บท 39: I Can’t Stay Away
Adonis's POV
I have been watching Maya the entire time she was talking with Christopher; I prefer him since he is a wonderful young man, but now that he is flirting with her, I can't stop myself from being so jealous. I know Chris and Beatrice since we were kids, just like Maya. We have been great friends because we always played together, and I like him and his sister to be around us all the time. I perceive Chris likes Maya for a long while now, and I couldn't believe he will choose this occasion to court her.
I can tell it from the way he looked at her and the manner he is talking with her, he is confessing to Maya, and I hate him. I don't want to stay away from her, but I don't have a choice, but to follow my mom's order, but at this point, I think I am making to ruin her dreams. The moment he cupped her face, I know he is going to kiss her, and I lost it.
I realize I am not Maya's boyfriend, but she likes me and I have kissed her so many times already, and I am her first kiss, and I want to remain the only one who kissed her, but he claimed her lips with passion. It took all my strength not to use force on him, but I am blinded by my jealousy, and it seems my entire world darkened. And I realized I don't want anyone to kiss or touch Maya except me.
I run to them quickly, and I grabbed him and punched him in the face from left to right while Maya is still savoring their kiss. The girls shouted, and I can hear their screams while Christopher is on the ground laughing. I don't know why he looks so happy after I hit him. The time Maya opened her eyes, she looked so angry when she realized what I had done. She gets up and tries to support Chris, but I hold her wrist.
"Don't!" I said, and I can't contain my anger, and she glanced at me with hatred in her eyes, and I don't want her to look at me that way. She pushed me so hard, and I am shocked she ran to help Chris, but he is smiling, and he raised his hand to signal Maya to stay away from him, and I got so confused. And I knew Christopher was so afraid that I will ask my grandfather to fire his father, and I am not that kind of person. Our friends are already surrounding us, and I couldn't believe that I did it to Chris, and I thought there is no turning back.
I picked up Maya, and I felt she wanted to get away from my hold, but I didn't let her leave, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Cassandra who is looking daggers at us, and I realize my life will be doomed. I am sure she will tell my mom about what happened, especially now that I am carrying Maya in my arms.
I move straight to my sister's room and put her in the bathroom, and I told her to take a bath since we needed to talk. I bought a dress for Maya after I gave her the bike, and I plan to give it to her in person, but I didn't have the time, and now I want her to have it. I write my note, and I can't stop myself from feeling so worried if she won't come and talk with me.
I am waiting at the terrace on the second floor of the mansion, and I am pacing back and forth, my mind is in disarray, I don't know how am I going to support Maya, after what I did to her, if my mom put her scholarship on hold I can't forgive myself. I need to take care of her and find a way to support her studies, and I am not going to leave her. I don't care if I have to work just to aid her, maybe I can sell one of my sports cars, and pawned some of my jewelry given to me by my parents and grandpa.
My legs and hands are shaking because I am feeling so nervous, I know she is angry with me for what I have done, but I need to pacify and tell her I will go to Chris and talk to him tomorrow and apologize. I am losing my hope. It has been a while since I left Ariana's room, and maybe she chooses him over me. I can't blame her if she does, but I will never surrender until I can have her in my arms again. I am so stupid, I should have realized that I can't stay away from her, and I should have called her and answer her messages. I am such a selfish fool.
I am leaning on the terrace railings, and when I sensed her presence, I look up, and I felt relaxed and so relieved to find her striding towards me, and her steps faltered, and I move closer to her.
"You came!" I exclaimed, and I can't stop myself from admiring her lovely face. We are standing near each other at the center of the terrace under the starry night, and I remember the first time I kiss her. It was like this the stars are shining above us.
"My Maya, you looked so beautiful with that dress." I said, and I can tell she can't stand being angry with me, and I kissed her passionately, and she tried to push me away, but she became weak under my embrace. I placed my arm around her waist while my other arm is at the back of Maya's head, and I felt her hands curled around my neck.
I felt so happy by the time I feel she kissed me back with longing and passion, and we are kissing again under the starry night on the terrace of my grandpa's mansion. I kissed her hungrily, and I can hear her soft moan as we continue kissing and savoring each other, I can't get enough of her sweet lips. And I know I disappoint Aya the minute I stop kissing her, and I cupped her face and stared at her in the eyes.
"Maya! I am sorry for being so greedy, but I can't hold myself to be closed to you, I wish to be selfish and be with you when I saw Chris kissing you, I don't want to keep my real feelings for you anymore, I need you to be my girlfriend whatever it takes, please be my girlfriend, Maya, and make me the happiest young man in the universe." I said, and I can see her face lights up with delight and I felt so glad that she still wants me to be her boyfriend, and I can see the confusion in her eyes, but she accepted me.
"Yes! Adonis, I choose to be your girlfriend and be the only one. I wish you to be my boyfriend, even if you hurt me so much!" She replied and saw tears of happiness poured down on her lovely face, and I wiped her tears away.
"Of course, you are the only girl for me, I love you, Maya, there is no one in this world who makes me feel this way. I am sorry but being my girlfriend won't be an easy ride, I am afraid you will undergo some trials, but I promise you I will be there with you. Just allow me to kiss you one more time before I will tell you everything. And I want this kiss to be special because you are now officially my girlfriend." I spoke, and I claimed her swollen lips again, and we share another hot and deep kiss, and I felt so happy to have her in my arms again.
"Now, explain why you suddenly became so distant to me, I hate you for making me so miserable for the past two weeks." Maya said as she poked my chest.
"I know and I am sorry," I responded while I hold her in my arms, and I kissed her forehead. Hugging her makes me so happy, and I don't want to let her go no matter what happens.
"I realize I have been a jerk again, but if I only knew I couldn't take it to see you with another man, I should have called or replied to your messages, but I thought it would be easy to forget you, but it is so hard and I am hurting." I declared.
"I need to be honest with you, my mom is against us, she found out I am courting you. That is why I tried to stay away from you, but I can't, and right now I know Cassandra informed my mom what happened in the swimming pool. I wish you to be strong and stand with me whatever happens, and no matter how she is going to tear us apart. She warned me to stay away from you because she likes Cassandra for me." I added.
"I am not sure if you have seen Cassandra's post during the gala, but it was all my mom's idea. I don't want you to lose your scholarship, but my mother said she will do whatever it takes to take away the scholarship from you, she is one donor of the university program, and I am afraid she has the power to take it away from you, but you don't need to worry about it since I will find a way to send you to college." I added and her tears welled up in her eyes.
"I am sorry, I didn't realize your mother did all this, I like you a lot Adonis, but the scholarship means so much to me." She said as she tightened her arms around my waist.
"I know, Maya, that is why we have to face this together, I don't know what she is going to do with me, but I will not allow my mom to separate us, I love you, Maya. I realize we are both young, but I can tell what I feel for you is real, and I can't imagine my life without you.
"I love you too, Adonis, but I don't want you to have a misunderstanding with your mother." She said, and I become more in love with her. She knows my mother hated her and doesn't like her, but she still thinks about my relationship with my mom, that is why I am so sure I will fight my love for her.
