The Best Friend's Contract novel Chapter 29

Aidan

''We can do this. How hard can it be?'' Kenna says as she takes another sip of her wine before closing the door behind us with her foot, leaving us all by ourselves in a suite. ''We're both adults in this situation. We're not kids anymore,'' She continues to speak.

''Exactly. I'm not doubting us in any way possible,'' I reply. My eyes wander around to look at her as she chuckles, showing off her perfectly straight teeth; knowing Kenna, the only way she would act like this is when she's drunk. She's never good in handling alcohol and that's maybe because she doesn't drink much in her past years.

She giggles which causes both of my eyebrows to furrow. Kenna would never giggle because she's just not that type. To my surprise, she starts to wrap her arms around my neck before pulling me closer as she leans her head back into laughters, ''I mean . . . come on, Aidan. It's not like we haven't done this before—we've been with different people. You've been with a lot of different people and you're very experienced,'' She runs her index finger across my cheek.

''Why, thank you, Kenna. Women do tend to compliment my skills,'' My lips curve up into a smile as we start to walk towards the middle of the suite. ''I'm surprised to see you admit how experienced I am when it comes to things like this,'' I add, slowly.

With both of her blue eyes looking deeply into mine, ''Don't bring up other women in front of me. Starting from now . . . I'll be one to judge,'' She smirks, cutely.

Most of the time, drunk women are very unpleasing to my sight but for some reason, Kenna's drunk state appears much more pleasing. The way her eyes glint with calmness as she shows her true self, it's something I don't mind seeing every day because she's much more at ease and stress-free than she has always been.

''Why is that?'' My voice came out more like a whisper.

She glances down at my lips as she cups my face, causing myself to place both of my hands on her waist. ''Do you see this ring on my finger? Till death do us part, baby.'' The words slip out of her mouth which causes both of us to laugh, uncontrollably as we let go of each other.

Her laughter seem to fill the silent room as she leans her head back and slowly letting herself drop onto the ground, running her fingers through her loosely curled hair. My body has somehow reduced the amount of stress from the sudden outburst of laughters, letting ourselves lay lose.

''We're terrible at role-playing. Oh my god,'' She continues to laugh as she places a hand on her cheek, feeling warmth radiating.

That's another fact about Kenna, whenever she's drunk or has too much to laugh about, her cheeks would warm up. She'll start to feel warmth radiating from her cheeks and they start to turn slightly red—it's one of the things that she hates about herself but I'm very fond of it. She thinks of it as . . . a flaw when I think of it as adorable.

''It's now or never. We have to do it,'' I say and she looks up at me, our eyes are staring deeply into one another. Just like that, I'm already slowly making my way towards her without breaking our gaze and as soon as I'm close enough, I let our faces remain inches apart.

''I'm asking you again . . . do you want this?'' I ask, my eyes glancing down at her lips as they pucker to the front before curving up into a smile. ''Do you really want this? There's no turning back from what we're going to do,'' I add, leaning closer and closer near her neck.

She purposely brush her nose against mine, ''What's the point of waiting, anyway? Sooner or later, it's going to happen. It might as well happen now,'' She whispers, pulling onto my tie.
