Kapitel 8: I've forgiven you

Liliana stared at Tristan for a while before her lips curved into a smile. She felt excited that he apologized to her sincerely. Her expression sold her out and she overreacted. Liliana didn't know when she wrapped her hands around his neck. "I've forgiven you," she said behind him. This girl… Tristan shook his head.

Apologizing alone filled her with so much exhilaration, she still needed to grow up. Liliana pulled out, grinning ear to ear. "I'm not upset anymore," she said, but he showed no expression.

To Liliana, she felt he apologized from his heart, but Tristan wasn't human and had the power to gain emotions from people through his actions.

"Let's play again, and this time we ask questions. Deal?" She asked. Her face was now glowing as she smiled, she didn't look dead anymore.

When he apologized, she thought he was going to sound like she forced him to apologize, but he sounded sincere that it melted her heart. His voice when he apologized was just so pleasant in her ears, Liliana's eyes on him made him uncomfortable. He thought he was to only one to cause her discomfort, but he thought wrong. Her gaze filled him with more discomfort.

"Alright, let's play," he said. Tristan picked up the cards and handed her some. They played again, and he was so determined to win, but she won. And again she screamed, just for a game? Tristan threw to her that exasperated look but seeing his expression, she acted like a child and grinned.

"Just ask your question," he told her, and she had a serious face on. She cleared her throat, ready to ask.

"What's so good about having girls surrounding you?" She asked.

Tristan was quiet for a while, why was she asking such a question? Is she kind of jealous? "A doctor should know how a man feels when he's in a girl, so if a girl could bring that feeling, how many would multiple bring?" Tristan enunciated, but something was odd. She never told him that she was a doctor. Her brows knitted together due to two reasons. One, his stupid point and two, the fact that she never mentioned to him that she was a doctor.

"How did you know I'm a doctor?" she asked.

"You came home once with a stethoscope around your neck," he said with confidence.

"Ohh…" She realized. "I don't know how he feels but know what he'd feel."

"It's fun not only for the man but also the woman," he said.

"I know."

"Then why asking?"

"It's like you are addicted to it… To be honest, I don't like it when you come home surrounded by girls"

"Why?" He asked. "Because you want me only for yourself?"

She glared at him. "No, I never said that."

"You did, just now…" Oh, Tristan adored teasing her.

"I didn't, stop!" she slapped his hand and he laughed for the first time!

"Okay, okay… Let's play again. I want to win," he told her.

"But…"

"I've answered your question, it's because of the pleasure, okay? And I'm not stopping," he assured her, and she frowned. He never cared about her opinion or her feelings for things, so she let it go.

They played again and she won. What was wrong with him? He was losing to his landlady… He frowned, and she did too, Liliana also wanted to hear his question.

"Do you have any questions for me?" She asked, giving him the chance.

"Why don't you know how to kiss? And why are you still pure?" He asked.

She lowered her gaze, she hated that he knew that about her. 'Because I wanted to be a nun, but now you've taken my first experience in kissing' she said internally and raised her gaze to him. "I wanted to be a Nun, but my parents never agreed, so I became a doctor," she explained.

"How old are you?"

"23… What about you?"

"I don't tell people my age," he scoffed.

"I told you mine."

"Should I pay you for that dear sexy Landlady?"

She shook her head. 'Just wanted to know your age'

'I'm much older than you are' he said inside him. She could only hear him if she had his heart, but she didn't and also didn't want to have his heart, So, No, she didn't.

"No, never mind… Wanna play again?"

"Don't you have somewhere to go? Aren't you going to work?" He asked, and she looked at her wall clock, it was almost six! She needed to get ready for work.

"Thanks for reminding me, and thanks for your time," she recalled that kiss. Liliana never thought, she'd feel so good just by kissing a man. And his lips were better than the way they looked. She stood up and looked down at him, expecting he'd also stand up, but he didn't. "Um, Tristan… I have to get ready for work, so you have to leave," she told him.

"I want to watch you get ready," he said, Liliana was stunned, but she shook it off her head with her cheek burning.

"Huh? Tristan..." She didn't know what to say. "Okay, stand up," she told him, and he did, like a child to his mother. Totally strange!

"Please Tristan, let me have my privacy," she begged him.

Tristan sighed in frustration and the next minute he was out of her house without uttering a word.

Was he upset? But she didn't do wrong, it was her privacy and she needed it. She can't always do what he wants. Liliana sighed and left for the bathroom.

For the first time, Tristan listened to her and didn't watch her, he stayed in his room bored and in the end, he left for the club. Something was wrong with him? He almost opened up to Liliana earlier when kissing her and as she returned the pleasure, he almost lost it. He needed to be himself again and stop being too close to her.

Liliana went out of her house to meet Tristan ready to go out. "See you tomorrow Tristan," she waved at him, and he turned around offering that evil smile of his.

"Sure my sexy Landlady" he replied and winked before leaving.

Liliana's cheek burned, somehow calling her Landlady and sexy made her blush and winking at her made her heart beat faster… This was the first time she felt this way about a man.

Liliana played with her car keys before unlocking, entering her car, and then driving off.

Liliana returned home the next evening, exhausted and tired. She couldn't make dinner for herself, so she decided to go out and get herself something to eat. When she was ready to leave, she saw Tristan leaving too. She attempted to call out to him, but he'd left her sight before she could open her mouth.

Tristan was hungry, he hadn't eaten for days now, and he was unable to cook, so he went out the street to get something to eat.

He got to the shop to get rice and chicken soup, but the line was too long, he waited anyway. When it was his turn, he told the lady in charge what he needed, but she ignored him.

"Hello," his unpleasant voice called her attention, but she lifted her gaze and glared at him.

"Oh please ugly… You have to wait! Don't stress me, okay!"

Tristan the short-tempered man got angry, and then his gaze fell on the stoves she was using to cook. He used his gaze to melt the gas pipe and soon the shop would explode, but when he walked a little away… Liliana had already taken the woman out of the shop and run far away before… Boom! The shop erupted!

How did she get there, and who was Liliana to terminate his plan?
