Part 21- Almost

I saw the fear in her eyes as she took a step back. She is scared.

"You're scared of me, aren't you?" I asked her approaching her.

"Stay away from me" she managed to say.

I pointed the gun at her. She showed me her alerted face.

"Is that what you're scared of?" I asked her.

"What are you trying to do?" She asked me.

"You actually think I'll shoot you? You think I'll do such a thing?" I was testing her.

Her expressions suddenly changed.

"You holding a gun isn't what scares me and you know that Aslan, what I'm thinking about right now is all the people that you aimlessly killed with this gun of yours that you're holding with so much pride...good thing that Fazal is alive seriously, I couldn't be more grateful but...that doesn't make you or your friends less of killers.." she said in disgust.

"You just made a judgement like that without even knowing-"

"Even if I don't know exactly what happened that day and why you have this gun in your possession...you had it three years ago and you still have it now..that gives me enough answers to make my statement" she cuts me by saying that.

So, she really thinks of me as a killer only.

She turned as she was about to leave but I had to add one last thing.

"I still love you as much as I did back then...and I hope you still have a place in your heart for me even if right now..you don't trust me at all...I can prove you that I'm not the bad guy you think I am.." I said hoping she would give me a reply.

But no, she still left after hearing what I had to say.

You shouldn't have judged me this fast Adalina. I'm not who you think that I am.

Now, I just want to make you mine as soon as possible. And I will do it without any shame.

Now that you know half of who I am, be ready to see more. I'm not holding back anymore.

Adalina's POV.

He still loves me?

I've been unable to sleep or even think of something else and it's already 2am in the morning.

After having the talk with him, I ran away to hide in my parents car. I needed time to process everything therefore instead of going back there to clarify things with Ayla, I chose to stay in the car.

I'm glad I clearly told him what I thought about him but his reply is not getting to me.

He said he hopes I'd still give him a chance?

Impossible. I'm never giving myself to a killer.

Even if I was to let myself get confused by my heart who never seems to be able to think properly when he's around me, I won't let it win over what's right and wrong.
