Chapter 13: The deal
1203 Words
Roux Dimitri is a man of few words. And that is one of the many things that I like about him.
I just find it so attractive. I mean, it is like a major turn-on for me.
Few words but full of sense.
The way he talks, the way his lips move, the way his eyes stare at you..even when it is a cold stare. I still find it so hot.
I don’t know why? Maybe because I like him so much, that even his flaws make me like him.
“Are you listening?” he asked in an annoyed voice.
My eyes met his. I pouted. I am still enjoying watching the way his lips move..
“Yeah..” I whispered timidly.
His eyes narrowed at me as if he is not buying it.
“So, what do you think?” he asked.
I sat up straight, as I tried to remember what he has just said.
I was so busy staring at him that everything he said just went in my one ear and went out to the other..
“What did you say again?” I giggled.
He glared at me but I just smiled at him sweetly. He is losing his patience, but it is okay..I think it is cute.
He is so cute when he is annoyed.
I have his full attention now and that made me happy..almost forgetting how annoyed I was just a while ago.
The table has turned, it is now he who is so annoyed.
He took a deep breath before he closed his eyes again, I wanted to giggle because he looks really adorable when he is trying to calm himself, but then others might find him scary, he, after all, looks intimidating.. it just happened that he can’t intimidate me because the only person who can intimidate me is my father.
“I said, I am willing to do what you want..anything that you want as long as you will make amends with your sister and apologize for hurting her feelings. You should never treat your sister harshly again or our deal will be off” he said with gritted teeth.
I c****d my head and smirk at him.
Did I hear it right?
Anything that I want?
I raised my eyebrow at him, feeling a bit doubtful.
I am not sure if he will do anything that I want, because he is not someone who will follow one’s order or who will do something that he doesn’t want to.
“Anything that I want?” I asked skeptically.
He sighed then his jaw clenched.
“Anything.” He promised and I believe him.
Because of the way he said ANYTHING, it is like he is just forced to say it. Like he is against it but can't do anything about it.
I gave him my hand and he hesitated to accept it, he was about to give me a handshake but I shook my head then turned the back of my palm down.
His lips parted then he gave me a no way, look..so I raised my eyebrow at him..as if telling him: anything right?!
So with a dark face, he half-heartedly kissed the back of my palm, and it sent butterflies in my stomach! I never thought that this will happen!
My first kissed with Roux! I wanted to giggle but I stopped myself because he really looks annoyed.
“Deal.” I said with a smirk and he just sighed.
I bit my lips.
Roux will be mine sooner or later.
I promise.
“Come in!” I heard my sister said after I knocked on her door.
Slowly I opened the door.
My sister being a book lover is spending her time with her favorite book, she had been reading that series over and over again!
I stepped inside her room and she turned towards me.
As soon as our eyes met, she accidentally dropped her beloved book when she quickly stood up.
“Eloise!” she said looking surprised. Not caring if her book is already lying in the ground, which is unusual because she loves her books too much that she takes care of them like her own babies.
But looking at her now, she looks as if she doesn't care about anything, she just cares about me being in her room, and not looking mad.
So, I slowly walked inside of her room and I can see how she is watching my moves with her curious beautiful eyes. She might be wondering what am I doing here? Or why don't I look mad?!
When I am closer to her, I bent down to pick her book and gave it to her which she accepted without breaking our eye contact.
I can see the worry in her eyes. And I felt a bit guilty about it.
“Eloise-“
“I’m sorry.” I cut her off. “I shouldn’t have acted that way.. and I shouldn’t have made you feel bad. I am sorry for making you cry..” I whispered to her while looking into her eyes.
I wanted her to feel that I am serious, that I am sincere. Yes, Roux told me to apologize to her but I am apologizing sincerely. The apology came from my heart.
Sacha and I are not only twins, but we are also best of friends, and this is the longest fight that we had.
And it was because of my jealousy. I was eaten by my jealousy that I just thought of how I feel without considering her feelings.
I have never considered the fact that she is really a good girl and she almost can’t say no to others. And probably that was the case.
I think Roux is to blame, with his personality, he might have said or done something that Sacha can't say no to. But I just can’t blame Roux because I like him too much so I diverted my anger to my sister, which is so wrong.
And maybe because at the back of my mind, I felt like she is taking away Roux from me, which is not true, but since I am blinded by anger and Jealousy, I wasn't able to think straight!
“Eloise?” she called me with disbelief in her voice.
“I'm really sorry..Will you forgive me?” I asked with puppy eyes, and her eyes watered then she giggled.
Without a word, she enveloped me in her arms.
“Of course! You are forgiven Eloise, you know that I will always forgive you..because you are my sister and my other half.” She said while sniffing. “Please also forgive me, I should not have-“
“Shhh.. it is okay, let us not talk about it anymore. I just want us to be okay.” I cut her off.
She loosened our hug then she held my hands.
Her eyes are shining so bright as if she is so happy.
“I am glad that you are talking to me now. I miss you!”
“I miss you too!” I giggled before I kissed her cheeks.
Finally, we are now okay!
