Chapter 548 Being A Jerk For Once
Alveena blinked her eyes several times. She couldn't believe that she was being kissed again by Andrew.
His kiss was so demanding as if this was some kind of punishment kiss. She was overwhelmed by the way his lips devoured her.
Andrew kissed her hard, nibbling on her lower and upper lip. He even gently bit her lips, tugging them using his teeth.
Alveena could only close her eyes and drowned herself with his hungry kiss. She opened her mouth for him and Andrew's tongue explored her inside.
He caught her tongue, licking and sucking her with his own. Alveena responded to him with eagerness. She betrayed herself once again as she couldn't stop herself from kissing him back.
Andrew broke her defense. She tried her best, lying several times just to push him away. But here she was, finding herself back in his arms again.
Before she knew it, she was already pushed, her back touching the trunk of the coconut tree. Andrew continued kissing her, leaving her breathless.
He just let her gasp for air before claiming her lips again. He did it over and over again, kissing her as if he hadn't seen her for ages.
When he was satisfied, he released her lips, resting his forehead on hers while caressing her cheeks. The two were panting, trying to catch their breath.
When Andrew heard those words from Alveena, he almost believed her. But he recalled every moment he spent with her.
He was reminded of Alveena's effort in fixing the problem abroad with the other branch. She helped him a lot to the extent of getting sick while doing her job.
The way Alveena took care of him for the past one month, he didn't think that it was just part of her plan. It was genuine.
His heart was telling him that Alveena's feelings for him were genuine and true. He believed that Alveena would never use him.
It was Angelique who leaked the design to Clifford, not Alveena. Tristan and Matthew investigated it. From that alone, he could tell that Alveena lied to him.
She couldn't even look at his eyes when she was telling those lies. Andrew also noticed that Alveena was unknowingly clenching her fists too tightly when she was speaking to him a while ago.
He knew she was lying and he also knew the reason why. She wanted to push him away and sever their ties. She wanted to end everything between them by telling those lies.
That was the reason Andrew felt mad because he couldn't accept it. He was hurting when Alveena had finally decided to forget him.
She lied to him so that Andrew would get mad at her. But she didn't expect that Andrew could see through her lies.
And about Brandon's and Alveena's relationship, Andrew learned that there's nothing going on yet between them.
He overheard their conversation outside the conference hall. Brandon was still asking Alveena to give him a chance. He was asking her if she was already willing to accept their marriage.
It only meant that Alveena lied to him when she said she already accepted the arranged marriage with Brandon.
He interrupted them right away, afraid that Alveena would finally say yes to Brandon. Andrew was aware that what he was doing was wrong. But he couldn't stay away from her.
He felt like he was losing his mind. He didn't know what to do anymore. His mind and his heart were in conflict. His mind kept on reminding him that he already had someone but his heart was still longing for Alveena.
'Am I being greedy? I can't let go of Alveena even though I am already committed to Hannah?'
It did not take long when Andrew felt someone hitting his chest. Alveena started punching him.
"Why? Why are you doing this to me, Andrew? You should have just left me. Why did you come back? Why are you breaking my resolve again? Why?" Alveena asked him helplessly.
Andrew just let Alveena punch him all she wanted. He really deserved it.
"Yes, punch me, slap me for making things difficult for you. I'm sorry Alveena but… I can't let you go."
"I tried… so many times. But I just find myself going back to you. Am I that bad? I don't know what to do. I only know that I can't stay away from you…" Andrew was now expressing his true feelings for her.
Alveena didn't know what to feel right now. Things were getting more complicated. But with Andrew's words, was he telling her that he also had feelings for her?
"Andrew, what am I to you?" Alveena couldn't help but ask him.
Andrew raised his head to meet her eyes.
"You are very special to me. I have to admit that you are already occupying a space inside my heart… Alveena, I don't know how, why and when this happened. I just found myself getting more attached to you."
"Do you have feelings for me too?" Alveena asked him expectantly.
Andrew could no longer deny it so he bobbed his head as a response.
"Yes, I think so. I will never act like this if I don't have feelings for you."
Alveena was rendered speechless. She would lie if she told him she was not happy to hear this. Her heart was suddenly singing for joy at this moment.
How could he make her sad and happy at the same time?
"But still, I can't have you… I can't compete against your long time girlfriend, your fiancee," Alveena mumbled with her sad voice.
"Can't you just be mine? Sigh, I wish I had met you sooner." Alveena sighed deeply.
Andrew chuckled when he saw Alveena pouting her lips while having a disappointed expression on her face. He didn't know why but even in this complicated situation they were in, he could still laugh because of Alveena's bluntness.
"Why are you laughing? Is there something funny?" Alveena complained to him, hitting his broad shoulder again.
"Nothing funny. I think I am already crazy because of you. And I want to become a jerk right now just to be with you…"
"What do you mean by that?" Alveena asked him in confusion.
Andrew didn't answer her right away. He just stood there, staring at her intently.
Andrew was having these wild thoughts of forgetting about his engagement with Hannah just to be with Alveena. For the first time in his life, he was thinking of cheating on Hannah.
That's what he meant by saying he wanted to become a jerk for once just to be with Alveena.
"Alveena, I know I am so greedy for thinking about this. But... can we… Can we forget about her and my engagement? I'm willing to be yours while we are here in the City of Cyrus."
Alveena: "..."
Andrew had totally lost it, breaking his damn rule of sticking to one. He was tempted to do this because he couldn't ignore the strong attraction he had for Alveena.
All he wanted to do now was to be with her. For a long time, he had kept his feelings for her. Now he didn't want to restrain himself anymore. He just wanted her to feel how much he cared for her, how special she was to him.
