Chapter 68

Why was I so unsure then ? You're going crazy Amanda . The thought of confessing your feelings to him is driving you insane.

"Where to , Mr Reynolds ", I interrogated as he leaded us to the terrace . All this time I was wondering that he was escorting me to the dance-floor . I was wrong and also confused.

Walking through the stairs towards the terrace which was situated at the first floor , he held me closer through my waist . My reflex pulled me away . "Sorry ", I apologized.

I felt embarrassed to make an eye-contact , I didn't remove the mask from my face . He didn't either. He yanked the door from his leg, his kick was forceful as the door fled open .

We walked separately , the terrace was quite airy . It wasn't occupied with a lot of things . There were 3 chairs and the 7 inch wall was decorated with lights . I couldn't control my blush . I only wanted to scream and shout and let it out .

"I want to say you something ", I tried to hide the strain from my face .

"Mmhmm ", he nodded with his pursed lips . It felt like he was more scared then I was . I saw reflections of two young men through the door . I was very sure that they were the bodyguards which were suppose to safeguard me .How can James come here ? I decided to lock the door of the terrace for a while so as to have a private moment .

After doing the same , I walked in his direction and broke the silence "Mr Reynolds ", I looked towards the floor. I didn't get any answer so i continued "I-I don-don't know how to say this . I've never fe-felt this short for words ", I stammered.

He gave a little squeeze to my shoulders with both of his hands . I took a deep breathe and gathered all my courage before uttering any word . There were 26 letters in English language but they all failed to help me phrase a sentence .

"I am attracted to you ", I exhaled "Okay , attraction sounds more or less like physical attraction but no ", I pushed the strand of my hair back behind my ear. "I like you . I like you so much . I didn't really liked you when I first met you but now, you are always on my mind ", I shrugged.

"I never knew if someone could dominate my mind and heart this badly . I don't regret it , I can never . I lo-love ", he didn't let me complete my sentence as he pulled me closed through my waist roughly .

His hands were dug in my back-hair and he slowly rested his lips on mine . What does this action of his depict ? Does he likes me too ? Is he into me ? Why didn't he say anything then ?

I kissed him back after curling my hands around his neck . He ruthlessly kissed me , he roughly bit my lower lip asking for entrance . I sealed my lips tightly because I didn't feel comfortable . I pulled away but he tugged me closer and kissed me sensuously again .

Giving him a push through his chest, I inhaled the fresh air . I yanked away the mask and threw it in the air . I expected him to do the same , he didn't . "So, you do love me Baby girl ?", the voice was familiar . It wasn't as deep and sexy as of Mr Reynolds.

He slowly took his mask off and pulled me closer . How can someone disguise his personality, wear the same suite and also have the same beard and hairstyle? . My legs trembled in trepidation as I somewhat knew who it was.

"James ", my lips shivered as I took steps backward . He broke the distance by walking closer .

"Always at your service baby girl ", he smirked . His eyes twinkled like he was enjoying this .

"Please leave me alone ", I cried.

"Not so soon , the cops are looking for me . You spoiled my life , I would've been at a happy place if you weren't a hurdle . You've to pay for it ", he paused "pay with your life ", he removed a revolver from his pocket and directed it towards my forehead.

The dream I had last night was turning into a reality . I am glad that Mr Reynolds wasn't around . James could kill him , I didn't want him to save me . I was going to die and I knew it , the only thing I'll regret was not speaking out my feelings to the man I love .
