BXBX NOVEL Chapter 253 - Tell Me You Don't Love Me
Leo drove as fast as he could; beads of sweat broke out on his forehead;
He knew Claire, even though she appeared strong and calculated she was one who ran away from issues she couldn\'t solve and the last time she did that, she didn\'t come back till after five months. He had waited for so long and now she was almost within his reach she wanted to run away?
He wasn\'t sure what would be the state of things he next time he would see her if he let her go. No, he had to talk to her, now. Her house was a twenty-minute drive from his, he prayed she had not left already; it was going to shatter him all over.
Leo drove speedily into her compound, jumping out of the car without parking properly. Just that moment, he saw Claire hurrying out of the house with her luggage. His feet froze at a spot as he panted, his hair looking messy and his eyes staring straight at the woman in front of him.
Claire\'s eyes widened when she saw him and she turned around instantly to run back into the house but this time Leo was faster; he quickly grabbed her hand stopping her.
\'\'Let go of me!\'\' Claire screamed as she vibrated as though he was a serial killer, the only thing she wanted now was to be as far away from him as possible. She didn\'t want to look at his face, no, no …
\'\'Claire, please listen to me; \'\'
\'\'What do you want?\'\' she cut him off; \'\'what the hell do you want! I\'m going to scream if you don\'t let me go this minute;\'\' He knew what she was trying to do, she wanted to scare him away, but he wasn\'t going to let her.
\'\'what do you want? I told you, the kiss did not mean anything if that\'s what you are here for. It was a mistake, that\'s all; let me go now. \'\'
Leo stared at her for a brief moment, her eyes were shaking and all the while she spoke she couldn\'t look him in the eye;
\'\'If it didn\'t mean anything, why are you trying to run away? \'\'
Claire\'s face drained of all color; no, this was not happening, what did he come to do to her? Did he want to scold her for kissing another woman\'s boyfriend whom she had rejected without even giving a chance?
Her lips trembled as tears fell from the side of her eyes;
\'\'Just let me go please… \'\'
\'\'If it didn\'t mean anything, why are you so scared? \'\'
Claire bit her lower lip tightly; \'\'I\'m scared because I did something wrong, it was a mistake and I didn\'t know if you would misunderstand it, I didn\'t want…\'\'
\'\'I love you… \'\'
Leo\'s words cut her off and her mouth hung open in shock;
\'\'I still love you Claire; I haven\'t stopped loving you even for one minute. I thought being with another person would change the way I feel about you, but no, Claire, right now, my heart is still racing the same way it was the first day I saw you. \'\' Leo swallowed hard, his throat very dry. Claire\'s pupils dilated as the left part of her chest beat too fast that she thought she might faint;
Suddenly Leo let go of her; Claire was shocked but she did not move, she just stood still staring at him.
\'\'Now, I want you to look me straight in the eyes and tell me you don\'t love me back. \'\'
Leo breathed heavily, his eyes staring piercingly at Claire. Claire\'s eyes shook at his words and she tried to look away from him but his gaze held hers so piercingly that she felt hypnotized. She opened her lips to speak, but they could only flutter;
\'\'I… I… \'\'
Leo stared at her, his eyes watering. The first time he told her this she was quick to reject him, but now, she was staring at him, but the words could not leave her lips.
\'\'I love you; \'\' Claire said out of the blues and Leo shook lightly, shock overwhelming him. He didn\'t expect her to reply, but he was shocked to hear her say that. His lips trembled as he stared at the trembling figure in front of him. He opened his mouth to speak but no words could come out.
Claire stared at the man in front of her, her body shook and her heart raced. Her eyes dropped from his eyes to his lips and in the next second, she closed the gap between them and kissed him.
Leo\'s hands went around her reflexively and he deepened the kiss. In a matter of seconds, they were struggling against each other, all the pent of love, lust, passion, frustration, they all wanted to vent it all at once.
Claire didn\'t realize she was against his body now, her hands gripped his shirt and tore it away from his body, hurried pants leaving their lips; Leo jacked her up, her legs going around his waists, and their lips not breaking as he led them into the house.
They were not saying a word, but their actions said everything not said; Claire didn\'t know how many things broke but she could hear some crashing of glasses as he carried her into her room; by the time they got there, they were almost naked, with only what they wore below on.
Leo\'s eyes flashed on her breast, and a wave of lust gripped him; his mouth came latching onto them, Claire moaned in ecstasy as her hands struggled to get his pants off him. Damn, she needed him inside her badly. She was almost dying from need.
Thankfully she was wearing a skirt, so when she was done with his pants, she hurriedly lifted her skirt up, not patient enough to take it off, though it later came off later in the night.
The next morning Claire couldn\'t believe what happened, she thought it was a dream until she felt someone drawing something on her back, her cheeks heat up as she remembered the events of the previous night.
Leo pulled her closer and kissed, more like licked her shoulders, down to her neck.
\'\'Good morning, \'\'
