Chapter 285 - Kiss Me
Davi"s feelings were in chaos. The words Sei had uttered were like mystical powerful chants that lifted her curse all at once. She felt like she was dreaming, and she still could hardly believe it. She never once thought that everything could be solved like they were just simple matters. Sei made her curse disappear just like that and it was totally beyond belief.
Moreover, hearing him say that he would definitely cure her as soon as possible made her bewildered to the point that she never even realized what Sei was doing to her. She didn"t notice the desire in his eyes and how close their bodies were at the moment.
All she could feel was that there were sprouts that were starting to bloom within her desolated world. She could feel that things were about to change. Her mind started reminiscing about who she used to be five years ago, seeing herself smiling and laughing in Sei"s arms, loving him unconditionally.
That moment, all the missing fragments of her life started returning back to her. She looked at Sei and her heart began to recall just how much she loved this man back then. He was her world and she was willing to do anything for him.
She remembered just how cute and adorable this person was, making her feel so nostalgic as she looked at his eyes and his upper face covered with a mask.
Sei on the other hand, held her wrists and wanted to remove the hands on his face so he could maneuver himself forward and kiss her but Davi wasn"t willing to let go.
"Sei… I want to see your face." She said and Sei finally realized that he was still wearing the mask that served as their costume.
"I"m sorry, I forgot to remove it." He replied and he was about to raise his hands when Davi stopped him again.
"Let me." She said and Sei could only put down his hand.
Davi then let go of his face and held his mask. Truth be told, because she was always avoiding eye contact with him since the first time they met near that huge fountain, Davi still couldn"t picture his face in her mind well enough. It was because the Sei in her mind was still the Sei who was wearing that black mask.
Holding his mask, she started lifting it. Davi felt her heart fluttering like crazy. It was as if this was the first time she would be seeing his real face.
Slowly, she removed his mask and as expected, she felt her heart bursting out of control. The face that she was not allowed to see back then, was truly beautiful. It was perfect and surreal that she thought that this kind of face should be something forbidden for a mere human to possess.
Davi pushed him away a little so she could admire his face. Afterwards, she raised her hand and pinched his cheek.
"So… this is the real Sei…" she uttered and Sei smiled. In that instant, seeing the Sei without the mask, smiling, made Davi feel like she just witnessed a supernova blast, making her mouth slowly hang open in wonder.
Seeing her reaction, Sei was so happy. He could finally see that she was slowly becoming like her old self now.
Thus, while the girl was still in daze, Sei who just couldn"t wait anymore pulled her in once again. However, before he could move his head, Davi"s phone rang and she immediately snapped as she s.h.i.+fted her face towards her pocket.
She pulled away from him and answered the call without delay as if she was answering an emergency call. Sei just heaved a sigh of disappointment as he put his hand on top of the car.
Moments went by and Sei was patiently leaning there again, looking at her talking on the phone like an honorable soldier. Sei couldn"t help but see the coolness she possessed even though she wasn"t wearing a uniform right now. It was a sight that made Sei smile again even though he actually couldn"t believe that his wife became a soldier, and even became a part of the notable elite special force.
After the call, Davi returned her gaze towards Sei.
"The commander is summoning me back to the camp." She said and Sei straightened his spine. He didn"t say a word but Davi clearly remembered what he said a moment ago; that he would cure her if she came back to them now. Truth be told, Davi didn"t want to be away from them anymore. Now that the chains around her heart were finally unlocked, she didn"t want to listen to the demon inside her anymore and be stubborn. She didn"t want to stay a slave to her own apprehensions. All she wanted right now was to be with them again.
"I… I will be back right away." She continued when she realized that Sei"s face turned gloomy as soon as she said that she was summoned. However, as soon as she said that she would come back, Sei smiled again, causing Davi to fall in a daze once more.
The man walked closer to her.
"I will let you go if you kiss me." He said and Davi almost choked. She felt her face turn red hot. Within those long five years, Davi never once thought about this kind of thing. She kept herself busy and didn"t give herself even a single minute to reminisce about the past and think about things like kissing. In other words, she felt like it was too sudden and she wasn"t ready for it because she felt as though her experience had reset back to zero.
Five years was a long time and she was afraid that she might have forgotten how to even kiss.
"Can I kiss you when I come back? I"m in a bit of a hurry," she said, trying to buy herself some time to think about it when suddenly, Sei gently b.u.mped his head onto hers.
"I"m sorry but I can"t wait anymore." He uttered and in the next second, their lips finally touched, causing the hibernating electricity in their nerves to be released once again.
