Chapter Three

I took a deep breath and smiled at the mirror in front of me. My heart can't stop pumping so hard after I went in Aki's room.

This is my first time to actually sleep in his room and I feel like a bride who is at her honeymoon night.

Thought I don't intend to make love with him but if the circumstances lead to that I won't regret doing it.

Making a final check on my appearance on the mirror – bravely I went out and froze.

' What are you doing ? ' I asked a frown was visible in my face.

' Getting a pillow and a few blankets ' he said gathering those stuff.

' Why? ' I said confused before coming close to him.

He then slowly turn to my side and looked at me. I saw his mouth drop open. Shock was in his eyes and if I'm not mistaken… there's a passion filled fire in those sapphire eyes too.  

 ' I ahm… ah I – I plan to sleep at the sopa ' he said somewhat dazed then quickly turn his back.

' But Aki, your sopa can't occupy your height, you have trouble sleeping there '

' Don't worry about me, I can handle it ' he said the about to leave when I asked:

' Are you afraid of me? '

He halted then slowly turn to face me.

' No '

' Then why are you running away and going to let me sleep in room alone? '

' Look Sapphire your smart you figure it out '

When I didn't say a thing he took a deep breath and continue:

' If a guy and a girl who is not actually related and is left alone in a room … a certain event might happen and they might forget themselves and – '

' And ended up into making wild-passionate sex. Is that what you're trying to say? '

' Yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to say '

' But you're not like that! You're a gentleman or am I just mistaking? '

' Yes I'm a gentleman but other people might think otherwise '

' I don't care what other people might think – all I want is that you let me sleep with you, just this night is that so hard to do? Or you're just giving me this nonsense explanation because I'm not as desirable as you think I am? '

' That's not the point, Sapphire '

' Then what exactly is your point ' I insist knowing full well what he's trying to say.

He let out a sigh before answering.

' What should I do to end this twisted conversation over us? '

' Come and sleep with me and I promise I won't bite ' I said a wide grin spreading my lips.

" At that point Aki could only do was to obey. I know that my stubbornness has something to do with it but somehow and hoping for that my delicious grin had an effect on him too "

I was starting to get irritated by the way Aki is acting. As if I have a contagious disease. Why it looks like he's going to sleep with me as far away from me as possibly he can on this huge bed of his.

' Aki will you stop acting like that '

' Huh? ' he asked confuse while turning to my side.

' That! ' eying him. ' I don't smell that bad and I don't have a chronic disease '

' What are you taking about '

' Oh, alright if you want to sleep down stairs go ahead i wont stop you ' I said disappointment was evident in my voice as I close my eyes and turn my back on him.

Maybe this is really not a good idea. I shouldn't have done this on the first place. I feel the bed move. He was really going down stairs. I inhaled deeply. Maybe this is for the best.

' Sapphire '

I quickly turn and coma face to face with him. He let out a sigh before saying:

' Please don't get mad. I was just trying to protect you '

' I know ' I said softly touching his left cheek.

' If something I wont forgive myself and – '

' I understand and I'm sorry for being so stubborn "

He then smiled took my hand on his cheek and kissed its back side softly.

' That's okay… now could we please sleep why its almost midnight '

I nodded then Aki pulled me close to him while my head resting on his chest.

" I know its so weird for you all – but every time I remember that night, I can't stop myself but to cry. We're so good together, so perfect yet who would know what will happen next? No one not even me could stop the event which would turn my heart into two pieces."
