Chapitre 36: 36
His expression changes to one of shock and concern as he hears her say that. He sighs as he looks down at her, not knowing what to think of his brother's words. He was angry, confused and worried all at the same time, thinking about what his intentions were at that time. He couldn't believe that he would say such cruel words. He whispers to her.
"Are...are you serious? He really said that?"
Megan sighs nodding. "Roman I wouldn't joke about this...and the day he called me a bitch...He said that...I didn't care about his feelings and only cared about you...I didn't understand that...it was strange."
He pauses for a moment as he thinks about those words, and then he speaks again in a soothing and calming tone. "No, I mean...he's wrong. You care for both of us, but right now, of course you're going to care more for me because we're in a relationship. That's perfectly normal."
"That's why I didn't get why that made him mad. I'm your girlfriend...It's normal for me to focus on you."
The way she says that makes him smile and he chuckles softly as he whispers a bit softly.
"Exactly, he shouldn't be mad or irritated over that. You're my girlfriend, he's my brother. It's natural that you'd be focused on me more than you would be on him."
His smile drops as a thought comes to mind: Apollo is acting like a jealous man. He was acting like he had feelings for Megan.
His eyebrows narrow as he thinks about this new theory that he just came up with. He wonders if this is why Apollo is acting like this. It's the only thing that would make sense right about now. It would explain why he doesn't want them to be together. But if that's the case, then what's going to happen now?
********
Apollo knew that after what happened, Roman was going to keep a much tighter leash on Megan and that he would never let her out of his sight. He knew that he couldn't blame Roman for it and that he would do the exact same thing if he were in his place. But he also couldn't help but be irritated by the fact that she was now going to always be guarded so closely. Even if they had some rare moments together again, they would always be under the close watch of Roman and he wasn't sure if he liked that.
Even now as he sat in his car infront of the mansion he knew he wouldn't see her.
A faint twinge of regret and worry appear on his face as he looks at the house. With his brother now keeping such a close watch on her, it was going to be hard to find some time with Megan to even get a chance to be alone with her. And he wasn't sure which bothered him more, the fact that he barely had a chance to see her now or that he couldn't spend much time alone with her.
He enters the mansion and is greeted by the workers. To his suprise he sees Megan heading upstairs alone.
He glances over at her and stares at her as she heads up the stairs. She was alone and he takes that as a chance to at least go talk to her. He follows after her and he speaks up once he's close to her on the stairs.
"Hey Megan."
"Apollo."
Megan tucks stray hair behind her ear as she looks at him. Her brown eyes scanning him.
Her eyes scanning over his features causes his heart to skip a beat and he fidgets with his hands a bit out of nervousness. He tries to clear his throat and he speaks up "I wanted to...talk to you" He pauses and he sighs and he looks down and rubs his fingers together for a moment.
"I don't think we should."
He is taken aback by what she said and he frowns, "I just wanna talk, please. I promise this won't take long and I'll make sure to be out of here once we're done. Just please, I just wanna explain myself"
It's clear that he's not going to take no for an answer.
"I told Roman. He knows about your weird antics now so stop it."
He stares her down and his frown deepens. He's not amused at all with how she is being to him. His voice is filled with a hint of annoyance as he speaks again
"I'm trying to apologize okay? Do you even hear me?! Can't you just hear me out for a second?!"
"Apollo I got shot for you! I tried to save your life and risked my own but you always treat me so horribly now you're here demanding I hear you out?!"
He's surprised when she mentions the shooting and he speaks up again and he looks down. He stares away from her as he feels a hint of guilt, "You got shot for me..."
He sighs and he stares down at the ground as he rubs his fingers along his forehead.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry about how I've been treating you. I'm sorry for all the arguments I've tried to cause between you and my brother. I just..."
"You just what Apollo?!"
He was about to just say: "I just want you" but he quickly stops himself. He glances over at her and he sighs and he looks away again.
"I've been acting irrationally. Everything I've done was for stupid selfish reasons and I'm just..."
Megan searches his eyes for an answer but he doesn't look at her. She didn't want Roman to be worried about her relationship with Apollo being bad but she didn't know what his problem was with her.
He sighs and he runs a hand through his hair and he sighs and he just decides to be honest. He looks back over at her and he speaks softly as he says, "I think I'm in love with you..."
