Wicked Kiss

Chapter 27: when melancholy hugs



I opened my eyes slowly upon hearing the loud bells from the doorbell. Although I am feeling entirely tired, I pushed myself to stand up because I know it was Sting.

I was only wearing a night gown, so I fixed myself first before going out.

"Sting?" I said the moment I opened the door.

I frowned when there's no one out there.

"Huh? He's not here yet or just playing with me?" I said to myself.

I look at the whole area. No one was there but I really heard the doorbell. It's not like I'm hallucinating or something because I won't wake up from my deep sleep if I was just hallucinating.

I was about to close the door when I saw a golden lace lying on the doorstep.

I picked it up only to realize it was from Lacxous G. Fear crept me again. I don't feel good now.

It feels like my teeth were aching because of the fear I am currently feeling right now. This is bad.

I don't want to get the paper but I really feel like someone's watching me. Why is he back again? He's gone for weeks and now he's back again.

I am really frustrated to know this person. I want to know why he don't have enough balls to face me.

I don't know if Lacxous G is doing this because he's underestimating me. Because every time I receive his letters, I would always feel scared. He keeps on pressuring me eternally. And I hate it. I need to be tough so that he'll realize that I am not that easy as he thinks of me.

I grabbed the letter and read it intentionally while he's watching me. Lacxous G is not just an ordinary man. He's not typical. He's a multi-billionaire and he can manipulate the things with his bare hands. And I don't know what did I do that he's wasting time on me.

And the weirdest thing here, is that the moment Astrair started hitting on me, that's where he started.

Is it coincidence? Or the fate is just really playing with me.

Sweetie,

You want to know me? Then chase me. I want you and I love you, but don't get me wrong. I'm human and I get hurt whenever I see you hurting. You don't want me, but I want you. You don't need me, but I need you.

That's the feeling of being in love. And you are fucking my mind wherever I go. Someday, I'll have the courage to present myself to you.

Lacxous G.

I used to be trembling with fear every time I read his letter it was different now. All I want is to find him. There is no mixture of fear. Maybe I'm used to it.

Lacxous G doesn't want me hurt. That only means that I am safe. Why don't he just present himself? He's got nothing to lose. This is freaking me out. Why can't he? Why?

I locked the door properly and went back to my room to sleep again.

I was about to sleep but I remembered the video I saw earlier again.

I don't want to remember that. Damn.

I sighed and covered my face with a pillow. Hays, when will this pain stop?

They kissed! Or maybe more than that!

I caught him having sex with Emerald, and I caught him kissing another woman. The most painful thing in this situation is that- I don't have the rights to be hurt because he's not mine, but I'm hurting. That's the most embarrassing fact. I look at the ceiling and took a deep breath.

I am thinking and analyzing things.

Aistrair Grayfaurd, was my boss. My big boss. I am his employee and that FUCKING love life isn't in my vocabulary. Suddenly he appeared. He intentionally trashed his coffee on my skirt and told me to go in his office. He tried to rape me but I did kick his balls. I was his employee. Nothing more nothing less. He wanted to claim me for the reason I don't know. I surrendered myself to him and later on, he dumped me and left and I don't even know the real reason.

I didn't do anything wrong or bad but he treated me like a shit. If he planned all of this, then what the fuck. Fuck him so much.

Another tear come streaming on my cheeks. I held the top of my chest and cried even more.

He's the kind of a person that can throw you away without hesitation. He made me fell for him first before he bullshit me. Why does everyone that I love leaves? It's really their favorite huh? What a shameless prick he is. He's stupid and I hate him a lot.

***

Later on the bell rang. I immediately went down and I don't care if it's Lacxous or not. I want to see them both anyway.

When I opened the door, Sting's smiling face immediately showed up. He looks happy.

I tried to smile and opened the door wider.

"Hi! Did I wake you up?" He excitedly said.

I only raised my eyebrows and sighed. I really want to forget that person now.

