Michelle:

"What's with your harsh breathing?" Rory walks up to me and places his palm on my sweaty forehead. I bat his hand away nervously. Can he tell I've been kissing William? Wait, am I like a cheat now? Christ! What was I thinking? And to think William has a woman. Bastard! My mind reminds me that I wasn't complaining when he was doing delicious things to my body and I bite down on my lips harshly.
"Are you listening to me, Mara?" Rory starts snapping his fingers in my face.
"Stop that. You're annoying me." I say as I force my jelly legs to sit on my bed. Rory follows me and sit beside me.
"You look like you've seen a ghost." Rory brushes a stray hair off my face as he stares deeply into my eyes. Do they say liar and cheat?
"Oh, you just scared me. I wasn't expecting you to be in my bedroom." I shrug and pretend nonchlance.
"Well, I'm sorry baby

. I just thought I should get in through your window like I've been doing for the past few years."
"Yea, you just scared me." I say and he nods mildly.
"I know just what would make you feel better." Rory's face lights up in a smile and I relax a little.
"What?"
"Let's get lunch or brunch. Whatever. Outside. At any eatery you want." He sounds excited and I feel myself warming up to the idea.
"I've never been outside during the day except it's for one of our missions to you know, get my father." I say sincerely.
"I told you I'll set you free, Mara." Rory takes my right hand and brush his lips against my knuckles. I freeze a little.
"Relax, princess. I just want you to be happy. You don't have to want this right away okay? Just give this a chance." Rory whispers as his hand draw small circles on my palm.
"I don't want our friendship to end." He says after an awkward silence before gently dropping my hand. He turns his head to stare off into the tumultuous ocean outside my window. His shoulders droop. I feel bad. He wants to set me free and I'm being too stuck up. He's right. I should give this a chance.
"Hey, look at me." I take his hand and he turns to face me.
"I'm okay." he says but I shake my head.
"This is awkward, I won't lie but you're right. I should give this a chance." I say sincerely. The big smile that makes him even more handsome makes me feel like I'm doing the right thing.
"Baby, you don't know how happy this makes me." He engulfs me in a hug and I listen to his excited heartbeat. This is a guy who obviously loves me so much. This is the right decision.
"I deserve to be happy now." I whisper into his chest at the same time I hear my door push open with a little creak. I don't even know why but I jump away from Rory like I've been burnt and my eyes Clash with William's.He thinks I can't see him. His lips are set in a firm line. Rory clears his throat beside me and I look away from William for a second before fixing my face in a scowl.
"You don't know how to knock?" I snap.
"Well, I did knock but I guess you were too busy to hear it." William grinds out. Is that jealousy i hear in his voice? I smile inside. I turn to Rory who's just watching William with narrowed eyes.
"Baby, we should go get the brunch you offered. I'm pretty famished." I say sweetly. Rory raises a brow slightly before nodding slowly.
"Your wish is my command, princess." He says, his eyes on William. I don't turn to face William.
"Please get my coat. It might be cold outside." I tell Rory who nods and gets off the bed to get my coat.
"Where do you think you're going?" William asks as soon as Rory is off the bed.
"A date. With my fiance. Not that it's any of your business." I shrug nonchalantly. William's jaw set firmly, it must hurt. I like that I'm affecting him. Serves him right for trying to use me when he has another woman.
"Ready to go?" Rory comes back to my side and places his arm around my waist. I watch William's eyes go to the arm and his jaw set harder. Don't hurt your jaw liam.
"Sure. Help me get into my coat." I tell Rory. He comes in front of me and gently pull my hands into the coat one at a time before setting the coat right. William watches every moves he makes without blinking.
"There." Rory says as he brushes down my coat. His fingers brush the side of my breast lightly and a tingle goes up my spine. I don't know if it's from hearing William growl under his breath as he sees it. Images of my legs wrapped around his waist flashes in my mind and I go red. William's frown deepens. He probably thinks I'm blushing because of Rory. Good.
"Let's go." Rory takes my hand and starts to guide me out of the room.
"Wait!" Rory and I stop short at William's sudden outburst.
"What's your problem now, man!" Rory snaps.
"I just have to get my coat and we'll be out." He says.
"Out where?" I ask.
"To do my job, protecting you. You don't think you're going out without me, do you, Michelle?" William asks.
"ofcourse I am."
"Michelle?" Rory asks confused.
"Don't tell me you don't know your own fiance's name." William smirks.

. I can feel Rory boiling beside me. He could level William to the ground. I step between both men.
"No one is Michelle." I grind out harshly. William tries to look into my eyes but I look away. He might see through my blind act.
"Lets go." I tell Rory who takes my hand and starts leading me out the room. I use my hand to feel the door before Rory pulls the door open for me.
"Forget the coat. I'm still going with you." William says from behind us.
"What's his problem?" Rory grinds out to me and I shrug.
"Just ignore him. He can follow us all he wants." I say. Actually, I want him to come with us. He needs to see that he's not the only player. A smirk fixes on my face.
"Just remember to play blind." Rory spits
