A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143

Zoe was attending Jay’s university graduation ceremony when she realized that she was in love with him.

She was so jealous when every classmate of his seemed to profess their love to Jay.

Hence, on a dark, windy night, she stood at the main entrance of Levine Manor, waiting for Jay, who was out having dinner with Bob and the rest.

The instant she saw his towering figure alighting from his car, she threw all caution to the wind and leaped into his arms.

Jay stank of alcohol and only that–he never used deodorant or perfume.

But even if he sweated all over after playing basketball, she would find him carrying a sense of freshness from head to toe.

“What is it? Don’t tell me it’s a nightmare. You’re an adult now–Umph.” Jay asked her very softly, and his eyes suddenly widened.

Even Zoe could not remember what gave her such courage, but she had wrapped her arms around his neck and stood on her toes to plant a kiss squarely on his lips.

There was even tongue involved–the scent of alcohol in his mouth was strong and it left her dazed.

Even so, she knew very well what she was doing and why.

And it was when she really kissed Jay that she realized how deeply in love with him she was. It had been going on for so long that she did not even know when it began!

He was not the most successful man she had ever met, but she lost her sense of self loving him.

The kiss lasted for so long, but she was inexperienced since it was her first kiss–if anything, it was a physical reaction.

She left his lips swollen when she let go of him, and things got awkward soon after.

As Zoe’s heart pounded like a drum over her chest, she tried to speak, to declare her love.

She did not want to wait, or Jay would soon be someone else’s.
