Bella’s POV
Frozen. I was frozen. I couldn’t move or talk do anything for that matter. I don’t know what was happening around me.
That was when I realised that Mr King’s lips was on mine. I didn’t move. I stood there. He slowly brought us from our dipped position. His hands went tighter around my waist tighter.
I couldn’t move. I didn’t know why. One of his hand was around my waist. The other one cupped my cheeks. I didn’t understand why I didn’t move or pull away. D-Did I like it?
That’s when realisation dawned on me. My boss was kissing me. I quickly pushed away. I was staring at him unbelievingly. I couldn’t believe he just did that. Why would he do that?
“Shit” he muttered to himself. I heard people clapping and awing. But I couldn’t stand there anymore. I walked out without anyone noticing.
I walked out of the ballroom. I went outside. I kept walking. I could here him calling my name. But I didn’t turn around.
“Bella wait. Please wait. Let me explain.” he called out again and again. I couldn’t register anything he was saying.
I saw a cab coming. I waved my hand stopped it. I quickly got in and asked the driver to drive. I saw him coming behind the cab. But I just asked the driver to drive.
I gave him my address and soon he was there. I payed him without even getting the change. I was holding onto my clutch on one hand and the on the other was my heels.
I ran to my apartment and quickly took my keys and open the door. I went inside locking the door. I slipped down against my door.
I wasn’t crying or weeping. I just sat there and stared at blank space. My head was blank. I didn’t know what to think.
I touched my lips were he kissed me. A shiver went down my spine when I did that. He had just snatched my first kiss.
Why did he had to do that? Urgh. I put my hands on my head. Suddenly my phone rang. I saw the caller I. D.
‘Mr King’. He was calling me. I didn’t want to answer him. I didn’t want to face him. I didn’t want to talk to him. Not yet. I put my phone in silent.
I dragged myself up to my room. I got myself out from the dress. I put the dress neatly in to my closet and went to wash myself.
Once I was done, I plopped myself into my bed. I wanted to check my phone. But I restrained. I might actually answer his call if I did that.
I closed my eyes trying to sleep. The only thing that was in my mind was the kiss. I tried not to think about it. But it kept replaying in my mind.
I toss and turn. I tried everything. It just wont stop. The way he kissed, it held an emotion I cant put my finger on. Soon exhaustion took over my body and I slept.
The next morning I jolt awake up. The kiss. It came into my dream. I groaned in frustration. Why would it not stop. I dragged myself out of bed.
Luckily it was the weekend and I don’t have to face Mr King. Not yet. Even now my respect hasn’t went down for him. Which frustrates me more.
I quickly brushed my teeth and showered. I came out in my towel when I heard my door bell ring. I searched for my robe but realized it is in laundry. Sighing I went down in my towel knowing its Ava as she told me she might be coming over today.
I open the door only to be surprised. It was him. Mr King. I looked at him surprised. What was he doing here? I thought I didn’t have to face him till Monday.
“Mr King? What are you doing here?” I asked him questioningly. “May I?” he asked me. I opened the door for him to come in. Once he entered, he gave me a bouquet of flowers.
I took them hesitantly. He was looking at me intently. His eyes was going up and down at me. I looked and realised I was still in my towel.
“S-Sorry.” I said as I blushed. I quickly ran up to my room and got dressed. I wore my PJ romper and came down. He was looking at a childhood photo of mine.
I cleared my throat. He quickly put down the photo and turned to me. “Sorry. I was just looking around.” I just nodded my head.
We stood there quietly. Both of us waiting for the other to speak. He sighed. “Can we please talk.” he asked me.
I knew there was no avoiding this. I nodded my head and led him to the couch. We both sat at the opposite end of the couch.
He took a deep breath before speaking. “I know what I did yesterday was wrong. I didn’t meant to hurt you Bella.” he said looking at me.
“Why did you kiss me then?” I asked him trying to understand why he did it. “Because I like you Bella. A lot even.” he said abruptly.
My eyes went wide. Seeing my reaction, he came beside me as he crouch in front of me and hold my hands. “Look, I am sorry I kissed you without your knowledge. But I am not sorry that I kissed you.”
“It was the best thing I had felt my entire life.” he said while cupping me cheeks. “Why?” I asked shocked.
“I wish I knew the answer. But I don’t. All I know is that I feel this emotion that I have never felt before. You make me want to be better man. I feel like I can’t breath without you.” he said.
I don’t know what to say. What am I supposed to say. I stood up and walked away from him. I started to think.
“This can’t happen.” I said turning to him. I saw his face fell. “But why?” he asked me. “Because you are my boss. I respect you and my job is too important for me.” I said looking at him.
“That’s it?” he asked shocked. “It maybe simple to you Mr King. But for me, its not.” I said to him. He eyed me for awhile.
He walked towards me and stood right in front of me. He looked deeply into my eyes. He cupped my cheeks. Without having any control, my eyes closed and I leaned into his touch.
When I realised that I quickly open my eyes and saw him smirking. “If you had said that you didn’t like me, then I would have not bothered you. But you didn’t.” he said.
“The moment I saw you, you became mine babygirl. No one, not even you can separate yourself from me.” he whispered into my ears as I shivered from his voice. It wasn’t a statement. Its a promise. And there is no running away from it. He removed his hands and walked towards the door.
As he was about to walk out, he turn to me. “I will make you mine, Bella. No matter what. Its a promise.” he said and walked out.
His promise, it held so much sincerity, possessiveness and truth. I shivered thinking about his promise.
What am I going to do?
