Love But Hate!

Chapter 10

I look at him and give him a smirk, a shock plastered on his face, but he covered it well. I am thinking the revenge I'm going to do at him.

"You miss me?" I asked him, my eyes are shining - I know.

He frowns but nodded anyway. I smile at him and continue, "Too bad I don't."

"I have a lot of fun with Xander though. He is different, funny and handso-"

He holds my hand making me look at him and I stop my rambling. "It is not true."

"I never lied, Blade." I said to him.

A ring on my phone save me from his stare. I look at the name flashes on the screen and I guess God really loves me.

Xander Reed.

I pick it up and I make a very cute voice to him though I am sure Xander are frowning and thinking of my sudden change.

I used to reject him before, remember?

"Lunch tomorrow? Sure, can't wait to meet you." I said to Xander and I swear Blade is shooting some lasers through his eyes to my head.

I turn to my right and Blade is still staring at me. He is clenching his jaw and his fist but on a serious note, I don't really think it could mean so much to him. I guess I have luck!

"Excuse me."

I stood up and start to walk away from the table when he grabs me turn me around so that I am facing him.

"You are mine, Samantha." He hissed.

"You went away for one months and a half - no text, no flower though I really don't mind but you don't have any thoughts to just tell me you are fine?"

"Xander always be with me - whenever I need him, and he doesn't flirt with anyone like you, so I think I make a good decision."

Sad expression plastered on his face and I am hurting too looking at him, but I need him to know that he can't come to me when he wants to then leave me. He repeated it again and again. No, I don't want that. I'm not like the other girl out there. If he wants me, I need to see some effort.

He let go of my hand and I walk away from him - climbing the stairs to my room.

I locked the door and I walk to the balcony because it is facing the garden. I watch him walk away like he has lost everything in the world.

I sighed and went inside - sitting at the edge of the bed. I hope I am doing the correct thing and I have to tell Xander that I'm using him to do some revenge.

I woke up due to my phone ringing constantly - I ignore it for a few times and apparently the caller doesn't give up. I check the time and it is three in the morning.

My phone ring again so I pick it up.

"Give me a chance. I am worth it." After he said each word, he hiccupped.

"Are you drinking?" I ask him.

I heard him chuckling and he hung up the phone. He doesn't answer my question.

What did I do?

So, I end up getting worried till the sun rise.

As the clock strikes six am, I strip off and take a quick bath. I put on a white blouse with a soft blue blazer along with black palazzo. I grab my favourite white high heels along with my bag.

I need to go to his house first before I went to work.

After thirty minutes of driving, I reach his building - luckily the security knows me well, so I am able to go straight to his penthouse using his private elevator.

I walk in and I don't see him in the living room, so I walk to his room. I open the door slowly and watch him sprawl on the bed.

I walk in and sit beside him. I don't to wake him up, so I walk back to the kitchen and grab a pack of Advil along with a glass of water. I place it on the tray and bring it to his room while I put it on the table beside his bed.

I take out some papers and pen leaving him a note from me. I place it on the tray and make my way out from his house.

He is safe and sound - I don't have to worry.

I walk into my room, sigh in relieved after having two meetings with the board of directors.

I have been in the meeting room for almost three hours that I think I am being kill slowly. I don't know how my brother could stay though.

I massage my waist for a while since I've been sitting too long, and I didn't work out for two weeks already. My physical and mental is at the lowest as it can go.

I take my phone on the table to check for a notification. Two messages and one call.

Thank you for coming. I wish I am wide awake though.

I smile at his messages and click on the second one.

Are you okay? I wish you don't go for a lunch meeting with him. It hurts me a lot. If you go - just take care. Love Xx

I can't help but grin, I think my plans work. He is obviously thinking some ways to get me, and I like it. I get ready for a lunch and put my phone on bag taking my car keys and walk out from my room watching everyone hurried to go for their lunch too.

I reach the restaurant in just fifteen minutes since he chose the nearest one to my office. I enter the restaurant and see Xander is sitting at the table for two persons at the corner of the restaurant.

"I am happy to meet you." He said giving me a big hug. I smile at him and we start to order.

While waiting for the food being served, I told him about yesterday and saying sorry. Well - I know I am not supposed to do that. I don't have any plans and it just come right at the moment.

He didn't say anything and reassured me that it is all fine. I sighed in relieved and he said he has something to tell me, but he can't till he confirmed.

I shrugged it off when he said it has nothing to do with me. After a nice talking and eating a good food, I drive back to Knight Tower and the moment I enter the building - all eyes are on me.

I look at myself and no - I don't look weird so I ignore their stares and punch the up button at the elevator. When I enter the elevator, I can smell a soft but nice fragrance. I can't tell it is a perfume or cologne, but it smells nice.

I walk past Denise and she is smiling at me. I smile back at her even though it is not the hi-you're-back kind of smile.

I open the door to enter my room and my jaw drop not to mention wide eyes.

There's at least sixteen bouquet of roses in my rooms in all colour. I gasped at close my door while I take each bouquet and inhale the soft fragrance of the flower, this is the same smell in the elevator. Now I know why everyone are looking at me like that.

I walk to my table, place my handbag at the side of the table. I take out my phone and I see card on the table. I pick it up and open it.

Sixteen roses for the weeks I didn't send you any. I know it doesn't do much, but each rose says - I miss you.

Love, Blade Xx

I can't help but smile, squealing and almost screaming yet I managed to control it.

