Leap OF Fate novel Chapter 28

Because Justin was driving, Serene had no choice but to take the front passenger seat. She felt uneasy and kept shifting in her seat. She did not know where to place her hands. She placed them in her lap, then crossed her arms across her chest, then placed her interlaced fingers on her lap and twiddled her thumbs.

Justin missed none of these. He’s in a good mood and could not help but have a tiny smirk on his lips. His fascination with her kept growing as he observed her.

Serene could feel Justin’s eyes on her. She stole a quick glance in his direction and saw that indeed his eyes were on her. Was that a smirk on his face? She wanted to roll her eyes at him, but his gaze met hers. The longer their eyes stayed locked, the more she felt uncomfortable. After a while, she saw Justin leaning forward, his face moving closer and closer to her.

Is he going to kiss me? Oh gosh, what do I do? Why will he kiss me? Justin’s face was just a few centimeters from her. She could see the almost invisible pores on his face and smell his intoxicating scent. She felt his breath fan her cheeks.

Oh gosh, here it is. Serene held her breath and closed her eyes and waited for the kiss. One second… two seconds… five seconds.

She opened her eyes to see that Justin was no longer leaning towards her. Rather, he was looking at her with amusement written all over his face. “Seatbelt.” He simply said.

“Oh. Thank you.” Serene bowed her head as she felt her blood suddenly rushing to her cheeks. Oh my gosh, what did I just do? She inwardly chastised herself. She wanted to just evaporate and disappear from his sight.

Justin cannot help but chuckle, then starts the car engine. Serene raised her head and finally gave him the eye roll she thought he deserved.

“About our last meeting,” Justin finally broke the awkward silence. He gave her a quick look before returning his eyes to the road. “I did not know about Chester and Bryan’s plans.” He glanced at her waiting for her response but did not get any so he continued, “Only after talking to them did everything that happened in Coast City make sense to me.”

“I’m sorry if I made you feel harassed.” He gave her a smile to which Serene simply answered with a nod.
