You're In My Grips
Chapter 25

Alan was a little surprised, but soon recovered his usual attitude. The plan that was in his brain, of course, was to punish the older cousin who always bullied him. "It turns out Erick is fast too," his inner praising the play of his older cousin who almost kissed Dara's lips. 

"Can't you knock on the door first?" erick's words firmly showed a murderous aura that seemed to want to tear Alan apart. 

"It became my habit. I suggest you lock it up or someone else can see the scene," teased Alan, while Dara rewinded her steps away from the two men who were so annoyingly clad. 

"You," Erick growled toward Alan, resisting his urge not to hit his cousin's handsome face. 

"What's? You want to hit me? Your temperament is very, very bad." 

"Damn." 

Alan continued to make Erick even more upset, slowly he approached Dara who was already in their midst. As fast as lightning he pulled the girl's hand and purposely hugged her to heat up the older cousin who had not yet gotten the girl. 

Dara is about to rebel, but Alan gives a signal that he is only pretending to make Erick angry while replying. 

Dara silently nodded her head, annoyed that Erick was also bullying her for being a subordinate. 

"Dam. He purposely did that to heat me up and make me jealous." Erick said in his heart. 

"Haha ... Just like this you've been like a hot worm, how do I do more. It's a punishment because you've always bullied me," Alan's inner self smiled ignorantly without feeling a sin.

Erick quickly pulled Dara's hand to escape the hug on purpose, but unfortunately Alan did not despair. "Take him off, you scare him." 

"really? I guess he's comfortable in my arms." 

"Ck, it's just your feeling." 

"Now you're in on the role," that's what defines Alan's gaze on Dara.

"What Alan said is true, I'm comfortable."

Erick felt tight, his heart and also his mind that was not in line suddenly wanted to vent it. "Don't touch my woman." It was the eyes of the eagle. 

"I'll let go." Alan immediately let go of the hug and smiled triumphantly, now Dara turned in Erick's arms.

"Oh my goodness .. I'm not a contested toy, I'm still a human being with feelings."

"You, out!" edith Erick glanced at Alan fiercely. 

"Okay, I'm leaving. Dara, if you need another hug, call me right away." 

"Not gonna do it, go." 

"Ck, you're so mean." Alan cursed because he was kicked out of the room and forgot his original purpose. 

Dara pushed the chest of the field so as not to hug her tightly, very stifling. "Do you still want to make me a nanny for the twins?" 

"No. I don't want to give Alan a chance to get closer to you, from now on you are mine and my woman. No man can come near you!" 

Dara pursed her lips after Erick's intention was revealed. "You want me to be an immortal singles? I need a lover." 

"good. Now that you're my lover, call me 'Dear'." Erick smiled because he was close to the ex who had hurt him. He was already unconcerned with the past bets, slowly his heart began to reconcile. 

"W-what?" Dara did not expect that she was now Erick's lover, stewing at the thought of whether the man's intentions were pure or indeed there was something else to avenge. 

"No, I'm just sitting here." Dara became awkward as well as nervous, how she could sit on the man's thigh, was very uncomfortable. 

"What's wrong with saying yes, come here." Immediately Erick pulled Dara's hand and forced to sit on her lap. "Well, this is much better." 

"You're not planning revenge, are you?" Dara looked at the man before her fully probing, both eyes slanted trying to see the truth in both of Erick's beads. 

"No. I've forgotten the past, my feelings are still the same as before." 

"But I hurt you." 

"I take that as a test of my love." 

"Do you not want to listen to my reasons, there are things you should know." 

"Hem. Say it!" 

"Initially I was asked and bet with friends because they needed money, they asked me to make you my lover during the appointed time. Actually, I've wanted to tell you my problem for a long time, because you were so kind and your love was pure and sincere. I don't have the heart and feel guilty about revealing the truth to you, but you already know first." 

Dara finally tells her everything that happened in the past, why she did such a heinous thing to Erick. 

"I felt very guilty at the time, but you hated me." Reveal the sad Dara while shedding tears. 

Erick was speechless hearing all Dara said, he did not expect that the bet was for the sake of overcoming difficulties. If only he knew earlier would have helped the difficulties of his lover, but all that there is a silver lining, where they can be lovers who turned out to love each other. He admitted, if the girl doesn't approach him maybe he doesn't know what love is and what it's like to be deep.

"Why didn't you tell me from the beginning, I must have helped you. Did you forget that your lover is a seven-descended rich man." Erick wiped the tears on Dara's smooth cheek gently. 

The atmosphere should be sad even made by the words of Erick, Dara not so sad but laugh. 

"You're so smart to change my mood," she'd love to pinch her new lover's waist from the old love that's springing back. 

"We forget everything and start opening new sheets, I want to introduce you to my grandmother." 

"But I already know your grandmother." 

"Indeed, but grandma doesn't know that you're now my lover and his future granddaughter-in-law." 

Instantly, Dara's cheeks met red, not expecting them to return to be lovers. "Don't you want to trouble me again?" 

"Huh, I'm so sorry for my childish attitude without finding out the truth." 

"So?" 

"You're my future wife, how about we get married next week?" 

"You kidding? We've just officially become lovers." 

"Why indeed? We've even known and been lovers before, I don't want that until Alan the rancid bothers you." Clearly Erick was without guilt, assuming everything was easy.

"I'm not ready yet" said Dara who said honestly, she did not want to be tied down in a relationship. Of course the trauma with his childhood that has no parents. 

"You're not seriously loving me?" 

"Not that, I'm not ready to hold the commitment to step into marriage. I hope you understand my decision, please don't take it personally."
