C74 seventy four

She raised her eyebrows. "My dream is to become a teacher, and then you'll just resign because of your jealousy,"

I pouted. "Sorry, I didn't mean it,"

"Do you miss her already? Huh?" I asked again.

"What miss? Are you going crazy? Stop bothering me with your questions," she irritably said before rolling her eyes.

I chuckled. "But you also ask me a lot,"

"Of course, I'm just curious! Can you even stop asking?!" She complains

"Are you regretting because Aunt and Uncle used to be strict with your suitors before?" I asked.

She's fun to tease, Even though her eyebrows are furrowed and her cheeks are turning red with annoyance.

"Probably not!" She replied annoyed.

I chuckled. "Why does the tone of your speech seem so helpless? Did you miss them?" I teased.

She gave me a glare, so I smirked before pulling her into a side hug. She tried to pull away, but I kissed her forehead and tightened the hug. She looked irritated because of what I said, Just like a kid who's been accused of being wrong though it's not true.

"You know, you're getting annoying! You've been acting stupid since earlier!" She scornfully said.

I laughed. "Just kidding, I know I'm the one you missed,"

I bit my lower lip, Why do I feel giddy like an idiot!

She lightly squeezed my biceps, I don't know why, but it seems like she missed squeezing my arms more!

"Maybe you're the only one I missed. Imagine, Four years without you," She said, softly.

I sat on the bed and held her by the shoulders before hugging her. I pulled her waist close to me, I don't know why I love to hold her by the waist.

"Four years without you by my side.. four years without the girl I love so much.. four years without the girl I want to spend all my time with.. four years without the girl who makes me happy.. four years without the girl who made me realize that in love, you'll get hurt, but the pain you felt is worth it because you love that person anyway.. because when you truly love, you'll get hurt.. when you love, you can't not get hurt.. because if you didn't get hurt, you didn't learn," I softly advised like an expert, huh?

She became quiet because of what I said. I lifted her chin to look at me. It's like my gaze on her innocent face made my heart beat faster. I bit my lip before closing my eyes and placing my right hand lightly on my chest because I felt my heart racing with joy. Because damn, I really love her.

"Baby," I softly said.

I pressed my forehead against hers. She immediately stroked the back of my head, I closed my eyes.

"Why?" She asked.

"Why did you leave me? Why? What did I do to you? I know you were hurt then but you wouldn't be hurt if there wasn't a reason. Now that we're okay again, I still want to know the real reason why you left? Why did you leave me?"

I felt her hand pause on my back as if surprised by my question. I just really want to know.. Why did she leave me? What reason does my girl have to leave me.. the girl who strengthens me?

I heard a loud, deep sigh. "Do you remember the restaurant near Angel and Mawi's old apartment?"

I straightened up while still holding her on both sides.

I nodded. "Yes, It's C.E Restaurant and Liane's husband is the owner,"

Because that's the only restaurant near them.

She avoided my gaze. "I went there the day before I left," she bit her red lower lip.

I tilted my head, processing what she said.

"Then?" I curiously asked.

I glanced at her lips before she looked away. Using both hands resting on her sides, I pulled her between my thighs, so she was surprised and held onto both my shoulders. She lowered her gaze at me, along with a swallow. I raised an eyebrow.

"Then?" I repeated.

She sighed. "I was there, I heard your conversation there,"

I looked at her with furrowed brows, She bit her lower lip again,

"Did you get mad because I didn't take you with me? I thought it wasn't important.. I mean baby, It's a family dinner. Why didn't you tell me you wanted to go to the family dinner with me? I thought you wouldn't agree and it was just a brief moment," I said, sweetly.

"That's not it," she avoided my gaze. "I thought you were the one who got Liane pregnant," scratching her head.

I couldn't help but grin at what she said. I held her arm on my neck and looked into her eyes.

"Baby, we have wasted our four years with the wrong thing you thought," I pouted.

Damn, Four years.. I almost went crazy!

"I don't know!" she grumbled.

"Baby.. If we have a problem again, just don't leave suddenly. You should understand what really happened before you jump to conclusions. It wasn't healthy in our relationship."

She nodded. "Yes, I won't do it again." she said while playing with my hair.

"Good, if so, baby."

I held her by the shoulders and kissed her lightly. I slowly held her waist again. I squeezed her waist so she beat me in the arm.

"Stop it," she scolded me.

I grinned at her scolding that I know she also likes. My hand became naughty. I laid my hand on her stomach.

"Cyrus," she nervously said.

"Hmm, why?" I innocently said.

I felt my hair stand on end as she leaned against my arm. I looked at her before biting my own lip.

As perverted as it may seem, but I couldn't help but smell the fragrance of her skin, I even heard her sigh that made my breath heavier.

"Baby.. You smell so good," I pulled her closer to her waist.

I stared at her pink lips that caused me to repeatedly swallow, My gaze dropped to my lips. My heart beat faster and my chest tightened, I tightened my grip on her waist because I'm getting dizzy. My breathing started to quicken.

I swallowed hard. "Stop looking at me like that, baby." I looked away.

Instead of following me, she approached even more. We were inches apart, I could feel her breath on my cheek.

This is torture!

It's like time stopped along with my breathing gradually feeling her soft palm sliding down my arm. I felt my hair stand on end and there's something pounding in my chest because of the intense pounding. I looked at her watching her hand now becoming playful and also sliding down my chest. My thoughts became a mess because of her every touch on my body.

"Baby, as soon as possible stop doing what you are doing. I'm NOT a saint," I almost whispered.

She didn't hesitate to sit on my lap facing me. Damn!

"B-baby," I restrained.

She draped her arm around my neck which made me shiver.

"Why?" there's a hint of seduction in her tone.

She rested her chin on my shoulder and kissed my jaw again.

Her

hot kiss sent electricity through my body. It seemed like the rope holding me back was cut.

Who wouldn't hold back from what she's doing?! I felt my pants tightening! And it's her fault! I looked up and closed my eyes, wishing that she had stopped because if she hadn't stopped, I might not even have any more control!

She giggled. "You smell good, You are not loathsome to smell," she said, sweetly.

"Baby, for the last time.. Please stand up and stop teasing me because I'm NOT a saint."

She immediately blushed at what I said. She bit her lip, Her throat moved signaling she swallowed. I felt her tight grip on my neck loosen. Her face slowly descended to mine, and our lips quickly met. A hot kiss, A kiss that finally made my mind go blank. An indescribable sensation enveloped my body. I couldn't even think straight because of the hot kiss we shared. Her kiss seemed to be a voltage electricity that really awakened my whole damn body.

I was starting to lose it with every touch of her soft lips on mine. I pressed my lips harder against hers, almost causing her to fall, but thankfully I caught her back. We kissed like fire and as if everything was all over.
