The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective
Chapter 75 - 75: Provoking Him
The family dinner went smoothly. Sarah and Raymond didn't suspect them. After that intimate hug, the tension and awkwardness between Elle and Erick lessened.
Now they were now alone in his room. Erick took his courage to approach her and talk with her.
"Elle you don't need to act against your will just to obey my parent's request." Erick softly said to her.
He was referring to the call she did last time and even though he was not sure of her motive about hugging him a while ago he was sure that his parents especially his mother was involved in that.
But deep in side he was really glad and happy about her gesture a while ago. Seemed that all his worries disappeared after that hug and he felt so good.
Elle rolled her eyes after hearing that "Who told me not to disappoint his parents before?" Elle said to him while raising her brows.
Erick:"...."
Erick was speechless. He glanced at Elle with an amused look.
He had the urge to laugh. Elle just used his words before against him. Erick was not able to contain his laughter.
Elle frown and shot him a sharp glare. 'Now he had the guts to laugh?'
However she admitted to herself that Erick's laughter helped lessen the tension between them. Elle was now more comfortable to talk to him after their argument last night.
Noticing her glare, Erick stopped laughing and tried his best to be serious right now. He coughed to lessen his awkwardness.
"Ahem, sorry about that." He smiled at her apologetically.
"Elle I just want to say sorry about last night. Please don't get mad at me anymore." He pleaded. Elle just stayed silent.
"I didn't expect that something like that would happen. I am sorry for involving you with this but promise I will fix it." Erick assured her.
"Tsk Tsk... you are really stupid." She couldn't help herself but mumbled.
Erick:"....."
Erick was speechless as he heard her. 'Did she just really call me stupid? She is hurting my ego.'
Elle noticed his strange look. 'Uh oh! Did I say it out loud?' Elle looked away and pretended that she didn't said anything.
"Are you still mad at me? Can't you forgive me?" Elle ignored him and stayed silent.
"Are you jealous?" He asked her again.
Elle's eyes widened upon hearing his last sentence.
"Of course not! Are you insane? Do you want me to kill you?" She shouted at him as she quickly reacted and denied his accusation. She turned only to see him grinning at her. She was confused.
Erick let out a chuckle after that. "I am just kidding. You are ignoring me so I said that. I knew it! You would react after hearing it. See... you just talk to me."
Elle kicked his legs.
He grunted from pain. He thought 'She could really kick so hard.' Then he remembered the hostage taker who suffered from Elle's strong kick. He chuckled again.
"Love stop assaulting me, I will tell mom about it." He teased her.
Elle was now really annoyed with this shameless guy in front of her.
"Are you really apologizing to me or you just want to annoy me?" Elle glared at him.
"Alright! I will behave now. Are you still mad at me? Hmm if you still mad at me then I will assume that you are really jealous." Erick smirked at her.
"In your dreams! I am not mad at you! Are you happy now?"
"Really?...why do I feel that you are lying? Hmm"
"Ok. You want the truth? I am mad at you not because I am jealous. I am mad at your stupidity! How can you not notice someone that she likes you for a very long time. Tsk tsk... you are also stupid rejecting those girls.... Chlarice, a famous actress, Ara the queen of media, Agent Sophia, the sweetheart of Task Force Wolf, Katherine, the Lady C.E.O of Arian Group of Companies."
Erick was dumbstruck upon hearing it. 'Did she really need to mention those girls again? Did girls really had a great memory?'
Even him, he can't remember those girls' name anymore if not for April mentioning it again.
"Are you a gay?" This time Elle was teasing him. She was now laughing at him.
Erick expression changed after hearing the last sentence from Elle. She was getting even at him from teasing her a while ago and she was really successful about it. She just called him stupid and now she called him a gay.
Erick stared at her intently. "Ahmm, Did you just ask me if I am a gay?" Elle nodded as she continued to challenge him.
Instead of getting mad, Erick just smirked at her. Elle raised her brows upon seeing his smile.
"Elle, do you want me to prove to you right here and right now if I am really a gay or not? Are you really that curious?" Erick warned her with a playful grin appeared on his face. He started to walk towards Elle direction.
Elle stopped laughing. She was now staring at the man who was now approaching her.
'Hey...what he will gonna do? Is he mad? Is he going to hurt me?'
Elle stepped back as she sensed some danger. Every time Erick stepped forward, Elle just moved backward until her back touched the wall.
'What is he doing?' Elle was wondering. She started to feel uneasy with the intense gaze he was giving her right now.
Elle couldn't move backward since her back already touching the cold wall. Erick was now standing close to her. Elle could smell his masculine scent mixed with his cologne which was pleasant to her nose. It was now affecting her brain to think right.
She felt the temperature inside the room suddenly increased some degrees and became hot. Erick trapped her by putting both his hands on her both sides.
Elle clenched her fists, ready to strike back if ever Erick would do something. Erick spoke again.
"Elle do you really want to find out if I am a gay or not?" he whispered to her in a husky seductive voice. His eyes never left hers.
Elle's heart skipped a beat after hearing those words from him. She felt goosebumps in her entire body.
'F*ck, I regretted saying those words to him. I really provoked him this time.'
She bite her lower lip because she was a little bit nervous from this closeness. She often do that every time she felt uncomfortable in his presence. It didn't escape from Erick's observant eyes. He smiled triumphantly.
Erick leaned closer to Elle. Their faces were now just an inch away from each other. Elle's heart was pounding like crazy in her c.h.e.s.t. And it seemed like there were butterflies in her stomach right now.
She wanted to get away from him but she froze on her spot. She forgot her plan to fight back. As Erick's face was getting closer and closer to hers, she just involuntarily closed her eyes.
Then after a while Elle felt something soft and warm touched her. Erick kissed her. He kissed her on her forehead. When she felt that, she automatically opened her eyes.
Then she saw Erick grinning at her, rejoicing inside. Her mind went blank seeing his handsome face. He was really more attractive up close. He could really melt anyone's heart with his smile.
"Am I already forgiven Elle?" Erick asked her softly like he didn't do something to her a while ago.
Elle just nodded at him feeling lost. She hadn't recover yet from what Erick just did to her a while ago. He was able to snatch her a kiss again. He was always doing things like this every time he wanted to get revenge at her.
Erick felt happy and satisfied right now. It's okay if Elle called him a gay. He knew that she was just trying to annoy him. The important thing was Elle was not mad at him anymore and had forgiven him already.
"Okay. I will take a shower first." Erick left her after saying that.
Elle stared at his retreating back and made a mental note to her mind 'Don't ever mention to him about 'gay' thing ever again. He will really give you a heart attack.' then Elle put her right hand on her c.h.e.s.t, slowly tapping it, trying to calm her racing heart.
Meanwhile Erick just entered the bathroom. He was also trying to calm himself down.
"Whoah, Elle is right. I am stupid. I am stupid for doing that dangerous thing a while ago. I almost lost control back there." he sighed deeply.
He was planning to give her a lesson for doubting his manhood and masculinity but it backfired at him. He wanted to kiss her but if he did, he doubted if he could still stop himself from doing something that he might regret in the end.
He shook his head trying to push the thought out of his mind and started to turn on the shower. He thought that this cold shower might helped him a little.
