Chapter 22: Lost in the Woods
After reading his useless message, I put my phone back in my pocket. It won't do me good if I will put in mind and heart what he's just told me.
I focused my attention on Sir gray again who's busy with the blueprints, but before I turned my back on him, I make sure that I have him an annoying look. He deserves it, even more than that. Even though I turned my back on him now, I can still feel his sharp gazes on my back. I only sighed and pushed myself to never think about it.
If only he knows how painful it is for me last night. He made me feel like I'm a time pass, like he will only want me if he's bored or something like that.
What does he think about me? A toy to play with? Oh please, I'm so tired of it already.
We were in the middle of planning when there's a loud thunder. Well, the weather is not good since morning, and I think it will rain so hard.
I helped Sir Grayson to arrange the papers so if the rain comes, it won't get wet.
And few seconds later, it rained heavily.
Both me and Sir Gray run fast to our villas but because of the heavy rain, we got so wet. We are still in the middle of the field when someone grabbed me and carried me like a sack of rice on his shoulders.
I was so shocked from what he fucking did, especially that I am hanging stupidly on his back. Damn you Sir Astrair!
"PUT ME DOWN!" I shouted, this positions so hard for me. I'm even afraid to move, I might fall!
He didn't answer, instead he walked through the villas.
I am moving just to get off him. I'm so angry to him. And at last, I succeeded. "The fuck, Erza! What the fuck is your problem! Let's go before the storm got-- "I didn't let him finished and I pushed him hard, away from me.
"I DON'T CARE! GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY SIGHT!" I said and marched away from him. I don't even know where to go, all I know is that I wanted to stay away from him.
Damn him. Damn him. I don't care about him. I'm so angry. Womanizer, what a fucking womanizer! Well, she is more beautiful than me, more elegant and wealthier. They're goofing. Damn them.
A few minutes later, I don't know anymore where am I. It's too late to realize that I'm in the middle of the forest already.
I feel like my blood left my body from what I have done. Even though its only 12 noon. It looks so gloomy and dark because of the rain.
"Shit! How can I go back?" I asked myself while looking at the surroundings filled with trees.
I am at the verge of crying. I'm even feeling so cold right now.
This is all my fault. Why did I even walk out from the first place though.
I tried to go back from where I was walking earlier but I'm scared because of the tall grasses.
"This is all your fault, Erza! " I said to myself and just sat on the side and hugged my knees. I hope someone will see me here. Huhuhu.
I didn't even realize that I am already crying. This is all my fault.
"Miss, you're lost? " I heard someone said that in front of me.
When I raised my head to see. My eyes widen from seeing a such beautiful man.
I blinked many times. Just to make sure he's not some kind of a ghost.
I am looking stupid while staring at his beautiful face. He's so handsome.
"Miss?" The man said and flick a finger in front of my face, just to get my attention.
"Y-yes... " I answered and gulped.
"Well, I bet you're one of the architects of Grayfaurd Firm. " He concluded while looking at me intently.
I'm shocked from what he said. How did he know that?
"A, yes. " The only thing I said and stood up.
I am not yet comfortable with him because he's still a stranger, but at least I'm not that scared anymore because I have someone now. "C-can you send me back to the area. I mean to the GFC? " I said a little of ashamed.
He smiled widely and offered his hand on me. "It's my pleasure, Miss. " he said and he grabbed my hand for a handshake.
I didn't even mind where we are heading and just look at his handsome face. He's really like Adonis.
*Tuggssshhhh!!! *
I screamed from the loud thunder and the sharp lightning.
Oh ghod, I am not really scared of thunder and lightnings but it's a different story when you're outside. It seems like it's going to hit you.
"I think, we should stay here, Miss. It's not safe. " Said the guy and pulled me somewhere, different from the way we are heading earlier.
I saw a little cabin, it's not in a good condition, but it's enough to be a shelter.
He grabbed me because I was walking so slow. Then we reached the cabin safe from the lightning.
"I hope this will end now." I murmured and hugged my knees again.
"I have to get something." he said.
I didn't know where the handsome man goes, I thought he left me, I didn't even realize that after a while, I slept.

When I woke up, it's already evening and I have a soft comforter on my body.
I was about to stand, when someone grabbed my waist and pulled me down again.
