Felicity: Fairytale Of A Villainess

92

"I don't know how to do it, Alexander," Felicity shrieked as she rotated the oars in unrhythmic motions. The oars flapped on the sides of the boat, hitting the water with a splashing sound. From a distance, the boat looked like a giant bird with broken wings.

"You just need to move the blade through the water, with the blade going towards the stern of the boat," Alexander took over the oars from Felicity and gave practical teaching to Felicity. When he rowed the boat, it did not look like a broken gain bird anymore.

"I don't like the feeling of having somebody's life and death in my hand," instead of admitting that she was indeed very bad at something, Felicity just gave an excuse a poured her mouth.

"What are you saying," Alexander made a confused face and asked Felicity who was sulking on the other side of the boat.

"if I make mistakes we might die here," Felicity shook her head like a child and retorted. Her pink luscious lips were still puckered up in a small pout and when Alexander's eyes fell on it, he couldn't help but gulp audibly.

"I don't wanna be the reason for your death," seeing that he still did not understand what she meant, Felicity further explained. The more she talked, she looked like a little child.

It did not help that she wore a neon green t-shirt and white shorts with her hair up in a ponytail. Her hair was not as smooth and well-kept as all of the other days. Some baby hair was sticking on her clean forehead while the ones tied in the ponytail were so short that some had already loosened up from the ponytail and we were falling on the back of her slender neck. If anything, her obscure youthfulness that was hidden by her mature appearance on a normal day was undauntedly apparent today.

"that's strangely warm coming from you," Alexander burst into a fit of laughter to the point that he had to stop rowing and clench his stomach with his free hand.

Felicity stared at the laughing man in front of her and gave him a pointed look.

They happily went back to rowing in the lake and chatted to their heart's content. Today, Felicity woke up with Alexander ringing up her phone again and again. When she answered the call, he suggested that they should go row a boat today since the weather was a little warm but also windy. When she rejected his offer, he kept persistently ringing her up till she agreed to go with him.

Regardless of being dragged here, she did not regret joining him today. In fact, she liked being with him, she liked spending time with him.

Felicity was staring at Alexander without realizing but Alexander noticed and his face along with his neck turned bright red in an instant, he wanted nothing but to run and hide his face.

When Felicity snapped back to reality and found Alexander looking like a tomato, her mind first went to the fact that he was alone rowing the boat. She thought that he might be exhausted and hot because of the work he'd been doing.

"Won't your hands ache?" she asked with hesitation, she did not want to hurt his man's pride by telling him not to row the boat if he was so tired. Maybe she should take over and share his burden?

"They won't," Alexander shook his head and turned away shyly. But...only he knew he was shy.

They spent some time on the boat, threw water on each other and soon grew tired of it. Alexander pointed at a small basket behind Felicity and asked her to open it for him.

When she finally did, she couldn't help but grin widely.

"Bruschetta and egg and cheese sandwich," she excitedly took out the box and wanted to dig in right away when Alexander stopped her.

"There's a sanitizer at the bottom of the basket," Felicity picked up the sanitizer, sanitized her hands and picked up a piece of sandwich, sending it to her mouth.

As soon as she took a bite, she immediately knew then and there that Alexander had prepared it by himself. She often goes to his penthouse and had dinner with him and by now she has fully grasped the taste of his cooking. Alexander was not a chef level cook but he was indeed very good at cooking. Every time he would cook for her, it would not only fill her stomach but also her heart with satisfaction.

"Here," she picked up another piece of the sandwich and sent it to his lips. Alexander who was still rowing the boat using both of his hands looked at the sandwich and then at her slender and long fingers with trimmed nails which looked like a part of the food. He wanted to chew on it, lick it and eat it.

Felicity who did not know about the conflict that was going on inside Alexander's brain could only think about what she was seeing at this moment. His oynx black eyes stared into hers as he opened his pink lips and his white teeth bit into the sandwich. As soon as the teeth had sufficiently cut through the sandwich, a red tongue swiftly appeared and licked away the white sauce that had oozed out of the sandwich, onto those soft red lips.

"Shit sorry," a gasp left her mouth and her hands went weak resulting in the sandwich being dropped on his lavender sweatshirt, staining it with a bit of mayonnaise.

"It's fine," Alexander who had unintentionally seduced Felicity also flinched and moved back a little. His big hands grabbed hers that we were about to wife his sweatshirt with tissue paper and took over.

As soon as his hands touched Felicity's it sent a magnetizing chill into her body and her hands got covered in goosebumps.

Felicity quickly backed away and clenched her hand into a fist.

'what the hell is wrong with me,' she thought while staring widely at Alexander who had by now stopped paddling and was dabbing tissue on his sweatshirt, Felicity held a hand over her heart while her face grew bright red like his back then.
