UNDER THE RAIN OF LOVE : CHAPTER 1 – 10
By Melody
Chapter 6
Amy was about to step away when she noticed Xan firm hand on her wrist, stopping her. She turned and stared up at him.
His face was melting with the drops of rain. His dark hair had fell and spreaded down on his jawline.
He really looked like a certain fantasy god which she could only gulp and just blink at.
“You don’t have to be under the rain or you might get a cold” He finally said, staring at her eyes.
He looked away from her, picking up his umbrella and amy frantically stared at it.
He studded it open and raised it above their heads before pulling her closer.
Amy chuckled, resting her cheeks on his stomach moulds. Such a caring Icy king, she thought.
As they approached the balcony xan halted to a stop again, causing a quirky stare from amy.
“Hey. Let’s go in. Are you scared?” She asked, standing a feet apart, under the rain.
Xan stared at the glass window for a while before looking back at her.
“Is your parents around?” He asked.
“Huh?. My parents don’t live here. But i have a friend…a close one” she replied.
“A boy?” He rushed to ask.
“Haha. Not a boy, silly. Come in, you’ll see her.” She said taking off her shoes.
Xan sighed and stepped forward. He assumed the friend she was talking about was probably one of her girl friends.
He placed the umbrella on the balcony and stared out for a while. The rain was pretty heavy and there was no sign of it ending soon.
He tugged his hair tight, making the rest of the rain drops melt on his face.
He brought out his phone and sent a text message to sean.
“Hey!. You are still outside!.” Amy yelled, leaning out the door.
She ran out and pulled his long arms before taking him into her home.
“Welcome to my little fairy house” Amy said, twirling around like a fairy herself.
Xan stared at the wide, dull room. It was almost empty except for the few furniture fitting in one space or the other.
He walked slowly down the room. They was an aquarium on her television stand. There was also a family picture on the wall.
He had never seen such a home as cool and heavenly as this. It was very warm inside and the light were specially dimmed.
He was lost looking around and marvelling on the simple taste of the house not noticing the dog on his feet.
“Whoff!. Whoff!” pink barked.
Xan almost jumped up after being frightened.
“What’s this!!” Xan muttered, with a big frown on his face.
“Oh. This is pink, the friend I was talking about.” Amy smiled, stepping forward.
Xan sighed, dropping both his arm.
“You could have said it was a dog” He said tiredly. He felt pink on his leg again and he immediately shifted back.
“Take this thing away. I’m not a friend of dogs!” Xan yelled.
” Awn. But she likes you!” Amy said, pouting her lips cutely.
“I’m allergic to dogs!. Shh…get away. Get lost!” Xan yelled, kicking his feet away.
Amy covered her lips, laughing hard. She wished she could watch this scene all day.
She never believed xan could be so cute around dogs. He looked like a toddler trying his effort to push his fears away.
How can the Oh- so mighty CEO be scared of dogs. It was almost a big sIap on the face.
“Hey!. Stop standing there staring at my foolish display and come pick your ‘dog’ off me!” Xan yelled, leaning his back against a wall.
Amy picked pink from the floor and turned to laugh at xan again.
“What other animals are scared of…tell me mr CEO?” She laughed.
Xan shot a deadly gaze at her and she quickly hung her excitement to her throat.
She brought up a large white towel and gave it to him before stepping aside.
Xan stared at the strange large cloth with his brow left up.
“You can use that to dry yourself. Just give me some minute, I’ll be upstairs changing, okay?”
“Sure” He replied and amy left, running towards the direction to her room.
Xan covered up his body with the towel and began to take a short stroll around the livingroom.
He went towards the picture stand and picked up the albums.
He noticed a young man in glasses was sitting next to a slim lady in short bun hair that curved over her chin.
They were both smiling widely with their little daughter kid.
But then, he stared at the little baby they were carrying. From the big head and eyes, he already guessed it was amy.
He rested his back to the wall and focused more on her. He wondered why her eyes were streaming like there were stars in them.
She was holding up a lollipop in her little arm. He held his chin and throated a chuckle.
He knew she used to be a big foodie from time. He dropped the protrait to check out her other pictures as well.
Soon, he heard a flipflop slipper come by. He quickly arranged back the pictures and cunningly moved away, like he never did anything.
Amy stepped out in full view, stopping to look at him for a while.
She smiled.
“Oh dear. You seem very wet and cold.” She said dropping the big heavy blanket she was carrying.
Xan saw that her her hair was wet and it had slipped down her cheeks. Her skin had also turned very light and smoother than earlier.
He sat at the edge of the sofa handrest, staring at her with lazy eyes.
“Hahh..” Amy wiped the invisible sweat from her forehead before kneeling to the ground to prepare the bed.
Xan pocketed his arm, staring down at her amusingly.
He realised she wasn’t wearing her work uniform any longer, but a random gown that brought out that unique cuteness outta her.
After preparing the blanket, she stretched out her short arm. Xan stared the armless jersey with her.
“This is the only cloth I have that could fit into your body. You can change into this for now.” She told him.
Xan took the cloth and sighed loudly.
“I’ll soon go home now, amy. I don’t know why you are making this nice arrangement.”
Amy lips outturned into a sad pout.
“But the rain is still heavy outside. I won’t let you go until the rain stops. So quickly…pull in those jersey and let’s lay here” She said, tapping the space next to her.
Xan silently nodded and stared out the window again, he would probably stay for a while even though sean will be here any minute.
He began to tack off his shirt buttons, staring up at the roof in awe.
He never believed he could stay up in someone’s house before…especially a girl.
Well, he believed it was the cause of the rain. Funnily, the rain had intention towards them too.
