Chapter 033 - Death Wish ALTHEA.
I was about to turn around and look for Lucy or Patrea when Blade blocked my way.His arm snaked around my waist as he brought me to the dance floor.
My eyebrows hiked up as I scoffed softly.
"Don’t you have manners, Blade? It’s not polite to just grab a girl and force her to dance with you."
"I'd been polite for the last thirty minutes, Althea, restraining myself from growling and grabbing someone and killing the life out of him."
"You know the only reason I am not throwing you out is that I don’t want to make a scene and let everyone know things about my life."
"The only reason he hasn't broken any bones in his body is that I don't want to make a scene and ruin your birthday," he said.
"Thank you, and I appreciate that.But it still doesn’t change anything between us. I have a boyfriend, Blade."
"I know.I feel it every time," he said in a very cold voice.
So he felt it.But did he say every time? I only did it once.
"So tell me, why are you here? Is this the part where I am allowed to reject you now?"
"If I were your boyfriend, I would be engaged in a fistfight already if another man were holding you this tightly." He said this, ignoring my question.
His hold on my back tightened, pressing my body closer to his, but my hands were on his chest, creating a small gap between us.
Our bodies were so closed, and his hands on my waist were making butterflies and ladybugs swarm in my stomach.
If this lasts a bit longer, I might explode from all the tingles and static I am feeling at the moment.
"You're so little," he said before a smile tugged on his mouth as he stared at my face.
I rolled my eyes, trying to stop the smile from curling on my own lips.
Blade stood over six feet five inches tall while I was just five feet two inches, and with a body built like his, there was no denying I was too small in his arms.
"It'll be easier to carry you around and take you with me."
He added, and he was still smiling, something he never does often.He looked like a gentle giant.
"Are you flirting with me, Blade?"
"Maybe, maybe not...It depends on how your boyfriend will react.If he comes and offers a brawl, I will accept it so I can continue flirting with you."
"He’s a...He’s a peaceful man."
"I am too.Until provoked."
"I thought you wanted to talk? Say what you want and just leave Ashton out of all of this." I let out a sigh.
"So the boyfriend has a name.Ashton.Ugly name." He scoffed.
"As if Blade is a nice name." I retorted.
"Balderus."