"No, I was really waiting for you. " I said as a matter of fact.

He didn't answer, he just sit there in front of me and starred at me directly.

His gazes were making me uncomfortable. It feels like I'm being caged and I just want to cry and hug him tight.

It's been awhile since we had time for each other. I missed him.

"

"I was right, Erza. You are not okay. " he said then pulled me closer to him and let me hug him.

Instead of being shock, I hugged him back and cried in his shoulders.

"Sshhh" Sting whispered.

I am wiping my tears from time to time with my hands, but he stopped me, instead of me wiping my tears away, his hands replaced it.

"Can you tell me what's wrong? Can you please tell me who's the bastard that made my Majesty cry?" He whispered very sweetly that made me cry even more.

All I need is comfort, that's why I can't bully myself for crying shit like this.

"I-it hurts a l-lot, Sting! "I burst and hugged him even more tightly.

"Do you want me to hire a hitman to shoot that bastard?" He whispered with the same intensity.

I wanted to make face to him, but I only sniffed.

"H-how I wish." I said while shutting my eyes.

"Can you tell me who is he? And how did you fucking met?" He asked curiously.

I gulped and look at him seriously.

"Let's get inside first. " I said.

He smiled and held my biceps before pulling me inside.

****

"Astrair Grayfaurd you say, Erza?!" Sting Said so shocked that he even dropped his water. I told him everything already, except those things private. It's inappropriate to say those things already. "Yes. "I only said.

Sting stood up as if I just told him the most absurd thing on earth.

"Grayfaurd! Whoah!" He said and dropped himself on the sofa.

"W-why?"

"You should stop that fucking feeling immediately, Erza. His Family own the agency where I work, and his brother Alstriem Grayfaurd is an FBI agent, as well an unbelievable business tycoon! That Astrair is a fucking playboy and by knowing him, you are already hurting yourself, Erza!" He explained the truth.

I looked down and think about the things Sting said.

I can't believe it. "You mean, you know him?" I asked, in teary eyes.

"Yes! In parties, and you don't want to know how aggressive he was when it comes to girls. " then he shakes his head to explain and show me that he's disappointed.

You are already too old for this Erza.

"He loves playing hearts, Erza. And you are not an exemption. " he said that made me so weak.

Why does it hurt a lot? Why does it seem like Sting is waking me up from my illusions but he's hurting me as well?

This is already so painful. I don't even think I can survive from this.

"I have nothing to do with it, Sting! It hurts a lot! I didn't do something wrong, yet it's happening to me! Does my suffering weren't enough for them to hurt me like this over and over again?! I'm so tired! I need a break!! Sting, please help me." I pleaded crying.

There's silence in between us for a moment.

"I am here, Erza. Can you please put that in your mind? When did you see that I let you suffer like that?" He said calmly.

I smiled. At least this smile is genuine.

"What do you want to do." He whispered on my ear.

"I want to forget him; I want to move on. I want to live my life happy. I want another happy memory. I want myself be brave enough to overcome challenges, I want myself new, I want him to suffer, I want them to know that I am not the Erza they used to know. "I said in my heart's content.

"Well I guess, it's the right time to see that Erza I want to see." He whispered and it seems like he wanted to laugh

"They don't know me, Sting. I am not good when I'm angry, they hurt me. And now that you're here. You have no right to say no. You got to help me." I said bravely and wiped the tears from my eyes.

"Are you sure about that Erza?" He asked excitedly. It seems like he's happy from my decision

"Do I look like I'm joking? " I said and looked at him directly in the eye.

"You are beautiful. " he said, that made me smirk.

"Tss! I'm serious, Sting! "I said and make my face even closer to him.

He became serious all of a sudden. He looked at me with the same intensity in his eyes. This is the only moment I can see how he's looking handsome.

"Then, come with me in the US. Let's change yourself, majesty." he then.

Kissed me.
