C71 Chapter 70
"What are you going to do? Let's go out." He said again and then he finally pulled him out of the hall.
"Trigger! I don't even have a first dance yet!" I complained to him while we were leaving the hall, but he didn't seem to hear anything at all. Until we get to the garden of the hotel which is in my back part. My complaining disappeared immediately when I saw how beautiful the night light view of the city was.
I wasn't satisfied yet and I kept walking until I got close to the railings. The cold breeze immediately hit me, I closed my eyes but it wasn't enough to make me feel too cold.
"Nice." I said and then I pretended to touch the big light that was hanging from the bell tower of the city hall.
"Yeah. It's really beautiful." Trigger said that's why I looked at him and that's how I frowned when I noticed that he wasn't looking at the night lights - he was looking at me but I don't want to assume! It's just that my heart is like a mongoloid!
Our eyes just met, I just realized that he was staring at me, as if it was just because of the fast heartbeat. That's why I couldn't stop it and I punched my chest where my heart was. Maybe this time he will behave with the speed of his heartbeat.
"What are you doing Nicole?" Trigger asked me. I bit my lower lip and I don't know - but it's really my fault. I just don't know or... I really know that I just don't want to entertain this feeling. As if it's not right!
"A-because my heart is beating so fast." I answered him a little nervously.
"Hmm." He answered as he nodded. I thought that was it, but I will add him.
"Why do you think so?" And then he slowly walked closer to me. It's like my feet are glued to where I'm standing and it's like I'm really waiting for him to come near me. Urgh! What is happening to me? Paweird paweird huh?!
One after another, I swallowed Trigger's expensive men's perfume. I looked up at him and when our eyes met, I felt like any moment now I was like chocolate that would melt where I was standing because of the warmth of his gaze. Until I didn't take too long and just looked away.
Yes, that's right! It's better to look at the grass at my feet! Yes, it's actually better than suddenly kneeling here in front of Trigger because his presence makes my knees go soft, add the fact that he is very close to me now.
"Nicole." I bit my bottom lip when he mentioned my name in hard English. I held tightly to the railings and no matter how hard I tried, if I looked at him again, I couldn't do anything. I was counted! Awkward! I don't want I don't want to look at him. I can not do it.
I closed my eyes tightly and then I took a deep breath and he also opened his eyes after a while but that's what I'll regret immediately if I meet Trigger's emotionless eyes.
I was surprised and I felt lost, my soul had left my earthly body, my crazy heart had fallen at our feet. He bent down so that our faces were level, and our eyes met. I feel like I'm going to suffocate when he's so close to me, even though the heat of his body has spread all over my face, from my ears to my neck.
"T-Trigger stay away. You're so close to me, you're still cold?" I asked him, thinking that my excuse might slip, but my eyes just widened as he brought his face closer to me, I was about to back away to get away from him but it happened so fast that suddenly his hand was on my back and his grip was tight.
"T-Triger, what the hell -" But before I could continue what I was going to say, he preceded me.
"Am I making you uncomfortable Nicole?" Yes! Isn't it already obvious?! Can't you even feel it?! That's why I'm keeping you away from me, right?! Because I might kiss you myself! What? What the – that's not what you want to say. B-why would I want to kiss Trigger? So he's whispering!
"N-of course not! Why would I be uncomfortable s-with...you?" It seemed like the right time to ask him. He just grinned at me and in an instant my back was leaning against the railings while I was locked in his two hands like a lock attached to the railings.
"Trigger... stay away -" I couldn't finish what I was going to say when he suddenly cut me off. "I love you Nicole Angeline Alegre." I feel like not only my world stopped, but also the whole universe stopped spinning because Trigger said. It was like a bomb that exploded in me and the universe so we lost our function and even time stopped just because of what he said.
He held my chin for this time I had no escape from our eye to eye contact. I can no longer feel the fast beating of my heart, and if only that one hand that was behind me was holding the railings, I might have been sitting where I was standing. I'm softening like a jelly ace! A few moments passed but not a single word wanted to come out of my mouth. I also feel the dryness of my throat.
"Hey say something please. You're scaring the hell out of me." He said to me softly but I really couldn't say anything. My brain also stopped functioning.
"Nicole." I don't know why but all of a sudden my tears started flowing and the next thing that happened was that Trigger was holding me as he hugged me very tightly. He also stroked my hair repeatedly. It would have felt good, but I was confused.
We just held each other while Trigger held me until I felt my legs twitch. Because we were still standing, that's why I gathered all my strength just to tell him that I want to go home but Trigger's hug just tightened on me until I felt soft and firmly stuck to my mound, I closed my eyes tightly and my strength immediately ran away .
