Chapter 146 - An apology

Diana held her breath as her body go down in a flash. She couldn't think or scream. She felt like her heart is floating as she fell and suddenly bam!

She's not even sure if she's about to touch the ground or not, but suddenly found herself in a warm embrace, with a familiar scent.

The two rolled on the floor, before they stabilized. Diana quickly turned and was laying flat on Ethan's chest.

She blinked and gulped. Her heart beating crazilly as her eyes stared into his, a sweet smile on his face, as the baseball cap on his head fell off, his hair gracing his forehead, with the aid of the orange street lights; his beauty shine at her, making her gulped subconsciously.

"That was a cute fall." Ethan said, while Diana still kept looking into his eyes, not blinking and just staring.

Ethan reached his hand to her head and removed the hood, before catching a glimpse of her face clearly.

He expected her to be pissed and has prepared a lot of explanation, before tailing her. He has made her research on the girl, immediately he woke up in the morning, but couldn't detect anything on her. She very clean.

But Ethan isn't an idiot. Since Diana mentioned it's related to work; he wouldn't just let her face it by herself. He wouldn't affect her work and neither will he ignore.

Diana has made her findings as well. The company didn't place much importance on cleaners, so she didn't discover much. Just her a normal short info and the rest is very clean. Just as Ethan's discovery.

"You look so beautiful in the air. I felt like throwing you up once again." Ethan said to the woman who kept staring into his eyes.

But, a part of him felt like he should punch himself in the face. He knew he went overboard with his argument with her.

Her scared expression hunted his sleep all through the night. He knew the fright still resides in her. If not; she would have gotten angry at him for showing up, but he could tell, she's scared of pising him off.

He felt like a jerk and despise his jealousy. He went overboard and he regretted it. The anger only lasted while they were at it. Immediately they settled it; he has been feeling bad.

"What did I do to deserve you?" Diana spoke. She had no idea what was going on in her man's head, and yes! she was choosing her words well, just as Ethan suspected.

"Because you were ugly?" Ethan asked.

"You!" Diana glared at him.

"Tsk. My baby doesn't understand English. I said you were…. so…."

They forgot the position they were and what brought them to such, until someone flashed his mobile torch at them.

Both giggled and looked at the man on his bike. The man smiled as he thought they were making out on the floor, before leaving.

Diana slowly got up and looked up at the closed window. She finally understood that she's really in deep sh*t with a psycho. "Are you hurt?" she asked as Ethan also stood up, dusting his clothes.

"The fall can't compare to my greatest fall. The one I couldn't get up from." Ethan replied and tried to help her clean her body as well, but gulped when he realized the areas that got stained.

"Hmm hmm." he cleared his throat and dropped his hand beside him, making Diana smiled.

"What fall are you talking about? Someone tried to hurt you?" Diana asked.

"I can't tell you." Ethan said and took her hand into his. "Let's go before it started, we only have a few hours left," he added, looking at his wrist watch.

Diana followed along, but still glanced back at the closed window, with a darkened gaze. 'I'm coming for you.' she said in her head.

"Tell me the fall, and where are we going?" Diana asked.

"To watch a movie. I heard there's a movie that became a hit and was loved by all or something. Not really sure, but it's a romance movie and will be showing in the theatre today." Ethan said, scratching his hair.

"You're so sweet." Diana said, feeling her heart race.

Ethan felt bad again. Diana isn't acting natural with him like before. He didn't understand himself, but he really prefer her to ask why he's here and all like before. He prefers when she's free and speaks her mind.

The duo walked for a while and got to where Ethan parked his car. Getting inside; Diana was stunned when he suddenly pulled her into his arms.

She didn't resist and reached her arms around him as well. "Diana I'm sorry." he said.

Diana didn't understand what he meant by he's sorry when he hadn't done anything wrong. "For what?" she asked.

"I'm a jerk. I made my woman cry. I'm sorry for making you cry Diana." He apologized.

"No, I was the one at fault." Diana protest.

Pulling back and looking into her confused expression; Ethan placed a kiss at her temple and pulled back. "A real man shouldn't make her woman cry. You're not at fault as you were only doing your job. I went overboard with my jealousy, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me." He said.

Diana was at a loss for words. "Ethan." she could only managed to call his name, while her gaze still remain locked on his.

"Don't be careful around me. Please be yourself. I realize I fell in love with the woman you were before, not the one I wanted to force you to be. Make plenty of mistakes and let this jerk treasure it as a memory. Don't change." He said.

"You wouldn't get angry?" Diana asked, which broke Ethan's heart. He realizes his guesses were right; he really frightened her.

"Not anymore. I'd rather break the other's party's head than take my jealousy out on my woman. I'm promising you, so be yourself okay?" He said and used his hand to smoothed her bangs and leaned closer, "may I have a kiss?" he asked. "This shameless jerk wants a kiss please." he added.

"What the heck are you doing here? Didn't you promised not to send someone to protect me?" Diana screamed.

Ethan: "....."
