《Stuck with the Male Lead》30 Are you happy?

Daisy's Pov

The question and answer session continued up until the dinner ended. Aunt Olivia and mom kept asking questions to Micah. Their questions sometimes were so rediculous that I felt shameful.

You know the feeling you get when you go to market with your mom and aunt and they start to bargain with the shopkeeper asking 1000$ goods for 500$, you feel so shameful that you try to hide yourself from people. I bet there is no person who haven't experienced this utterly humiliating situation.

I think Micah is going to fail, 'cause Ethan did not show any change at all. He was like it doesn't bothers him at all. I was a little , just a little anticipating to see him jealous. But to no avial I was disappointed.

But on a different note why am I even disappointed? I will win the bet right?

But I really was expecting it.

Finally when the dinner ended I breathed a sigh of relief or else I would have died of humiliation. Mom and dad said their goodbye and went home followed by Uncle Max and Aunt Olive.

I stood waiting for Micah to retrieve the car . Ethan stood beside me waiting for his driver.

I didn't know what to say to him. There was a uncharacteristic nervousness I was feeling standing beside him, faint scent of his cologne engulfed me.

" Are you happy?" I suddenly heard him ask in a resigned tone. His voice in the silent dark night resonated deep within my mind.

Happy about what? I asked myself.

What was I expecting? I wanted to hear something from him. But did not know what exactly I wanted. This feeling was frustrating, like it was nagging me to acknowledge it, to work on it , but I couldn't do it. I was confused, utterly and miserably confused.

" Are you happy being with him?" he asked again when I did not answer.

I looked at the dark sky which was covered with the blanked of bright stars, millions and millions of stars brightening the dark night.

" I will be" I whispered.

Maybe I will be after the outcome of this bet. It will end at last. When I win at the end I will be satisfied, right?

" Are you happy with me staying away from you?" he looked into my eyes with his blue one's. Like always I found myself unable to look away from them, they were captivating and beautiful, more beautiful that the sky full of stars.

I found my words stuck into my throat.

" Are you happy?" he asked again, there was slight expectation in his tone and a little bit of dispair.

The slight dispair in his voice made my heart turn a mess. Was he giving up? Just like that.

Am I wrong to think about future and neglect my present? Am I wrong to think that if suddenly I disappear from this world, I would leave him alone?

But do I want to go back?

Do I want to return to the world with no one for me?

Do I want to?

No..

The sudden realization petrified me. I did not wanted to go back. Not where I won't have mom and dad. Even though Elijah Williams and Ava are are not my real parents but I didn't wanted to leave them. I wanted to be greedy...just for once. Greedy for warmth, love and greedy for him.

Yes, I wanted to be greedy for him. I realized.

Chase your stars, fool. Life is short. I read somewhere, it was time to take it seriously.

Now that I have a second chance to live, should I abondon it just like that? Should I turn back and live a alone and cold life?

No....

That was my cue.

I moved a step forward shortning the distance between us. He widened his eyes when I moved even more closer. His breathing turned uneven and laboured. I waited for him to push me away but he didn't.

I held the collar of his shirt making him freeze.

" What..." he tried to say.

" Shh..." I whispered silencing him. His hot breathe hit my face, making me giddy. My face was inches away from his. He was looking at me, waiting for me to say. His body was tensed. We were too close, so much that I felt warmth from him. It tingled my skin.

Now or never.

I stood on my tiptoes and kissed him, catching him offgaurd.

He turned stiff and his eyes widened with surprise.

His lips were warm and soft just like I imagined. I parted my lips and kissed him giving few small pecks.

After recovering from his surprised state, he closed his eyes and snaked his around me, kissing me back. He lips moved against mine passionately making me dizzy. He tightened his arms around me pulling me incredibly closer. I moved my arms around his neck pressing myself closer to him. I tangled my hands with his hair, slightly playing with them making him groan against my lips.

He suddenly hoisted me up making me stand on his feet. I gasped at the sudden move clutching his neck tightly. He kissed me hard and senseless

After a few seconds we pulled back, gasping for air. I was breathing hard and deep. I opened my eyes to find him looking at me with deep eyes which were filled with desire.

" Why?" he huskily whispered leaning his forehead on mine our noses touching.

I looked into his blue eyes smiling," I wanted to"

Before he could say anything we heard a loud screech," OH MY FUCKING HELL"

We both flinched at the sudden voice, I looked towards the direction of voice to find Micah with his eyes wide and mouth wide open.

" Daisy you cheater" he shouted dramatically holding his heart.

I rolled my eyes at him moving slightly away from Ethan.

Ethan looked hurt as if I used him and threw him away.

" Look I don't want to do this anymore" I said to Micah.

He looked at me then at Ethan as if pitiful wife looking at her cheating husband and his mistress.

" You...you... are you abandoning me-your wife for a mistress?" he cried, but a arc of his raised lips gave him away.

" I like the mistress more" I held Ethan's hand making him look at me with wide eyes.

" How can you..do that to me?" he fake cried and hit his heart dramatically.

" What? I will divorce you" I said rolling my eyes at him.

" No, I won't accept this. I won't accept it so easily" he shouted.

" What do you want? Alimony?" I raised my eyebrow at him.

" No, Do you think I lack money?" he asked pouting.

I stared at him," Then?"

He suddenly smiled and winked at me," I want to be the god father of your child"

Ethan was shoked silly by the sudden change of events. He looked at me then at Micah.

" What's going on?" Ethan asked looking between us.

Micah smiled sheepishly," I am not her boyfriend. I am just a fake boyfried"

Ethan looked at him bewildered and then looked at me, I nodded.

" Why? How?" Ethan said clearly confused.

" You see we had a bet that you like her or not. I said you liked her and she said no. So I decided to be her fake boyfriend to make you jealous" Micah explained.

" Huh?" Ethan widened his eyes," Then why did she..."

" Who would have thought she would be such a sore loser and kiss you?" Micah glanced at me disgusted.

" What? It was not my fault okay, he was looking too damn sexy so I kissed him" I shrugged my shoulder innocently. Ethan whipped his head towards me so fast that I thought he will have a fracture.

" I suddenly had a overwhelming feeling so I kissed you." I said smiling at him sheepishly.

" Oh my god I don't want to watch a live PDA. I am going back" Micah shuddered and walked away making a disgusted face.

I looked at Ethan to find him looking at me dazed.

" What are you rejecting me or what? You better bear the responsibility" I narrowed my eyes at him.

" I should bear the responsibility?" he asked taking a step forward.

" Yes. Because of you I abandoned my wife, you as a mistress should take the responsibility." I took a step back.

" So you like me 'a mistress', huh?" he smiled teasing.

" Who said I liked you? You are too confident"I arrogantly said and tried take a step back but before I could do so he snaked his arms around pulling me to his chest and hugged me burying his head in my neck.

I felt him smile against my neck," It doesn't matter if you like me or not. Because I like you, I like you very, very much."

I stilled in his arms, I just wanted to be with him. But did not expect him to really like me.

Feeling me become stiff he leaned out of my neck and looked at my face," What? You did not know that I like you?"

I looked at him without blinking, his arms were around me holding me into his embrace.

I really did not know , okay.

He looked at me as if I was mad," You really did not know?"

I shook my head in denial," No, you never told me"

" Are you stupid? Then why did you kiss me?" he asked angrily.

" Because I wanted to" I replied in a small voice.

" What if I didn't like you and pushed you away?"

" Then I would have locked you up and tortured you until you liked me." I determinedly said.

He chuckled and hugged me, " That wouldn't have happened, because I already like you."
