Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 74

Violet’s P.O.V.

“You are going back today, huh?” Kyle asked me and I nodded without looking at her. I was better now and could go home. Samantha and Victor were about to arrive. So, I was now packing my stuff here. “When will they come?” he asked me again while giving me my books from the table. “Uhhh… Sam called me last night. She said that they will be here by the afternoon today. They will be here any time”, I told him what I talked with Sam. He nodded and then I packed my bags silently.

“Violet”, he called me when I zipped my bag. I looked at him questioningly. Ethan had some work with his father. So, he had been out of the house since morning but he told me that he would be back before I go. Mrs Parker also had a meeting to attend in the morning. So, she was also out of the house right now. She asked Kyle to help me with packing as he was at home. So, he was here with me. He came near to me. “Move around”, he said to me, and I looked at him in confusion. Still, I did what he said and moved to the other side. Now my back was towards him. I felt him coming closer to me.

Suddenly, a star-shaped small beautiful silver pendant appeared in front of my eyes on a chain. Before I realized what was happening, Kyle put that pendant on my neck. I touched the pendant and then looked back at him in confusion. He scratched the back of his neck and blushed a little. I blinked to process what I just saw. At first, he gave me a gift and now he was blushing. “I… I got my first paycheck a few days ago. I… I saw this pendant and I liked it. So…. Uhhhh… I… I bought this for you”, he stuttered hard while telling me about the pendant. “You…. You got your first paycheck?” I asked him in surprise and he nodded while looking at me curiously.

I beamed and threw myself on him while wrapping my hands around his torso. “I am so happy for you”, I squealed while hugging him tightly. I felt him taking a deep breath and then he wrapped his hands around my waist. I shut my eyes tight in embarrassment when I realized what I just did. I once again acted on impulse and expressed my happiness by hugging him. “Uhhhh”, I tried to say something and was about to move away when his grip on me tightened. “Please stay for a moment”, he whispered while putting his chin at the top of my head. I was almost a foot shorter than him. My heart started beating furiously but I once again did what he asked me to do.

I put my head on his chest right over his heart and closed my eyes. His heart was beating so fast as if it was running a marathon. I didn’t know what to think right now. He was my bully but he was the one who helped me and took care of me the most in the past fifteen days. Even he woke up in the night several times only to ensure that I was okay. And the gift that he gave me today, he bought that from his first paycheck. This was the first gift that I received from a boy and I was really happy that he bought this with his own money. “Is this expensive?” I asked him in a low tone when I got anxious about the price of the pendant and the chain.

“Uhhh.. no… this is not expensive. It’s silver”, he told me in a low tone but I felt hesitation in his words. “I really like the pendant. Thanks for the gift”, I immediately told him about what I felt in a low tone. “You really like it?” he asked me again in the same low tone and I just moved my head up and down to tell him that I was saying the truth. “I would have returned it to you with a heavy heart if it was expensive. I really like it”, I said further and heard him chuckle this time. “Can’t you accept an expensive gift?” he asked me in a light tone this time.

This time, I slowly moved away from him and he loosened his grip on my waist. “I… I can’t accept an expensive gift and you… you kn..know the reason”, I told him while fidgeting with one of the buttons on t-shirt. He had worn a collared t-shirt today. “I will keep this in mind”, he said in a light tone again and I looked up with a raised brow in curiosity. He slowly leaned towards me and kissed my forehead lightly. “Let’s finish your packing before they arrive”, he said and I nodded. He removed his hands from my waist and I moved towards my bag again. My heart was now beating furiously. What was going on between us now? We were not friends but his behavior towards me was now giving me mixed feelings.

I was still scared of him. I got a panic attack a few days ago when I accidentally hit him and thought that he would beat me. Strangely, I got relaxed when he coaxed me and then fell asleep in his arms. He still behaved coldly when someone is around us but changed completely when we were alone. I really wanted to know what was going on in his mind. “You will shift tomorrow, right?” I asked him when I remember that he was also about to shift. I looked at him this time and he nodded. “Yes, Mrs Parker said that she will finalize everything with your guardians today and after that, I will shift. I will pay you three-month rent in advance”, he told me what he had discussed with Mrs Parker and I nodded and looked back at my stuff.

