1116 Words
I scattered through the pile of papers on the kitchen table. I picked up the paper that I looking for, as I scroll the mouse on my laptop.
I was doing work for Killian, just doing work for four days straight trying to occupy myself from Killian. That night seeing Milah there at the beach, she threatening me I completely shut up since. I hate when someone have control over me that easy, I hate being fragile, but that's just part of who I am. I'm use to people walking over me like dirt, I'm use of being overruled by someone. That's just how I am, running away from my problems when I'm supposed to be standing up for myself. But I never have the courage too.
I'm scared of the outcome, if I tell Killian about her threatening me, he would get mad at her, and she'll exposed him about his father. And he would finally know the real me, know about him. And trust me it's better for not many people to know. Plus I feel ashamed of myself for always being so vulnerable, so weak, not strong, powerless. And now after my experienced with him I'm trying my best to become my own, to not become vulnerable, and weak.
I sigh, and I sat the paper down and closed my laptop. I took the last bite of my bagel as the threw the trash out.
A knock echo against the door.
"Coming!" I wipe my face for any crums left as I open the door only slightly enough to see who was at the door.
"Swan." Killian stood outside the door, looking worried as ever. My eyes widen, and I panic slamming the door shut.
"Swan open up." Killian knocked again louder.
I haven't properly seen Killian in four days, I'd only dodged him, only calling him for my assignments while he was out doing business, but there he was outside my hotel room door, whilst I wasn't even prepared to see him. I glance down at my outfit, I was in only some shorts, a t-shirt, and a long robe, and don't get me started on my how my hair looked.
Killian knocked on the door again, "Swan please talk to me, did I do something?" A Irish voice soften through the door.
I hurried away from the door as I took my second suit case, I had to put something more presentable on. I unzipped the case as I rummage quickly.
Bingo!
I stared at a buttoned shirt, and a pair of black rip jeans.
"Swan?" he calls out.
I started to button up the shirt as I said, "Just a sec."
I hurried trying to put my jeans on knocking over my suit case in process. I wave it off, as I swing the door wide open staring back at Killian with a fake smile.
"Hi." I greeted.
Without notice, Killian wake into my hotel room shutting the door in process.
"Swan what's going on?" he plead with worry eyes, my heart pinged against my chest, he'd cared about me. "Why have you been avoiding me?" he stepped a little closer.
I turn around, squatting on the floor, starting to pick up my spilled clothes that'd I knocked over, not facing him, because like he said I was an open book, and I couldn't let him know the real reason I'd been avoiding him since.
I picked up my shirt, putting back in case, "Just needed some time alone working, I'm fine." I lie
Killian squatted next to me, helping me clean the mess, hoping for him to not find anything embarrassing. When it comes to me between life, something always becomes embarrassing.
"Why didn't you say so Swan?" he furrow his eyebrows, "I'd thought it was because of me." his voice drained.
I turn to him stopping in process, eyebrows raise, "Why'd you think that?"
"Well because for one you did avoid me for a couple a days." he chuckle.
Duh of course, stupid, stupid, stupid.
"-And ya know, I just have bad luck with women." he shrugs.
"Don't say that, more likely the women with you have the bad luck, you are way to hot to not date." I gasp, clapping my mouth shut.
Why did I say that omg! I'm supposed to stay away from him, not get closer. It's like every time I'm around him, he breaks my walls down. Making me do things and say things I'd never say. Curse his good looks.
Killian smirks at me, I blush, continuing to clean up the clothes quickly from off the floor.
"Well looky what we have here." his deep voice says, I turn to look at him, as I gasp.
In his hand, was a red thin layer of thong.
Oh I am so going to kill Regina!
I reached to snatch the thin fabric away from him, as he jerk it away not letting me take it back.
"C'mon Jones, give me my panties back." Wow I'd never thought I would say that to Killiain before.
"No can do, till you tell me why these are on the trip with you." he smirks at me.
I roll my eyes, "You've met Regina once, you should know why." I snatch the thin layer of panties and stuff it into my case.
He got up from the floor, as he help me up, "To bad they'd never be put to use."
I hide my blush creeping on my cheek, omg I can't believe he said that. I stared in his deep ocean blue eyes, getting myself lost.
"We will determine if they'd be put to use on this trip." I smirk up at him.
He eyes sparkle with excitement.
Point 2 for Swan.
"Now time for you to leave, I have work to do." I turn Killian around pushing him towards the door, he spins sharply around stopping his tracks.
"I will be back Swan." he pecks a kiss on my cheek and leaves out of my hotel room.
My stomach felt like thousands of butterflying flying around, my cheek tingles from his lips against my cheek.
I stood glued to the floor, staring at the closed door the Killian just left out mere seconds ago.
My walls are being broken down by this man. And it scares the hell out of me, and the only way to not let him see me, the real me is to stay away. And I have to try my damn best way to do so.
But how will I ever stay away from him, when he's everywhere. And I'm drawn towards him.
This is going to be a long week.
