120 Chapter 120: Pay for the damages

Loki smirked, "Ah! I see now... Why do you have his things with you?"

Stella said carelessly, " Because he dropped it at my room last night."

Loki's brows twitched in anger when he heard that Usui spent the night in her room.

He couldn't quite point out why he suddenly felt like smashing Usui to a pulp. He folded his hands and gritted his teeth, "And, why was he in your room? and that too at night?"

Stella smiled when she thought that he was finally understanding what she was trying to tell. So without waiting, she said, " Zeke was worried about me so he climbed into my room and stayed with me."

Loki scoffed suddenly finally making Stella focus on his expression. She was too into explaining that she forgot to take note of his expressions. She finally realized that Loki was mad...no, he was furious.

Stella widened her eyes as she thought back to what she said. She drew her brows together and mumbled under her breath, "I didn't say anything but the truth."

Her eyes shifted to the dark face and she gulped thinking of what to say for him to listen clearly. But a flash of panic passed through her eyes when she saw him turn around to leave.

'Damn it'

Stella hurriedly grasped his hand making Loki pause. Loki looked down at her snowy white hands before glancing at her face. He couldn't help but berate himself for feeling weak in front of her.

He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard her frantically say, "Loki... believe me when I say this. It is all a huge misunderstanding. Just let me explain it to you."

He narrowed her eyes at her as he spat out, "Oh really?"

Stella nodded hurriedly with panic in her eyes when she suddenly noticed someone walking towards them. She gripped his hand tightly as her eyes locked onto the figure.

The figure seemed to notice them as he came to a standstill and scratched his chin awkwardly. 

'Just why was Jinha here all of a sudden?'

Jinha paused as his eyes focused on the scene before. The almighty Loki was been held by a girl. His eyes brightened at this newly found information before he noticed Stella's panic expression.

Jinha thought, 'Did she not want any intervention?'

He coughed softly before pointing towards the cluster of trees before disappearing from her view. Stella held back a sigh when she realized how complicated her situation was. 

'How is she supposed to explain it to him without Jinha hearing it? Wouldn't Jinha immediately tell Hazel everything?'

'Gaaah!!! she was going crazy'

Loki frowned when he noticed her panic face. He asked worriedly, "What is it?"

Loki straightened as he asked, "So what were you saying?"

Stella cried inwardly, 'Why did he have to ask now?'

Her eyes shifted towards the trees where she knew Jinha was listening to their conversation.

Stella laughed nervously as she said, "Umm... Zeke was just joking, he does that always."

Loki had a look of understanding on his face before he smiled crookedly and took a step forward.

Stella instinctively took a step back as she looked at Loki warily.

She widened her eyes in horror when she heard him ask slowly, "Ah!! is that why I saw u hugging him tightly in the middle of the path?"

She asked anxiously, "What? When did you see that?"

Loki scoffed as he walked slowly towards her, one step at a time. 

"I don't see you denying it."

Stella closed her mouth into a thin line as her feet backed slowly away from him. She closed her eyes in embarrassment as her face turned red.

Loki narrowed his eyes when he saw her blushing at his questions. He gritted his teeth as he took two steps forward. 

"You must have been elated thinking of staying in his room all night long."

Stella stopped her movement which made Loki halt instinctively. 

'Okay, wait what? Why did he still think that I wanted to stay in his room?'

Stella looked up and noticed his darkened expression. She gulped as she stuttered, "H-Hold on..."

She widened her eyes when she saw him increasing his pace making her back hit against the tree softly. She watched him with wide eyes as he placed his arms beside her, effectively caging her.

Loki lowered his face to her level and asked coldly, "Why? do you have anything more to add?"

Seeing Stella stunned at his words, his lips curled up as he asked, "Or did you want me to help you till his room?"

Stella knitted her brows until she saw him glancing at the bags she was holding in front of her chest. 

She shook her head, "Noo...it's not that-"

Loki sneered, "So you want to go alone, huh... It is perfect! no one to disturb you."

Stella gaped at him. Okay! she didn't have a clue of what he wanted now.

Loki squinted his eyes at her silence before moving closer to her face making Stella's heart thump hard. She gulped nervously when she felt his breath fall on her face. When she saw his red eyes observe her closely, she stammered.

"I-I just wanted to help Zeke... that's w-why I said I-I will spend the night with him."

Loki nodded distracted by her lips. 

He mumbled softly as his fingers caressed her cheeks which felt like cotton, "But you said it's been a long time."

Stella's face burned so much that she believed she looked like a ripe tomato. Her voice quivered as she answered softly, "Because it has been."

She snapped out of her trance when she felt his fingers leave her skin. She knitted her brows before she looked at him to find him eyeing her darkly.

'What? What did she say now?'

Loki straightened up and asked coldly, "So you have been sharing rooms since long ago?"

Stella nodded her head slowly as she wondered why he was focusing on that.

'Isn't it normal to share rooms when we were young?'

Loki snorted, "Good for you."

And he turned around and walked away leaving Stella speechless.

'What just happened?'

She thought the misunderstanding was getting cleared up. She touched her cheek where his fingers grazed slightly making her yearn for more. She bit her lips looking at his broad back when Hazel's words drifted to her mind.

"You don't have to think of me as a problem or be wary about me. You guys should love each other without being worried about a third person like me. You can even consider that I don't exist if you want"

Stella's eyes widened as she gazed at his broad back. 

'Hold on, if Hazel thought that I was in love with Zeke then did he also?'

She gasped before she shouted with all her might, "Loki!!"

Loki was startled by her sudden shout that he turned around instinctively. But when he saw her safe, he released a breath and asked, "Yeah?"

Stella marched towards him and stared into his red eyes as she asked slowly, "Do you also think that Zeke and I are in a relationship?"

Loki froze for a second before he shook his head slowly. Stella's face brightened instantly as she smiled brightly and patted her chest in relief.

'Thank God, my Loki isn't stupid like them.'

She shook her head as she thought, 'I don't think I can go through that episode back to back.'

Until she heard him utter, "I don't think... I'm sure of it."

Stella gaped at him as her eyes widened in shock and complexion paled slightly.

She cried inside her mind, 'My Loki is not stupid'

Stella exhaled as she started to say, "What? But I'm not-"

Loki raised his hand to stop her and shook his head. 

"I don't care, it's your life and you have all the right in the world to love anyone you want."

He looked at her and said nonchalantly, "I have an appointment now. So I'm taking my leave."

Stella frowned when his words registered in her dazy mind.

'Appointment?'

She scrutinized his clothes and found him to be somewhat dressed fancy. She squinted her eyes as she asked, "With who?"

Loki looked at her and asked coldly, "Is that any of your business?"

Her eyes flared up as she tugged his shirt making him bent down to her level. She saw his eyes widen slightly as he stared at her.

"Now, Listen here, Mr. Knight. If you dare to cheat on me or even have a thought of going after another woman, then trust me when I say this. I will make it that she won't be able to return with her legs intact."

Loki stared at her speechlessly, too shocked by her sudden domineering attitude. He watched her turn away from him with a loud Hmph!

Stella stomped her way to the dormitory all the while furiously thinking, 'How dare he tries to meet someone behind my back?'

Stella stopped in front of Zeke's room and thought of the reason why this was happening.

Her lips curled up as she cracked her knuckles. Someone needs to pay for the damage he caused.
