Chapter 110: Their Closeness.-2

My heart jumps a little, I don’t need to look at the phone. I know it’s him.

I stand still for a second in the middle of the kitchen, feeling that little nervous tingle run through

my body.

“Don’t worry,” I murmur to myself.

But I’m not.

I walk over to the sink and wash my hands quickly again. Then I put my hands in my hair, adjusting

it a little.

I take a deep breath, walk to the door… But I stop before I get there.

The reflection of the glass of the oven gives me back my image.

I lean slightly toward it and arrange a strand that falls near my face.

I smooth the fabric of my blouse with my hands, breathe again.

My heart is still beating a little faster than normal. And then I walk to the door.

I take the handle, and open it.

When I open the door, there he is. Ethan.

And for a second everything else is gone, standing in front of me, holding a bottle of wine in one hand. The light from the hallway falls on his face and when he sees me… His eyes shine in a way that makes something warm move inside my chest.

I smile at him. A smile that comes out completely on its own.

He takes a small step towards me and leans in just to leave a short kiss on my lips.

It’s soft, brief. But enough to make my heart race a little more.

“I didn’t know what you were going to prepare,” he says, lifting the bottle slightly, “so I brought this.”

I look at the wine and then look at him again.

“It wasn’t necessary,” I say with a small smile.

I take the bottle from his hands.

He enters the apartment and I step aside to let him pass. When I close the door behind us, the scent of its perfume reaches me.

That clean, masculine, familiar smell. For a moment I stand there, breathing it in without realizing

Then we walked together to the kitchen.

I leave the bottle of wine on the counter while he looks around with quiet curiosity, as if he were observing every little detail of the place.

“It smells great,” he says.

I smile a little as I finish arranging what I was preparing.

Then he gets a little closer to the inn.

“Is there anything you want me to help you with?”

I shake my head softly.

“No, that’s fine. You can only sit down.”

I point to the table, but he doesn’t move.

“Don’t insist,” he says with a small smile. “Let me help you set the table then.”

He raises an eyebrow, as if he already knows I’m going to give up.

And the truth… I do.

“Okay,” I say finally.

I approach the cabinets to reach some plates, I stand on tiptoe and try to reach them, but they are

a little far away. I can only brush them with my fingertips.

Don’t let it be noticed that I use them infrequently…

I stretch a little more.

“Okay,” I murmur to myself, “just…”

My fingertips barely touch the edge. A little more… Just a little more.

Then I hear his voice behind me.

“All right?”

“Yes… All right,” I answer as I try to reach it. “Just trying…”

But I don’t finish the sentence, because suddenly I feel his presence much closer.

Too close.

The warmth of his body appears behind mine, my breathing barely stops when I see his hand

appear next to mine.

His fingers pick up the plates with ease, as if it represented no effort for him.

He lowers them naturally… but he does not move away, he does not move away… It’s still there.

Behind me.

His chest barely brushing my back, the warmth of his body enveloping me.

His scent reaches me again… that perfume of his that I already recognize even before I see him

I close my eyes for a moment, just a second. Because that closeness awakens something inside

Something warm, something that runs through my skin slowly.

My hands hold the plates now, but he’s 9

still there. So close I can feel his breathing.

Then one of his hands goes down, slowly. Until he stops at my waist and when his fingers surround

that place… My whole body bristles.

A small shudder runs down my spine, the air seems

6me denser between us.

I don’t say anything, I don’t move. I only feel the heat. The closeness… His steady hand on my

waist.

And that intense feeling of having him there… stuck to me.

I am still standing in front of the cabinet, with the dishes now in my hands… but without moving.

Because Ethan is still behind me. His body so close that I can practically feel the heat go through the fabric of my blouse.

Then tilt his head a little towards my ear.

His voice comes in a soft, low whisper.

“Why is it so hard for you to get help?”

The sound of his voice so close makes my heart flutter inside my chest.

I feel his fingers slowly climbing up to my hair. He carefully pulls them away from my shoulder, caressing them with a softness that makes me close my eyes again.

I take a deep breath. My chest rises and falls more quickly.

“It’s just that I-“I begin to say.
