Chapter Six
646 Words
Beads of sweat form on my forehead as his gaze becomes intense. But damn, this man looks sexy when
he stares at me...i mean when he stares. I lick my lips impatiently. What is he going to tell me? That it is
enough already?
"We don't need to end this. We can still see each other when you leave. I don't fancy distant relationship but we can try. I know the rules. And I know it's too early to say but I think I like you. We can try, if it
doesn't work out, I'll let you walk out anytime," he impatiently begged.
His eyes are pleading and it's so heartbreaking. How do I tell him I'm engaged? I also feel more than liking him, I'm sure. How do I tell him I'm almost someone's wife?
"I'm sorry but I can't. Please...under...stand," I whispered. My voice sounded weaker than I intended to speak.
Tears now form in my eyes. I didn't know we'll both catch feelings for each other. We both broke the
rules.
"I know it is too early but we can still try. You were a virgin and I broke it. We can stick together... See I'm not good with words. And so all I'm trying to say is, we don't have to break up," he suggested.
Should I tell him yes, and cheat on my husband with him? Should I tell him, I'll be his mistress while I'm
married to someone else? Even so, how long before both men find out?
"I can't. I have someone else," I simply confessed.
He let out a bitter laughter. He held both my shoulders, painfully.
"You do? I never thought of that. Then why did you sleep with me?" He asked as if I owed him an explanations.
"It was something I wanted to do. It's just that, it happened to be with you!!!" I barked.
Please understand. It's already hard walking away from you. Don't make it worse.
"I can give you anything, you know that," he calmly added.
Yes I know but I'm not sure you'd want to marry me. I want to get married. And there's a man waiting
somewhere to be my husband and also pay my debt.
"I can buy you anything. I can give you anything. Everything, if you stay with me," he tried bargaining.
Yes I know. But no!!!
"You sure are a business man," I admitted.
I stare at him as he looks back with frustrated eyes.
"What is holding you back? You have someone else, you already told me that. What else?"
"Isn't that a good reason for me to say no? I have someone else," I said to him with a desperate voice.
"You are lying to me," he whispered.
"I'm not!!! Why would I?" I shot back.
Now, I am getting angry.
"Sorry. I didn't know what to say to you. Think about it. We can still see each other. I have a lot I'll be
giving up too. But I still want a chance with you," he confessed.
"There's nothing to think about. I will have to leave, I think Paige and your brother will be..."
He nods while staring somewhere else.
He looks rejected. Frustrated. And sad.
It's just a week...even less. I can't believe, I care so much about him.
"I'll escort you to your room," he suggested.
"Don't worry, it's just opposite this room. Thanks," I reach for my purse myself.
I try kissing him but he pulls away from my touch. I feel hurt for his rejection but I guess he's hurting more.
I nod and walk toward the door.
He follows closely. It is better this way;
We say goodbye and walk our different paths before it becomes too late.
But his question stops me.
"Would you be able to forget about me, the moment you leave this country?"
