9 Call Me Liam.

"Please stop" Ariel dipped her nails on the hands of the oceanic blue eyed guy in front of her, trying hard to cause pain to him to get the hands off her neck. 

She fractured her brain with great force on the verge of death, trying to reminisce where she knew him from. He was the guy she bumped into the city right! How could she forget?.

Why did he came after her?Does he want her to pay for his tuxedo?Ariel remembered clearly he told her to not pay for it. Or did he changed his mind?. How was he able to find her too? And the worst of all, why was he trying to kill her?.

Her mind raced with too many thoughts.

"Dawn" She called, trying to connect with her wolf but Dawn completely ignored her.

Fuck! Does this stupid wolf of hers even knew if she died that they would both die together?, or doesn't Dawn care?.

She had screwed up. If she had known this would have happened then she wouldn't have argued with Dawn, Dawn was too stubborn and too prideful. It would require her a million apologies to get Dawn talking to her again.

"Please..I..beg..you….stop" Ariel pleaded with a hoarse voice, trying to find her voice to speak but the grip on her neck was too strong. Was he really the cute oceanic blue eyed guy she met before?.

He was much nicer and friendly when she bumped into him but now his oceanic blue eyes that got her drooling over him were gone instead his eyes looked darker, his cute bright face turned dark.

A deep furrow formed on his brows, he was breathing heavily as someone who just ran a hundred meter relay race. There was not a single smile on his face, it was obvious he was mad at something.

His other hand travelled around her neck, taking the pearled necklace off her neck in a flash. Was the necklace the reason he was trying to kill her?, Just because of a mere necklace. 

"My T-I-A-RA" The words escaped from his lips slowly immediately he took the necklace off her neck.

Was the necklace the reason he was mad at her and trying to kill her?She didn't commit any crime so why was he trying to murder her?. Ariel got roused from her thoughts the moment he asked.

"How dare you steal from me?" His deep sore voice asked.

"Steal?, I didn't steal from you?"  Ariel's eyes popped wide open, her ears trying to understand what he meant by the word 'steal'.

His tight grip on her neck lessened hearing her statement, Ariel saw that opportunity as a way for her to escape from the cute oceanic blue eyed guy. Sorry, he was now insane for trying to murder her.

She pushed him away swiftly and landed on the ground coughing and gasping for air at the same time, her hands went up to her neck. 

Her neck reddened and was hurting judging from the way he tightened his grip on her neck and she could also feel the mark of his fingernails on her neck.

Ariel got up from the ground, her breathing steadied.  

"What did you mean you didn't steal it?" He turned, coming closer to meet her. Ariel moved back quickly, stopping as soon as her back hit Eleanor. She winced silently in pain.

He was so close to her that she could actually feel his hot breath on her face, their lips were inches away from each other. Gosh! Does this guy not know how to keep his distance?

Despite the pain Ariel felt, she still crushed on his handsome face.

"It must have fallen out when I bumped into you"Ariel managed to say, swallowing hard. Her heartbeat increased rapidly. The guy in front of her was too handsome and hot. 

Was she still in her right senses?How could she still crushed on someone who tried killing her moments ago?.

Ariel used her left hand to massage her back softly, she hit her back Eleanor when he came close to her but it was now she was really feeling the pain.

"How am I so sure it really fell off and you didn't steal it from me intentionally?" He arched a brow up, Ariel let out a disgusted huff at the question he shot at her which she saw as a stupid one.

"You should be grateful and thankful that I actually picked it up when I stepped on it" She let out a scoff, crossing her arms against her chest. 

He was so ungrateful by calling her a thief when she really wasn't one which she was trying hard to prove to him but he seemed not to believe her.

"Then why didn't you give it back when you picked it up?" 

"I tried to but I couldn't find you, you left already when I picked it up from the ground" 

"That's an excuse every thiefs always gives when they are caught red-handed"

"Excuse me?" Ariel didn't hear him correctly now, did she?. 

And that was one of the reasons she didn't like helping people because they never paid back good with good.

"Uh, did I say something wrong?" He took a step back. Ariel let out a soft grunt the instant he moved away from her. She finally got the distance she wanted.

That guy was really killing her with his beauty.

"Everything you said is totally wrong, you really think you will see someone like me out there who keeps stuff like that" She pointed at the pearled necklace he put inside the pocket of his tuxedo.

"And tries to get it back to its owner" Ariel defended herself from all the accusations he was throwing at her. He only laughed when she stopped speaking.

"You are laughing?, You think this is funny?" Ariel seriously couldn't believed her eyes right now, he was really handsome but also kind of stupid. 

How could he laugh at a matter she took so seriously?.

"Okay, I apologise and I'm really thankful to you for keeping the necklace safe, it really means a lot to me" 

"Now you're talking like someone with a good sense of humor" She brought her arms down.

He turned to go but got stopped by Ariel who held him back.

"What am I even doing?" She asked herself inwardly, she was trying hard to control herself but her body kicked against it.

"I don't know your name, '' Ariel asked, turning her face away from him and fixing it on Eleanor. 

What the hell was wrong with her?Why did she asked him of his name?Why was she crushing hard on this dude when she was still heartbroken?

"Call me Liam"