"Don't move, your head might hurt. " the boy said but I didn't listen to him.
I have to go back. For sure they are worried now. It's been a while.
"I need to go." I said and removed the comforter on my body.
"O-okay." He said.
And it's true. He helped me go back to the area.
"Thank you." I said.
He only smiled, so I smiled back.
He almost turned his back on me but I called him.
"A! Can I know your name?" I asked curiously.
"Laeck " he said while looking at me back. I got curious so I turned my head.
And to my shock, seeing Sir Astrair's face who's angrily looking at me. He's wet and furious. It's already six in the evening so I guess he's under the rain for a long time. "Who. Is. He." He said in such a scary voice.
I didn't answer him immediately because I was shock from his sudden presence.
"WHO'S. THAT. GUY!" He said a bit louder making my veins tremble in fear.
All I can see was fury in his charming eyes. He's angry, and I can't even level it.
"MISS ERZA!! "I heard Mira and Lucy's voice.
From the distance. I can see them running to our direction.
"Miss, Erza! You got us worri--
Mira didn't even finish her word when Sir Astrair grabbed me away from them.
The way he gripped my wrist, I already feel the rage in his veins. If it's possible, he can really break my bones right now.
I feel him. I didn't even move and let him do whatever he wants. I'm scared of him right now; I don't even think that I can object him from his seriousness.
He took me to his villa, the moment I reached there, I was shocked when he pushed me immediately on the bamboo door, making me groan from pain. "ANSWER ME ERZA... " he said calmly but I know he's angry.
"It's Laeck. "I only said. The more that I want to answer him, I can't because I'm scared of his anger.
"HOW DID YOU MET. " he asked with the same intensity.
"On the forest. "I gulped. He sounds so different today. It seems like I'm talking with a different Astrair today. He sounded so angry. *Boogssh! *
I closed my eyes when he punched the door. Making it squeak.
I am so nervous, hesitant really angry right now. I want to get out here but I can't.
Damn, what did I do?
"Almost 7 hours... Seven fucking hours, Erza! What did the both of you did? You kiss?" He said and he came closer to me.
I immediately feel the heat of his body. I frowned. He has fever?
I raised my hands to feel his neck but he pulled me closer to him, making my hands snaked on his neck and our body pressed. He kissed me immediately, soft but with anger.
I answered his kiss and feel the temperature of his lips.
The way he is kissing me, the way our lips met their way, is making me moan but the fact that he's on fever is different.
He holds my butt and snaked my legs on his hips while pressing me harder against the wall.
I want to kiss him back more but I'm also worried. I pushed him.
"You're sick " I whispered sweetly on his lips while tracing his wet hair with my fingers.
"I'm not. "he hissed then kissed me on my neck.
He removed the neckline lace of my dress revealing my chest.
He held my waist then gently caressed it. I tilted my head to give him wider space kissing my chest.
My sight darted to the Lampara the side below his bed. The fire is dancing because of the wind.
"Ah... " a moan escaped from my mouth when I felt his tongue sucking my flawless neck.
I closed my eyes then hugged him. I don't want to end this night like this.
"Astrair. You need to rest... You're sick. "I whispered softly and sweetly.
He didn't answer. Instead he pushes me on the bed and be on top of me.
"I'm not sick, Erza... I still have the energy to do this with you. " he said.
I feel like I blushed a lot from what he said.
I don't care if those words were making me aroused, all I want to do now is heal him.
AND WE WON'T DO THAT AGAIN HERE.
"No! "I said and pushed him on his bed.
I sat on his stomach and tied the lace on chest.
Fear crept me again when I saw the rage in his eyes.
"You're saying no to me now?" he said as if it's his biggest problem.
I grew silent. Well, I want him too but he needs rest.
"It's not like that. You need to rest. You're sick. "I said and gulped.
He pouted and frowned. He hugged his pillow and covered his whole body with his blanket.
I raised my eyebrows. I know he's only doing this as his tactics just so he could make me say yes.
I went outside to wet the towel so I can wipe his body.
"I thought you left." He said pouting when I came back.
I didn't answer him, I just wiped his forehead.
I pulled down the wet towel on his neck and looked at him on the eye.
He took a deep breath and looked at me.
"You want me? Get better first. " I said and leaned to give him a sensual kiss on his lips.
