100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Thirty-Seven...

~~*****~~

When Ethan left the house to go to school, Abigail had the chance to have private time with Nathan. Nathan intentionally skipped going to work today because of Abigail. He wondered if she had something to tell him after what transpired last night.

To ensure that no one could overhear their conversation, Nathan invited Abigail to his study room. Even if Abigail would scream inside, no one could be able to hear her. Nathan ordered Butler Li not to let anyone go to the second floor at this hour.

Abigail looked around her while Nathan sat on the long sofa comfortably. "Aren't you going to sit? This is not your first time coming here." Nathan patted the space next to him, signaling Abigail to sit down.

Abigail lifted her eyebrow as she scoffed at Nathan. 'Is he going to kiss me again? To be left alone with him is like playing with fire.' She bit her lower lip while curling her fingers into a ball of fists, her eyes fixated on Nathan's lips.

She just realized that she had been bold and aggressive too last night when she matched the intensity of his hungry rough kiss. The proof of their passionate kiss was still evident on his lips.

Noticing the intent gaze coming from her, Nathan smirked at her coyly. "We are here to talk," he reminded her with his teasing blue eyes.

Abigail snapped out of her wild imagination and was brought back to the present. She had the urge to smack her forehead for embarrassing herself in front of Nathan over and over again. She could tell that Nathan noticed the lustful look in her eyes when she stared at him... specifically at his lips.

Instead of sitting next to Nathan, she tried to distance herself from him. She chose to settle down on the chair opposite Nathan.

"Yes. I know. We are here to talk." She mumbled in a low tone as if she was reminding her own self.

Nathan waved his hand, doing her the honor to speak first and bring her agenda.

"I don't want to waste your precious time so I'll cut to the chase. Why did you kiss me last night? Have you fallen for me already?" Abigail asked Nathan with an earnest look on her face.

Nathan surprisingly found himself chuckling at her last statement.

​ Glowering her eyes at him, Abigail bared her teeth. "Why are you laughing? There is nothing funny. I'm damn serious about my question!"

Nathan stopped laughing and cleared his throat. He sat up straight, fixing his posture. Then he looked at her straight into her eyes. "Because you have a strange logic, Miss Scarlett. I just kissed you and you already presumed that I've fallen for you?"

"Have you forgotten that you are an actress? You have kissed a lot of men on-screen... but it doesn't mean you have fallen for them. Am I right?" Nathan unexpectedly became talkative today just to defend his own logic.

"Fine. I'm an actress. But you are not. Besides, Ethan said you won't kiss just any other woman... If you kiss someone, she must have been special to you." Abigail used Ethan's words against his father.

Nathan shook his head, forcing a smile. "Are you just telling me this to force me to say something you want to hear?"

Abigail just rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders. She shouldn't be giddy and just took one step at a time. "Fine. I will take this as if you are still in the denial phase. Take your time. I am willing to wait. But answer my following questions truthfully."

Nathan could only watch her in amusement. She could be shameless at times. "Go on, just ask me."

"Who is the woman you met last night in the restaurant? What is she to you?" Abigail was direct and straightforward.

"Helena Carlsen, the daughter of the Chairman of AMB Diamond Corporation. She's the woman my father wants me to marry." Nathan lied at the last part since he wanted to see her jealous reaction once more. And he didn't fail. Abigail's expression turned sour almost instantly.

"Then who am I to you?" Abigail asked him again.

"The woman who wants to seduce me," Nathan promptly responded, smirking.

Narrowing her eyes in annoyance, Abigail tightened her hands as she clamped her fingers into angry cannonballs. She had the urge to rip the cheeky and annoying smirk off Nathan's face.

'Just you wait Nathan Sparks! I will make you head over heels in love with me!'

"Do you have any more questions to ask?" Nathan was somehow enjoying this conversation. Who would have thought that it was so fun to tease Abigail and see her nose-flaring reactions?

Abigail closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. She was trying to calm down. Nathan undeniably knew how to push her buttons. But she wouldn't let him win. The more she gets annoyed the more Nathan will win.

"Fine. I have one last question. I hope you will give me an honest answer... a real honest answer," Abigail emphasized her last three words.

Nathan just looked at her with so much interest in his eyes. He was anticipating her next question.

"Between Shining Star and Monica... to whom you fell in love first? I heard that she was Shining Star for you at first before she became Monica your lover. When did you start loving her? Before you met her in person or after meeting her in person? I am really curious."

Nathan fell silent for a moment. The playful gleam in his eyes had disappeared when Abigail mentioned Shining Star and Monica. Since Abigail wanted to hear the answer, Nathan took his time to assess his feelings. Yeah... when did he start loving her? He was curious as well.

Though he couldn't pinpoint the exact time but deep inside he knew the answer.

Abigail's eyes never left Nathan's face. She watched his every reaction as he took his time, figuring out the most honest answer to that given question. For some unknown reason, anticipation grew inside her heart as she waited for his answer. She gulped hard and braced herself. She was dying to hear his answer.

After his moment of silence, Nathan finally spoke up and gave her the answer she sought, "Shining Star."

Badum! Badum! Badum!

Abigail had a baffled look in her eyes the moment she heard Nathan's answer. She opened her mouth only to close it again as she couldn't utter a word. Her heart was racing rapidly against the wall of her chest. She didn't expect that.

She had conflicting thoughts at this moment, whirlwinds of emotions stirring her heart. Then her eyes suddenly stung with tears. She had a lump in her throat, rendering her speechless as she was fighting the urge to shed some tears.

'Why is she getting emotional? What's wrong with her?' Nathan mused to himself as he watched Abigail's strange reaction. That was not the kind of expression he was expecting to see from her.

Nathan's body reflexively moved, standing up. He was about to ask her if she was fine when Abigail closed their distance and threw herself at him. Without a second thought, she hugged Nathan!
