Chapter 9 Cold shower
 THIRD PERSON POV

“That’s not funny!” Terrence said we both stood up in shock, written all over our faces. “You are out of your mind?!” He shouts. “Are you okay?” He asks as he looks at Maelis with worry.
“Y-yeah, I’m fine,” I said and fixed myself.

“If I remember it right, I never asked you to come here,” Lucien said as his one eyebrow raised at us.

“Maybe I should give you guys some privacy,” She said and quickly walked away from Terrence, but as Maelis was about to pass by Lucien, he grabbed my arm, and he made her stop as she felt his hand touch her skin.

“W-what?” She asked, and Maelis felt like my throat was closing as she tried to speak.

“My room, we need to talk.” He said with authority in this voice that made me gulp.

“Su-sure.” She said and faked a smile. Maelis pressed my eyes closed as I walked away from him.

Maelis blows a loud breath as she enters the room. She peeks through the door to see if someone is outside. She confirmed that there was no one she quickly locked it, and tried to look around the room for her phone.

“Where did that fucker hide it?” She murmured to herself as search the place, checking every drawer and under the mattress. Maelis felt like her heart skipped when she saw a phone on the top of a shelf. “Finally.” She uttered as she reached it.

She felt so relieved as she tried to open it, but as much as she tried to turn it on, it wouldn’t budge.

“Looking for this?” A voice from behind said that made her jump in her place. “Do you think I’m that stupid?” He said as he walked towards her with her phone in his hand, Maelis couldn’t describe what she was feeling as Lucien walked towards her.

“I…I was…” She tried to think of an excuse but couldn’t, felt like Lucien coming close to her breath, slowly getting hard.
“Do you really think I’ll let you off that easy?” Lucien said as she stared directly into her eyes. He grabs the phone from Maelis's hand and throws it somewhere in the room.

Maelis moved her hand so fast and tried to grab her phone from Lucien’s hand. But Lucien smirked as he caught her wrist.

“Let me go,” she said as she tried to free herself from his grip. But Lucien just smirked, raising from the corner of his lips as he also caught her other wrist, grabbing both of her wrists in one hand and pressing her against the wall. “I just…just need to call someone,” Maelis said as she looked at his eyes.

Maelis could smell Lucien as their distance was just a few inches away, her eyes looked so lost looking at him, and as her eyes fell on his lips.

‘Fuck it, Maelis, what the hell are you doing now?!’

“Who? Your boyfriend? Terrence?” He said as his face darkened. Maelis couldn’t help but smirk at his face.

“Are you jealous now?” She jokes, trying as she tries to get her wrist out of his grip. “I didn’t expect to be that kind.” She added, trying to mock him as she tried to get her face close to his.

“Too bad, I’m that kind.” He said and moved his face closer to hers, making her eyes widen in shock. “Should I show you what else I am?” He said as his eyes looked at her eyes and her lips.

“Lu…Lucien…” She stuttered as she sounded out of breath, nearly sounding like a moan.

Lucien could smell the mint on Maelis's breath. Maelis felt like her heart was about to jumpout of her chest. She felt electricity coursing through her as she tried to avoid his.

‘Control Maelis, don’t do something stupid now.’ She said to herself as she pressed her eyes close.

“Don't say my name like that. I might not be able to control myself.” She said that stunned her and made her look at him.

“S-sorry,” she uttered and swallowed.

‘Sorry? Why the fuck would you apologize? Stupid!’ Maelis

“Get dressed, you're going somewhere,” Lucien said as she let go of her and turned his back on her.

“I… I don’t have any clothes here.” She spoke.

“It’s in the other room,” He shortly replied.

“O…kay.” She answered. “Where are we---” She tried to ask as she was leaving.

“Out now!” He shouted that made her leave the room immediately.

“Fuck!” Lucien cursed, “Damn it!” He said as he unbuttons his shirt and goes inside the bathroom and stands under the cold shower. “I’m fucked.”

MAELIS IS looking at the dress on the bed. She tilts her head as she grabs a blue dress, then shakes her head. She grabs the Beige one and looks at herself in the mirror, trying to Invision herself in it.

“Why are you even being too picky? Who are you trying to impress?” She asks herself as she looks at the mirror. “Wake up, Maelis,” She uttered to herself when a pair of knocks was heard on her door.

“Ma’am, here is the other dress. The delivery just goes delayed.” The man said,
“Oh, thanks.” She said and took it.

Maelis quickly took it out and saw a blood-red dress that was almost see-through on the other side of the legs and a high slit on the other, and the center had the darker color of the dress and a layer of cloth, making a silhouette with a V-line neck with a strap drop down on the shoulder.

“Huh, well, I look good in red.”

Lucien is sitting inside his car waiting for Maelis when his phone rings. As he was about to answer i,t the door of the car opened.

“What took you so long?” He asks her to raise an eyebrow at her with a glare. “And what are you wearing? You’re making me think I must kill the person I ask to buy you clothes.” He added that made Maelis chuckle.

“It’s just for layer, it's cold. I’ll take this coat off later.” She answered. “Where are we even going?” She asks.

“To my father’s party.” He answers that made Maelis eyes widen and jaw drop.

“To where?” She asks in shock,

“I can’t let a woman stay in my place without introducing her to my father, right?” He said with a smirk on the corner of his lips. “Why, are you scared? Don’t worry your just meeting your father-in-law, no big deal."
