Chapter 63

Amaris' POV

I said with my eyes closed. I didn't give a damn about how Jessica felt, last time I checked she didn't care about other people's feelings too so there was no need for me to sugarcoat my words when I talked to her. She finally got the message and stormed off. Stupid brat.

~~~~~~~~~

"And he was like he wasn't going to say anything." I rolled over still clutching my phone in my hand as I spoke. I had half expected Kian to return and ask about the progress we've made just like he said earlier but he never showed up. Well...there was always tomorrow.

"Oh my God. So you mean he actually heard every word I said?" Mia's eyes widened. She had seen my text earlier and sneaked out of the house late at night just so we could talk. Knowing Mia she'd do anything to hear a spicy story.

"Uh yeah. I'm even surprised he didn't actually say anything about it. I mean he was standing right there." I placed my phone on the bed as I rested my head on a pillow. "Now thanks to you I don't think I'll be able to talk to him or even see him without recalling that one moment."

"Sorry." She winced. "My bad....but look on the bright side we know he's interested for sure now." A smirk crept up her lips.

"Huh?" I scrunched my brows. "Are we still talking about this?"

"Obviously."

"What makes you think he's interested in me this time." I said with a dull expression.

"He didn't say anything about it." I stared at her for a while before palming my forehead.

"Are you freaking kidding me? Just because he...." I was interrupting by the faint chiming sound I heard from downstairs. The doorbell? I thought I had imagined it until it rang out again. It was almost 9pm, who on earth could be at the door by this time...

"What's wrong?" Mia asked, jolting me out of my thoughts.

"Oh it's just the doorbell." I said getting up from the bed. "No worries I'll get it." I waved off her question.

"It's not like you have a choice." She said as the doorbell rang out again. When I finally got to the door I looked through the peephole to see who it was but I couldn't see anyone. I moved to the closest window to see if I could see anyone at the door. I shifted the curtains aside, pressing my body against the wall but still no one was at the door. The doorbell rang out again and my lips twisted into a frown as I dropped my phone on the closest table.

"Who is it?" Mia asked after being quiet for so long.

"I don't know." I said grabbing the closest thing I could find. A bat.

"And you want to open it?" Her eyebrows shot up.

"Chill, I'll be okay." I picked up the bat. I didn't know what it was doing in our living room but I was glad it was there.

"Oh..." She let out a small laugh. "I bought that some weeks ago just in case there were any ribbers around who needed a good beating."

"Right." I smiled as I moved closer to the door with the bathroom in my hand. *Another ring.* With a flick of my wrist, I twisted the key, grabbing the handle as I pulled the door open and the bat fell from my hand as I saw who stood at the other side of the door. Oh my God.

Kian's POV

"I understand mother..." I heaved a sigh as I held the phone to my ear. This was the third time she had called me today, the first time when I was on my way here and then the second was when I excused myself while I was talking with Amaris.

I mean Kian's hot and so freaking sexy. I think he'll make a good boyfriend plus judging by his looks he'll probably be good in bed so girl....you definitely can't miss out on this...at least for the sex.

I found it hard to concentrate on mum's words as I replayed the whole scene in my head. I had lied to her, I didn't hear everything....I just walked in at the last part but I could definitely guess what had been going on from what I heard. I knew Amaris found me attractive...I mean I did catch her staring and checking me out countless times even if she always denied it.

"...and also when are you going to bring that girl to dinner?" Mother had been nagging me for days now. Ever since she found out that Amaris and I were actually friends she kept bugging me and asking me to bring her to dinner. It's not that I didn't like Amaris...or not that I didn't find her attractive. Believe me when I say I was absolutely smitten with her. Her warm hazel eyes, her chestnut brown hair, her infectious laughter....all of it was spellbinding. I couldn't even get enough of her but I didn't want to rush things. When I told her that she smelt nice today she acted like I had just committed an unforgivable sin.

"Working on it mum." I let out a small sigh. "She's not going to agree to come to dinner if I just randomly ask her." Initially mother wanted Caleb to bring Amaris to dinner. Since she worked for him she'd assumed that would be a lot easier but when she saw how much they hated each other....she turned to me which was kind of disappointing since she saw me as a second option but I was cool with it. At least I wasn't second to Caleb when it came to our relationship with Amaris.

"That's nonsense." I could practically see her waving off my comment. "Amaris' a nice girl....of course she'd say yes if you ask her out."
