Chapter 6: Chapter 6

I felt pain in my wrist from Sean’s grip. When we got to the side of his car, Sean jerked my wrist.

“Why didn’t you answer my phone?” he asked with a scary expression, I lowered my face not daring to look at him, he was terrible when he was angry.

“ANSWER, ARIANA!!” he snapped which made my body also shake from being surprised by his screams, I don’t like being yelled at like this.

“S-so-rry, I-I-“ My tears started to squeeze out, I know it’s my fault but can he not yell at me like this? Here?

Sean gripped my jaw then forced me to look at him, tears welling up in my eyes when I looked at him. Unexpectedly, Sean released his grip on my jaw then turned around and hit the car body hard, I was surprised again. The next second I was in his arms, it made me confused, Sean gently stroked my head.

“Sorry, I just don’t like it when you don’t answer my phone, I’m worried about you,” she whispered which made my heart flutter, after the feeling of fear that I felt lessened, Sean broke his embrace then he cupped my cheeks and lifted my face, then his red lips kissed me, I replied the kiss was so intoxicating that we finally had to end it due to running out of oxygen.

Sean looked at me, then wiped the rest of my tears with his thumb.

“I’d go crazy when I’m worried, Ariana,” he whispers, and I’m lost again in his golden net. My heart beats like a drum when I’m about to go to war, that strange feeling overwhelms me.

“Sorry.” That’s all I can say, then he kisses my forehead softly and I’m like melting ice.

Silence fell over us on our way to a jewelry store. We’re about to measure wedding rings, my mind is like a pile of paper, there’s a lot piled up for me to think back.

“Sorry for not coming to your single launch.” Sean broke the silence between us, I turned my gaze to him then smiled.

“It’s okay,” I replied.

“We should celebrate that,” he said again, I looked at him confused, Sean smiled then glanced at me.

“We have to celebrate your single success, where do you want to celebrate it?” He seemed enthusiastic, and I was a little swayed by his enthusiasm.

I didn’t expect him to care about this, didn’t he yesterday wanted me to quit the world that raised my name? Then, why does he want to celebrate my single success? Doesn’t he like this??

“It’s up to you, usually I just eat with the crew in management and my friends.” I remember celebrating my first single, Caroline and Jessica getting drunk and acting like crazy, fucked up nights.

“Are you celebrating with your male friends too?”

I nodded and saw the change in expression on his face, what’s up with him? Did I misspoke?

“Then let’s celebrate this alone without your friends.” His tone was cold.

“Why? Isn’t crowd better?”

“I don’t want what happened to you being almost kissed by your boyfriend again.”

I was shocked to hear what he just said, he knew about the incident that almost happened between me and Edward.

“Do you know??” I asked surprised and curious.

“I saw it in the media, he almost kissed you but you pushed him, a wise choice,” he complimented while showing off his charming smirk. I looked unsure of the answer, but maybe it was just my feeling.

“Why didn’t you push me when I kissed you? Like you did to that friend of yours?”

Is he setting me up now? Or does he want to embarrass me?? I shrugged.

“Because I want to,” I answered honestly, better to be honest than I had to be bombarded with questions, hoping that with my honesty he would stop asking questions that I’m embarrassed to ask.

“So you want to be kissed by me?”

I sighed with regret, I threw my back on the car seat resignedly while folding my arms in front of my chest. Great! I was wrong for being honest with him.

“Is that a problem for you?” I want to know.

“A little bit, you look cheap.”

I turned and looked at him in disbelief, then gave him a hard smack on one of his arms, Sean chuckled, I snorted at his reaction.

“Besides, if I refused, you wouldn’t like it,” I said again.

“You haven’t tried it yet,” he said with a half-smile and defiantly, as if this were going to be interesting.

All right, I give up. I raised my hands up to my chest.

“Okay, I’ll reject you if you’re going to kiss me later.” I said that with a bit of intention in me to keep it.

“We will see later.”

I rolled my eyes hearing his very high self-confidence. Actually, what kind of man am I dealing with right now? Why can he be so sweet and annoying at the same time? Do all men act like this? I get dizzy just thinking about it.
