Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 319

Neither spoke for a while

Kira looked out the window and couldn’t recognise the road they were on. Where are we going

This didn’t look like the way home

You’ll know it when we get there,was Austyn’s terse reply

Kita knitted her brows

What was with the mystery

What new game was he playing now

But she knew she wasn’t going to get a straight answer out of him

So Kira just gave up and closed her eyes

The afternoon heat was making her drowsy

She settled in for a long nap

It was nice at first, with the aircon blowing cool air on her face and the steady hum of the engine acting as a soporific

But Kira suddenly felt unable to breathe, like someone had placed a giant boulder on her chest

This Shall Be Our First Date 

Kina never learned how to swim

Her father tried to teach her when she was a kid, but she would just clutch the floatie and cry whenever she was put in the water

Eventually, her father gave up 

Now the same feeling returned

The same feeling of being underwater, of drowning

There was no air

She couldn’t breathe

She opened her mouth and gasped for air, but something took the opportunity to slip inside

The Intruder took possession of her mouth and forced her tongue to respond 

It was taking air away from her lungs

Kira’s eyes snapped open

She saw black, thick eyelashes

Then Austyn’s face

Kira shrank back and slapped his arm, hard 

Austyn drew back and let go of her

Kira sucked in a big lungful of air

You almost suffocated me!” 

Austyn swept his eyes over her parted lips

He felt thirsty

You were out like a log. I couldn’t wake you up.” 

This was the only method he could think of 

A method he enjoyed immensely

You could’ve just given my shoulders a shake, Kira thought. There was no need to stick your tongue down my throat.‘ 

But she decided there was no point getting into an argument over the best wakeup method 

Where are we?She looked out the window. 

Carpark‘ 

I can see that.She rolled her eyes. Carpark of what place?” 

Austyn was already out of the car. Come on,” 

Kira stumbled out of the car, staggering in her high heels

Austyn 

yn had to give her a hand 

Let’s go

To where

Two minutes later, Kira stepped out of the lift and found herself back in the familiar shopping mall 

What were they doing back here

Austyn brought her to the shoe shop

He went up to a sales clerk Pick out a pair of flats for her

The sales clerk recognised Austyn, who had been here just a couple of hours ago 

Yes, sir

you to try on.‘ 

She showed Kira to an ottoman. Miss, please have a seat. I’ll bring out our latest flats for yo Kira sat down

The lady returned a minute later with three different pairs of flats

She was about to squat down in front of Kira when Austyn stopped her. ‘Let me 

He took the shoes Troncher

Kira watched Austyn get down on one knee, just like he did outside the hospital

Her brain went into overdrive

Austyn was acting so out of character

He removed her high heels and helped her slip on a pair of dark fuchsia satin almondtoe flats

Each shoe had a square crystal buckle encased in a gunmetal frame 

Does it fit?he asked. Do you like it

His voice was low and deep

When they were in bed together, he’d sometimes use the same voice and ask, How about this? Do you like it?” 

Then he would go on to push her over the edge

Kira blinked 

She wriggled her toes and moved her feet. They’re nice. Comfy. No chaling 

Do you want to try the other pairs?‘ 

No, no, this is fine. They’re perfect.” 

We’ll get this pair. Austyn handed his credit card to the sales clerk 

Kira left the shop holding a bag containing her high heels

What are we doing?” she asked. ‘Or rather, what are you doing

Austyn kept on walking ahead, hands in his pants pockets. Haven’t you figured it out yet? We’re on a date

Kira’s mouth was open in the shape of the letter 0” 

If she opened it any wider, her jaw was going to drop 

A date
