Kiara frowned when she noticed Zane wasn't kissing her back. She was about to pull away when he wrapped his arms around her waist and deepened the kiss.
As they pulled away, they both simultaneously heaved a sigh of contentment.
“Sorry, I was shocked…I didn't expect you to agree" He murmured as rested his forehead on hers.
She had shocked herself as well. Never did she think she'd be in this position with Zane again after what happened.
“It's just seven days and I'm doing this so both of us can try not to kill ourselves before this trip ends. Plus, I know I'm going to get free stuff" Zane chuckled then leaned down and placed another kiss on her lips.
“You don't know how long I've been waiting to be able to kiss you whenever I want" He murmured and was about to kiss her again when she pulled away.
“Erm… maybe we should take things slow?" He smiled then nodded.
“Okay, if that's what you want" An awkward silence passed between them. They didn't know what to say to each other as everything suddenly felt… new.
“We don't have to be awkward with each other, do we?" Zane questioned as his hand grabbed hers and began drawing circles on her front palm.
He knew she said she wanted to take things so but he wanted to make sure he wasn't dreaming. He hadn't expected her to agree to this and her agreeing just felt like something that happened in his dreams these days and he wanted it to be real this time. Having her to himself for seven days felt like pure Bliss and he was going to show her what she missed out on after cheating on him.
“Why don't you go take a bath and I'll eat dinner?" He chuckled at her words.
“What, are you trying to say I smell?" She nodded with a sly smile.
“Yes" He rolled his eyes then placed a kiss on her cheeks.
“I'll be right back. Can you wait for me?" She furrowed her eyebrows.
“Why? The food will get cold" He smiled.
“I'll try my best to be fast but I'd like to watch you eat. Remember? That used to be one of my favorite things to do" Her cheeks turned red as she remembered how Zane would stop eating just to watch her eat. She had always thought it was weird and when she asked him, his exact words were;
“I just wanted to make sure you ate well and didn't choke" She still found his reply odd but she got used to his stares and it turned into a tradition of theirs.
“Okay, I'll wait" He smiled then walked towards the room. She let out a breath she hadn't known she was holding as soon as she heard the door close behind him.
She hated the way her body, her mind, her heart were reacting to his touch, his words and his presence.
