Leilani.

Contrary to the kind of life I’ve been living for the past few years, the last couple of days have been quiet and peaceful.

I simply just went to work, worked, came back, hung out most evenings with Maya; Rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat.

And all in all, life was good.

The samples I’d collected from Agnes and taken in for DNA testing had turned out to be faux, in the sense that according to the doctors, they had no hair follicles attached to them, making them impossible to be used… but most times, whenever I thought about it, it wasn’t the samples I get worried about, it was her.

It was the fact that I haven’t been able to reach her in days. The fact that it has been

radio silent on her end.

I set down my tray of baked cookies and turned away from my oven when these thoughts swarmed my mind and in worry, I took off my hand gloves and walked out of the kitchen, successfully forgetting about the cookies I’d just spent the last three hours baking.

My body felt hot as well. So hot. And at first, I tried attributing it to the fact that I’ve been cooking for so long, but when I still wouldn’t get any better even after leaving the kitchen and standing so close to the AC, I then began to worry.

I was breaking out in sweat and panting uncontrollably. Even my once stable limbs had begun to shake so bad, I could no longer hold myself up.

I thought I was simply worried and scared for Agnes but this was far from that.

This felt weird… dark.

It felt like those times I’d shifted or nearly shifted.

The sound of my doorbell ringing snapped me out of my reverie and by the time I managed to drag myself to the door to pull it open, I wasn’t so surprised to find Jarek there, leaning against the door frame with a small hamper in his hands. If anything, I was expecting him.

His eyes slowly roved along my body as he took me in. His voice was gentle as he said; “How do you still look so stunning in an apron?”

His words made me blush slightly and I beamed a smile at him, one that made my heart flutter when he returned it and then he pulled me into a hug.

“Leilani…”

I closed my eyes. Goddess. I would’ve moaned if I could. I buried my face into his chest as his warm heavy arms wrapped themselves around me protectively, squishing my body against his.

For a moment, I forgot all about my discomfort from earlier. I forgot all about my shaking limbs and my worry for Agnes as I simply let myself get lost in the warmth of his embrace.

I do not know for how long I stayed there, letting him squeeze me like a squishy toy, but when he finally let go, I felt better… a lot lighter. I whispered; “Thank you,”

And with that, I walked into the house with him following closely behind me.

We chatted through the evening, whilst binge watching the series ‘Lucifer’, and eating amidst all things. However, as soon as we got to the point where Chloe got in trouble with Cain, my heart plummeted again as thoughts of Agnes swarmed my mind, and I couldn’t stop myself from telling him about my worries.

An expression akin to frustration swept across his face before he turned away, but in those few seconds where I had seen his face, he looked so torn and so pained, one would think he was in physical pain. He whispered;

“I’ll send someone to check on her. And I’ll also look for someone to get the DNA samples you need.”

“How?”

“I have my ways.” He answered vaguely, and with that, slowly rose to his feet, pulling me along with him.

A small smile danced across my lips as I watched him switch the movie into a music station, and as a slow song played, he began to move slowly in sync with it, his eyes lighting up as he turned to me and whispered

“Dance.”

But I didn’t know how to dance.

Goddess, I never learned to.

My face began to heat up when his eyes on my face wouldn’t leave. His gaze was intense and hot, making my knees go slightly weak.

When I still wouldn’t dance, he wrapped his arm around my waist, and with the other holding my hand and guiding me slowly, we began to glide across the room.

But it wasn’t my very awful dance that made the uncomfortable. It wasn’t the way I danced like I had two left legs that made my face so hot and so red, I was certain that I resembled a tomato right now.

It was him.

It was the way his hand stayed on my hips. The way his fingers laced between mine. The way his warm breath tickled the side of my face.

Goddess, it was the way his body scorched mine… the way his heat enveloped me, and how perfect.. just how perfect his chest felt whilst pressed into mine.

I closed my eyes and tipped my head back, allowing the soft music to float around us like a cloud of smoke. Gosh, this was my first time dancing but this was the best dance I’ve ever had in my life.

It was one I wanted to repeat over and over again.

“You should dance more, you’re a natural…” Jay’s voice seeped into my ears and I simply nodded because for some reason, words had failed me.

I simply wanted to be in his arms, dancing without speaking,

That is until he spoke again. He muttered; “You’re beautiful.”

I blushed. “Thank you.”

A small smile graced my face as I looked up into his beautiful eyes, and for a minute, it felt like I was getting lost in it… like I was drowning in it.

But I didn’t want to be saved.

Again, I was snapped out of my head when his fingers brushed over my bottom lip, and with a small voice, he asked;

“Can I kiss you?”

I gulped.

“Can I?”
