Possessive Eyes

Stage 5

Blake clutched her fists while her head was lowered all the time. Blake was in the verge of tears and she would cry in any moment. She knew she was annoying but Harrison’s words were too hurtful for her to bear.

“I’m sorry for being a great annoyance for you. I’ve apologized. Whether you accept it or not, I don’t care,” Blake said with clenched teeth. Although he had said such cruel words but Harrison was still as expressionless and cold as always. Perhaps the words meant nothing to Harrison but to Blake, it meant everything. It was clearly shown that Harrison disliked her.

As Blake lifted her feet to leave the suffocating place for her at the moment, Harrison stood on her way. Blake frowned.

“What—Can you please step aside? I want to go home,” Blake said with furrowed eyebrows. Blake’s eyes widened when she saw the bow-shaped lips slowly curved into a hot but cruel smirk.

“Why are you in rush? Weren’t you the one who was begging to see me earlier?” Blake backed away when Harrison made a move to approach her.

“I-I’ve done what I want to do so I want to go home. It’s late,” Blake panicked when her back met the wall. She was trapped! Blake looked at Harrison and gulped down her saliva nervously. Harrison looked so scary at the moment. With his cold eyes and the smirk that was slowly widened really made Blake trembled in fear.

Harrison stopped when he was close enough to Blake. He bent down his body as he was in the same level as Blake. There was barely space left. If Harrison leaned down further, they would share the same breath.

“Do you think I’ll let you go that easily, after what you’ve done?” Blake was searching for the opportunity to run away but it seemed Harrison had perfectly trapped her. She had nowhere to go.

“W-What did I do?” Blake gasped and her eyes closed in reflex when Harrison slammed his arms on both sides of Blake’s head.

“You’ve annoyed me greatly and I don’t think I can hold that grudge in anymore longer,” Blake wanted to ask but before she did so, Harrison suddenly took off her glasses.

“What—Mmph!” before she could utter the next words, Harrison crashed his lips against Blake’s, silencing the female in an instant.

Blake was too shocked that she barely breathed, “Breathe, Blake…Breathe…” Harrison whispered against their connected lips.

How could she breathe normally when the cold prince of her school and the top model that was known for his mysterious charm was kissing her?!

Blake’s thought was interrupted when she felt the moist tongue was tracing her lips. Blake felt the blood rushed up to her and felt her face was getting warmer and warmer. Blake squeezed shut her eyes when she felt Harrison sucked on her lips. One of Harrison’s hands slid down and rested on Blake’s slender hips. Blake yelped in surprise when Harrison bit down her lower lip and took the chance to slip his tongue into the wet cavern of Blake’s, exploring it possessively. Harrison’s other hand grabbed Blake’s nape and pulled her closer as he deepened the kiss. Blake was as stiff as a pole as Harrison kept ravishing her lips. She was still in the state of disbelief but she was slowly running out of breath.

Blake took a hold of Harrison’s arm and fisted on the fabric, “S-Stop, Harrison…!” Blake felt Harrison nibbled her lips before he pulled away; a string of saliva connected their lips in the process. Blake stared up at Harrison with a red face. Harrison smirked.

“You know, you’re a f*****g tease,” Blake bit her slightly swollen lip.

“W-Why did you do that?” Harrison looked down at Blake with the same smirk plastered on his lips.

“Because I want to,” Blake flushed deeply. She pushed Harrison away and glared at him.

“Don’t just do anything you like!” Blake hissed and left, leaving Harrison alone in the dimness. Unknowing to Blake, a soft chuckle escaped from Harrison’s mouth as he ran his fingers through his hair.

“You’re one of a kind, Blake McKay.”

Blake just ran home. As soon as she reached the condominium, she was greeted by Eric’s presence. Eric waved at her but she was too dazed to return the gesture. Scarlett blinked and looked at Eric. They both exchanged looks at Blake’s weird behavior. Blake threw herself on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling before she took the pillow, covered her face with it and screamed.

‘That jerk! How could he do that?! My first kiss,’ Blake bit onto the pillow hardly. It angered her to know that Harrison was playing with her. She was sure of it! It made her mad and even madder when Harrison had stolen her first kiss!

“Harrison Lee, you bastard!”

The next day, Blake went to the agency looking so listless and gloomy. Last night, She was not able to fall asleep. It was all Harrison’s fault! Blake growled silently.

“Blake~” Blake squinted her eyes and from a far she could see Max was walking toward her with his always hot smile.

