Jericho
smirked as he watched Lilian walk away. "She wants me"
Grabbing
his stuff he entered the elevator and rode up to his room. When
he
exited
the room he spotted Lilian still in the door way. "Plan on
staying
there?"
Lilian
turned at the sound of his voice, "There is no way I'm staying
in
there
with you!"
"Oh
come on, it can't be that bad."
She
moved aside, "Look for yourself."
He
brushed past her and entered the room before walking right back out,
"Okay
maybe
it can be."
"Are
you sure this is the only room they had left?"
He
nodded and she groaned, entering the room. She placed her stuff on
the
floor
and looked around the room. There was a small table with unlit
candles, a
small
stereo, television and finally the bed, which was shaped as a
heart.
Jericho
laughed softly, "Think there's a hot tub in the bathroom?"
She
glared at him, "Can't you ever be serious?"
He
put his hands up as if surrendering, "I am being serious.
Anyway, what's
with
you today? You're more bitchy than normal."
"Why
thank you Chris, I'm glad you took notice." Ignoring his
question she
grabbed
her bag and started to unpack. He moved to her side and took her
hands
in
his.
"Honestly
Lil, what's wrong?"
"What
do you care? You hate me, shouldn't my anger make you happy?"
she
pulled
her arms free and continued to unpack.
"I
don't hate you."
She
laughed, "Could have fooled me!"
"Would
you stop for a minute and listen to me?"
"Why?"
"Because
I don't want you believing something that's not true. And I want
to
know
why you feel that way in the first place."
She
put down her clothes and sat on the bed, "Make it fast, I'm
tired."
"Sure
thing Princess." He sat down next to her, "Why do you think
I hate
you?"
She
turned her head from him, "I heard you talking to Paul the other
day
about
how annoying I was and how you couldn't stand me."
He
ran a hand through his hair, "You weren't supposed to hear
that."
"Ya
think? If that's really how you felt why couldn't you just tell
me?"
"I..
Uh I didn't mean what I said really."
"Then
why did you say it?" She turned her face to him and his heart
broke as
he
saw her tears.
"Lil,"
he brought his hand to her face but she slapped it away, "Don't
touch
me."
She
went to stand but her grabbed her arm. "Sit down damnit, let me
explain!"
She
looked at him, anger replacing her sadness. "Who the hell do you
think
you
are?"
"I
didn't mean to yell you're just..."
"Just
what? Annoying you? I seem to do that a lot don't I" she stood
up and
walked
towards the bathroom, stopping before she entered. "I can't
believe I
ever
felt something for you" With that said she entered the room,
slamming the
door
behind her.
Jericho
threw himself backwards on the bed, "Why can't I just tell her
how I
really
feel?"
