Chapter 282: You are mine.
The cool night breeze on Earth was one of the pleasures Matt could enjoy; here, he could enjoy it at every moment. But somehow, it felt different when it was daytime than when it was nighttime.
Perhaps the large number of people moving around during the day continued to make the night breeze more enjoyable.
Still, the minutes continued to pass, and a few people would walk by them, talk about a few things, and then leave.
That made Alice sigh. She looked down at her waist, which was still firmly gripped by Matt. And although she liked the feeling, she eventually felt the need to pull away.
"Matt... If we keep this up, everyone is going to misinterpret our relationship. There are already several who have said that we're in a forbidden relationship..." She said softly, trying to let go.
But all she felt was Matt tighten his grip a little tighter.
"So what?" he asked softly.
She was surprised and looked up at him. "Huh?"
Matt then turned to stare at her. Their faces were very close to each other, but neither of them pulled away.
"I repeat, so what does it matter if they talk about that? What's the relationship you think they're going to misunderstand?"
Alice was stunned, not knowing how to answer that question. In fact, she really doesn't care what people say about her. She only said that for him since she knew he didn't like her.
That was why she averted her face, not knowing how to answer.
But suddenly, she felt herself being pushed backward and hit a wall. Matt was the one who pushed her and put one of his arms on the wall, locking her in that position, while his other hand grabbed her beautiful face, making her have no choice but to look at him.
But, though she was stunned, she could not speak, for Matt would not allow her to.
"What can they misunderstand? I honestly don't care, Alice. Ever since that day, you decided to reveal your feelings to me like that, I haven't been able to forget you."
"Even though there are too many things on my mind lately, and every time I feel like I'm going down a path of no return, it's gotten to the point where I don't care."
"What does it matter if I get lost? I'm going to get back on track; something like feelings aren't going to control me like that. I'm going to accomplish all my goals. I will look for Charlotte, and I will find her, then I will bring her to my side because she belongs to me."
"And in the same way, I will carry you in my arms all this time. Do you think you can run away now? No. Every time a man comes near you, I want to murder him because you can't look at anyone else; you are mine." After saying all this, Matt brought his face close to hers and kissed her gently.
"Do you understand?" He asked after pulling away a little.
But all his words had caused Alice an incomparable shock. Each echoed in her mind as she tried to comprehend their meaning.
But, his final words were the most tremendous.
Her mind was suddenly filled with those words echoing over and over again... -You are mine.
Words she hadn't expected to hear from Matt, let alone at this time and place. Even less did she expect him to decide to kiss her.
She stood stiffly. She couldn't even react; those words kept echoing in her mind, making it impossible for her to move.
At those moments, a melodious voice came from inside.
"Young Students, please, I hope you will enjoy the Dance Ceremony. We will play the most famous songs in the world. Some will be soft; some will be moving. How you dance to them will be up to you. I only hope that, if you want to share the first song, you will do so with the person who stole your heart if he or she is present." The woman speaking was a well-known singer of different types of songs.
Her melodious voice allowed everyone to relax, and suddenly, that song began to play. The sound of the instruments came first.
Matt smiled. 'An earth-like song, eh? Interesting.' Matt thought and grabbed Alice by the waist.
"Let's dance to this one, Alice." He said, pulling her into the room when she was in a daze.
Suddenly, they were in the middle of the vast dance floor, where many couples were dancing smoothly.
Some were nervous, calmer, and some looked annoyed; no one knows why.
Still, when Matt and Alice (or Zen and Aelia) entered the dance floor, everyone was stunned.
"Hey, aren't they siblings?"
"Are the rumors true?"
"Are they in some kind of forbidden relationship?"
"What's it to you? Focus on dancing; you're doing it wrong!"
Many people began to talk and murmur back and forth; some couldn't help but criticize the forbidden relationship, but others didn't care. Some tried to criticize, but their partners scolded them.
The murmurs on and under the dance floor were too many to count.
Still, Matt grabbed Alice by the waist and pulled her close to his body. "Do you know how to dance?" He asked.
It was then that Alice returned to her senses, but when she thought to answer something about what he had told her earlier, she realized that her body was moving a bit robotically.
"If you don't know, I'll guide you." Matt whispered in her ears.
It was then that she realized she was in front of many people, dancing with Matt.
That surprised her, but it made her feel so extremely good that her happiness radiated from one moment to the next.
Taking advantage of the fact that she was dancing badly, for what she was doing was being led by Matt, she reached up to his ears.
"If you kiss me again, I'll learn to dance like a pro. Then I can follow in your footsteps." She said, smiling softly.
Matt was surprised by her proposal but smiled. "An improvement after a reward, huh? Good." He spoke.
He immediately moved to her lips and kissed her softly, which took Alice by surprise.
She hadn't expected him to do it in front of so many people.
That would give the whisperers a lot to talk about, but...
Alice's happiness radiated like a light bulb. 'Ahhh, Matt... You feel so good, please make me yours!' But, despite what her mind was screaming, she kept her word.
She immediately stopped moving so robotically and began to move more naturally.
