Be Your Own Spring novel Chapter 90

She looked at the trick shot I made and a full blown smile plastered over her face knowing I missed.

She quickly went over and picked the empty bottle from the ground and came back to sit with me, she made her trick shot from where we were sitting and cheered loudly when she made it.

If it meant purposely losing to see that smile on her face then so be it.

She looked at me cheerfully, her tears all forgotten, "DID YOU SEE THAT!?!?"

There it was my flinch, her scream, her cheeriness and my smile.

All it took for her to smile was a trick shot when I had been trying to coo to her and make her smile.

Now, don't be jealous of a fucking trash bin, Kezr.

I grabbed her hand in mine and she looked at it and launched herself on me.

"Iam sorry, Kezr.. Iam sorry, I was rude to you, I don't know why I did what I did... I like you... You know that.... Right?" She asked pulling her head away from my neck and looking at me.

I leaned forward and kissed her crown, "I know that, I like you too Zelli, but... mind telling me why you were acting the way you were.... Was it me?... Iam sorry if it was... I didn't want to hit him, I-"

She looked at me and raised an eyebrow at me, with a look saying, 'seriously?'

I sighed and pushed her head into my neck again. "Okay.. Maybe.. I did want to hit him.. But-" her giggles filled my ear making me smile, "Iam sorry if I scared you with my a-"

She cut me off and kissed my neck, letting her lips linger there for a while, I was so close to moaning when she took her lips off and cupped my cheeks.

"Kezr... I am not mad at you.." I sighed relifingly knowing she was not mad at me.

"It's just that.. Mark said some things that were true and he was close to hitting me, that just awoked some pretty bad memories from the Jones, and I guess, I- I don't know, I just thought you heard them and probably thought he was right so I avoided the pain by being rude to you and kept crying... Iam sorry, I lo-like you"

lo-like?

I swear to God she was about to say love you, did I hear it correct?

I was about to ask her when she kissed my lips suddenly startling me, causing the both of us to fall back down on the couch.

She was kissing me gently, so I took charge and slipped my tongue inside her mouth, feeling her crevice and curves.

"Beautiful" I said and kissed her again.

2 weeks later:

"I can't fucking believe you made me wear this hideous outfit." Kezr complained being the baby he is.

I just rolled my eyes and continue connecting my phone from his car's bluetooth.
