Chapter 24: The First Encounter
At first, I don't want to answer his kiss because it seems like I am surrendering myself to him again.
But no, from the heat coming from his body, I know the fact that I can't stop myself, I can't stop him, especially when I felt it against mine. His lips softly met mine that made the sleeping body active from his unexplainable effect. I didn't even realize it that I am already giving him access with all of me. I snaked my arms on his neck to make our kiss much deeper. Our bodies are so close with each other too.
But it stayed like that. He removed my hands on his nape and look at me intently. I didn't have a chance but look back at him. His eyes were fury as if it's telling me something.
He pulled me closer, like our distance isn't enough for him.
I sighed. "How can be this man be this attractive? " I talked to myself.
I never look at someone like this before. Ever since, I never experienced these things I experienced with him. How funny. And to think that he's only playing with me and will leave me in the end makes me want to cry in advance. "You're becoming more beautiful each day, Erza. And it's freaking the hell out of me." he whimpered near my ears.
I smiled at the back of my head, I admit that it sent shivers down my spine, but some part of me was scared. Man! Once a playboy will always be a playboy. He mastered this to lure women. The flowery words and suck. And I'm scared for myself because I think, I'm being one of those girls.
But the thing is, it's only a "what if" that word won't do us good. As what Nicholas Sparks said. "What and If are two words that if you put them together, side by side. It has a power to haunt you for the rest of your life" and from what I understood, we should not overthink too much from those things that didn't even happened yet, because it's better to take the risk and try, than regret because you didn't try anything at all. Treasure the moment when you feel that you are free, set aside those what if's because it can be the reason of your regrets. And as the moment goes like this, I promise to treasure this kind of memories.
"I know that already, boss. "I said trying to hide my smirk.
But my body is such a traitor, he saw my smirk and grab the chance to kiss me even more.
He kissed me again, and I think, his kisses were one of those valuable experiences that I should treasure. Not only because I love him, but because he's the only person I have only let to give me a kiss.

The days went fast as the project went faster to get finished too. Everyone is busy, you can't even see a situation where everyone rests together, it should be swiftly.
We were so busy, especially me, because we are already making my designs in real scenarios. The building was huge and big that made it even more crucial, you should be mindful to your calculations or everything will be in chaos, thank God that my team was here especially Enzo, I didn't end up even more stress.
I didn't get Enzo's heart again. He's cold and serious towards me. And I'm too busy to even think about that.
"Mira, can you pass me water, please?" I asked her while reading the files that I am currently holding. I didn't receive any response so I turned to her.
But I immediately frowned when I didn't saw anyone inside the building.
"Where are they?"
Instead of finding them, I just get a water for myself. I was about to drink when I saw someone looking at me outside the window. The person was wearing a black jacket and a hat. And base on her posture, I know who he is! My fear immediately risen. Damn I'm alone, I really prayed that my team will come.
It's Lacxous G.
Though I can't see his face, I can definitely see the smirk coming on his lips. It's giving me goosebumps.
He looked at my side, so I look there too. Then there, I saw a lot of Black with golden laces papers! Damn! Why is he pestering me again? I thought he's gone already?
When I glanced at the window again, I didn't saw him anymore. My knees were shaky as I walk to the other side and grabbed all of his letters. Sweetie,
Now I know why you didn't even miss me. You're with him, damn you!
Lacxous G.
***
Sweetie,
It's been two months the last time I gave you a letter. I hope you missed me. Because the stars are aware of how much I fucking missed you. Lacxous G.
****
Sweetie,
Do you think I didn't know how's your doing in this island? I got my eyes on you, sweetie, I got my eyes on you. I fucking want to fucking kill that fucking Astrair! I saw you with him in that river and in his cabin. I want to ripped the both of you. You're Fucking making me jealous, Sweetie. You are making me angry. Don't wait 'till this anger becomes an obsession, because next time, I'll make sure that I'll caught you in my arms. Lacxous G.

I dropped the bottle of water that I was holding because of his letter. Why am I so afraid of him? I thought he loves me but instead of courting me, why does it seem like he's threatening me? Aren't he scared that I might be angry at him or what? Who is he!
"Erza! "I turned to someone that called me. I saw Astrair coming at my place that's why I immediately covered the letters on my back.
"Don't hide it. I saw it already." He said and grabbed the papers out of my hand.
Astrair read the letters many times. I'm scared from the idea that Lacxous G might be serious about killing him. I don't think I can sleep after this.
"Do you have an idea whose this idiot?" he asked me.
I shook my head while biting my pale lower lips.
He sighed and pulled me closer to him.
"Don't be thrilled, that man is a coward, he can't even face you because he's got no enough balls. Damn. He even gave you those cheap papers and such a cliche letters." he said grinning. Tss, how I want to slap this one too. "Those are Napoleon Yestreen Copulation papers, boss. And they aren't cheap. " I said with emphasis.
He only shrugged and didn't even mind what I said.
"It's cheap. It's only a hundred thousand dollars." he said.
Wow, he called that cheap. Now I'm ashamed of the papers I have in school way back. Maybe it's a garbage to him.
"Tss, he's scary. " I said and pushed him away from me, but he pulled me closer to him again.
"Scared? Tss. I'll get him then punch him to death." He said and hugged me tightly. I let myself get lost from his hugs first. At least I felt relax for a moment.
"How long does he keep on giving you letters?" he asked.
I didn't answer him immediately and think about the first time he gave me those letters.
"Last Five months, the day after you almost raped me in your office. " I said that made him pout.
"Tss." He said and pulled me even closer and tried to give me a kiss.
"Wai- I tried to push him because I saw a shadow on the window again.
"I know he's watching, let's make him jealous. " He said while chuckling.
I don't know if I'll let him, but I just saw myself becoming lost from his kisses.
Ugh, I can't really resist him.

Third Person's Point of View
While Astrair's kissing Erza, he knows the fact that the stalker is only watching them. Erza didn't noticed his anger because of the soft kisses he's giving her.
He knows the person; he fucking knows the person. How can he do that?
When the night comes, he made sure that Erza is asleep peacefully before he went out on his villa.
He went down and walked silently to the seaside because he knows that the person was there.
When he got there, Lacxous gave him a surprise punch.
"Good that you find out that quick!" Lacxous angrily stated.
"Don't be such a bullshit Lacxous, she's mine, so back off!" Astrair blurted and punched the man back.
"She's mine even before! Fuck man! You know that!" Lacxous shouted angrily.
"You moron! She's mine! I did the first move! " Astrair shouted and pushed the crying man.
"Damn you! You did the first move because I was away! I was fucking away! You're a damn cheater!" Lacxous shouted, his voice broke because of his burst of emotions, pain, suffering, mixed. He grabbed a bottle of wine on the shore and drink
it.
"It's over already, and to warn you, back off and don't ever give her those damn letters, it's fucking annoying and you are scaring her! " Astrair said and walked out.
Lacxous was left on the shore, shouting in agony of pain. He can't even kill that man; he can't even dare to kill that man. He's busted. He's so busted.
"I don't know what I did that God is making me suffer this way. No matter what, I'll win her." He said, enough for Astrair to hear.
He throws the wine on the sea and went to the yatch. Later on, the yatch moved away from the island.
Who might be this person?

(-- Back on Erza)
I can feel the soreness from all over my body, I didn't even notice that I slept here in his cabin. I smiled.
I can't remember anything from last night after I slept, all I could ever remember is that I slept with him.
I think, nothing happened though. If there is, well, maybe it wasn't important.
