~The next morning
Calvin and Allison entered his car after bidding everyone goodbye. They stayed in the back seat leaving the driver to stay at the front.
The driver suddenly started the car making Allison to fall on Calvin. She turned to look at him only to find him smirking. She wanted to get up from him but she didn't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing her shy, so she just leaned on him.
"You just made me realize something," He said smiling mischievously.
"What is it?" she asked curiously.
"You are always freer with me anytime we are driving back home," he said.
"How?" Allison asked confused.
"Remember when we visited the club?" he asked and she nodded. "You tried to stay away from me on our way going but..." he paused to face her and smirked in a way that is very familiar to her. No! He's definitely up to no good. "... you actually begged me to fuck you." he said with a low voice, staring intently at her.
The way he said it and how he looked at her made her clench her thighs.
"Fuck Calvin! I was drunk." She said while trying to hide her blush.
"I think you really wanted it, being drunk only gave you the confidence to ask for it," he teased.
Oh God! "You overestimate yourself. You are the one that wants me so bad that you made yourself believe such nonsense."
She said to look while shooting him a glare.
"I don't deny it. I want you. I have told you before," He said.
"Have you?" She asked suspiciously.
"Of course I have, I told you that I really want to fuck you."
Allison sprang up from him, she couldn't take it anymore. Her face was already so red. How could he say something like that so casually, and her stupid body is even reacting to his words. This guy is a pervert through and through.
Calvin suddenly laughed making her look at him in annoyance.
"Why are you shy now? you were so bold a moment ago," he said and Allison ignored him. She wasn't smiling and he thought that he had taken it too far. Fuck! What is wrong with him?
"Allison I'm sorry, I took it too far. I didn't mean to sound offensive," He apologized sincerely.
Allison looked at him, she still found it hard to believe that the same cold and menacing Calvin who had taken advantage of her, almost made her his play object was the same guy apologizing so sincerely for something she didn't even find really offensive. She had only been quiet because she was shy and she didn't want him to tease her again but he misread her, and now, he is apologizing with all sincerity. She wondered if Calvin has always had this good side but have been putting on a facade to scare people all those while.
Or maybe something bad happened to him for him to be so cold. She really felt like there are more to him and she felt the urge to uncover his mysteries.
"You don't have to apologize, I am not angry." She said to him and he smiled. With that, they drove in silence.
After driving for a while, Calvin asked the driver to stop, he went outside the car after telling Allison that he will be back soon.
He came back few minutes later with two bowls of ice cream and gave one to her. She smiled and collected it.
"I didn't know what you like, so I decided to get ice cream. Almost everybody likes it." he said
"Actually, it's one of my favourites." she said smiling. "Thank you."
"I'm glad you like it."
They continued the ride in silence, with Calvin busy on his phone and Allison munching on her ice cream. Calvin turned to look at her by reflex but regretted it immediately. Her lips was moist with ice cream and he really wanted to lick it off. He really want to suck and nibble on it. Staying in the same room with her without having to do anything has been torturous for him. He found every part of her body alluring. Infact she was a living temptation. He wanted her! he wanted her badly!

Allison and Calvin got to their house about twenty minutes later. Calvin opened the door and stretched out his hand to her, she was getting used to this gesture. She placed her hand in his and they entered the house.
About fifteen minutes later. Allison was in her room when Calvin knocked. She asked him to come inside. When he entered, she was surprised that he was already dressed for work.
"I will be leaving for work soon." He informed her.
"Oh!" It is like they are back to their normal routine, him going to work, her visiting her sister and her bar. She found it funny how she has practically left the bar for Kenny. She trusts him though.
"Then I will be going to visit my sister," she said. Her voice sounded sullen. She really wanted to see her sister but she hates the traumatizing experience hospitals bring. She hates the fear she always feels.
"I want to show you something before I go. Follow me," He said and she didn't hesitate to follow him. Calvin took her downstairs to the first floor and he opened the door to one of the rooms. Allison wondered what he was up to because she knows that nobody uses that room. She still followed him in anyway.
As soon as she stepped her feet inside, something she saw made her stop on her tracks. This can't be. She looked up to Calvin and met his smiling face and tears began to fall freely from her eyes. She immediately ran into Calvin's embrace and he returned it. This is the first time she was embracing him on her own but she couldn't care less.
Lying there in a large bed in the center of the room is none other but her sister Kylie. They were still some machines fixed on her but it wasn't as much as before.
"Since I figured that you are terrified of hospitals, I decided to bring her here instead. You won't have to go there anymore. Don't worry, she will get better soon, I got a very prominent doctor to treat her. They said she will be waking up soon, she just needs the presence of a loved one," He said while stroking her hair.
Allison hugged Calvin tighter. She has totally forgotten everything he did to her. She couldn't feel any hatred of him. She hasn't felt it for a while now, but she just confirmed it. At that moment, she felt grateful, whatever he did to her, it was definitely not worth all these. What if she never met him? Would Kylie still be alive? She might have been the only person remaining in her family, she might have even killed herself. Allison began to sob, she clutched Calvin's neatly ironed shirt and she cried.
Calvin just patted her back all the while telling her that it will be okay. Every of her sob felt like little pins piercing his heart, he didn't like seeing her cry but maybe it was for the better. Maybe she should cry out all her pain. If he had the power to take her pain away, he would do it without thinking twice. He felt a strong urge to protect her, and that he was going to do. He already told his father not to go near her if he doesn't want his beloved wife dead. He also told his father not to bother asking someone to do his dirty job for him because if anything happens to her, he will come for him. The fear in his father's eyes told him that they won't be disturbed for now.
"Thank you Calvin," Allison said raising up her head to look at him with wet eyelids. "This is the best thing anyone has ever done for me." She wasn't just referring to what he did for Kylie, she was also thankful that he was there for her.
He just kissed her forehead without saying anything, as if he was trying to convey everything has wants to say through the gesture.
She pulled away from him after some time, she looked down at his shirt and she felt guilty.
"Sorry I ruined your shirt," She apologized.
He chuckled. "It's nothing. I will change it."
Allison leaned her forehead into his chest and took a deep breath. He really smells nice. She pulled away again and looked at him.
"I thought you had an emergency at work," she said seriously.
Calvin just scratched the back of his head with his hand. He had run all the way home due to the emergency but here he was wrapped around the fingers of the little woman he had practically imprisoned in his home.
"I do."
"Shit! go get changed." Allison said and pushed him out of the room.
Calvin quickly changed his shirt and came back.
"I will be going now," he said, and he handed her a flower he had hidden with one hand behind him. "I will see you later." he said and left.
Allison stared down at the flower in her hand, she recognized it, and she knows the meaning. It's a white clover and it means 'think of me'. Allison felt her heart skip a beat. She smiled brightly.
He was slowly paving his way into her heart.
