Stella's POV
I am currently sitting on the sofa, playing with a small amount of water from the glass, not wearing the white glove on my right hand as I try to create circles of water floating on the air.
Suddenly, I shuddered when I felt someone put an arm around my shoulder making the water fall on the table. I knew exactly the culprit from the tingles it creates on my body with the butterflies going crazy in my stomach "What the fuck, take your hand off of me!" I exclaimed in frustration.
Kenneth put his hands up in a surrender position, "Relax! Are you still on your red days?" He asked.
I felt my cheeks burning red, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath "Agh!"
I stood up and marched towards the corner away from the bastard, then I put my glove back. Suddenly, my eyes landed on the other side and saw Josh standing in front of Elena as they smiled sweetly at each other, Elena giggled from what Josh had said.
My eyes fall on Kenneth sitting on the sofa where I have left earlier, he is also eying the two. I felt my heart quench in pain, suddenly my feet moved back to the sofa. I feel bad for getting mad at Kenneth for no reason at all, but I just want these feelings of mine to keep on bay before I lose myself and be swayed by my love for him. I cannot just follow my heart for a man who loves someone else.
I took my seat but putting a small distance between us, "Are you okay?" I asked softly.
He faced me partly in shock from my voice as his handsome face held confusion but after a second he smiled genuinely, not with mischief the usual he does but a genuine one making my heart beat erratically.
"I am, since you're here again." He said smiling, then I was the one suddenly confused as my heart started to turn insane. Did he mean what he said? His smile says, he mean those words.
But... "Aren't you jealous?" I said and immediately covered my mouth, shit, I said it out loud!
Once again his forehead furrowed, "Jealous?" Then after a while his expression of confusion turned hard, this is the first moment that I felt his aura turned so dark which scares me, how did he become this scary? "Tell me, is there some other guy pursuing you?" He asked with his cold voice that sent chills running down my spine.
"What? No, it's just that..." I looked at Josh and Elena who seemed busy at the side of the wall.
Did I become defensive just now?
I sensed him looking at the direction I was looking at, then "Oh, I see. No, if she is happy with Josh then I will gladly accept it. Besides, Josh has loved her ever since, so I knew he would protect my sister."
Wait, what!? Did I hear it right?
I turned to face Kenneth once again, "Sister!?" I asked, shocked.
He faced me, surprised with my reaction "Yes, sister. You don't know? Wait, you asked if I am jealous... and I thought... Are you thinking that..?" Then he slowly smiled mischievously.
My heart is now pounding so loud as he tries getting closer. I felt my body shiver from his look.
"B... but, h-how come?" I asked, stuttering as I tried to move back putting a distance from us, but he kept moving closer to me.
"I have my father's surname and she has my mother, that is for her protection." He explained as he got closer and I had no escape because I had reached the sofa's handle and he put both of his hands on my sides caging me.
"Let me out." I ordered trying to move his hand but heck! He is stronger than a metal, I couldn't budge.
"So, the reason why you keep avoiding me is because you thought I have feelings for Elena as a lover, isn't it?" He asked, challenging me while wearing a grin as his face is so close to mine.
I felt my body shiver from his words, my heart wanting to come out of my ribcage, I could barely breathe, but heck, I won't give him the satisfaction.
"Feeler." I said to his face but it seemed like he didn't hear it, as his playful look suddenly held... love and longings?
He raised his right hand putting some strands of my hair at the back of my ear, his gestures warmed my heart, turning the butterflies insane inside my stomach, "Tomorrow... keep safe, do not go far from me okay?" He asked softly.
Out of myself, I nodded in obedience.
He smiled, "Good." Then he leaned closer, suddenly, my eyes landed on his pinky thin lined lips, tempting me to put my lips onto it. I can't barely breathe hearing my heart yelling to come out... will he kiss me?
What shall I do? My gosh, I have never been in a romantic relationship before, what to do? I do not have a bad breath, so it is okay, is it? Shall I close my eyes?
And I did, waiting for him to kiss me.
"My heart is only yours Stella. So, don't be jealous of my sister." I heard him whisper near my ear which made me open my eyes, then he faced me with a grin.
Again, I felt my cheeks burning in shame and frustration. His playful grin makes my blood boil as I bite down my lip, suppressing my anger while glaring at him.
Grinning he said "What? You seem-" but I cut him off.
"Oh, shut up." I grabbed his collar and closed my eyes, pulling him into me as my lips meet his,
He stiffened from my sudden actions. I don't know myself anymore but since I already put myself in shame, I took the opportunity to put it all at once.
