"Lexy.."

"Hmm?"

"Don't give your heart to anyone."

"Including you?"

"That's the exception" Steve raised Lexi's hand and brought it to his mouth.

"I know a lot of guys love you, but trust me, I'm the only one who's gonna love you even if you love another guy."

Steve stared intensely at Lexi's blushing iris spot. The man knew if his words had just touched the girl's recess. It's easy for Steve to read Lexi's mind. He was used to being surrounded by women who had hope in him. A plain girl like Lexi would not be able to hide her feelings properly. Although he knew that in the heart of the girl there was not only Steven Percy, but also Steven Ivarez, not necessarily make it big head. There is a lot to go through to reach the ending in their story. And that obstacle is really just about to begin.

This statement is actually too fast. He should not have made himself waver by announcing his feelings repeatedly to Lexi which would later lead to giving mortal hope to Lexi.

"Is this also a statement of love? I thought the statement on the toilet was just the wind and then the usual one came out of the mouth of a crocodile."

Steve thins his lips. His smile really makes opium.

"I'm just saying what I feel and I hope you remember it one day."

Yeah, someday. As Beth said, their story won't be easy. Lexi will know who she really is and Olivia won't stay put. Austin's problems will also affect their relationship. And to be sure, Lexi will feel lied to by everyone. Steve had prepared himself for the great disappointment that Lexi would later feel. Whether it was because of his lies or also the actions of his father who drove Steve to be what he is now.

If possible, Steve really does not want Lexi to be involved in the existing circle of problems. However, unlucky Lexi is an easy target for the opponent to knock them out.

"Did you say something similar to your boyfriend?"

"You are my lover."

"I'm not your boyfriend!"

"So you really slept with Harry?"

"What kind of discussion is this?"

"I also slept with Oliv, - with Oleshia for a matter of years. We're good partners in bed."

Lexi pulled her hand from Steven's grasp, the man held her back and further tightened his grasp.

"I'm a normal, immoral man. As you said having sexx is common among brengseek people like us. But do you know the difference between having sexx and making love?"

"none. Much the same. Both wrestled on the bed," Lexi replied in a taut tone. The girl was getting upset from burning jealous flames. Her pretty brain started imagining Steve making fun of Olivia.

"Having sexx, done just to channel passion, passion, lust or whatever the name. There is no feeling in it. Friends with benefit, one night stand, everything refers to that. I'm a normal guy, but I don't want to waste time dating women just to get one night's love. It's troublesome in my opinion and I can't guarantee their health" he joked as he found Lexi's face shuddering in disgust.

"How about making love?"

Lexi immediately bit her tongue as soon as the question slid from her mouth. Steve looked at her with a flash of amused eyes.

"Hm, it's night. You better go. I want to sleep."

"My question has not been answered." Again, Steve kissed the back of the girl's hand.

"I don't think it's necessary. I think both are the same."

Steve shook his head, "the act of making love involves love. Making love is an art formed by two people with deep feelings and emotions for each other. There is also attention commitment. It will feel different too. You want to try it?"

"No, thanks." Lexi turned her beautiful bead. "But, by the way, why are you explaining this to me? Are you afraid I misunderstood?"

Steve sat up immediately. Now the two face.

"Do you misunderstand?"

Lexi shook her head, "You're not my girlfriend. Why I misunderstood. Ten years ago I didn't even know you. I don't have the capacity to be jealous or judgmental."

Steve widened his smile at the wise answer coming out of Lexi's mouth. His two manics stared at the soft shaded iris that was able to make any man bend before him. Lexi is a rare girl in the midst of the onslaught of cheap women who are willing to do anything just to get pleasure, satisfaction. If Lexi were like most girls, she would open many farm stalls. In addition to being beautiful and rich, Lexi has always been able to comfort those around her. Lexi has a very fragile soft heart.

If Lexi opened her heart just a little, Steve was sure that many men would be heartbroken because the girl had already given a chance to one lucky man. However, until this moment Lexi did not give the slightest room to the man who hoped and dreamed of confronting her. Even Prince Harry, who has no disabilities, is reluctant to give Lexi a chance. Only Steve knows the reason behind Lexi's attitude. The answer is himself. Can it be big-headed?

"I'm sleepy."

"Sleep then," Steve helps Lexi lie down. However, the girl refused, Lexi sat back down.

"I'll sleep if you're gone."

"The thing is I'm not leaving."

"Why don't you go?"

"Because I'm gonna stay here for the night."

"Just kid!" Lexi jumped out of bed. He pulled Steven's hand out of his bed, dragging the man towards the balcony.

"Just because I let you sleep on your lap, doesn't mean I've forgiven you for breaking my heart in the tenth minute of our relationship. I need to take care of my heart because I have to admit to you that I'm a very stupid girl when it comes to dealing with love. I was heartbroken to the point of being a piece that was hard to put back together. With the wound he inflicted, I have not fully healed until now. I thought you were the antidote, but it turns out you just made me look worse. I feel like I'm having a dejavu. The girl you call your partner in bed, is the brother who also managed to defeat me in seizing the heart of the man who made me know what love is. This incident taught me that I had to solve my emotional problems first with my past before I opened a new page. If my feelings linked to him were truly controlled, perhaps I would be better prepared to accept the presence of others as well as the consequences. Either it ends in hurt or sorrow. My heart must be stronger first."

"You pushing me?"

"I reject you" Lexi said firmly. "Stay away from me because that woman will make me look bad. I don't want to be hated by anyone."

"I've been tied to you for a long time. But I realize, it's not easy to have you. However, if you ask me to stay away, it is something I will not be able to do even if I know that I am the most painful miss for you. I've waited too long as you. Actually, it's very hard for me."

Always, Steven left a lot of questions in Lexi's heart. Before the girl was able to digest what Steven said, the man had already jumped the balcony guardrail.
