Hellbound With You

Chapter 737 - Notebook

Once the belt was finally unbuckled, Alicia found herself still unable to look away. She kept her eyes on his hand that was now moving on to the button of his pants.

She watched as she held her breath while his long fingers unbuttoned it in a seemingly excruciatingly slow motion. And the moment it was finally done, Alicia stiffened. Then his fingers moved again to unzip his…

Alicia finally turned around, slapping her forehead with her palm with much force, as if she had just caught herself doing something so unforgivably stupid. What was she thinking?! She was here to watch over him and make sure that he did not regain his memories. Then why was it that she had somehow became a peeping tom that was trying to cop a look at his body?!

"What the hell are you doing, Alicia!?" she scolded herself internally as she kept her gaze on the wall that was opposite of Ezekiel. Not knowing that the man behind her was now looking at her with the corners of his lips being lifted in an enigmatic smile. He then chuckled soundless to himself.

…

Alicia only turned around again when she finally heard the sounds of the shower running, coming from the bathroom. Upon seeing his silhouette through the frosted glass wall of the bathroom, Alicia then leaned against the wall and sighed out heavily before she let herself slide down to the floor.

She could not help but laugh at herself at the thought of what had just happened. It seems that Ezekiel the statue really had some powerful charms. She could not believe that he could even make a spirit like her act so wantonly like that. Even as a spirit, she could feel the phantom blush tinting her cool cheeks.

Groaning, Alicia shook her head as if to clear her mind. "Truly a dangerous creature." she murmured to herself while her eyes turned fierce as she stared at Ezekiel's innocent clothes draped across the chair, as though they had done some wrong to her.

When Ezekiel came out, Alicia just quickly turned around again, avoiding her eyes from falling on that well-sculpted body of his when he started to get dressed. Though she had only seen his naked top, it was not hard to conclude that his lower body would be as impressive as his top. She did not want to be spellbound by his ridiculously strong charms again and end up staring at him like some dumbfounded fool.

Once he was fully dressed, Alicia just continued watching him. And after another round of pestering and with him not even batting an eyelid, Alicia concluded again that she was right. Ezekiel could not see her nor hear her. That was her conclusion right now. So she will continue watching him as closely as could like had been doing all this while.

A couple days had passed, and Lilith somehow managed to keep herself from bumping into Kyle again since that night. She had been hearing a lot about him everywhere she went. He truly was the talk of the town. Even Agnes kept droning on and on about him, daydreaming loudly on how she thinks his lips would taste like. Agnes even vowed that she would make Kyle hers.

Lilith could scarcely tolerate hearing these vulgar things being spoken by Agnes. But she really could not tell anyone to stop talking or they would think that she was overreacting or just being jealous. She saw these girls talking like this to other girls after those girls had told them to stop talking about the current hottest prince named Vincent Kyle Reigns.

And thus, Lilith could only endure as she had yet to find a quiet spot for herself. The forest she had found earlier would not be a plausible choice anymore because she did not want to end up running into Kyle again in there. She also did not have the chance to look at other places for the past two day because of Agnes and also because she did not want to roam around too much for fear that she would run into him again. She did not know why, but she felt that she might end up finding him instead of finding her quiet place.

Somehow, she could not believe she was not just here to learn how to live in disguise but to also play hide and seek as well. And the worse thing was that it had only been two days and she was already wanting to see him so badly.

She sternly scolded herself when that thought came to her mind and reminded herself on everything that she knew that would make her not want to see Kyle again. It works every time somehow, especially when she replayed Kyles words, when he said goodbye to her months ago in her mind.

"Averis!" a male voice called her name when Lilith was on her way to the girl's dormitory.

Lilith turned and saw that it was the boy who was sitting next to her in one of her classes. He was tall and had piercing blue eyes. She remembered his surname was Riego and girls were also crazy about him as well. "This is yours, right?" he said with a smile as he stretched out his hand and handed her a small notebook.

The sight of the notebook made Lilith crease her brows. How? Did she forget it? That was impossible. Did it fall off from her backpack somewhere along the way to class? Lilith somehow could not believe that as well. She definitely would have felt it if it had dropped somewhere, right?

"Yes, thank you. I must have dropped it somewhere, I guess." Lilith held onto the notebook and was about to take it back, but he was not letting it go.

She creased her brows as she looked up at him when…

"Luna!" Lilith heard that familiar high-pitched voice and her frown deepened a little more.. When Lilith looked over at Agnes' way, she stilled at the sight of the person she was trying so hard not see again, walking along next to her roommate.
