BXBX NOVEL Chapter 243 - I Don't Want This To End
\'\'It is fine, what are friends for? \'\' she chuckled lightly before they finally let go of themselves and sat back on the table.
Michael sat across from her and smiled when he saw that she was now beaming brightly, to think that she actually knew about it and just pretended all these while. He thought he knew her, but it was obvious she was just a Rubik\'s cube, he was just getting started.
\'\'Do you want to eat something? \'\' She had ordered wine, but now they were good, maybe she would want to eat.
\'\'Yes! Yes, I\'m starving! \'\' They both chuckled and ordered again; to think she also lost appetite because of him. This man had really gotten into her skin.
She ate happily and to her fill, Michael placed food on her plate as he watched her eat, she was so happy and was now talking about everything that happened in the week.
He couldn\'t help but chuckle as he listened to her jokes; he remembered all the times he asked her about work and she would reply with \'nothing\', but now she chatted about almost everything that happened during filming.
He liked this part of her a lot, she actually kept him going; he had not felt his happy and relaxed in ages.
\'\'You changed your hairstyle? \'\' she said, well, she noticed his hairstyle when she walked in, but she was angry with him so she didn\'t care to acknowledge it.
\'\'It\'s so gorgeous, I love it. \'\' She beamed at him, a slight blush forming on her chin. The hairstyle made him look cocky in a sexy way and the way he gazed at her made her feel warmth in the middle of her legs. Okay, she was officially attracted to him, but who cares!
\'\'Thank you, I changed it last week. \'\'
\'\' mm, it suits you. \'\' She looked away from him gulping from her wine cup to hide her blush, she could feel his piercing gaze on her skin and she knew he was still staring at her.
\'\'Mm mm, so when do you want me to meet with Nicklaus? \'\' Diana asked immediately trying to shift the topic, \'\'
\'\'Anytime you are free, but I really need you to meet him soon, Catherine cannot be trusted, she can strike at any minute. \'\'
\'\'Alright, I\'ll meet with him tomorrow; I\'m free tomorrow. \'\'
\'\'Alright, thank you. \'\'
They talked for another thirty minutes before they finally left the restaurant. Diana did not want them to leave yet, she had missed out on him for weeks, she didn\'t want to leave him so soon, but she also didn\'t want to look like she was all over him too, so she held herself. They walked to the parking lot as the cold wind blew against their faces.
She was a little absent-minded that she did not realize the car driving towards them with speed, Michael quickly pulled her away from the road, hugging her tight. Her eyes were wide in shock as the car swept past them with great speed, her heart pounding on her chest.
\'\'Are you okay? \'\' Michael raised her face to look at her, fear written in his eyes; he looked down her body as though searching for where she was hurt.
\'\'I\'m fine. I\'m not hurt. \'\' Diana was still scarred from the shock, that was the first time she had been in a near accident.
Michael heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she was fine.
\'\'You got me scared for a minute, what were you thinking? \'\' He asked, pushing some hair away from her face, and cupping her chin.
Diana shook her head; his hold on her face was making her nervous, she could not even organize thought in her head. He stared at her for a moment and then held her hand, walking her to her car.
\'\'Can you drive home yourself? \'\' Michael asked as they stopped by her car;
\'\'Yeah, I can. I\'m fine, haha. \'\' she laughed.
He sighed; \'\'I am worried if you didn\'t hear the loud honk, how would you be able to concentrate on the road? \'\'
Diana looked down to her feet, her chin reddening. She thought for a moment and then she said;
\'\'I was thinking about you. I was really happy, didn\'t want the day to end at all. That is it, um, I\'ll be going home now, goodnight. \'\'
Diana had been shameless a couple of times, but today was the height of shamelessness. She couldn\'t believe she actually told him that she was thinking about him, gosh, her heart pounded against her chest as she turned to the car to escape, but before she could enter her car, Michael turned her around and pulled her into his embrace;
\'\'Me neither, I don\'t want today to end. \'\' He whispered as he hugged her close. Diana\'s eyes widened as the words passed through her eardrums and exploded in her heart. This was the first time he had said something intimate to her, her body automatically froze.
They hugged like that for a long while before Michael spoke again;
\'\'I\'ll love to be in your mind every single second but don\'t think about me while you\'re driving. It\'s dangerous. \'\'
Diana chuckled and she knew she was blushing hard right now. He let go of her and opened the car door for her; she grinned as she entered the car;
\'\'Drive safely. \'\'
\'\'yeah, you too; Goodnight \'\'
Michael smiled as he watched her car drive out of the parking lot. He had not been this happy in a long while. When he turned her around, it took all of his restraint not to kiss her lips. He didn\'t want to be too forward. Even though it was obvious she liked him, he didn\'t want to rush things, they had time, he would be slow with her.
Michael scratched his hair and turned to his car and got in, he started the ignition but before he could move, he felt cold metal on his temple;
\'\'Drive. \'\'
His whole body froze as he looked at the rearview mirror, the car was dark but he could see the silhouette of the person and it was a man. Not saying another word, he drove out of the restaurant.
