Hellbound With You (WN)

Alexander ’s grip on the steering wheel tightened. A calculating look flashed across his cold, intimidating eyes before another chuckle filled with disbelief escaped his lips.

”What a gutsy little lamb… ” He said out loud, then sighed as he lifted his hand and ran his elegantly long fingers through his hair.

”One month, huh…? ” he leaned in on her and cupped her small face again. ”Abigail Chen, are you sure about this one month? Are you sure you don ’t want to start with small steps like a day or a week first? ” The crooked and playful smile, that he showed her many times the night they first met, was now carved on his face.

”I am very sure! ” Abigail didn ’t hesitate. Her emotions were not easily hidden on her innocent face so Alex couldn ’t even question her resolve, because he could see that she had already decided to do this. As he scanned her face, he saw a certain something that radiated from within her that rendered him speechless for a split second.

He averted his gaze to avoid her soulful, bright eyes and looked out the window when suddenly, his eyes slightly narrowed and it glimmered with something Abi couldn ’t comprehend.

She returned her gaze to him just to see that his eyes had returned to normal, as if what she noticed a moment ago was just in her imagination. This jellyfish was emitting some new mysterious illuminations again…

Like a child who finally caught her escaped balloon again, Abi beamed and her eyes shone joyfully.

Alexander looked away; there were some lingering regrets in his eyes but he blinked them away. He had said it; given his word to her and that was that. He jumped out of the water and she caught him, or at least, he let himself be caught by her.

”Don ’t come crying to me afterwards… ” he murmured as if he was more than certain that this girl would.