Sam told me that they would prepare his room today and then they will help him in shifting tomorrow before leaving for their home. Sam didn’t want to leave me alone at home even for a night and that was why Kyle was shifting right after me. I didn’t know why but I didn’t want to take money from him. He was already working so hard to earn enough money for himself so that he could bear all his expenses on his own. I was lucky that I had my grandmother’s investments with me. The house was also in my name and Victor told me a few months ago that he would finish all the paperwork right after my birthday, which was in two months.

“You owe me something. Did you remember?” suddenly he asked me in a teasing tone and I looked back at him again in confusion. What did I owe him? He came near to me again and pulled me in his embrace. I gasped and put my hands on his chest still looking up at him in confusion. He leaned down and whispered in my ear. “You hit me that day but I didn’t punish you for that, did I?” he asked me in a husky tone and my heart skipped a beat. I was now frozen in my spot. He was still planning to punish me. What did I do now? I was alone with him in the house. No one would come to save me.

“I want to k**s you”, he suddenly demanded in a low and husky voice. I shrank my eyes in confusion because he always kissed me whenever he felt like that. He had kissed me on my forehead, cheeks, at the sides of my head. Then why did he was demanding like this? “Here”, he suddenly put his finger on my lips. I clutched his t-shirt tightly and my eyes widened in shock when I processed what he just asked. A small seductive smile crept on his lips and I felt my knees go jelly. He held me tight by my waist or else I would have fallen on the floor hard. “Wh… what?” I managed to utter this word in disbelief and shock.

“I want to k**s you on lips”, he spoke again in the same tone and I went pale. This was not happening. He couldn’t k**s me there. I couldn’t lose my first k**s just like that to him. “But not today”, he said again and I blew out the breath that I was holding till yet and put my head on his chest. “O my…. Yo..you scared me”, I complained in a shaky voice and he laughed lowly. “Your imagination is really strong, princess”, he said in a teasing light tone and I felt like hitting him again. I pushed him away from me and then moved towards my bags again. I heard him laughing loudly this time but didn’t look at him.

He really knew how to put me on edge. I was really scared to death when he said that he wanted to k**s me. He was not my boyfriend. Heck, we were still not friends. How could he say like that? I was really annoyed by him now. He then didn’t say a word again but I knew that he was still looking at me. Suddenly the door of my room opened and I looked in that direction. “Sam”, I exclaimed happily and almost jogged towards her. “My baby”, she beamed while spreading her hands towards me. I hugged her tightly and she embraced me immediately. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Her embrace always gave me a homey feeling. “Good afternoon, Mr Stockholm, Mrs Stockholm”, I heard Kyle greeting both of them in a gentle tone.

“Good evening, Kyle… how are you?” Sam greeted him back in a cheerful tone and released me from her embrace. I also pulled myself away from her and looked behind. Victor was standing behind her with an expressionless face. “Victor”, I called him and this time he looked at me as he was staring at Kyle earlier. His expression soften and he smiled at me. “How are you now?” he asked me and I smiled brightly. “I am perfectly fine now”, I told him, and he nodded while smiling. “She is still not completely healed. The doctor asked her not to do any heavy work for a few more days”. Kyle spoke this time and told them what the doctor said to him when he went to the hospital with me for the checkup.

“But I am really fine now”, I pouted while looking at Victor. “I can see that Violet but you have to obey what the doctor asks to do. We don’t want any other complication now”, Victor said in a gentle tone and I just looked at him annoyingly. He chuckled at my reaction and then looked back at Kyle. “Please take some rest. I will be back soon”, Kyle requested them and then walked out of the room leaving us alone. “He still not reconciled with his parents?” Sam asked me in a low voice and I shook my head negatively. “They blocked all his cards but he is working now to earn money for himself”, I told her Kyle’s situation briefly. She looked in the direction of the door with a sympathetic look. “He is such a nice boy. Still, his parents don’t value him”, she spoke in a sympathetic tone and I pursed my lips into a thin line while thinking about him.
