My mind fought my own ego, silently. My heart was racing like a vehicle. I was so nervous. Hazel's father was outside her bedroom and it was too late for me to go back in time. I was definitely in danger. I didn't care about the consequences, I just didn't want him to think that she broke up with Max because of me. I didn't want them to think the worst of me. Plus, I didn't want her parents to find out about my little game with her. I didn't want us to end this way. I wanted to keep fighting to make Hazel mine. I wanted to make sure that I was the man that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. I was the man, I was the one she needed. I wanted to prove to her that I was more than a player and a liar.

I was the man of her dreams.

Words couldn't explain how unlucky I felt when I heard her father's voice outside. He ruined everything, he took away her full attention and it was too late for my apologies. I just hated the fact that I didn't get to do anything when I was so ready to make my feelings spread all over her body. Life was selfish and unfair.

Hazel was in trouble because of me.

"I'll be there in a minute," Hazel yelled as she wore her red dress back. "Dad. Please, wait for me downstairs." his footsteps faded from a distance as I witnessed a total silence.

Just like that. He was already gone.

I was watching Hazel getting dressed and I was wondering if she forgave me or not. If my tongue passed her test just like last time. I didn't want to pressure her but at the same time, I wanted answers, I wanted her forgiveness. I didn't want to beg all over again. Hazel was worth it but I was getting tired of all these arguments and fights. I wanted a positive vibe. I wanted us to have a good time. I wanted her to be mine. I wanted to make love to her just like in the movies. I wanted to murder her body with my electric bomb penis.

.

What if I did have an electric penis? Maybe I do.

"Hawk? I think it's time for you to leave now." Hazel interrupted my thoughts as she massacred my mind with her selfish weapon. "We'll talk another time." Her words were understandable but selfish.

Another time? Hazel, I want it to be now.

"So that's it?" I pointed out, trying to show her how ridiculous the conversation was. "You're not going to forgive me?" I placed my hands behind my back as I waited for her unknown answer.

"Hawk," She said, snippily. "It doesn't work like that. You can't just seduce me and expect me to forgive you right away. It takes time to earn someone's trust and it's not always in the bedroom." She snapped, vaguely. "Do you even like me?"

Yes, Hazel. With all my heart.

"Why are you so..." I stopped mid-sentence. "Do you even have to ask? You do know that I'm trying my best to make you mine. Hazel, can you forgive me?" I begged, impatiently.

"You didn't answer my question." she implied, sympathetically.

"Yes, I do. Hazel." I admitted. "I swear if you give me one last chance to prove it to you, I'll try my best to show you how serious I am about you."

"Hawk." My name was contagious in her tone. "I understand where you're coming from but I don't think it's a good idea. I don't want to open up to someone and look dumb at the end. I liked you, yes, I can't deny it but I really don't feel anything for you anymore. It was the past and my mind was playing tricks."

Her sharp words cut me off deeply. I was the only one who was falling in love. I was the only one who felt it. I was the only one who was fighting to gain our connection. Hazel was lying. I felt her feelings towards our kiss. She was kissing me like there was no tomorrow. She was feeling me. She liked me and I didn't know why she didn't want to admit the truth and forgive me.

She was a bad liar but her words were deeper than the ocean.

Liking someone is normal and fair but knowing that this person could never like you back is the worst.

Hazel was playing with my mind and there was nothing possible between us. She made it clear. Maybe she was kissing me back because she felt bad. Maybe she was living in the moment and she wanted me to make her feel good.

Maybe.

Maybe there was no chance for me. Maybe my mistakes were unforgivable in her angel eyes. Maybe I wasn't the one for her. Maybe Hazel enjoyed hurting me.

Maybe, Hazel. Maybe.

"Were your lips playing tricks too?" I stopped and looked at Hazel, embarrassed and unsure of myself. "If you can say that then maybe your body is a magician." I made my point by reminding her how she was ready to ride me like a little horse. "Playing tricks all day."

"What do you want?" She asked, annoyed.

"I just want you to tell me the truth, Hazel." I quickly clarified. "Why are you lying when you know that I actually like you? Why are you doing this to me, Hazel? Why are you trying to break my heart?" I made some steps towards her. "Why do you make me so weak whenever I'm around you?"

"It's your problem." She said, vaguely. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have important matters to attend to."

"I'm willing to give my heart a chance to love someone but you don't want it. Why?" I stopped her from leaving. "Don't you want me?" I asked, desperately.

"Isn't it obvious?" She declared. "I just don't want to be with you. You're trouble and I don't want you to play me and treat me like..."

"I want you, Hazel." I cut her off completely. "Do you want to be mine?"

"I have to go." She denied my question as she tried to walk away.

"Don't you dare walk away when I'm talking to you?" I grabbed her by the arm as I pulled her body against mine. "How dare you?" I grabbed her face and pulled her lips, passionately.

Her lips tasted like fresh anger. Her mind was navigating through Heaven. She was kissing me back. It was too late, I was already falling for her. She was the one I wanted. Her sweet lips were the only lips I wanted to taste. I didn't want anybody else.

.

"Stop doing that." She pushed me away, suddenly. "I don't want you to like me. I want you to stay away from me. I'm tired of your kisses, I'm tired."

"You're a bad liar." I chuckled, amusingly. "You're so cute though," I whispered in an adorable tone.

"Hawk, I have a visitor. We'll talk tomorrow morning." She confirmed, immediately.

"Did you invite Max over?" My voice burned with jealousy. "Is he the visitor?"

"God, no." Her tone was honest and pale. "Are you jealous?"

"No. I'm not jealous." I quickly lied. "I just don't want you near this imbecile. He doesn't deserve you, Hazel."

"I don't want him to be in my life anymore, I'm done with him. That's for sure." I was happy to hear these words coming from her. She was over him and I was ready to step up. I was ready to make her mine even though it was hard to catch Hazel's heart.

"Hazel." I got on my knees. I curved her right hand as if I was ready to propose. "Do you want to ..."

"No, no, no," She said, rapidly. "I don't want to marry you." The look on her face. She was scared.

"Damn, Haz." I laughed. "Can you at least let me finish?" The amusement in her reaction was turning me on.

"Hawk, are you crazy?" She chuckled.

"Hazel Brown? Would you like to be my girlfriend?" I asked, nervously. "I will make you breakfast in bed. I'll make you tea when you're sick, I'll make your bed in the morning, I'll protect you, I'll make you forget all the bad things. I'll cherish you and make love to you as If we were in Titanic but this time, there's a catch." I stood up as I whispered in her ear. "We'll die together."

We both laughed.

Corny! I know I was but it was working though.

.

"Oh, Hawk." She chuckled, amusingly. "I hate you for that." That was a good sign. She was feeling me.

"So," I bit her ear, hungrily as I whispered. "Is that a yes?"

"Okay, my answer is..."

I waited. It was about to go down.

"Max? Stay away from my girlfriend." I punched him as blood greeted his nose, rapidly. "Hazel is mine."

Hazel was speechless. I didn't know what to think anymore. Last time, Hazel was on his side when I punched him straight in the face. He was disrespecting my dad and she didn't care.

I was unsure of what was going to happen next? I was scared. I didn't want her to hate me.

Forgive me, I couldn't help it, Hazel.
