Genius Girl

Chapter 41 - 41: Images

After Daniella and Matthew left the Living room, she immediately slapped his hand from her shoulder.

Eyes glaring at Matthew like she wanted to murder him, Daniella placed her finger on Matthew's ear - tugging it harshly like she wanted to rip it off, and then she hauled him away from the main door.

Daniella stopped next to a tall tree – serving as the entrance to the garden.

As the cold breeze blows, Daniella withdrew her hand from tugging his ear and crossed both arms on her waist – glaring at Matthew.

"Matthew, care to tell me why are you using a different last name when we met?"

"What do you mean why? If people find out that I am a Su, they would think I am some rich kid who does nothing but, to have fun," saying that, Matthew casually leaned his back on the tree, he stretched one leg and playfully kicked Daniella's feet.

Daniella's face flattened, "aren't you one? Tsk, " feeling the pain from his kick, Daniella punched him in his stomach.

Matthew groaned; he was about to fight back when he saw Daniella glaring at him.

He straightened up, clearing his throat as he avoided her eyes.

"Don't worry, I am not going to tell him how playgirl you are. But tell me," his eyes squinted with suspicion as he leaned forward.

"You and my cousin seem to be close. So, what is it Ella? Why were you blushing when you looked at my cousin?"

Daniella took a step back, masking her anxiousness with a poker face.

"What are you talking about? I am just Selena's babysitter," she was able to said it straight but, her eyes were avoiding his.

"Hm, are you sure? The way you looked at him, it's like you want rip his clothes."

Matthew's eyes were twinkling with tease, lips maliciously grinning at her.

"The only thing that will be ripped in this house is your tongue if you don't stop," saying that with a threat, Daniella turned her back on Matthew, she could still hear Matthew's perverted remarks about her and Evan.

Cheeks flushed like it was painted with red paint, Daniella's mind flew on the day she last saw Evan.

-

Feeling the warmness of Evan air on her head, Daniella's heart pounded like never before.

Daniella's apartment was cold and even colder with her bare-n.a.k.e.d body, and feeling the warmth from Evan's embraced, she could not help but blush.

She bit her lips, face buried on his chest allowed her to hear his heartbeat, and it was pounding just as hard as her.

There was something in the air, making her feel comfortable, Evan embrace was like a thick blanket in the rainy day, it's making her warm and sleepy.

Daniella's eyes flickered when Evan moved, his hands went to her shoulder and it stayed there. As he stared at her, Daniella could see his pupil dilating.

With Evan's hands on Daniella's shoulders, he pulled her body and sat on the couch, they sat next to each other, distance so close that their legs were brushing on each other.

Daniella watched him as he took something out of his coat pocket, it was a small rectangular black box with the designer logo on it.

She rose an eyebrow upon seeing it, it looked like a titanium stud earring, a pair of round tiny pitch-black earrings, one would think of it as a mole of she put it on.

She gulped hard, wondering why did he choose a tiny earrings, men she previously dated had given her the most glamorous and expensive jewelry yet Evan decided to give her the smallest possible earrings, not that she minded it but, she has allergy with titanium and that's the reason why all of the jewelry -containing titanium that was given to her were donated in the charity.

She looked up to meet his eyes, seeing his brown eyes has made her wonder again why she couldn't read him.

(Should I try?) Asking herself whether or not to kiss him, right now, she's certain that she will be able to get a glimpse of his past by kissing him though she's still skeptical for the reason - this was the first time she encountered it.

Feeling Evan's warm palms on her cheeks, Daniella was pulled back to the reality.

She blinked, staring deeply into his eyes.

A deep sigh let out from his throat, and with that, her eyes narrowed.

"Are you alright?"

She could hear the strange sound coming from his throat as he took in a deep sigh, this was one of the moments where she wished she could read his mind.

"It just that, you are wearing underwear," hearing those words in a coarse tone, Daniella innocently lowered her eyes to her body.

"Yeah, well, Irene is kind of pervert, she said she gets horny when she sees me with no clothes so I am wearing underwear now," saying that, she stretched a hand to reach the white cotton robe laying on the coffee table.

When she looked back at him, she saw his bushy eyebrow raising with confusion.

