IV

Entering the room Robin immediately began assessing the situation. Though fear coursed through her she could not risk her own safety.

While she was occupied with her fear the man began his assessment of her apartment. Looking around at the small space he was beyond unimpressed.

An old washed-out couch, a cracked laptop that sat atop a stained coffee table, what an uninteresting place this was, just like its owner.

Going back to Robin he noted her even-toned chocolate skin and curvaceous figure. She was in no way fat but instead quite thick on the thighs and ass. Lifting a brow at her messily tied hair he could not help but sigh at her lack of self-care.

"Wh-who are you and what do you want"

Snapping back at her eyes he could see the nervous look in her eyes. 

"We met before"

"What?"

"Yesterday, we met last night"

Last night? How? I came directly home after the whole incident from yesterday, I am sure I did not run into a tall hooded figure in the middle of the driveway or something.

Seeing how confused she was he sighed in frustration. Reaching for his hoody he lifted it off him, revealing a very handsome man. Robin could not help but gaze in awe at the sight of the man. He did not look like any man she had met before which left her even more confused.

"I-I'm sorry but I have no idea who you are"

Unimpressed with her answer the man walked toward her, a look of anger decorating his gorgeous face. Robin walked backwards every step he took forward she took backwards. Feeling her back hit the wall behind her the stranger placed an arm beside her against the wall. 

Looking down at her she could not help but feel a certain heat well up within her. Though the man had a look of anger she could not help but still find him dangerously attractive.

"You really don't remember?"

God even his voice sounded attractive.

"I'm still a bit lost"

He smirked at her the look giving her an indescribable feeling in the depths of her stomach.

"I am the man you kissed"

Kissed? She was still confused, she would definitely have remembered if she ever had the opportunity to kiss someone as godly as him, then a bulb went off in her head.

"It was you?!"

She exclaimed pointing a finger at his broad chest. Blushing at that she was quick to lower it.

"Yes it was"

Pushing away from the wall he made his way toward her television. 

"Wait, if you're the guy from yesterday why are you here? And how did you know where I live also what's with those reporters outside?"

Ignoring her questions Ethan rummaged for the remote once he found it he turned her tv on skimming through different channels.

"Hellooo? I asked you a question. are you just gonna ignore me? Seriously are you just a stalker or something?"

Yet again she was greeted by silence. fed up with his odd behaviour she reached for her pocket where she had placed her phone. 

"That's it I'm calling the cops"

"I wouldn't do that if I were you"

"And why not"

Once again he ignored her this angered her further.

"Look I have no idea why you're here but I think you overstayed your welcome"

He did not answer her instead he kept searching through the channels looking for something.

"Are you even listening to me? Hey!"

"Ah"

Stopping on the news he raised the volume.

"Watch"

"What are you talking ab-"

Glancing at the television Robin's eyes grew at the sight of the very same man standing in her home fully displayed on the screen. Reading the caption underneath his picture her eyes only grew wider. 

Mr Acres with hidden mistress, the words were displayed in bold and a picture of the two kissing came on the screen.

"Wait, what?"

"I'm afraid the kiss from yesterday has made its way out and now I am at a risk with the public and possibly with my status as well"

"Wait, wait, wait...who exactly are you"

"...I am a very wealthy man"

Yeah, I can see that!

"Okay, so basically you're some celebrity and I kissed you yesterday and now everyone thinks I'm your mistress or whatever thanks to the leaked photo, right?"

"Yes, that is correct"

"Ha"

Collapsing on the couch Robin held her head in her hands frustrated with her past actions. Not only did she lose the love of her life and get betrayed by her family but she also messed up someone else's life because she did a stupid thing.

"Oh my gosh, this...this is bad"

"Indeed it is"

Leaning against the couch Ethan kept his gaze on the screen as it displayed the picture of the two kissing. Her white bodysuit was free for all to see her in. If anything he was a bit surprised that she was not fussing over her body being exposed in such a manner.

"So what do we do? How can I fix this?"

Looking up at him with determination she was ready to help in any way possible. She could not let an innocent bystander suffer just because of her reckless behaviour. Seeing the fiery look in her eyes Ethan could see she was willing to help. Taking advantage of her kindness he looked her in the eyes and said with a serious look,

"Marry me"

"...What!?"