I sit down on my chair and look at the flowers in my room. I love it. I guess all girls will love this, but I am the lucky one. The knock on the door surprise me but Denise enter with a smile giving me another bouquet of flower.

I look at him with my eyebrows furrowed. "He said to give you this one after you enter your room for fifteen minutes."

I chuckle and dismissed her. I take out the card in between the roses and open it.

Last one for you - this one said, give me a chance hence a dinner tonight. I'll pick you up at 7pm.

I turn my chair around facing the window. I put my hands on my mouth and scream.

He starts to show me his effort.

Now, this will be interesting.

***

I reach home exactly when the clock strikes six pm. Mr Rob, the one who manage our home or mansion to be exact told that my parents are not here since they have a dinner with their friends.

I nodded and walk upstairs to my room to get ready. I have exactly one hour so I need to rush.

I strip off and take a quick bath which only takes ten minutes, when I am done, I walk to my closet to choose my outfit for tonight. Well - he didn't tell me exactly where we were having our dinner, so I don't want to over-do.

I don't like dress, so I guess I already made up my mind.

I choose a red long button up shirt and a palazzo in cream colour. After I choose my outfit and start to do my make-up. I do a natural make up focusing on my eyes and a red lipstick. For my hair, I straighten my hair and let it down.

I put on my outfit and I look at the clock, 6.50. Another ten minutes, so put my phone, keys and my purse in the clutch.

I choose a pair of black pumps and I am done. I walk down the stairs and just then I heard the doorbell ring. 7pm sharp.

I open the door to someone taller and he bow down a bit to me. "I am Wes. Mr Haford ask me to be your driver today. He will meet you there."

I nodded and follow him to the car. He opens the back door and I slid into the car. He entered the car after me and drive away from my house.

In thirty minutes, I reach Blade's penthouse. So, we will have our dinner here?

He showed me inside and ride the elevator along with me. When the elevator open - I see him standing right in front of me in his black button up shirt and blue navy jeans. He folds his sleeve till his elbow and undone the button.

He looks hot and if he is mine – I will kiss him. I try so hard to push the thoughts away and look at him.

I have step out from the elevator while looking at him just now. I turn around and notice Wes went down leaving me with Blade.

He holds out his hand, so I take it. He brings me to the upstairs – I have never explore the upstairs because well - it might be his private room or something.

He opens the door and I gasped, in the upstairs, I can see the entire New York city and it is so beautiful. In my left, I see a book shelves with lots of book and near the window - telescopes.

In the middle of the room, there is a table for two. I can see two plates of steak along with dessert, one bottles of wine and two glasses.

I can't help but smile.

I walk into the room to the window and touch the telescope lightly. I look at him and he nodded. So, using the telescope I'm able to look at the stars clearly.

I am busy looking at the stars when the song played. My favourite - River Flows in You by Yiruma.

I turn around when I feel his warm body behind me. He held out his hand again and I take it, he brings me to the table. I sit down and watch him open the wine bottle - pour it in my glasses and his.

He sits down in front of me. "What do you think?"

"I like it. Thank you."

I look at the steaks and I'm drooling. "I cook this – just for you."

I look up and I can't help but raised my eyebrow. "Seriously?"

He nodded, and he starts to cut the steaks into small pieces. When he done, he passed to me the plate asking for mine.

I thanked him and start to eat. It is so delicious. If he is not a CEO, he will be a hot and famous chef. After twenty minutes of eating without talking, I have finish eating the steak. I crave for more, but I think it is enough for now.

"Thank you. It is so delicious."

He smiles at me - genuinely, not the smirk-jerk smile. "Welcome. It paid off watching you eat like that."

I hid my face using my hand and groaned causing him to laugh at me and I just rolled my eyes.

"How did you know I love book and stars. I am sure you didn't pick this room by coincidence." I said to him.

He run his long fingers on his hair and look at me again. No playful smile.

"I have spent more than ten years watching you, looking at you and find everything related to you. Since they day you grew up to be a beautiful girl, I have been watching you. Can't you notice that?"

I shook my head, "All I know you hate me. You hate me so much so I am not sure when you knew everything about me."

"Anything you want to tell me?" I ask him. I was hoping he will tell me the truth but he didn't.

"Let's save the s********e other time alright?"

I don't want to, but I don't want to force him. So, I nodded after I sighed, frustrated.

"Before I forget, this is for you." He slid to me a long blue velvet box. I take it and my eyebrows furrowed.

"What is this?" I ask him. He shrugged off. I will know when I open it.

I open the box and see a gold bracelet with charms.

Star, book, music note, letter S, J and much more – all are my favourite. This really prove that he knew everything about me.

He doesn't lie.

I smile at him and he suddenly stood up - walking towards me. He takes the bracelet and raised his eyebrows. I hold out my right hand to him, he takes it to put on the bracelet very carefully.

"The letter J means James not Jane. We're meant to be, are we?" He gives me his famous I'm-going-to-make-you-fall-for-me smile.

After he done helping me wear the bracelet, he kisses my knuckles causing my whole body trembling.

He helps me to stand up and somehow my body swing along with him to the music. I don't know the name of the song but who cares about that. He doesn't look away - always right into my eyes. I look at my right hand on his shoulder. I will look at it every second, I guess.

All I can think is him.

He leans in to me and brush his lips against mine. I tried to push him away, but he keeps me closer to him. I grab his hair and he hold my waist so tight. He bit my lower lips causing me to moan and he groan.

"You will be the death of me."

He leans in once again and yes, he is kissing me - again.

I think I need God's help.
