Chapter 8 No.8

"Just a friend Nat huh? We don't control your heart." Kylie's eyebrows rose.

We are here now inside the University. We are resting just after we practiced volleyball. In front of us are basketball players from other courses

"Yes," I answered simply.

"But there's romance?"

I rolled my eyes and bit my lip. I folded my thigh and covered my legs with the handkerchief I was carrying.

" We kissed, " I smirked when I remembered that.

"Just kiss?" Fuck, what does she want more of there? I looked at her so she could see that I wasn't happy with her question.

"Just kiss," I replied emphatically.

"Okay," She touched her chin as if thinking."But do you like him?"

In this case, Kylie is really the only one I can trust . We shared secrets and problems. That's what friends are for.

"I love him," I nodded as I said that. I pinched my fingers where I was pouring all my emotions.

Kylie sighed. "Right! But now he's engaged.What will you do?"

We stood up.

"Nothing. I will just let my heart get tired. I will focus my attention on my studies. I will just love my book, "I said half kidding.

"But, what about Damon?"

Damon? I'm comfortable with him. He's like a boy bestfriend for me. Even if he is rude with others. He was kind to me even though his face was serious.

"We're friends."

She nodded and pursed her lips.

"You do not like him?"

I shook my head. "No, I like him just a friend," I was sure.

The day ended quickly, I knew Kylie also had a problem so she went home first. I think Clinton is being avoided by Kylie. Kylie is jolly. She's beautiful, too. I prefer the features of her face. What makes her look attractive is the perfect shape of her thick eyebrows.

I was about to go home after I put the books in the locker when it rained so hard outside. I can see that from here and the gusts of wind.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon so the dark sky only got darker because of the black clouds.

I dialed mama to pick me up but I was depressed to see that my battery was dead.

"How's that," I said frustrated. In the extreme cold I decided to go to the library first to spend the rain.

I closed the door of the library and at the same time the lightning was loud. But I was not afraid of lightning so I just ignored it. I started looking for a book when the lights shut off!

"Shit! Brownout?" I can hardly believe what I say. I'm stating the obvious because it was already dark, I just left the library holding my only bag.

Is there no generator here?

"Nat ,you didn't come home?" I was shocked!

I hid the irritation with a smile. Somehow I was thankful that I had someone with me here in the dark hallway.

"It's you Mike! Yes, it's raining all of a sudden. I have no umbrella. "

I smiled at him. Mike Esguerra is one of my nerd batchmates. Sometimes we meet at the library because we both love books. Sometimes in the quizbee where we participate. He scratched his neck and blushed.

"We're the same," he laughed a little shyly but we continued walking until we reached Sebe's office which we had to pass by.

My chest throbbed immediately.

No, He's not here anymore. The door is closed but I'm not sure if it's locked and if he's not there.

"Ah, I'd like to ask if ..."

His cheek turned red.

"You ask if?" I mimicked his voice and looked at him hawklike. Come on!

"Please, I'd like to invite you to lunch tomorrow." At the same time, he said that Sebe's office was opening.

Damn it! The timing! I looked at Sebe at the office door. He's looking at me with his dark and piercing eyes. His jaw tightened as he turned to look at Mike.

Mike immediately bowed his head when he saw Sebe.

"Ah, good afternoon sir!" Mike greets Sebe but Sebe doesn't respond.

This one has no manners.

Because I didn't want to be rude either, I greeted Sebe.

"Good afternoon Sir Sebe."

He took a deep breath and put his hand in both pockets.

"Dating in the dark huh?" I was surprised by what Sebe said. I don't know why he said that. He's so rude!

Mike blushed immediately.

"Ah-"

"Leave us alone," Sebe firmly commanded Mike, not leaving his eyes on me.

My heart pounded. Mike was surprised by what he said and turned to me innocently.

"Ah, all right. Nat? Let's have lunch tomorrow?" He kept asking me.

"She can't be tomorrow, "Sebe cut him off! Damn! He's rude!

"Leave us now," And he almost uttered a strong joint. My leg almost shook at the apparent anger now towards Sebe.

Why else would I stare at him? I don't need him at all. Even if it's dark, I can do it handle myself.

"I'm leaving too," I respectfully said goodbye but one step away from him he grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his office.

He closed and locked the door!

I could barely process in my brain what happened,!

"Why did you take me in--"

"Why? You want to be out there because that Esguerra is there?" He almost thundered throughout his office saying that. Even though the rain and wind were loud outside, Sebe's voice prevailed.

What? What he is saying ?? He waved his hand in front of me as I was near his desk.

"What are you saying?" I asked.

Why he's acting like an idiot now? Huh? He scoffed and licked his lips.

"I know you know what I mean. Are you two dating?"

I really can't believe it.

"Were not dating!" I insisted. "What's wrong with you, don't touch me!"

If he had a problem then I don't care! He touched my hand again.

"You're my problem Natalia."

What? Me?

"I'm going crazy in my life! I'm going crazy because I'm avoiding you even if I don't want to ! Now I'm even crazier because you're with someone else !! "

My eyes immediately warmed to what he said.

What is this huh? He bent down and rubbed his neck.

"I don't get you," I said recovering. "I try to understand Sebe but it's hard!"

He heaved a sigh and he approached me. At the same time as the lightning outside, my chest throbbed. Please don't make it hard for me Sebe.

He held my waist and he could hardly carry me and lay me down on the table. So I was held by his arm

"I know it's hard for the two of us," he said softly and cupped my cheek in his palm. I can feel the warmth from his body.

He bit his lips again so I looked there. My heart is pounding now.

"I know that you know," He seemed to make me understand his word and situation.

"I know that you're engage."

"Like I said Natalia," He touched my cheeks. "Being the older Grandson of our Empire is not easy," He stated

I looked at him same intensity. Now tell me. I will understand.

"I have to do what they say for the wealth of the clan." he cursed. "But I'm working my way up."He leaned closer as he was almost in the middle of my thigh.

"Just please wait for me. I promise. It will end soon," he said softly and kissed me on the forehead.

No I get it. Are they fixed marriage? For their clan? To grow more and get richer?

"Do you love her?"

"You know who I love," he smiled devilishly. Gosh. I'm melting.

"Who?" I asked and smirked mentally. Please tell me.

"The girl named Natalia. The one who captured my heart. The one who's with me right now."

I inhaled his fragrant breath because he was so close to me...my stomach is almost rumbling now.

He rested his forehead on my forehead. Our nose almost touching.

"I missed you," he said in a whisper and hugged my arm.

"S-Sebe," I'm trembling!

"Hmmm?" He hummed.

I gently touch his arm, up to his wide and handsome shoulder and until I can touch both of his jaws.

He's so perfect. He's the prince of my own love story.

"I--" Fuck. I can't say it!

"What huh?" He teased.

But before anything else I lifted my head and pulled his face down to mine so that our lips could meet. He wasn't even surprised he seemed to know and was looking forward to what I would do. So he immediately hugged me even more and kissed my lips even more that I almost moaned.

He pulled my waist on his bulge and I clinged my legs on his waist. I didn't have a hard time because I was sitting at the table. This night is wonderful.

"S-sebe," I moaned and I grind myself more. I'm getting hot. Is that so? My body seemed to move spontaneously in need.

"Natalia," He protested when I was about to take off his polo.

"What?"

"Don't do this again," he adjusted our seat. He stood me up and fixed my hair and uniform.

I was almost depressed.

"Maybe I can do what I really want to do with you," he said in a serious tone.

I was so devastated!
