REBELS

Episode 15

"Because you belong to me, Mia, " he clarified, and my name sounded so good coming from him that a sudden wave of heat shook my body, making me vibrate inside.

But I quickly recovered, ignoring those strange sensations being only able to pronounce a:

-That?

What did he say?

Had I heard correctly or... Had this boy said that I belonged to him?

-Sorry? I was outraged, disbelief showing in my tone of voice and expression. Just because my name is Mia doesn't mean that it belongs to every man who pronounces it, eh? And you will not be the exception —I clarified seriously.

Only my subconscious knew the truth.

I would like to be yours.

He looked at me a little confused as I did to him, what was happening?

I took a step forward, looking up at him. I moved my head to the side and raised both eyebrows as I caught a glimpse of a mocking smile on his face.

"All your life you've belonged to me, Mia," he clarified using a voice that only made me want to prostrate myself at his feet, he moistened his pink lips and I had to resist the sudden urge to kiss him.

Demons. What was wrong with me?

"You're beautiful," his sudden flattery caught me off guard, I looked up at him and, noticing how he raised his hand with the intention of touching my face, I backed away.

"What are you doing, crazy stranger?" I blurted out without preamble.

"I only admire the beauty of my queen," he answered simply, and he seemed sincere.

"I'm sorry, but I think you've got it wrong," I started to tell him, taking several more steps back, which he immediately shortened. I just want to go.

"I already told you that won't be possible, queen," he said, appearing serene. From today you will always live with me," he added with a demanding note.

"Did you smoke anything before you came here or what?" I couldn't help but ask, he laughed. I must admit that his laugh had sounded beautiful to me, for the first time I could tell that he had felt something strange in his stomach. Something stirred inside me when I saw him laugh, and without wanting to, without being able to hold it back, I laughed.

They couldn't blame me, laughs are contagious.

It was only for a slight moment, it had escaped me.

"I withdraw what I said because I can already affirm that yes," I told him, pretending to be serious. I crossed my arms and watched him harden, a certain defiance sparking in my eyes.

"If I smoked what you've claimed it would, it wouldn't affect me at all," he informed me. Let me tell you that right now I have all my senses active, I'm not crazy and I haven't smoked anything either, so I hope you believe me when I tell you that you are beautiful.

His words made my serious countenance fall. What was she supposed to tell him? I could feel the heat taking over my cheeks, what he said had increased my heartbeat suddenly while my face showed a timid and confused expression.

Was today the day to leave Rouse in extreme confusion or what?

Throughout the morning I had come across things that I still couldn't understand, much less put logic to it.

"It's not that I have low self-esteem to deny my…beauty." I uttered that last word slowly. So, thank you." I laughed, unable to believe that she was thanking her as she shook her head. Going back to the other… I don't have money to pay for the damages and I don't want to go to jail either so please,” I begged, clasping my palms in front of my chest. Let me go before the grumpy one arrives.

"Forget what happened," he said instantly, "there's nothing to pay, and you're not going to jail for breaking something insignificant either... But did you say grumpy?"

—But they told me that it was important to someone, and yes —I affirmed— grumpily, someone said that the owner was, well that. And also, the same person told me that he had to leave because he could do something to me, I don't want to imagine what, but…” I trailed off as he pressed his index finger against my lips, shutting me up. He hissed, and at that moment I realized we were too close. I hadn't realized, by trying to explain, that he had lessened the distance between us.

"The only thing he wants to do to you right now is kiss you," he said in a low tone and a husky voice, then I watched as he soaked his lips with his tongue, giving it a more vivid and... appetizing color. I blinked several times because I was speechless and breathless from that damn sexy gesture. He wants to feel your soft lips against his for the first time." He slid the finger that was pressing my lips to the side, gently holding the left side of my face and letting his thumb brush my bottom lip.

From one moment to the next I felt my lips very dry, I had the intention of soaking them but I stopped myself. My blue eyes met his light brown irises, as clear as honey.

"You are much more important than an ancient lifeless vase," he clarified, running his thumb toward my left cheekbone in a soft caress. His fingers felt damn good against the skin of my face. For that reason alone he hadn't pushed me away from the start.

"How can you be so sure of that?" —I questioned without realizing anything, his eyes had me hypnotized, her wild gaze produced small spasms in my body, keeping me very unfocused.

-Because I'm.

"What?" I said with a frown, the smug look and the smile that crossed his face made me understand his statement— What! I pronounced when I came out of my reverie, understanding everything.

"That grumpy boy they told you about is me," he confirmed. All the tranquility had evaporated from the environment to leave in its place a heart that was too fast, that is, mine.

I moved away from him, putting a prudent distance between us while observing the environment. The guards had returned to their positions and in the distance, at the entrance of the house, I could see my friend talking to Edward. And not so far from them Hazal and her boyfriend?

The black gate was completely closed, it was too high to be able to climb it and something sharp could be glimpsed at its top, the walls on its sides had the same height. He had no escape, although where would he go if he managed to get out of here?
