"Hey...you still up, Kora?" I heard the whisper of his beautiful, deep, manly voice in a hushed whisper. I turned over, to turn in the direction of his sinfully lovely voice. And my, oh my...he looked better tonight than ever. His blue eyes seemed to pale a ghostly sheen in the moonlight. His dark, wavy hair shined and framed his face. Thick eyebrows led to a perfect nose, which was flawlessly straight and ended with a soft, curvy tip; wonderfully aquiline. His chin was slightly cleft, his jawline lightly dusted with dark stubble. "Yes, I am awake. What's wrong? Want to talk about something?" He moved closer to the bed, a look of relief washing over his face. My eyes shamefully moved down his body. He was muscular. Muscles rippled and …show more content…
"When you're in your manic phase, there is no stopping you. I love to see you when you're that happy. You simply don't look hard enough for that particular woman." "Thanks for that bit about the mania, because not sleeping for almost four days straight, having jumbling thoughts and being unable to stop talking or purchasing things is what many people desire." I roll my eyes at him. "Anyway, there is a woman that I am obsessed with. How do I make her love me?" "You shouldn't have to do anything, Zander," I say. "You have a personality that many are attracted to. Naturally." "Are you attracted to me?" The question shocked me. My heart beat fast as I looked into his eyes. "Many women are, Zander." "I don't care about what other women like right now. Do you find me attractive? Tell me the truth." "Yes," I meant for the word to come out strong, but it came out in a whisper. "Of course I do." He smiled, then laid back, pulling me to his chest. "I don't know why I asked, just a spur of the moment kind of question, I suppose. Forget I ever said anything." If you did not know, why were you holding your breath, Zander? I really wanted to ask, but I didn't want him to be offended in some way. I didn't reply, just closed my eyes. Before we both knew it, we fell asleep. I woke up to him laying in front of me, staring at me. My eyes widened in horror. "Is there a reason why you are staring at me like that?" I ask, squinting my eyes at the assault the rays of Sun gave
The man smiled at me. “Fine, then. We won’t change your image; we’ll just enhance it. I need to polish you up a bit, but your aversion to all things fake might just be your greatest asset here. Hold on to that, honey.” He patted me on the back and walked away, sending a group of women swarming my way.”
“Away, I’ve always obeyed so I would never find out.” She snickered and looked towards me, her eyes piercing my very being. “You look like you’d make a fine specimen, shall I take a closer look at
“You sound more interested in him than me Ari,” she suggested, sounding disgusted of the thought of it. “Don’t tell me you’re attracted to him. If you are, go seek medical attention right now.”
“That doesn’t matter, what matters is that you have a set of skills that may prove useful to us.”
“It didn’t seem right to wake you when you’d barely slept,” he answered with a wicked grin.
“Okay, it might be the whiskey talking, but I have a major crush on you,” Gwaine said. “I know you’re straight and all.”
“Y/N?” He flutters his eyes open adjusting to the light, glancing around the room then to you.
“You didn’t have to,” Loren answered, closing his eyes and allowing the sun to warm his skin.
Claudia’s gaze chilled. “And why, may I ask, do you feel obligated to do that?”
“How could you even say that?! Are you implying that I don’t care about you or love you?! You KNOW damn well that isn’t true, I can’t even believe you’re saying this,” he snapped back.
“Do you think it’ll ruin my chance with the ladies?” he asked with a teasing smirk.
"No, you promised me today. Admittedly, tell me. What knows you'll find your love here," she stumbled out the last words, with tease she always liked to do.
She blushes and looks down. “So, I have to ask you something…” she begins and I nod. “Do I know you from somewhere? You look familiar… ” She asks, avoiding my gaze.
She sent me a deathly glare. “Who cares? There's a load of gross guys staring at us right now.”
"Shit. If i knew you were gonna go all supportive lover's monologue on me I would've had a breakdown like, forever ago." She smiled slow, still feeling like he didn't get the whole picture of loving her. Like somehow if she could just draw him a diagram, all the facts, he'd get it and he'd understand and then he'd be gone, because who wouldn't be gone?
