Chapter 44: Chapter 44

Romeo spoke.

"What a pervert!" I muttered under my breath, as the corners of my mouth curled upwards.

Something in me told me he would say something and he talked.

My plan to make him speak worked. It felt like I've already achieved a lot. Well, it was worth an achievement.

I chewed on my bottom lip. I suddenly felt shy with the way he was staring intensely at me. His bright green eyes were digging holes into my body. I hope he wasn't expecting me to strip. I was just messing around with him, I didn't mean what I said.

"Romeo," I said, breaking the uncomfortable silence. "I am sorry."

Romeo didn't say anything, his eyes were still piercing into mine. I knew he was paying attention to my words, he just chose not to reply.

I didn't know what to do. Should I strip? He might even decide not to say anything, even after I strip. That would be a useless plan.

My lips began to tremble."Romeo, please respond," I pleaded.

My hands tightened into fists. If this was a torture or punishment, he should stop it already. This was becoming frustrating and annoying. I needed to talk to him.

I wanted to get pissed off too and leave him. But then, I didn't want to lose him.

It was obvious that I am going to lose my boyfriend if I step out of his door.

I cleared my throat, my eyes narrowed at him. "This is not fair. This is fûcking unfair. What the hell do you want? I'm sorry. How many times will I say it? I am sorry for hitting you on the face. You've done a lot of stupid things too. I'm not the only one wrong here. You should - "

Romeo cut short my words."Maybe you should strip first." He blurted out, crossing his arms over his chest.

I noticed the little smile which appeared on his face. It didn't stay for so long though. What was funny? I was expressing my feelings here and he had a smile on his face. Did I sound funny?

I threw him a deadly glare."You want me to strip, right? I am going to do that now." I yelled.

With a final glance at him, I began to unbutton my shirt. I undid the buttons and the shirt fell on the floor. I was standing in front of him just putting on a bra and a short skirt.

I looked up. A flush crept up my face as his eyes met mine. Romeo had a blank look on his face. I felt somewhat disappointed. He was not impressed by my body. I thought he would say something, probably a compliment or something. But, I didn't get anything from him.

My eyelids dropped. I didn't look hot enough to get a compliment from him. I swallowed a gulp down my throat. Why the heck did I undress? What was I thinking?

I picked up my shirt from the floor. I was about to wear it when a husky voice stopped me.

"Don't." Romeo ordered.

"You don't tell me what to do." I retorted, without even sparing him a glance.

I was about to button up my shirt when I felt his presence in front of me.

"W. What do you w.. want?" I stuttered.

I was in shock. I didn't know when he got up from the couch and walked to me.

My fingers were already sweating. I hated to admit that I was already nervous. I didn't know if it was because of his touch or the fact that he was standing so close to me.

"I should be asking you the same question." Romeo uttered. "What do you want from me? What are you doing in my house? What the fuck are you doing? "

His hands left my fingers. I watched as he shoved his hands into his pocket.

"I want you." I replied to him.

Romeo nibbled on his bottom lip, nothing came out of his mouth.

I decided to seize the opportunity since he was standing so close to me. I didn't bother to wear my shirt anymore. I just buried my head in his chest, hugging him so tightly. My breasts were touching his chest. I wasn't bothered with the fact that I was only putting on a bra and a skirt.

Romeo didn't hug back. I was glad he didn't push me away. That was a good start.

"I am sorry. I am so sorry. I made a fûcking mistake. I shouldn't have slapped you. Please forgive me, Romeo. I have missed you and I really want you. Don't leave me. You can punish me but don't stop talking to me. I don't think I can't live without you. " I sobbed, my head was still placed on his chest.

Silence reigned in the living room for a while. Not that I was waiting for him to say something, I just wanted to stay in that position. I have missed his body warmth. The familiar smell of his cologne was filling my nose deeply.

My mouth fell open when I felt his hands wrapped around my waist.

Romeo hugged me. Romeo freaking Sparks hugged me back. I almost screamed in excitement. It was as if I won a lottery.

"Ivy, can we talk?" Romeo's deep and low voice resounded in my head.

I raised my head from his chest, looking into his eyes. "Sure, we can talk." I replied to him.

Romeo broke the hug. He led the way and both of us walked towards the couch.

"First of all, I didn't sleep with Charlotte when we were dating. I would never cheat on you, I told you that. I had sex with her before we started dating." Romeo told me, after we sat on the couch.

"What were you doing with her that day?" I questioned him.

Romeo raked his hands through his hair. "Her nude photos got leaked. I had to help her with that shit. She is my friend, Ivy." He said.

I gave a mirthless laugh. I tried to help it but I could not. I was already jealous.

"So, you had sex with a friend." I muttered.

Romeo groaned."Don't make this so hard."

I lifted an eyebrow. "Can I ask you a question?"

I didn't wait for a response, before asking him. "Are you addicted to sex?" I probed.

His brows furrowed. "That question was so unnecessary. I am not addicted to sex. When was the last time I had sex?"

"The question was necessary. Funny how my boyfriend had slept with most if not all of the girls in school." I blurted out.

Romeo frowned. "Fuck! Don't do this, Ivy. We are talking now, don't mess it up."

I let out a hiss."Did I lie? Have you not slept with almost all the girls in school?"

I continued. "I am a virgin but my boyfriend - "

"That is it. Let's break up, Ivy." Romeo barked at me.
