Chapter 64 - Just a Brief Simple Kiss
As soon as her lips gently landed on his, the world stood still as if time no longer existed.
Davi"s brain instantly felt a spark, powerful enough to start a fire, that instantly spread throughout her entire being. The unexpected magic caught her off guard. She didn"t expect that the moment their lips met, she would feel something completely outrageous. That moment, she felt as though a deadly meteor fell on Earth, blacking out the entire world but at the same time revealing the billion stars in the sky, at their brightest.
His unbelievably warm lips knocked her entirely senseless, evaporating every thought in her head. The supposed to be just a second peck on the lips ended up lasting for five seconds before she finally snapped out of it and pulled back, her heart fluttering as wildly as ever.
As soon as she pulled back, their eyes met deeply like never before.
Then, a long deafening silence went by as they just stared at each other with no words being spoken at all.
Until at last, Davi opened her mouth.
"We-welcome home… I-I-I"ll go prepare dinner," she said hastily with a wavering voice as her face turned entirely red before she walked away as fast as she could.
Watching her disappearing silhouette, the masked man remained motionless, dazed and speechless. His scary aura and unimaginable coldness were nowhere to be found as if it disappeared entirely from existence the moment she kissed him. As if the kiss just obliterated every sign of life he usually emitted. As if the kiss was a curse officially turning him into a real breathing stone.
"Oh my G.o.d! Th-that was the beating she was talking about? Ah! My pure innocent eyes have been tainted. When did you two become this sweet?"
"Hey. Are you listening to me?" Zaki"s loud voice were akin to an annoyingly loud alarm clock waking him up from his deep sleep. The stone finally moved and he stood up and loosened his tie at the same time.
Without words, as if he didn"t hear a thing, the masked man walked towards the stairs. He went straight into his study room and as soon as he closed the door, he leaned into it for a long time before he walked towards the bathroom. He turned the shower on without removing his s.h.i.+rt and he stood there quietly while the water flowed nonstop over him.
Meanwhile, the girl in the kitchen was still struggling to calm herself. Even though she thought she prepared herself enough, she still felt very shaken. She just didn"t expect it to feel like that. It was beyond all her expectations. She didn"t know that a single kiss could shut down her entire consciousness against her will.
It was just a brief simple kiss, filled with inexperience and innocence, yet it caused an unstoppable wildfire inside her chest, a wildfire she felt that no one could ever extinguish. She felt as though that kiss, which was originally a part of her mission, will forever be engraved within her, a memory that will never be forgotten for the rest of her life.
