Hellbound With You

Chapter 62 Wish

Chapter 62 Wish

Abi looked at him as if he had grown a second head.

"Do something exciting? What is more exciting than watching the sky from up here?" she asked. She thought that this was already pretty damn exciting. She couldn't think of anything better than this. Climbing up the roof, lying in your boyfriend's arms and watching the lovely colorful shades of the sky as they slowly fade to grey – this was a dream come true for her, the epitome of the roof experience. But then she thought about it and figured that this was probably not as exciting an experience for someone like him, who had probably seen plenty of the world, as it was for her.

Alexander's smirk became even more distinct and he had a devilish look in his eyes.

He suddenly pulled his body up and twisted around so that in the next moment, he was lying half on top of her. His eyes were shining with mischief as he gazed down at her.

"There's definitely something much more exciting, Abigail," he sexily uttered as his glorious face hovered over her face. His thumb suddenly landed on her lips and he gently caressed them without averting his gaze from her. The intensity in his eyes made Abi's throat run dry. "Doing naughty things up here, out in the open can be very… very exciting," he whispered and Abi's face became red.

"N-naughty things?"

He nodded. "The naughty things adults do usually in bed at night, Abigail," he clarified mischievously, causing Abi's lips to part in shock.

She was speechless. Was he thinking about those things all this time and was that why he was not responding at all? She couldn't believe him! How could he still think about those things when the view up here was this spectacular? He didn't know how to appreciate the beauty of nature at all!

"Like for example –" Before Alex could finish his sentence, Abi's palm flew over his mouth, stopping him from saying anything else.

"Alex, t-that's not nice. We can't do something like that here," she scolded and Alex's face beamed in amusement. A little lamb was actually scolding him…

He grabbed her wrist and peeled it away from his mouth.

"Why not? Are you shy? Don't worry, Abigail, we are in the best place right now and no one will see us from here," he assured her but Abi became even redder.

"What are you saying… the moon and stars are up there, watching us right now! A-and it's too dangerous to be doing n-naughty things up here!" she covered her face with her palms as if she wanted to shrink and disappear.

". . ."

Before any reaction could register on the man's face, Abi peeked through her fingers to look at him when suddenly...

"Ahhh!!!" she yelled excitedly as her eyes turned into huge circles. Her arms suddenly wrapped around his neck as she pulled him down to move his head out of the way just to have a better view of what she just saw.

"I'm going to make a wish, Alex!!" she exclaimed and before Alex knew it, the girl let go of him and slipped away from under him, and stood up.

She closed her eyes and cupped her hands together as the wind blew, gently lifting her hair so that it looked like they were floating behind her.

When she opened her eyes again, she looked at Alexander with a smile. The man was already lying back on his spot, looking back at her with a look of wonder and bewilderment as he gazed up at her.

Abigail was so happy.

"Alex, you make a wish too!" She urged excitedly, but the man just closed his eyes as if to avoid seeing her face.

"I don't wish, Abigail," he mumbled but Abi's expression didn't change.

"Okay, I'll make another for you then, Alex," she said and the man abruptly opened his eyes. When he looked at her again, she was already facing the horizon, with her hands cupped together, and her eyes closed while her long silky hair was dancing gracefully with the wind.

Alexander fell silent watching her.

When she was done, she looked down at him and smiled before she spread her arms out and looked up at the sky. Alex just continued watching her. He seemed curious about what she wished for him but he didn't ask. An indifferent look just flashed in his eyes as he watched her.

But suddenly, an unexpected strong gust of wind blew by. Abi was caught off-guard and her body wobbled from the force. She tried to regain her balance but it was useless. The wind had pushed her body backwards so unexpectedly that all she could do was flail her arms round trying not to fall down. Alex saw what had happened and he instantly moved, as fast as lightning, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her close to him into the safety of his embrace.

"The girl who was actually brave enough to bargain with the devil was about to be defeated by the wind so easily… I can't believe you, Abigail!"

"I… I'm not that weak. I just wasn't expecting it to blow so strong at that moment," she told him. Her heartbeat was drumming in her ears and her breathing became a bit shallow. For a second there she had thought she might have been done for! Luckily for her, her boyfriend had quick reflexes.

"Yeah, yeah. We're going," he said succinctly.

"Can we stay for another hour?" Even though she had a scary experience just now, she didn't want this experience to end yet. She wanted to imprint this magical feeling of being on top of the world with Alex by her side.

"Do you want me to let go and drop you from here, huh, Abigail?" he playfully asked and Abi's arms suddenly wrapped around his neck as tightly as she could, as if she was clinging on for dear life.

Alex had his answer and her reaction made him laugh.

"Good girl, that's what I thought," he said before he carried her towards the ladder.
