Chapter 19
Hailey POV
We quickly reached Killian’s house. I missed this place so much, it’s been several weeks since I left here.
Today I still don’t understand why Killian just says that about hus friend. I know Premiere confess his admiration towards me, he said that a few days ago.
I know Premiere, they are childhood friends with Vaugh and I also know their habits especially Premiere who is also famous and she know that the guy is a womanizer. But when you have time to talk and bond with him, you can say that he is kind.
He loves to compete especially with Killian but that doesn’t mean they are enemies. Even so their friendship remains strong.
“What are you waiting for? Why are you still standing there and not coming in?” Killian’s said as he was in the middle of her meditation
I couldn’t help but stare at his handsome face.
“What’s with the look? I know I’m handsome.” He added
I immediately slapped him on the shoulder. “You are so confident in yourself,” I joked
When we entered his house I sat in his living room. “W-what are we going to talk about? How important is that and do we still need to talk here? I asked
“I have something to tell you Hailey, I should have told you this for a long time but I don’t have the courage and also because of the agreement we have.”
I frowned because he said I couldn’t understand. “W-what do you mean?” I wondered
He sat down next to me and held my hands. I don’t know what the reaction should I feel.
“I’ve always felt this way. I can’t just say because maybe I’m just used to your presence, but as time goes on, I’m able to prove how I feel. Since meeting and being with you in the same house, I’ve changed a lot, especially when it comes to you. “Hailey, I love you.” it was straightforward, which surprised me
I let go of his grip. “Maybe you’re just mistaken Killian, like you said you’re used to us being together.” I said even though the truth was that I was happy with his confession
“I’m not Hailey! I’ve been thinking about it for a few days. Even Vaugh knows about it, I’ve been in love with you for a long time. I just can’t be admit it. I just realized it since our agreement ended. I miss you, the whole of you. ”
“I don’t know what will be my reaction to your confession.” I admitted
“You don’t have to answer now, just give me a chance to prove myself to you. Not a fake one but a real one.” He seriously saidPlease check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“Honestly I like you.” I said startling him. “No, I think I love you for a long time Killian but I tried to avoid it because I know we can’t be together. We have a different state in life.” I honestly said to him
“You mean you love me too?” I nodded at him.
“What state are you talking about? You came from a Dominique family.” He added
“That’s right I came from a Dominique but I haven’t proven anything Killian not like you, you have a lot achievements in life.” I said
He smiled, which surprised me. “There’s still a lot of time for you to do all the things you need to and to achieve your goals in life. Let me help and accompany you in reaching your dream. I know sooner you will become a succesful woman,” He reassured.
Suddenly something touched my heart when he said that word. I’m happy to have someone who believes in my ability.
“So Hailey Dominique can you be my girlfriend?” He asked me while holding my hand.
“Wait, girlfriend? You didn’t even court me. You must be too fast, Mr. Neilsen.” he laughed at what I said
“Is it still necessary? I know you’ll answer me too so why take longer?” He said raising an eyebrow at me
“Of course, what do you think of me like your other women that will always say yes to you? Psh!” I hissed
He immediately hugged me. “Even if I court you every day, it’s okay with me.”
I almost screamed because of the actions of Killian. I never thought that this day would come that the person I love would love me too.
Our hug lasted about a minute before Killian let go.
“And one more thing I have an offer to you. And I don’t take no for an answer.”
“What’s is it this time? I asked
He stand up and I followed him. It takes how many seconds before he spoke again.
“Resign in your work.” He directly said
“W-what? Are you serious about it? You know I need to work for my daily needs.”
“I know, that’s why I am offering you a new job. With my company.” He said
“Are you crazy? You know I’m just graduating and have no experience yet.”
“You will graduat this year so you can work for my company.” he replied
Knowing Killian this guy isn’t really going to lose. Anything else I say he has a reward back.
“I’ll think about it first, it’s embarrassing to my boss.” I fired back
“I can talk to my auntie about it but before that I need an answer. You still didn’t answer to any of may question.”
“You said earlier that I don’t have to answer what you’re saying right away. Then now you’re going to complain here,” I said.
He immediately hugged me again.
“I miss you Hailey, can you live here again?” he asked
“You are crazy. Our contract has been over for a long time,” I insisted
“We had our fake marriage back then, unlike now which is true.”
“Even though it’s true now that you will court me, is there still a difference because we’re not married yet,” I said
“If that so then let’s get married right now.” he exclaimed, so I immediately hit him
“What are you thinking? Marriage is not a joke you idiot! There is a right time for that.”
I saw him smile. “You said we’re not married yet so you won’t come home here. So I suggest we get married so you can come back here again.” He said seriously
“I don’t know what’s going on in your silly mind. I’ll just cook for you,” I got up and went to the kitchen to cook.
“Alright! I missed your cooking, but I’ll take a shower first.” He said
I just nodded in response. “You don’t want to come with me?” he added while smiling
“Stop it Killian don’t be naughty. Take a bath now. I’ll cook I’ll cook so that we can eat after your shower.” I said and started arranging my cooking needs while he go straight to his room.
I feel so much happiness now, because I finally don’t have to hide how I really feel for Killian.
