His Failed Attempt At Apology

CASSY'S POV…..
Gliding my hand through the fresh roses, I inhaled deeply, taking in the evening breeze. The greenhouse was the best place to clear my head.
It was 6pm and I was yet to feel any better. Since my arrival from my parents’ house, I had been moping around and avoiding Carissa as well. I didn't want to see her mocking laughter or ‘that I told you kind of smirk’
She was right. I was still unwanted even after many years had passed.
“Cassy?” Herman’s voice came from behind me which got me rolling my eyes. I have no strength to deal with him.“I knew I would find you here.” He stated simply as he made his way towards me.
“Clearly you did.” I mustered a smile and turned to look at him. “Do you need me to do something for you?” I was as polite as I could be. Some emotions flicker in his eyes but they were gone before I could decipher what they were.
“Not really, I thought I should inform you that your new friend is staying here for a while.” He shrugged like what he said didn't matter but I could note the jealousness in his tone.
“He told me.” I smirked and turned away from him. “But I'm surprised that he came here unannounced and suddenly he is staying here. It didn't even look like you both are friends.” I noted.
“Don't worry about that. Just stay away from him, he is no good for you.” He advised me which made me chuckle.
“Coming from a guy who literally did worse things to me. I wonder what makes you think you're a better person.” I couldn't help saying. It’s his nerves to advise me on what's good and bad.
My words seemed to have hit a core because we both went silent the next minute.
“You know I'm really sorry for what I did,” he began as his right hand flew to his head.. “I know I'm a jerk and I don't deserve your forgiveness but you have got to forgive me.”
I scoffed at his failed attempt at apology. It was disgusting to think that one thing he was very bad at was apology. When it comes to being mean, arrogant, pompous and all the negative adjectives that qualifies an as*hole, he comes first in them.
“Can we not do this? I need rest and your heart wrecking apology is not nice to listen to at this point. Maybe you can try again some other times.” I said as a matter of fact as I brushed past him, feeling giddy as his familiar scent hit my nostrils.
“You can't get familiar with him, you need a clear head and strong mind to be able to achieve what you are here for.” I reminded myself as I made my way to my room.
Slamming the door quietly, I headed to the bathroom to freshen up and retired for the night.
I did my business and I was out in no time, readied in my pajamas when a knock sounded at the door. From the scent I knew who it was. A smile crept to my face just by mere thinking about him.
“Lawrence, you here?” I beamed, throwing the door open. He smiled graciously, something twinkling in his eyes. His soft gaze had me melting down.
“It's too late.” I mumbled, shyly lowering my eyes. I was behaving like a stupid teenager in love and I wasn't ashamed to admit that.
Andrae quite like him so do I. It was a relief to hear he was staying here for a few days even when it seemed both him and Herman were not at least friends.
“You should be asleep.” I added and looked up at him. He walked in and closed the door. “I can't stop thinking about you though.” He quietly said, watching my lips. “What did you do to me?” His deep melodious voice stated, this time quieter. I swallowed hard, chuckling nervously,“I don't know. You tell me.”
His hand came under my chin and slowly he lifted it up, gazing into my eyes with desires clear in his eyes. I knew it was wrong to kiss a guy I just met but nothing felt more right in the world than to have him locking lips with me. The heat spreading in my blood was a clear indication that I wanted him as much as he wanted me.
“Can I?”
I nodded, parting my lips as time seemed to stretch between us. The minute his lips touched mine, every resolve I might have had dissolved into the thin air. The only thing left was pure bliss. I was in heaven, drowning in his touch and his scent. He gently nibbled my bottom lip as our tongues intertwined, slowly exploring and tasting each other.
My mind went blank and all I could do was moan in delight as we kissed passionately, never wanting to stop for any reason. A part of me wondered if we were going too fast, as I felt as if I was doing something wrong.
My Wolf skipping happily within me erased every negative thought I had. If Andrae likes him then it's not wrong to kiss him. I let myself swim endlessly in the feeling of his lips against mine.
Breaking the seemingly kiss, he stared deeply into my eyes before lowering his lips on my forehead. "Good night, beautiful." He was gone before I could catch my breath.
"It's so hot in here." Andrae mouthed, bringing me to my senses.
"It is." I acknowledge as I tried so hard not to think about the tingles spreading through my veins.
"Let's go to bed." I mumbled and soon I was fast asleep.
********
Exiting the dining room after having breakfast, I headed to my room. The moment I stepped in, my stomach churned uncomfortably. I took a deep breath as I tried to figure out what could be wrong with me.
It was just pancakes and some fruit juice that I made myself. I didn't trust anyone to make breakfast for me.
Feeling light headed, I grasped the doorframe and leaned against it for a while. Slowly, my breath hitched in my throat and my body broke out in sweat. I couldn't utter a word as I slowly went down on my knees. The last thing I saw before passing out was Carissa’s smirking face. I needed not to be told that she had done something to me.
