C9 Bab 9

It's midnight but I still can't sleep, I still can't get out of my mind what Saint said to Audrey earlier. I'm in my pajamas and I'm ready to sleep but I'm not really sleepy. So I went down to the kitchen to drink some milk, I thought Ate Mary was the one I could reach but I was very surprised to see the person I don't want to see now. St.

I saw her look up at me and I immediately backed away. He can't go near me, I won't allow him to come near me. I'm not important to him, right? So maybe I can distance myself a little from him.

I turned around and was about to take a step when I suddenly felt an arm wrap around me from behind me. Saint is hugging me from the back! And it's making my heart beat wild.

"Let me explain, I know you heard what I said earlier. I'm sorry, for hurting you again." My hair immediately stood up on my whole body when I heard Saint's calm voice.

I didn't answer and tried to pull away from hugging me, but Saint was just too strong and he didn't even get out of his place even a little bit.

"I'm sorry, Klea. Don't get mad at me, please?" I just held his hand on my waist and sighed.

"How are you, Audrey?" I will ask. He loosened his grip on me and I was surprised when he suddenly pulled me to sit on one of the chairs at the kitchen counter.

He is holding my wrist while looking directly at my eyes. "Audrey is just a job, okay? I needed to fling with her because she is the daughter of one of the mafia bosses who want to hire you. And I'm planning to make her get attached to me before proceeding to the plan of killing her father and then her."

I was surprised by what Saint said, it's another way to protect me? And what does Audrey's Father need from me?

"What do they need from me?" I asked him, and he sighed. And his face went blank again.

"They want you to be the heiress, and you know your Daddy is rich and he has a large share in the underworld. They want you to be the heiress and then kill you afterward so you can get your Daddy's inheritance. You know how the underworld works, Clea." Right. That's why Dad's inheritance went to me because everyone thought I was the one who killed him.

And maybe if Mommy only knew that whoever killed one of the mafia bosses would get all his wealth, maybe she wouldn't have left me.

I just nodded at Saint. "Are you still mad at me?" He asked and I immediately shook my head.

"I'm sorry, Klea. I'm just protecting you." He said and I was surprised when he suddenly came to me and hugged me once again.

And then here's my heartbeat going wild again, oh my god. Why do I feel this? I shouldn't feel this way towards Saint, I'm just like his brother.

"Am I a burden to you Saint?" I asked him while he was still hugging me.

"No." He responded.

"Am I not important in your life?" I asked.

"No, you mean the world to me, Clea." He answered.

"Do I have no role in your life?" I asked again.

"No, you are a big part of our life especially mine." He answered again. I just smiled at Saint's answer.

He loosened his grip on me and looked straight into my eyes. "And now, I'm going to ask you a question. Answer it properly."

I nodded. "Do you like Psalms?"

My throat suddenly went dry because of Saint's question. I blinked and couldn't believe what he said.

"Well, your reactions say it well.." he paused. "But I have something that might change your mind about liking him."

"What is it?" I asked confused. I'm nervous, he might kill Psalm. Well maybe not.

"This." And in a swift move, I suddenly felt a strange feeling in my heart when Saint applied his lips to my lips.

He held the back of my head to press the kiss harder. I am hypnotized by his kiss, so I closed my eyes and held his shoulder tightly.

He broke the kiss and looked at me. He planted one more quick kiss on me and smiled. HE SMILED AT ME. RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. Saint smiled, which he never did.

"Good night." He said and walked away.

My heart. Oh no. Why are you switching your feelings so quickly?

When Monday came, I couldn't get out of my mind what Saint had done. He kissed me! That was my first! Besides, I don't understand, my heartbeat is so loud at that time. I don't understand, I thought I like Psalm. But...why did my heart beat so fast when Saint did that?

I closed my eyes tightly, I didn't have the strength to go to school anymore. Besides, I'm too shy to face Saint! I looked at the door, I'm sure there will be a knock later so maybe I'll go to school first?

But I don't have a car! We also don't have a driver because Saint doesn't want us because we are only at home a little. Oh, so I'll eat first and get into his car immediately, then I'll sleep the whole way to school. Right. Nice plan, Sat.

As soon as I opened the door, my eyes widened so I immediately closed it again.

"Oh, c'mon Klea don't be rude to me. Open the door." Saint had a smile on his lips as he said those words. I know this would happen, I know Saint will annoy me.

"No! Saint, I don't want to see your face!" I shouted, I heard his laughter from outside so my eyes immediately widened. He just laughed?! He is getting weirder!

I immediately opened the door and looked at him. "Laugh again, I want to see you laugh." I immediately said.

"Nope, baby. You can't force a laugh." He smirked and said, b-baby?! Oh my god, he's crazy!

"Don't call me like that!" I said to him annoyed, he raised his eyebrows at what I said.

"Why baby? Is your heart getting weird?" Yes, Saint. Yes! You're making my heart- and please stop!

"And why would that happen?" I asked him while still smiling, he laughed again. Which made me stunned. He laughed handsomely, he also smiled handsomely. Everyone is more handsome than him.

"Because let's just say you're about to like me?" He said with a smile. I rolled my eyes at him.

"What are you? Lucky? You just kissed me and I want to see you right away? In your dreams, Saint." He stopped a little, I thought he was hurt by what I said but I'm wrong. I saw his wide smile.
