Chapter 44: Fourty four

I froze there in confusion and fear. My words had made Lexus angry enough that he ended up breaking the glass in his hands.

And even though it bled so much he didn't care.

"I-I'm sorry..." I said, "I didn't mean it." My voice was only loud enough to be heard.

"Come here." He demanded and I walked down to him. His gaze fixed on me at every moment and movement. I went and stood in front of him, staring at his bleeding hand.

"There was no need for you to get this angry." I looked at the floor instead of him, "You look so scary..." I whispered.

"I look scary?" He grabbed my chin with his bleeding hand and pulled my face up to make sure I was looking at him, "So you want to leave me?"

I held his hand on my chin with both of mine, letting them get soiled with blood, "No." I brought down his hand, "Shouldn't we get this treated?" I still looked at him.

He didn't answer my question, instead continued the interrogation, "Answer me honestly. Are you jealous of Diana?"

I gritted my teeth. Who would want to admit that they're jealous?

"Yes."

He grinned at my answer and I felt embarrassed, then he laughed.

"There's no point of you being jealous of her. You both are in completely different leagues."

I was dumbstruck by his answer, then it made me furious. It hurt me how he said that out so bluntly. I already know we're in different leagues!

He took a tissue paper and wrapped it around his hand.

I turned on my heels to go upstairs then stopped. I don't want to be here right now. I turned again, walked past him and made my way to the main door.

"Where are you going?" He asked as he noticed something wrong. His phone rang at the same time but he ignored it.

I didn't answer him and made my way out. I didn't take the elevator, instead I ran to the stairs as soon as I realized Lexus was coming after me but he caught my wrist just after a few steps down.

"Let me go!"

"Where are you going?" He glared at me.

"You're a jerk!!" I snatched my wrist free and began to run again when he caught me again at the stair conjunction. He held my wrists and pinned me to the wall.

"You have the wrong idea." He growled.

"Oh yea? Care to explain how?"

He sighed and let me go.

"Just know that you have the upper hand."

"Are you trying to mold your words?"

"I never did. You understood it wrong. Diana is only a friend."

"And what am I?"

"What do you mean what are you? You're my girlfriend."

I turned and started going further down. I have to suppress my smile. I will not yield.

"Fine." He took a deep breath, "I'll just follow you."

And he began descending the stairs after me.

After two floors down I decided to just take the elevator and he followed. He went everywhere I went without a word, just quietly following behind.

It was all fine while we were in an isolated place but as soon as we got to the shopping area, all eyes were on us. Especially on Lexus.

Everyone noticed how he was just following me. I stopped and so did he, I walked, so did he. I fast-paced and he followed. I turn and so does he.

Annoyed I stopped and turned to him.

"Why are you doing this?" He just shrugged. "Everyone is looking!" He smirked like he didn't care. "I'll keep walking like this the whole night." He snickered.

Right. He has a habit of barely sleeping. I'll only torture myself.

I chewed on my lips and then my gaze landed on his hand. The tissue he had wrapped around it was completely filled with blood.

I sighed, turned and walked out of the hotel.

***

I sat on the stool a little further away from Lexus as the doctor treated his injury.

The nurse came to me and handed me a wet towel. I looked at her confused and she pointed at my chin.

I wiped my chin and looked at it. It was red.

My eyes went wide for a moment as I remembered that I never cleaned up the blood on the chin and just walked like a moron everywhere.

God...

No wonder everyone was looking!

This is embarrassing. It's all his fault! I glared at Lexus but he just smirked.

After he was done we made our way out of the place.

"Why did you break it?" I asked.

"Hmm?"

"Why did you break the glass? Why did you get so angry?"

"I didn't like what you said."

"I didn't say anything that would make someone so furious."

He stopped in his path and I paused as I noticed. I looked back at him, at his face, at his ice-cold eyes that I hadn't seen in a while, as he looked back at me.

"No. You can't leave me, Rosalie. You can't even say that you will." His voice was deeper than usual.

"Wha-?"

"You're mine. Mine alone." He spoke and it looked as if he had a possessive nature hidden inside of him. A frightening one.

"And what if someday I do run away?"

He smiled. An odd smile.

"I'll just get you back."

I stared at him, not sure what to feel. Should I be happy? His words seem a little scary.

"Lexus. You do like me right?"

His expressions softened.

"Way more than you can imagine." He walked towards me and pulled me next to his chest, I could hear his heartbeat, slightly louder than normal.

It felt nice and warm.

"You mean the world to me Rosalie."
