ARIA’S POV
I never expected to meet him. Infact, I never got once thought that our part would cross, let alone saving me from those thugs, but I was grateful he did.
What would have become of me, if those thugs really had their way with me?
My dignity, my pride as a woman. I would have lost all, if not for his help.
The hatred i harbour against him, reduced a little.
I couldn’t say I hate him that much anymore, but I still don’t like him.
The dark aura, the dark smirk, the devilsh brown eyes. They are so intimidating as fuck!
I stood riled to the ground as he sent those thugs away.
I couldn’t believe what was happening, not until he stood in front of me, his devilsh smirk, dancing at the corners of his lips.
” Are you a statue?” He asked, when he saw that I was frozen.
” Huh?” I was jerked out of my thoughts by his voice.
” If you want to get fucked by them, remain here.” He said coldly, shoved his hands inside his pocket and began to walk away.
I was gripped with fear at the thought of getting raped by those deadly thugs, so I took to my heels.
I stood behind him, turning back occasionally to see if those thugs were behind us.
” If you’re afraid of getting fucked, stop walking at night.” He said, still walking without turning back.
” Those bastards don’t fuck, they rape, okay?” I said, trying to match his pace.
He has long legs, while I have short ones, so it was almost impossible to catch up with him.
” Stop making it sound like I also wanted it.” I snickered.
” So if I force myself on you, it is called rape?” He asked, his lips curling into another deadly smirk.
” Y-yes, that’s true. You can only fuck someone when they also want it.” I said. ” That’s only logical.”
Once we got to the main street, he stopped walking, and I accidentally bumped my head into his back.
” Fuck! I’m sorry!” I apologize, rubbing my forehead with my hand.
That fucking hurts.
His back was as strong as a bronze gate.
” Where do you stay?” He suddenly asked, taking me aback.
I was short of words for some seconds, my brain trying to process what he had just said.
The Banks Fucking Riven just asked me where I live?
I thought we were sworn enemies, who were on each other throats.
So what fucking changed?
” Huh?”
” Are you dump? I just asked. Where do you live?” His brows knitted together.
” And why should I tell you? So you could come into my room in the middle of the night like in dark romance books?” I asked, shaking my head. ” No, I’m not interested. Thank you.”
” I think you’re overthinking here.” He started, dipping his fingers into his raven thick black hair, which covered part of his face.
He is fucking lethal handsome and hot. That’s an undeniable fact.
” What do you mean?” I asked, my brows creased.
” I’m not interested in you. You’re too innocent for my type of girl.”
My cheeks turned red with embarrassment instantly.
How dare he say such to me. For heaven sake, I’m the face of our college.
Every boy would die to have me talking to them.
” What?” His words were so unbelievably to be true.
” Yes. You’re too slim. You don’t have big boobs or ass, so why would I go through the hassle of jumping into your window at night?”
Fuck! I was so embarrassed, that I had wished for the ground to open and swallow me up.
That moment was the most embarrassing moment of my life.
Banks belittled me, and called me ugly in many ways.
” As much as your explanation is reasonable, I’m still not interested.” I said and grabbed the strap of my bag tightly. ” Thank you for saving me earlier.”
With that said, I walked past him, heading towards the direction of my home.
For some reason, I felt anger rising inside of me, and no matter how much I tried to keep it at bay, I kept flaring up on the lonely road
How dare him?
……
It has been two days since we last saw each other after he saved me from those thugs.
I haven’t set my eyes on him, and I’m glad I haven’t.
Seeing his face would only remind me of what he said two days ago.
But why do I care?
We both hate each other, so why am I angry that he belittled me and said I wasn’t his style?
” Are you okay, Aria?” Penelope asked as we made our way to the cafeteria for lunch. ” You’ve been spacing out since yesterday.”
” I’m fine, Penny. I just have alot on my mind ” I heaved a sigh.
” Do you care to share?” She asked, concern written on her face.
” No, it’s fine. I can handle it myself.”
As we got to the cafeteria, it was already filled with students, and luckily, there was only a table left.
Penelope went to secure the table for us, while I went to the canter to get our lunch.
With the tray of burgers and coke in my hand, I slowed down when my eyes met those dark pairs of eyes.
My hold on the tray tightened.
Why was he in the cafeteria?
I really didn’t want to see his face, but now, his table was in front of ours. It was impossible to avoid his gaze now.
” What are you waiting for, Aria?” Penelope said, and that was when I broke the eyes contact with Banks.
” I’m sorry ” I said as we both settled, grabbing our burger.
I wanted to concentrate on my lunch, but it was closed to impossible, when Banks friends kept talking nonstop.
” Aren’t you interested in fucking any bitch?” One asked, and my hold on the burger tightened.
What was I concerned?
He meant nothing to me!
” Yes, I am. Get me a bitch with big ass and also big boobs.” Banks said, his gaze on my body.
I could feel it, as the hairs on the back of my neck stood.
I pretended like I was busy on my phone to avoid him.
” You know I dislike skinny girls with small boobs and ass, like someone I know.” He added, and my blood turned ice cold.
Was he talking about me?
” Who? I’m so curious.” Another of his friends chipped in.
” Why would I tell you. She knows herself and has been avoiding me for some days now.”
I couldn’t stay in the same space as him. We might end up tearing each other apart.
” Let’s go, Penelope. I’m full already.” I stood up abruptly.
” Huh? But I’m not done yet.” She frowned, her mouth filled with burger and her lips cover in the burger’s crumbs.
” Okay, meet me in the class once you’re done.”
With that said, I left the cafeteria in a hurry, but he was also behind me.
Banks Fucking Riven.
He was stalking and bugging me now.
” What do you want?” I suddenly turned, not knowing he was walking closely behind me.
Our lips came in contact accidentally, and my eyes widened for some seconds before I stepped away, wiping my lips with my hand.
” I see you enjoy kissing me after avoiding me, aren’t you?” He smirked.
” Who said I enjoyed that? It was an accident, get that into your head!” I warned and turned to leave.
” You can’t avoid me forever, Ria.” He grabbed my arm and pushed me to the nearest war in a dark corner.
It was impossible for anyone to find us in that corner. Banks was up to something.
” Let me go!” I warned, my eyes red with anger.
” And if I don’t?” He raised a brow, a dark smirk dancing at the corners of his lips.
” I will report you.” I replied, struggling to get my arm out of his hold.
” You won’t be able to report, because you’re a bitch.” He started trailing his fingers from my forehead down to my cheekbones.
Fuck! My body was reacting to his touch.
I felt my pants dampened and my core throbbed with need.
” I’m not a bitch!”
” You are. Your body wants me, but you’re saying otherwise.” He smirked and leaned closer, his breath fanning my ears.
” How about I fuck that hole of yours and make you mine?” He asked, but I was quick to push him off.
” Go fuck yourself, bastard!”
I wouldn’t give in to a bastard like Banks.
He should go fuck himself, because I don’t bloody care!
