No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 242

I was completely at sea for a moment, "What's wrong, you're not into this anymore? Or..."

His kiss cut off my words, not deep, just blocking my lips. After a moment, he murmured, "I'm all in."

I grinned, cheeks flushing. So did Ernest...

Though his tan skin made it less noticeable, the tips of his ears were undeniably red.

We stood there in silence, neither of us making a move to let go.

It was awkward, but neither of us wanted to break the connection.

It felt sticky sweet, yet we couldn't bear to part.

Wanting to get closer, yet too shy to make a move.

Were Ernest and I really going to stand here embraced all night?

No way, my legs were already stiff, and my back was starting to ache.

"Um..."

"Maybe we could..."

Ernest and I spoke at the same time, turning the moment even more bashful. As we fell silent again, both of us brewed what to say next, my phone rang.

Ernest let go, and I quickly fished out my phone to see Fanny calling. That woman, calling me back after ages and at such a moment too.

"Um, I gotta take this," I said, nudging my door open with my hand.

"Yeah, goodnight!" Ernest said for the second time.

"Oh, goodnight," I replied, turning swiftly and sticking out my tongue.

This wasn't my first rodeo with love, but my heart was racing, thumping uncontrollably.
