100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 317 Give Me A Chance!

Day Thirty-Seven…

~~*****~~

Aiden smothered her lips with demanding mastery. He took this chance to deepen the kiss as Cherry was still in a trance, trying to absorb what was happening. His mouth parted hers in a soft massage, nibbling on her lower and upper lips alternately.

Cherry just found herself following his lead. She instinctively moved her lips, brushing and licking Aiden's mouth.

A few seconds later, the realization had dawned on her. She was not supposed to kiss this annoying guy. She ended up biting his lower lip between her teeth.

"Ouch!" Aiden groaned and drew back as he felt the pain. Cherry bit his lips so hard that they bled.

The next thing that followed was the loud smacking sound of a palm hitting a face.

Pak!

Cherry slapped him. "How dare you steal a kiss from me once again?! Are you courting death?"

Cherry raised her fist in front of Aiden. Aiden, who was rubbing his cheek, reflexively stepped back to avoid her punch.

Cherry's bloodshot eyes were directed at him, her lips forming a thin line but her cheeks were blushing. This was the second time Aiden stole a kiss from her. But the difference was that… she responded and kissed him back!

'Shit! This is so embarrassing You are insane for doing that.' Cherry scolded herself inwardly.

She expected Aiden to mock her by telling her 'I knew it. You can't resist my charm.' But to her surprise, Aiden acted differently.

With an earnest look in his eyes, Aiden told her, "You hurt my feelings. You stomped on my pride. But I don't hit women because I'm a man and not a boy. So all I can do is kiss you. Now, we are even. I won't hold a grudge against you."

Cherry clenched her teeth, eyeing Aiden with disbelief. Aside from being annoying, this man was truly shameless.

"Come here. I'm gonna kill you!" Cherry stood up, moving her fingers back and forth as she motioned for him to move closer, her sharp gaze telling him not to run away from her.

"Sure. Kill me. I'm not going to run away anymore. But I will make sure that I will become a ghost that will haunt you forever. I will stick with you, day and night. Twenty-Four Seven!" Aiden spat back at her with a corny threat.

Cherry couldn't believe this guy and his reasoning. What did he think of her? A woman who could easily be threatened by a ghost?

"I'm not afraid of ghosts!" Cherry said with a deep crease on her forehead.

"Good. If I become a ghost, I don't want you to fear me." Aiden chuckled giddily.

"Nonsense!" Cherry was super annoyed at this moment. She wanted to rip that smile off his charming face. 'Wait what? Did I just say… Charming?! No way!'

"Don't follow me!" Cherry raised her fist once more. She wanted to leave this annoying guy alone.

But before she could leave, Aiden spoke his mind once more. "Cherry! Why don't you date me?! I'll prove to you that I'm not a boy… but a man!" He began to challenge her. "I'll show you the real me. Not the guy whom you read in the magazine or the internet. The different side of me."

Aiden stepped forward, closing their gaps. He didn't want to be scared of her anymore. He would try to be brave enough and face Cherry without fear. If he was scared of her, he couldn't get close to her.

Cherry just glanced at him with an indescribable expression. She didn't know if he was joking or not.

"Give me 30 Days…" he suggested.

Cherry arched her eyebrow and pursed her lips.

"Alright. Just give me two weeks! Bond with me for two weeks!" Aiden was so determined to convince her. "Get to know me better."

"Please…" His brown eyes were begging her.

Cherry was silent. She contemplated for a moment. "Let me think about it…" she uttered in a low voice. Without waiting for Aiden to say another word, Cherry walked away, leaving him behind.

Aiden could only sigh helplessly as he watched her departing back until she vanished from his sight. "How can I tame her? She is very cold towards me. Can't she give me a chance?"

Aiden slumped his body on the bench as he sat down. He took another deep sigh. "Should I be happy or not? I got insulted. I got rejected. I got slapped… But…" Aiden's lips curled up into a satisfied grin and he touched his lips. "We kissed…"

"I kissed her and she kissed me back!" Aiden's dejected expression he had a while ago was gone. It was replaced by a bright smile, his eyes gleaming with joy. He could feel his heart beating so fast inside his chest.

"Her lips are soft… I love to kiss her… over and over again." Aiden felt like he was over the moon as he caressed his lips, still imagining the scene that transpired there a few minutes ago.

Pak!

"Ouch!" Aiden grunted when someone hit him in the back. He turned to his left side and gazed up only to see Abigail. She just came out of Stephen's study room and passed by the garden to find Cherry.

"Abi! What are you doing here?" Aiden subconsciously covered his mouth using his hand as he recalled what Abigail tried to do last night. She almost kissed him.

Abigail didn't answer him. She just watched him with her scrutinizing gaze. "What did you do to Cherry? Did you bully her?"

Aiden's eyes widened and he removed the hand that was covering his mouth. He pointed his finger at his reddened cheek, showing Abigail the slap mark left by Cherry's hand.

"Do you think I can bully her? I will get beaten up…" Aiden put on a pitiful face. He wanted to get Abigail's sympathy.

Abigail let out a soft chuckle before sitting down next to him. Abigail patted his shoulder and asked, "Why do you keep on coming here and pestering Cherry?"

"Because I like her… I am interested in her. I want to get to know her better." Aiden shifted to his side, facing Abigail. Then he grabbed her hands and asked her, "You are close to her, right? Can you help me?"

"Hmm. Are you serious? I'm afraid that you will just treat her like your other girlfriends. I don't want her to get hurt." Abigail gave Aiden a warning gaze.

"Sigh. Why don't you believe me? My intention is good. No malice. I'm a good person, Abi. I'm serious… I won't hurt her," Aiden responded with conviction.

Abigail assessed Aiden's facial expression. She could find out if Aiden was lying or not. He was easy to figure out and very transparent as compared to his other two best friends… Nathan and Stephen.

After a few seconds, Abigail bobbed her head in response to his request. "Fine. I will put in a good word for you. I will encourage her to give you a chance for two weeks."

Aiden went round and gasped, "Huh? You overheard our conversation! Are you spying on me?! Do you have a crush on me? You even tried to kiss~ uhm"

Abigail covered his mouth to stop him from completing his sentence. "I'm drunk. That was a mistake. You are not my type."

'Ouch! My pride is hurt again by another woman. Strike Two now, Aiden!'