He raised down his chin, slowly pulling off his shirt while revealing his hard tone chest and yummy abs.
He stared at amy again and he found out that she was already laying flat on the ground.
He quickly wore the jersey and joined amy on the blanket, placing his arm to support his head.
“What do we do now?” Amy asked, hugging a pillow while staring up at the roof.
“I think staring at the roof is very relaxing.” Xan replied, smiling keenly.
“I really enjoyed my first day at work. It was filled it with drama” She said, giggling.
“I think I really hated the part you compared Vixen to me and the part he had to hug you.” Xan muttered.
“Are you jealous because of that?” She asked, still gazing at the roof.
“I wasn’t jealous. I think I was mad…I was very crazy then.” He replied.
“What made Vixen dangerous…tell me?” Amy asked, turning to lay on one side as she stared at him.
“I don’t like the part now that you want me to talk about him alone. Let’s talk about something else.” He said.
Amy layed flat again, staring up at the roof while hugging tight to her pillow.
“Doesn’t it seem awkward that we are sleeping next to eachother like this…I mean…you are my boss and I’m just…”
“To me, I feel very comfortable with you here. I think you smell like candy.” He laughed.
“Hey!!” Amy pushed his arm and crossed it over her chest angrily.
Xan smiled again, turning his head to stare at her.
“What of you, don’t tell me you aren’t happy seeing me here” he grinned.
She turned her head to stare at his eyes, with a very stunned face.
She just realised it, she just realised she didn’t want him to go.
Even if the rain had to stop, she had the mindset to poison him with a sleep drug. She don’t know what was happening to her body any longer.
She just wanted to be close to him and have that warm, secured feeling. She really wanted to be close to her icy king.
Their faces and noses were just inches apart and their eyes were still locked, memorising eachother’s thought.
Xan stared at her lips, his adam apple making a move to have them soon.
He slowly pulled out his arm away from his head, he leaned up from the ground and swiftly made amy stay under him.
Amy raised her eyes to stare up at him. How come his eyes became so icy and dreamy all of a sudden.
She felt his thumb carress her gently on her lower lip and she felt it get moisturised immediately.
He quickly pressed his palm on her waist, inching closer to her face.
Amy eyes went very wild. Her heart beat pumped and raced very faster inside her chest. She quickly held her breath.
His nose was now on hers. His face was an inch apart. Her little toes stood erect in readiness.
As soon as he was about to kss her, a car sound was heard interrupting the both of them.
Xan quickly jilted his head up, staring at Amy’s face in disbelief. His eyes wandered around her face and he could only find fear.
He didn’t even realise he was trying to kss her. It was as if his body was somehow exchanged.
He wanted to sI.ap and scold of himself right then for trying such attitude. He of all people?. Was he actually in his right sense?.
He sighed, standing up on his feet.
“Sean is here” He bluntly said, picking up his shirt.
Amy also stood up, looking really blunt. She was feeling sad that he had to go now.
He tried to pull off the jersey but amy stopped him.
“You can keep it.” She said, smiling cheekily.
Xan grinned. He lowered his gaze from her and sighed.
“Look Amy, Don’t think much about what happened this night. Think like it never really happened okay?”
“Agreed!” She spoke aloud.
He picked up his office shirt and started to move towards the door.
He stopped and stared at the floor for a whike before looking back at her.
“My car won’t be here before daybreak. So don’t worry about it.” He told her and she nodded.
He finally opened the door to leave the house.
Amy frowned throwing the pillow to the floor. Now, she had started to feel the same way she felt for vixen towards xan.
She heard the car closing up and she quickly rushed towards the window and peeked outside. She met the cab already speeding away.
Sigh. She fell on the blanket and hugged her pillows smiling widely.
She stopped and frowned again.
“I still don’t know this icy king’s name” she muttered to herself.
UNDER THE RAIN OF LOVE : CHAPTER 1 – 10
XAN’S MANSION
Xan walked into his apartment, he was really tired and wet.
He arrived inside the livingroom. He stared at his luxurious looking home. It wasn’t as welcoming as Amy’s.
Everywhere seemed very quiet and lonely as usual. He sighed and strolled up the stairs, matching every step with difficulty.
He got to the corridor and wondered where that troublesome head had went.
He went into his room and all he wanted was a bath and a long blissful sleep to be energetic tomorrow.
He was in the bathroom. He turned on the tap and made the hot shower stream on him.
After a while, he rested his two palm on the wall, staring at the floor as his mind went towards amy again.
He didn’t know why his head was just running heads over heels over her since after that kss incident.
He knew he wasn’t in love. He knew he could tell when he was in love but now, he knew he was not prepared to fall in love.
His only companion cheated on him with his brother. It was the most grievous incident for him.
He knew love was fake!.
He came out of his room and dressed up in his robe before pulling up his hair dryer.
The door suddenly opened and Vixen walked in, he was smiling mischievously as he stepped in.
“This is my room. Yet you fail to knock” Xan primped, staring at him.
“Pst. Do you need a privacy. Then go build a separate house!” Vixen mused.
“Or perhaps you could say vixen should go build a house cause this is my house!!”
Vixen laughed, waving his hand.
“How was she anyways?. Did she tell you she won’t be at work tomorrow?” Vixen asked.
“What do you mean?” Xan eyes got dark.
“Well, I guess you stayed up at Amy’s place. It’s a bad thing she won’t be at work tomorrow.”
“Because of the weather or what?”
“Just think about it, don’t be too suprised.” He said and cunningly left.
Xan stared at the mirror again. He tried to adjust his brain and think more clearly.
Yet, he was unable to process anything. He stared at the door that vixen just left through.
He knew something was not right.
