We live, We love, We lie

Chapter 21

Angela's POV :

"I thought happiness started with an 'h', but mine starts with u." Yakov said.

I rolled my eyes at him. He's been on his stupid pick up lines because he claims that he's guilty for not talking to me.

"Go check your spellings." I replied.

"Are you Jamaican because Jamaican me crazy."

"No. I'm Finnish. Finnish with this conversation."

He groaned and said, "Where have you been all my life?"

"Hiding from you."

"Hey! That wasn't even a pick up line!"

"Sure sounded like one."

"Are you made up of Fluorine, Iodine and Neon? Because you are FINe."

"No! I'm made of Nitrogen and Oxygen, and that's a NO."

"Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"

"Did it hurt when they kicked you out of Hell?"

He groaned again and cursed internally. He dragged his hand across his face and said, "Angela, my dear cute, sweet, honey, darling, baby I'm so sorry ." He gave me the puppy dog eyes.

Weeell, he did make it up to me and it's a small thing to fight for and he looks sooooooooo cute.

My lips tugged upwards and Yakov's eyes shone.

"Fine, but your puppy dog eyes won't work every time."

I also knelt down, but he was taller, so I decided to sit back on the couch.

I kept my arms open and said, "Awww come here baby."

I didn't wait for him to respond as I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me till there was no space between us. He immediately wrapped his arms around my waist and held me tight.

I ran my hands through his hair and said, "I missed you sooooo much even though it's just for 5 hours that I didn't talk to you."

He said back, "5 hours is like 5 years for me sweetheart."

I leaned closer to his ear and made my lips touch it and whispered, "You know what else I found out in these 5 hours? That I LOVE YOU!"

He stood in attention with his eyes wide and shook my shoulders, "What did you say?"

"Oh you heard what I said mister."

A slow smile made its way onto his face which soon turned into a thousand watt smile showing all his teeth. Including his sharp canines, which made him look hotter.

He picked me up and twirled me around. He put me down and kissed my whole face.

He asked me, "Are you sure?"

"My heart beats a thousand miles per second when I'm with you, I never want you to leave my side and nor do I want to. I always get jealous when another woman approaches you. I want to protect you. I care for you more than I do myself, but I don't show it. I can't be without talking to you or touching you for 5 hours. I feel double the hurt when you are hurt and I can assure you that this is not the mate attraction. If this is not a glimpse of my love, then I don't know what else is."

He immediately crashed his lips on mine and hugged me really tight and caressed my hair. "Oh sweetheart, I love you too, more than anything in the world."

"So do you want to go outside tonight?"

"Is Mr.Marciez asking me out on a date?"

"If that's what Ms.Taunters wants, then yes."

"I'd love to because I've been craving pretzels for quite some time now."

"Darling, I know WHO you crave for everyday."

My cheeks felt warm and I slapped his shoulder. I went up to my room and he shouted from downstairs, "Be ready by 7:00 p.m."

I went to take a shower. Normally, I wouldn't agree, but the poor lad looked like he would cry if I rejected the offer. I bathed with my favourite lavender body wash and vanilla mint shampoo.

I dried my hair and decided to wear a blood red long sleeved bodycon dress. I left my hair as it is. I put on a wing of eyeliner on both eyes and a light tinted lip gloss. I got some matching heels to go with the dress. With one last look in the mirror, I headed downstairs. There I saw Yakov staring at his phone with his black polo and khaki pants.

Oh my god! If he isn't a greek god, then I don't know who is. He is drop dead gorgeous! But, not more than me. Kill me now. His hair is wet and messed up from his shower. He looks sooooooooo handsome.

He chuckled and looked up at me. Just then, his jaw dropped.

"My jaw didn't drop, nor did I even open my mouth. You're making them think I'm a sick creepy dude who stalks people."

"Well, I did need to add some effect."

I continued, "Well, technically your fangs came out and pupils dilated."

He didn't realise, so he covered his mouth with his hand. But, I quickly walked up to him and pushed his hand away. What? I love his fangs.

"Ewwww, you are so bad." Wow! His Russian accent is killing me.

"Yeah right, like you're not. Don't think I don't know what you think."

I grabbed the collar of his shirt and levelled his face with mine since I was standing on my toes, "Listen here and listen good mister. First of all, reading my thoughts is a big no no. Claiming that I'm bad, is the biggest NO. I just want you to know that it's best for you if you don't mess with me darling."

I walked ahead of him and he soon caught up with me and wrapped his arm around my waist. This guy is one handsome giant, I tell you. He whispered in my ear, "My mate is a feisty little one."

"Yeah, who said it was going to be easy living with me?"

"You know I have always pitied Stuffy. Who knows what the poor cat went through?"

I gasped and hit his chest, "I loved Stuffy, turns out it was a traitor cat. I knew I should have gotten a dog."

"Okay so shall we start our date mademoiselle?"

"Of course Pedro."

"Who the hell is Pedro?"

"Well you were saying mademoiselle so I thought of calling you a French name."

"You know you calling me Yakov is the biggest favour you can do instead of calling me oversized monkey, Neanderthal, Pedro."

I rolled my eyes and he started driving the car.
