But don't you think I was being rude towards you when I kissed you all of a sudden? Don't you think I was harassing you? Violating you? Or anything? To give you a reason to slap me right away?"
She breathed deeply. If she'd keep on arguing with him, she thinks she's never gonna win. Because he has a point anywhere. Now she regretted why she let him kiss her and touch her like that. How very dumb of her! Damn it!
Francis chuckled. "Why the long silence, Venz? Any problem?"
She glared at him. "My silence is literally none of your business. Now will you please remove your filthy hands away from me and move aside? You're blocking my way towards the door." She said and pushed him harshly to escape away from him already. And she's surprised when she's able to make him move aside promptly, or did he just let her. Ugh whatever! She fastly marched her way towards the door, angrily and nervously.
She heard him chuckle mischievously. "None of my business again huh?"
But she didn't stop walking, instead, she continued walking until he heard him chuckle again and said..
"Do you know why I said earlier that you are my business, Venz?"
And those words.. Made her hold her breath and stop walking. And without turning around to face him, she spoke up softly. "No. And since when did I become your business anway? Are you insane?" She asked and finally turned around to face him. Only to regret that when she saw him smiling evilly at her all of a sudden and slowly.. Walked towards her.
"D-Don't come near me..".
"No I'm not insane, Venz. Because you really are my business.."
Then she gulped when he stopped right in front of her and continued..
"Since that night that I made you mine."