Max seemed to notice something and cupped Blake’s face, “What’s wrong with your face? You look so pale and restless,” Max examined Blake’s face and caught the small cut on Blake’s lower lip.

“What happened to you? Where did you get this cut?” Max caressed Blake’s bottom lip. Blake touched her lower lip and as her fingertips touched the cut, sharp pain jolted into her spine. What the—that Harrison even cut her lip?!

Suddenly Blake heard loud murmurs and looked over her shoulder backward only to see Harrison was walking in with his always cold aura and his undoubtedly handsome face. Harrison seemed to realize Blake’s presence and caught the girl was eyeing him with a dangerous death glare. Harrison slowed down his pace of walking and stopped in front of Blake and Max.

Harrison looked down at Blake coldly as Blake was scowling, “What are you doing here with this guy? You’ve to take my pictures,” Blake widened her eyes in dumbstruck. How could this guy acted like nothing happen?

Max raised an eyebrow, “I’ve a name,” he interrupted.

“Do you think I care?” came the cold reply from the cold prince.

“Cut the damn cold attitude of yours, it’s annoying,” Max retorted. Harrison just eyed Max expressionlessly.

“You don’t have the right to tell me what to do. Before you criticize me, you should look at yourself first. You aren’t any better than me,” Harrison threw his arm around Blake’s neck and dragged the latter away from Max.

Max clutched his fists, ‘You’ll see Harrison Lee. One day, you’ll lose everything you have for insulting me.’

Blake was struggling in Harrison’s hold as Harrison dragged her to an isolated area, “Let me go!” Blake gasped in surprise when she was pushed against the wall and Harrison slammed his arms on both sides of her head.

“Why are you always with him?” Harrison asked coldly.

Blake daringly looked up, bravely meeting the pair of strong eyes, “He’s the only one who treats me like I should’ve been treated,” Harrison’s eyebrows furrowed.

“He’s been flirting with you, is that what you mean?” Blake clenched her teeth.

“That’s not it! Max knows how to treat me like a human does!” Harrison’s gaze darkened. He gripped on Blake’s chin and smashed his lips against Blake’s. Blake’s eyes squeezed shut at the sudden force.

Blake felt the same tingly feeling and shivered when she felt the tip of Harrison’s tongue touched her lips. She tried to push Harrison away but all she was able to do was to pound her fists on Harrison’s chest weakly. Harrison grabbed her wrists and pinned them over her head against the wall as he applied more passion into the kiss.

Harrison pulled away when they felt the need of breath. Harrison looked down at the dazed Blake and gritted his teeth, “Stay away from him. If you want to be treated like a human does, I can do that as long as you stay away from him,” Harrison whispered harshly into Blake’s ear.

Blake glared at Harrison. The puppy-like Blake was gone. All it had was the fearless and daring Blake, “You can’t tell me what to do,” Harrison smirked.

“Yes, I can,” Harrison sneered cruelly and let go of Blake’s wrists before he walked away. Blake clutched her fists. That Harrison was too much! Blake rubbed her eyes, getting rid of the tears that were threatening to fall. Blake huffed unpleasantly as she stepped into the room she was supposed to have her photo shoot.

It was a disaster to have another photo shoot with Harrison and why the hell it was only her had to work with that cold prince? Were not any other photographers in the agency? Blake groaned in annoyance. Blake was pouting and was scolding Harrison mentally when suddenly she heard a chaos at the entrance of the room.

Blake looked at the entrance and saw Raymond and his secretary stepped into the set, the staffs were greeting Raymond and some of the female staffs were even flushing when they saw the handsome CEO. Blake also went to greet her superior.

“Hello, Mr. President,” Blake bowed. Raymond seemed delighted when he saw Blake.

“Ms. Blake,” he smiled. Blake returned the gesture.

“Please, just call me Blake, Mr. President,” Raymond chuckled.

“How are things going on? Good?” Blake smiled as she nodded.

“Yes, until now, everything is running smoothly,” Raymond laughed softly.

“Hey Blake—Sir,” Harrison's attention shifted toward Raymond once he noticed his boss' presence. Raymond was surprised when he heard Harrison spoke informally since he was always being the quiet one among the models that worked under him. Raymond’s lips curved into a meaningful smile.

“It seems like things are going very well indeed,” Raymond muttered as he stared at both of Blake and Harrison.

“What are you doing here, sir?” Harrison asked as he stood beside Blake.

