My Bride from Another World

Chapter 12: Black notebook.

Catina

Okay, just open your damn mouth and say something, Catina! Anyone who would want to get inside this room, alone with this devil surely must have a death wish but I don't have a choice right now. I have got to this. Oh come on girl, you are stronger than that, you can do this.

It's no big deal, just a simple task for goodness sake.

Yeah right, a simple task! i***t, this guy is the reason I just had a panic attack. Whatever just get a grip and end this once for all. Okay, I can do this.

"Will you keep standing there like a moron or will you say something?" The arrogant voice startled me and I jumped in fright. "Stop wasting my time and say what you want. I'm giving you ten seconds." He stated without glancing at me.

He closed the book with a thud, it seemed like he was really engrossed in writing on- what the hell is that? I looked closely at the black notebook like a diary? It was raven black in color; there was the image of a black suit and a red tie on the cover along with a signature on the downward part. As I neared his table, I realized that it was his initial signed in gold.

Wow…

That must have cost him a fortune; it looks so unique and beautiful. Where did he buy that? I want to buy one too, I'll put the image of my kitty and I on the cover.

"Take your eyes off that, it's my possession and it's rude to stare. Is it not Miss Ellison?" I immediately took my eyes off the sexy diary.

Really sexy diary?! Yes, even his diary is sexy. So possessive! But possessive about a book? So, what's wrong with that? I'm possessive too about my cat and my teddy bear. Yes, but you are crazy and he is not!

"Shut up," I said in annoyance

"How dare you! Do you want me to teach you another lesson?" He asked while gritting his teeth.

Blast! He is angry.

Mustering some courage, I tried to answer as fast as I could without stammering, "No, of course not. I wasn't talking to you. I'm sorry that wasn't for you. I was talking to myself." I said to him with pleading eyes.

"You are more deranged than I thought." That was his only comment, sly I'm sure it has become his favourite hobby by now, to insult me. “I know I'm crazy, but I don't need to be reminded at every second of the day. Thank you, can we come back to the major constituent?!"

His eyes narrowed and he clenched his fist. Anyone could note the sarcasm in my voice. Darn it, why couldn't I control my stupid mouth. Knowing that I made him angry, I spoke again without giving him a chance to scold me.

"I came here for an important matter. I'm gonna sit on this chair okay because this may take some hours."

Without waiting for his approval, I sat down causing him to grit his teeth. My gaze landed on the black diary again and I couldn't help but ask him this time, "What is that?" I asked pointing my finger towards the notebook curiously.

"That is none of your business." A shitload, why is this man so difficult. "Okay let's make a deal. If you tell me, I'll give you five Aurum coins." I said in a ‘business-like tone. I can't give him more than that, I don't like wasting money. I'm very stingy just so everyone knows.

He scoffed openly at me which I found surprising then said with full arrogance and egotism. "Aurum coins? I make one bar of gold every twenty minutes of the day and you are talking about giving five Aurum coins. That's the most ridiculous deal I have ever heard in my entire business experience, Miss Ellison." The mockery didn't slip out from his tone.

That imbecile!

He is determined to make fun of me, wait, just wait your buffalo." If you make money that much." I took a deep breath then continued, " I wonder if you can even constipate that much." I knew that was a really crappy comeback but I don't think there is a better way of insulting him. Unlike me, he has everything. By the way, his work is very dear to him. I just made fun of it so surely he will be offended.

I watch as his eyebrows furrowed, he narrowed his eyes and clenched his jaw. He clenched his fist and all at once, he slapped his fists on the table causing the items on it to tremble. I jumped and closed my eyes at the loud thud. After an eerie silence, I opened one eye, peeking at him. He was staring at me with an emotionless face.

He is gonna kill me now, knowing that my expiring date is nearing; I slowly stood up and stepped backwards with small steps until my back made contact with the door.

I didn't break eye contact with him all the while, placing a hand behind my back; I tried to move the handle. As I continued gazing at him, I realized that his eyes held something different this time. Surely it's not- no it can't be… Amusement?! He was amused?! Nope, I don't think amusement is in his dictionary. "Get back on that chair Ellison!" I hastily turned my back towards him and opened the door.

Unfortunately, I merely tried to step one leg in front when the door closed with a loud bang. His palm was planted firmly on the door and I could hear him panting. My eyes bugged out when I realized how closed we were.

He was just behind me. His every breath was fanning on my exposed neck. My eyes closed on their own accord and I sighed at the sensation. A delicious sensation! Why did I tie my hair into a ponytail?!

Just then, I noticed that he had placed his other arm on the left side of the door caging me with his large body. There was no escape now but I didn't want to. I didn't want to escape from this feeling, the feeling of being so close to him I may sound pathetic right now, this person has hurt me, and has hurt someone because of me.

Just a few hours ago, I was cursing him, and now I’m lost in his mere closeness.
