Sold?

I looked back at the person and forgot to breathe for a moment.

"L-Lexus?" He was wearing a white t-shirt white black jeans. His hair styled like usual but he looked great.

He took a good look at me then pulled me towards himself and dragged me out of the exit.

There, a black Audi was parked, right next to which Arius stood with a bruised lip and a somewhat swollen cheek. He stepped aside as Lexus reached the car and pushed me in the front seat. He then went and sat in the driver's seat, started the car and left.

It was past midnight and I had my mouth shut and kept my eyes on my lap. Lexus didn't say anything but his eyes were burning with rage. He was beyond angry.

Is there a way to maybe calm him? Maybe he thinks something happened there or maybe he thinks I ran away. I should tell him I didn't.

I took a deep breath.

"I-it isn't like that." My voice was so feeble even I could barely hear it. I glanced at him, his eyes on the road with the same stern expression. I bit my lower lip. Of course, he didn't hear me. "It isn't like that.' I said out louder, "And nothing happened in there."

I looked at him. He spared me a glance.

"Oh? Nothing happened?" He stepped on the accelerator, "I was watching the entire time." He gritted his teeth

I froze in fear. Is it me or does he seem even angrier now?

What now?

I moved to my original position and looked back at my lap.

"I didn't run away." I said in a normal tone.

"I know." His reply was simple but I looked back at him in astonishment.

"T-then why are you angry?"

The car came to a stop and I realized we were back at the hotel.

"Get out." He said and then opened the door and got out. I did the same and followed him to the entrance but stopped there.

He still didn't say what was it that was annoying him so much.

He paused and looked back at me. I wanted to ask him again, why he was letting such a bad aura out.

But Lexus was already too pissed. The moment he noticed I had stopped, he came back and picked me up, tossing me on his shoulder, he walked in.

The employees at the counter stared at us in disbelief. Their wide eyes, oogling at us, it made me very uncomfortable.

It's not like it wasn't understandable. I mean their boss, who is like a cold machine, was carrying a young girl over his shoulder and I guess everyone could tell that he was taking me back to his penthouse.

Still, I'm glad there were only a few people there.

****

I was tossed on the sofa as soon as we entered the house.

He didn't turn on the lights, the place was illuminated by the light entering from the outside and it was enough to make out everything.

Lexus stood in front of me, his gaze piercing through me. His eyes especially fixed on my dress.

Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath and then opened them. He moved closer and landed his one knee on the sofa between my legs and his right hand on the back of the sofa, trapping me there.

"Why am I so angry, you asked?" His voice was cooler than before but I could still feel the anger in them.

I feel a buzz as his other hand made its way on my thigh. "He touched you here didn't he?"

"Y-yes."

His hands slid up and made its way to my inner thighs.

"Where else?" He demanded.

"N-nowhere." Unlike Ryan's, Lexus's touch felt good but it scared me too.

His hand that was on the sofa, was now on the zipper. He unzipped the dress.

"Are you sure?" His eyes searched mine for answers.

Shifting positions, he had me lay down on the sofa as he took his position on top of me.

His hand made its way to my underwear and pulled it down. He pulled down the dress a bit. I tried holding onto it but then he pinned my hands above my head.

"Y-yes. That was all." My heart pounded in my chest as I realized where this was going.

"Now tell me. Why did you leave with her?"

"I-I was just- I was scared."

He looked a bit surprised.

"Scared. Of what?"

I looked away, "You."

I glanced at him and realized something. He was hurt by my words.

"Do you hate me Rosalie? Is that why you're scared of me?"

I shook my head, "No." I whispered. It's because I love you. But I can't love you. Someone like me... I gulped.

"Then why?" His expression softened.

"I-" Maybe I should just tell him, "Lexus I- I'll tell you why if you tell me the reason."

"Reason?"

"Of why you bought me?"

He stared at me, "Why do you care so much? What does that have to do with anything?!"

"It does!!" Of course it does. What if you just bought me out of pity, or just as an amusement. Wouldn't that make me pathetic for falling for you? " It does..." I whispered this time.

"I can't tell you."

This time, his answer made me angry, "You're a jerk!!!" I yelled at him. He was clearly surprised at my sudden outburst.

"I can't tell you for your own good!!!"

"How is that good for me!!!" We started yelling at each other.

"I know it is!!! You're just a kid!!!"

"Ah~ right!!! Then that makes you a pedophile!!!"

"What!!?" His eyes twitched, "I can't tell you because you don't even remember!!"

"Remember what!!!???"

"..." He realized he said something he wasn't going to. He averted his gaze and got off me, "Go to your room." He went and stood against the window and began looking out.

I got up and went towards the stairs. I can't believe we actually yelled at each other.

I looked back at Lexus, he stood there rubbing his right arm softly as he was in the middle of thinking. The silent night and the flickering lights of the city made his figure that stood there in front of the large window, rather lonely.

I turned to leave when I heard his whisper.

Even though he was whispering to himself, I clearly heard his words.

"I just wanted to keep you safe."