"Do you always get n.a.k.e.d in front of your friends"

Stunned by his question, Daniella's body frosts.

She blinked, suddenly realizing that he was right, she doesn't really mind walking around n.a.k.e.d in front of her friends.

A question came in her mind, why does she do it?

Then she shrugged, "I guess it's because I can read their mind and I know that they are not attractive to my body, of course except Irene but, she's a woman, it's not like she can take my v.i.r.g.i.nity," after saying those words, she realized that they didn't come out right.

(Did I just freaking spill my secret?)

As the panic rose in her mind, Daniella's eyes immediately avoided Evan's surprise face.

She was staring on her left, pretending to watch the news while her hand was moving in the fastest way to put her robe on.

Daniella felt a hand on her chin, moving it on the side to face Evan. She blinked; heart pounded as she thought of the possible questions he will ask.

As she met Evan's eyes, all her worries disappear, they were shinning, pupil dilated and she could see her reflection to his glass eyes irises.

"You can read people's mind? Are you a physic?"

She doesn't know whether it was a sarcastic question or what but, his lips curving in a smile has made her skin crawl.

"Psychic? " she paused to laugh.

Head shaking as she continued, "No, Mr. Su, I meant I could tell if they have a desire on me, I mean they don't kiss me or hold my face like you do," she hid her anxiety with a tempting smile, her heart was beating so hard she could almost feel that it would explode anytime.

"Really?" hearing the deepness of his voice, she courageously met his eyes, and in just a second, she felt her senses drowning, hypnotized by the passion twinkling in his eyes.

"Yes," her lips parted to respond, her mind was floating somewhere else, while her body stayed sitting next to him, eyes staring into his, she could feel his breathing hardening and as their distance shortened, Daniella swiftly closed her eyes.

As their lips touch, she felt a different feeling rising from her chest, her hands on the side absently lifted and lay on his shoulders, an image flashed, it was Evan with two other boys she doesn't recognized, they all have a smile on their faces, and then the image disappeared replaced by a familiar face.

Kierry, it was the woman that saved Daniella, though this time, Kierry was with Evan, both had a serious face unlike the first image she saw, she could see the pain in Evan's face, he was biting his lips while tears were shining in his eyes, the image was so clear unlike the first and second kisses they had. It was as if done by a professional photographer.

The image stayed, she wishes to see more, she wants to know why he was crying.

Why? She asked herself as she pressed her lips into his.

How could she see other's people past like it was a movie but, Evan was only images, what makes him so different.

When the air in her throat was worn out, Daniella pulled her lips from Evan, they were both gasping for air.

She could see the l.u.s.t in his eyes as he stared at her, while her mind was filled with question.

She wanted to ask, why was he so sad, Evan had told her that he loves Kierry but, she's wondering, what kind of love it was.

She felt a hand gripping in her heart, was she hurting by remembering Kierry or was she hurting because of the sadness in Evan's face. Whatever the answer is, she decided not to know, so she pulled herself before Evan could even kiss her lips again.

As she was about to scurried off, Evan pulled her by the wrist making her to sit on his lap and, before she could protest, his hands were already on her cheeks.

"Are you seriously going to escape after tempting me with your eyes?" he growled with a seduction.

His horse voice and the words he uttered had made her eyes swelled with surprise.

(What did my eyes do?) She exclaimed but, all of her thought was flushed down in the Neverland as she felt the softness of his lips against her.

She responded willingly. Another image pops in her mind, and the image was the reason why her lips smile as they kiss.

It was her, in the chopper with her eyes closed – Evan looking at her while his hand was frost in the air hesitating whether to wipe her tears.

A faint shriek let out from her lips when Evan suddenly dropped her body onto the couch, he pulled away, eyes shining with emotion were looking at her.

As she waited for him to come closer, a familiar voice of a woman erupted behind the couch, Evan and Daniella turned to the source of voice and found Irene standing there with a popcorn in her hands.

"Guys, could you move in the bedroom? The news will start soon and I was interviewed this afternoon so, please?"

Remembering how Irene interrupted her moments with Evan, Daniella mind came back to the reality.

Daniella was standing next to the fountain a few meters away from the main door, (I should maybe change apartment, Irene is becoming a trouble)

After that thought, Daniella marched towards the main door.
