Chapter 41 - Why didn't it irritate me

Diana felt the adrenaline inside her rush just by hearing him call her name, 'what's going on? When did hearing my name got called bring such effect?' She asked herself and subconsciously reach her hand to her chest again.

Ethan was about to call her name again, to confirm if he's seeing things or it's really her, when he saw her acting weird. He stares at her and saw her eyes getting teary as she held her hand to her heart.

His brow creased slightly as he reaches a hand to her face, he had no idea what he's doing but found himself rubbing his thumb on the blemishes on her face, which had started turning red; due to her current emotions.

Despite the roughness of her skin on his palm, 'why didn't it irritate me?' He only reach for her to confirm if it's real that she's here, but right now, 'why is his heart racing so hard at her teary eyes? Why is he seeing her instead of her ugly face?'

He has a lot to think about right now, but he had no idea why she's the only thought that occupied his mind.

Diana slowly looked up at him and shook off his hand from her face, "what did you do to me? Why am I feeling like this? What are you?" Her sudden crazy feeling infuriated her. She just consoled herself a while ago that she had something else to worry about, and was about to get rid of it, but then he called her name and her heart is going crazy like this.

"What the hell is this?" She cried out loud.

Ethan grunt and sat up on the bed; matching her level and reached his hand to her shoulder, as Diana chest heave up and down, her face flushed from the emotional burst, adding to her ugliness.

Despite this, Ethan finds himself raising a hand to her face again, while the other remain on her shoulder, "how are you feeling? What did I do to you? Tell me." He said calmly.

"It's crazy, it's totally crazy." Diana said, trying to shake off his hand again, but Ethan moved it down to her neck line and keep still, "I wanna know Diana, please tell me." Ethan urged, looking into her eyes.

She didn't want to feel this way, she wondered what was wrong with her head, this devilish beauty, this man that still remain so breathtaking despite his bruised face, compared to her who look more ugly even when she's happy, she couldn't get too excited, because of the fear of getting her face flushed; which in turn makes her blemishes deep red blood clotted-like.

What is her heart thinking by this ridiculousness?. Diana felt unsettled, she wanted to run away and hide from him, she felt like a complete idiot.

Ethan voice broke her from her thoughts again, "I'm waiting, Diana." He said.

"There is nothing to tell, except that my crappy heart is making a fool of itself, I didn't ask it to do this, I didn't want this." Diana blurted.

"What did it do?" Ethan asked calmly, but his inside is kind of feeling excited, he wanted her to say more and further confirm this feeling he's feeling right now, why is his heart beating so much, It wasn't like this before he left.

Diana couldn't hold it any longer and look at him directly in his eyes, raising her left hand; she wiped her tears and took a deep breath. "You wanna know?" She asked, not caring if he will make fun of her, she's used to getting mocked anyway, so why not just say it.

"I want to know." Ethan replied, and felt his heart nearly went into a mini attack by her reply, "I think my heart is foolishly beating for you okay? Do you see how ridiculous that sounds? I never planned to let a man into my heart and now, out of nowhere, I'm suddenly feeling like this, do you understand why I said it's crazy now?" Diana asked, and without waiting for a reply from the dazed Ethan, she shook off his hand and stood up to run away.

"Diana wait!" Ethan called and tried to stand up and go after her but felt a sharp pain in his abdominal area, "ha!" he exclaimed and jolted back on the bed.

"Are you okay?" Diana, who had rushed back immediately she heard his sudden cry asked and look at him holding his tummy.

Ethan couldn't recall the number of kicks, his stomach received from his abductors, but it's worth it, as he finally met his brother.

Within a blink of an eye, Diana was flip over on the bed, Ethan towering above her, not too close to make her uncomfortable and too far enough to leave a chance of escaping.

Diana look into the eyes of the man who just winced in pain a few moments ago, looking completely the opposite and opened her mouth, "What are you doing?" she asked.

Her fresh breath assaulted Ethan's nose, he looks down on her lips, she's not trying to hide anything; which made her pushed out incisor, coupled with its dull brown hue flashing in front of him.

But despite that, why didn't he feel irritated? Why did he plan on doing something opposite? Why is he feeling like having a taste of her rosy red lips instead?

A lot of questions are popping up in his brain, "what if i told you i felt the same?" He spoke.

"What!" Diana exclaimed, not believing her ears.

"What if I told you that you're not the only one who's battling with your feeling right now? What if I told you I fell for you?" Ethan said, and watch Diana eyes widened like she just heard the most ridiculous news in her entire life.

"Don't look down on yourself Diana, beauty is not all about one's appearance, it's more of what's inside and I'm cool with your kind of person." Ethan spoke again and saw Diana already tearing up. "Forgive me, but I can't help doing this," he said and close in on her lips, hoovering on it like a hungry beast.

Diana whole being trembled, as she finds herself kissing him back, his tongue slipped inside her mouth, making her subconsciously let out a soft moan, as she finds herself lost in the action, her head fuzzy as her whole body tensed.

"You two aren't planning on f*cking each other on my bed, or are you?" Nathan question brought them back to their senses, as his footsteps closed in on them.