“Nothing, just want to check on my favourite photographer,” Harrison’s eyes widened a bit but he quickly recovered. Blake was quite surprised by claim and pointed at herself.

“Me?” she blinked rapidly. Raymond chuckled.

“You’re such a cutie,” Blake widened her eyes before slowly hee cheeks reddened, not realizing that Harrison’s expression slowly darkened.

“Let’s get the photo shoot start,” Harrison grabbed Blake’s wrist and pulled her to the set. Harrison pushed Blake behind the camera before he went to stand in front of it and began posing, boosting out his dark mysterious charms.

Raymond stared at Harrison. Harrison seemed different than the Harrison he used to know. His expression…Raymond turned to look at Suzy, his secretary.

“I want all of Harrison’s pictures that were taken by Ms. Blake McKay on my table right away,” he ordered. Suzy bowed and excused herself to do what her boss asked her to. Raymond shifted his eyes back to Harrison and glanced at Blake once in awhile. He caught the passion that was obviously shone on Blake’s face. Raymond hid a smile, ‘Full of passion…That’s how I like it,’ Raymond thought.

“Okay, that’s the end for today,” Blake announced and slumped on the chair. The staffs were busy tidying up the set before they went home. Blake heaved out a sigh and moved her neck in circular motion, getting rid of the tiredness out her system.

Blake flinched in surprise when suddenly she felt something cold touched her cheek. In reflex, she turned to look to her side only to see Harrison was looking down at her as cold as always with two cups of iced Americano in his hands.

Harrison put one of the Americano in front of Blake went to lean his hips against the table, sipping the drink once in awhile. Blake looked at the drink then at Harrison. Was he treating her a drink?

“Is this for me?” Harrison narrowed his eyes at Blake.

“You can be very stupid and dense sometimes, don’t you?” Blake huffed and looked away, pouting.

“Well you didn’t say anything and just gave it to me so don’t blame me,” Blake grabbed the cup and drank it in dissatisfaction.

“Why aren’t you going home? Your photo shoot had ended a long time ago, wasn’t it?” Blake asked quietly. Harrison stared into space.

“There’s nothing I can do either if I go home early. If I’m being here, I can play with you,” Harrison looked at Blake sideway while smirking. Blake twitched her nose in irritation.

“I’m not a toy to play with,” she mumbled. Harrison chuckled lowly but with a hint of horror.

“You’re my toy,” he emphasized the word ‘my’. Blake glared at him before she stood up.

“You’re just too cold and cruel,” she muttered and walked away. Harrison looked at Blake’s back and hid a smile. Just then, he noticed a staff was having problem handling the ladder before his lost his hold on the ladder, causing it to fall backward and Blake was walking toward it.

“s**t!” Harrison threw the cup and dashed to Blake.

“Watch out!” the staff screamed. Blake looked up and widened her eyes when she saw the ladder was falling toward her. It was too late to run so Blake just squeezed shut her eyes, waiting for the ladder to hit her.

PANG!

Blake heard the ladder hit something loudly but she felt nothing. She opened her eyes and in an instant, they widened when they met the pair of deep cold eyes. Harrison had blocked the ladder with his arm! A loud thud was heard as the ladder fell on the floor.

“Geez, how did you guys work? Someone might get hurt,” Harrison hissed dangerously. He looked down at the petite female who was still in shock.

“Hey, Blake McKay, are you okay?” Blake was speechless.

“I-I’m fine,” Blake trailed her eyes to Harrison’s arm which he used to block the ladder earlier and saw the curve on the sleeve of the arm which he used to block the ladder.

“Your arm!” before Harrison could say something; Blake grabbed his arm and pulled up the sleeve only to see a deep purplish colour of a bruise.

“It’s nothing,” Harrison pulled back his hand but Blake refused to let it go.

“No, this is not a nothing. You’re bruised! Let’s go to the doctor,” Blake pulled Harrison out from the room, not giving a chance for the guy to retort back.

KNOCK!

“Come in,” as she heard her superior’s voice that allowed her to step in, Suzy opened the door and walked in with a file.

"Mr. President, this is what you asked me to do earlier,” Suzy put the file in front of Raymond. Raymond nodded and thanked Suzy before he dismissed her.

Raymond opened the file and his eyes examined the pictures with full focus and detailed. His lips curved into a secretive smile.

“His eyes looked more passionate and full with blaze than usual so my assumption might be right. That Blake McKay…She really is one of a kind…”
