The Law of Attraction

"A mistake?" Craig grunted.

His face darkened. Those were words he did not expect to hear after that wonderful union they shared.

He gently pushed Gale so he could properly look at her face. She was blushing with embarrassment. She retracted her eyes from his and tilted her head down.

But Craig held her chin and forced her to look into his eyes. He wanted to clarify if he heard her right. He was too old for the tug and pull thing. He could feel Gale liked him as well because otherwise she would not do it with him if she did not feel a thing for him.

"I know I'm not yet in your heart. I also understand that everything happened so suddenly. I am not rushing you into anything but please… Don't say such words as if this is a mistake. Because for me, this is not a mistake. Are you saying you don't feel anything about me at all? How is it a mistake? I'm a single man and you are also not in any relationship… So how is it a mistake?" Craig murmured with his eyes fixed on Gale.

Gale reddened hard. She had never felt so embarrassed in her entire life. She did not know what to say. She opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out.

Instead, Craig sealed her opened mouth with a kiss. It was a gentle kiss and Gale felt like her stomach was turning upside down. He was right. She could not deny the fact that she was feeling something for him.

'Was she also attracted to Craig?' she pondered as she answered his kissing like a while ago. It was like her body had its own mind, reacting positively to everything he was doing.

"Everything is happening so fast," she finally managed to whisper as Craig's lips trailed on her neck. She gulped and bit her lower lip when he suddenly sucked one of her n.i.p.p.l.es.

Craig stopped and tilted his head to meet her eyes. A smile curved on his lips while he whispered in his hoarse voice, "Hmm, yeah… I know. I'm sorry if I suddenly attacked you. I just couldn't help it. But I'm willing to stop if you say so Gale. I will not force you into anything, but I do hope you acknowledge my feelings and yours as well. We need not rush. Take your time… I'm not leaving and will stay by your side until you want me to leave you and go away."

Craig gave her one more gentle peck on her lips then on her forehead before he said, "Go and get dressed now before I change my mind and cage you again into my arms. I will go and prepare lunch because I'm sure you must be starving. It's past twelve already."

He thought he would properly talk to Gale later with clothes on or else he would only end up kissing her and doing more naughty things with her n.a.k.e.d body against him like this. He had a controlled grin as Gale jumped out of his hold n.a.k.e.d and quickly ran into her room. He shook his head as he stood up to pick up her clothes on the floor that she did not bother to pick.

He quickly put on his clothes and continued what she was doing in the kitchen while enthusiastically humming a song.

He never felt so happy in his entire life until now. He had a lot of relationsh.i.p.s before, but he never felt something deeper as how he was feeling towards Gale.

'Am I already in love?' he silently pondered. He believed he had never been in love yet because most of his past relationsh.i.p.s were all flings. He was hoping that this time it would be different. A deeper and mature one.

He had a roguish grin on how he was thinking in advance when he had yet to hear Gale's side about what happened. He was sure she was just taken aback with how fast everything went. That was why she said it was a mistake. He heaved a sigh, hoping later Gale would not mention those words again.

Meanwhile, Luo was still laughing like a crazy inside her car whenever she recalled Noah's expression.

"Did he really think he could beat me? Or intimidate me? In his dreams!" she burst while she drove back to Sy's Building that was very near to the restaurant they dined in. She went directly to the restaurant, so she had to drive her car to the building's parking lot even though the restaurant was just a walk away from Sy Building.

She wondered if Noah left already too because she was the first one to leave saying, 'Just give me a call whenever you are ready to spend more money on me then I can let you sleep with me whenever and wherever you want.'

"Hahahahahahahaha!" she again burst out in a fit of laughter after parking her car in the parking lot. Her stomach was already aching, and she was still inside the car.

"This is so enjoyable," she whispered as she wiped the tears from her eyes from laughing so much. She then went out and was about to enter the entrance when she heard Lana's voice from behind.

"Luo!"

She halted and turned around. Lana had a wide smile on her face as she approached her.

"I knew it. I'm right it's you…"

Luo chuckled and said, "Yeah, Do I look different? I improved my fashion sense a lot lately."

Lana shook her head and said, "You look stunning as well before. I love your simplicity. A natural beauty."

Luo blushed, hearing all those praises from Lana.

The two walked together inside the elevator as Luo asked Lana how her exam went.

"I'm sure you will pass." Luo was confident about Lana's results.

"Thank you." Lana whispered before she left the elevator first at Liam's floor. She wanted to surprise Liam in his office and also brought his favorite cake along with her.

Luo watched Lana walk out from the elevator and whispered, "Such a great couple."

She thought the two were a perfect match with each other, a match made in heaven. She wondered when her perfect match would arrive. Then Noah's irritated face suddenly popped up in her head.

"What the heck?!" Luo scoffed with a crumpled face.
