“It’s fine, I wasn’t waiting too long.” I assure her, seeing how she glances at me, “I’m guessing you are Shiloh then. You make quite an entrance.”
She flips her hair over her shoulder, rolling her eyes, “Yeah, I am, unfortunately. I don’t really want to be here so can we hurry up and get this over with so I can leave? Thank you.”
She motions the waiter over and orders a glass of wine and food. I know she is trying to put me off, but it is just making me want her even more. I don’t know if she can tell that it is making me feel more towards her because I really like a challenge. I don’t know why she doesn’t want this engagement because it would benefit her.
“I understand you don’t want this engagement.” I murmur, seeing how she glances up at me, “I hate to break it to you, but I don’t really want to be engaged either, but I don’t think I’m disappointed too much in what I’m seeing.”
Her eyes flash as she turns to look at me, “So you only want me because I have a nice body? How nice.”
I realize then how that sounded, and I shake my head, “Sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. I just meant that I could see that you are interested in me as well even if you want to deny it. The attraction is there.”
She just scoffs, “Yeah right, I’m not interested at all. You’re not my type.”
I couldn’t believe what she was saying, staring at her like she was crazy. I couldn’t be sure what her problem was, but I could tell that she was doing everything in her power to make me not like her and to break off the engagement. I might have been tempted to do that, but I’m already interested and there’s no way that I’m going to hold back at all. I couldn’t be sure about it as well, making me wonder what was going to happen if I decided what I was going to do from it.
It makes me wonder what is going to happen through here, tempted to see what I’m going to do about it. I know that I should probably push her away, making me wonder what might end up happening through this. I couldn’t be certain about it, making me wonder what might end up happening from this. I guess there’s only one way to figure it out, trying to decide what to do about it.
I let out a small sigh and I just grinned at her, seeing how she looked at me with confusion.
Let the games begin.
Chapter Three
Shiloh
I wasn’t sure what I was expecting when I met Lark, but he was a lot different. He is really tall with short, curly red hair and piercing green eyes with normal tan skin. I would have thought him to be human if it wasn’t for the large wings that protrude from his back. It made me wonder why a guy like him couldn’t find a mate because he is actually really handsome, and I couldn’t decide what to make about him.
I thought that my actions the other day would have made him call it off but much to my disappointment, he has been showing up a lot more often and has been driving me nuts. I know this made Mom and dad happy because they think that he is not going to change his mind. I’d like to make sure there would be no way that it would happen this way, but it was irritating me a little bit as I stared at him like he had just grown a second head. I didn’t like how this had turned out and it made me fold my arms across my chest. I kind of thought that maybe he would have realized that we were not good for one another, but I should have known that he wasn’t going to make it easy on me.
Clearing my throat, I stare at him once again because he has decided to show up at my place again and it’s making my stomach churn. I don’t know what he is thinking but he seems pretty pleased with himself, making me purse my lips because I couldn’t be certain at all what he was going to do about this. I don’t know what I want at all, trying to decide what I’m going to do about this. I know that the best thing that I can do is deter him from wanting even more…
At least I hope so.
“So, what do I owe this visit?” I ask him, seeing how mom is watching us from the kitchen since she had called me over and then he showed up, “I wasn’t expecting to see you for a while.”
“I don’t know, I just wanted to see you and find out when you wanted to meet again since you haven’t been answering my text messages.” He murmurs, loud enough to make Mom give me an ugly look, “Have you been busy, I’m assuming?”
I hate that he is calling me out because there’s no way that I’m going to be able to tell the truth, “Yeah, I have been busy. Sorry.”
“It’s okay, I get busy too, but I just wanted to make sure that everything is alright.” He murmurs, of course, playing the innocent card that would make anyone fall for him, “I mean, I have been eager to see you again since I already feel a connection towards you… I hope that you feel the same way.”
I couldn’t be certain about it because I couldn’t be entirely sure about what he was trying to do. I’m feeling a bit nervous because he does make me feel weird, my stomach churning with nerves because I can’t be entirely certain about what I’m going to do about this. I can see how he is looking at me, making me think that he is actually interested in me. I guess we will find out.
“Well, now you have seen me.” I murmur coldly, turning away from him, “I don’t know why you’re so interested in me. I mean, I’m not that perfect, don’t you think?”
“I know but I’d like for you to try to make an effort in this.” He murmurs, staring at me, “because I promise you if you try and actually don’t fall in love with me, I will break it off with you. I promise.”
He said this low enough that Mom wouldn’t hear, and I just stared at him with surprise. I didn’t realize I had made it so obvious, wondering what to do about it. I thought that he would have been a lot more rude to me, making me wonder what is going to happen between us. I thought that he would be more adamant to make sure that there’s only one way to figure out what we’re going to do about it.
“Okay, I can do that.” I promise him, trying to decide what to do about this, “but I hope that you will keep that promise because I’m not interested in falling in love with anyone. I hope you realize that.”
His eyes glimmer with mischief as his lips twitch, “don’t worry, I think that you will be changing your mind about that, and you will be begging me to accept you.”
I don’t know why he is challenging me like that, and it makes me bristle a little bit because there is no way in hell that I’m going to accept him like that. I don’t know why he would even think that way and it drove me a bit crazy because I couldn’t believe that he would even think that way. I think that he just assumes because he is a Prince that I’m going to bow down to him or something, but it is going to be far from it. I end up glaring at him because I hate when people act like that because there is no way in hell that I’m going to allow myself to be brought down that road.
“You have yourself a deal, but I don’t think it is going to happen that way.” I murmur, trying to ignore him the best that I can, “I don’t know why you think your hot shit, but I can assure you that it isn’t the case. I’m not interested in someone just because he’s handsome or because of his title. You’re really going to have to win me over if you think that to be the case.”
His eyes flash and I’m not entirely certain what is going through his head right now. I couldn’t be certain about what he is going to do about this, but I do know that there is no way in hell that I’m going to allow it to go down this road because I’m not keen on losing to him at all. Not him. I know that this isn’t going to be easy, but I do know there is no way that I’m going to allow him to screw me this way.
