Ahem! He is indeed seriously asking for this, huh?
"One week? For what exactly? Or better still, why? You should..."
My lips are sealed by his finger on my lips, a gesture that stirs the butterflies in my . I don't know what they are celebrating, because they are flying all over my with ecstasy. What kind of charm does this guy possess? What kind of spark is ? I do not remember feeling this way, even for that idiot, Leo. Why am I even him to affect me this way?
"As a way of thanking me for everything. You said you wanted to do something, ?"
Whoa!
I smirk at his words. Really? I slap his finger away from my lips, gathering my to challenge this devil. "Yes, and you clearly and boldly stated that I do not ..."
"To do a thing? But now I am asking you to do something!" He cuts me off, finishing sentence for me.
This has to be either a serious joke or he is up to creeping the hell out of me in the one he is asking. "What are you up to, Mr. Almeda? Because you are beginning to on my nerves. What games are you playing?" I mumble with all honesty. He is tickling my temper, and I don't want to unleash it on him.
He shrugs his shoulders, gesturing his innocence. "I want to be your company. A to show you around the city and be your host. After that, I will leave you to your vacation in peace without my annoying face around."
Well, I am delighted that he realizes he is fucking annoying, well, not always, but I how he parades his pride in that though. Wait a minute, so this is about that offer he made yesterday? He sure is so determined to pull all strings to get my pants, including bearing with me for a whole week. How aggressive, huh?
He sure knows how to play his cards well.
A week, huh! A week for me to be enjoying the sites during the day, and at night, I be his site to explore and enjoy. To satisfy his desires.
"At the expense of what, if I may ask?" I ask just so to give him the benefit of the because that idea is so unsettling. I should be preparing a slap to shut his damn the moment he finishes the sentence. He needs to be taught a lesson, and I do care if he beats me black and blue after. How can he ask for my body and my as the price for just showing me around?
I drop my gaze at his sugary lips as they open to speak, giving me the honor of every single letter. "NOTHING!"
A moment of screaming silence passes with our eyes locked!
I am bathing in shock and disbelief. Nothing? Another way to lure me into his trap?
He wants to make me believe that he will do all that for free. What kind of idiot does think I am?
We lock eyes for a decade, our eyes scanning each other. Nobody speaks. I am until he decides to bring me out of this shock as he speaks again.
"Absolutely nothing, Ellie!" He affirms, his voice tinged with bits of sincerity.
I don't understand him. I don’t think I want to fall for this.
"I thought your services were not free. You had such a terrific deal yesterday. What's the sudden change?" I challenge, and he takes a step back, wearing his crown of smirk.
"That? You take things way too seriously, and it's not good. That was a harmless joke, I can't refuse if you want us to go by that deal. I mean, you are as hot as fuck. It be a life goal to have you warm my bed, even just for a day,” He winks, a wide on his face that makes it shine so bright.
"You are such a jerk!" I curse.
"I know. Thank you. Now move this beautiful ass of yours upstairs and get changed.
The seven days start now!"
What the hell?
I won't deny that the idea of me stepping out of this house is exciting. Heck! I haven't seen the daylight since I walked in here. I haven't had time to tour any city since
I was little. This is beyond ecstasy. It's overwhelming, but this guy, can I trust him?
He is like a chameleon - one minute he seems so innocent as a baby and nice and , or a pitiful troubled soul. But the next minute he is an uncontrollable drunkard, then next he is a seductive flirt, a proud arrogant, and an annoying thorn in the ass.
Of all his personalities, I can only deal with one - the rare one that he is trying his best hide. How can I handle all the other three, huh?
"Where exactly are we going?" I mumble, still unsure if I can stand him for this one . I hope he won't be walking around with a bottle of whiskey whenever we go . I might end up smashing the damn bottle on his head.
"Surprise."
Aha! There he goes again, arousing goosebumps in my belly with his weirdness. He just stop being so...
"Having an undivided mind? Can't you stand me for a week?" He startles me.
We are so much different. We are like opposite poles. I highly doubt I can handle him, , but I am willing to challenge him and myself too. Let's see how crazy this week will be for us. I hope we will not strangle each other to death before it even .
"I can handle more than you ever can imagine," I offer him my right hand for a to seal the deal. "I accept your offer." He shakes my hand, his touch electric shivers all over my body, but I try to shake off the feeling. I press his and show him my bitchy side. "And for that one week, you are gonna have to your alcohol consumption to at least a glass per day. And that is an order, Mr.
Ameda! Any violation, and I will be out of this deal and out of this house!" I utter that enough, reading his face as it turns pale at my words.
His hand twitches in mine, and his eyes fire deadly glances at me. He opens his sweet to speak, but I cut him off, pressing and hugging his hand tight in mine, "You already sealed the deal, Mr Damian Almeda! You have no choice!" This time, as searches my face, I give him a bitchy wink that sends his eyebrow up.
