Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 5: An Extravagant Date

I could hear the faint whispers around us as Ash held my wrist and pulled me somewhere, leading me through an empty hallway. If they weren't looking at him, their eyes were fixed on Ash's hand holding mine.

"Hurry up," he ordered authoritatively without looking at me. He continued walking, his strides so large that I had to walk quickly to keep up. "You only have a one-hour break, right? You also need to review for your next quiz." I stopped abruptly at his words, but since he was pulling me, I ended up stumbling into his back.

"Damn," he cursed quietly when he felt me bump into him. "Are you okay? Does it hurt?" Ash asked this time, his eyes staring at me intently.

His jaw was clenched as he examined my face. He held my cheeks gently, moving them slightly as if checking for any injuries from our collision. "How did you know those things?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

I was sure it wasn't written on my ID, though.

"My friend's sister is your classmate," he explained. "Now, answer me. Are you hurt?" he asked again, his eyes returning to my forehead to check it.

"I'm fine," I answered convincingly as I stared back at him, but I wanted to look away immediately when our eyes met.

He was communicating with me through his eyes as if there was something he wanted to say but couldn't. I gulped, hard.

"Stop making people uncomfortable like this. I don't like it," I said in a straightforward manner as I moved his hands away, hoping that it could bring some distance between us... Just like last night.

"Do I have that effect on you?" He raised his right eyebrow, and his voice suddenly deepened. "Do I make you feel those butterflies in your stomach, Sapphire?"

Wait... Was he really to seduce me, or was I just imagining it?

had a point. With a gorgeous face like his, it was impossible for people to look away when his presence demanded attention. When he started climbing the stairs, he suddenly slowed down, as if afraid I would bump into his back again, like earlier. He kept glancing at me as if monitoring my every move.
