Chapter 49

DREXON Luneth steps out of the bathroom; her rosy red cheeks and swollen lips from our encounter earlier are all gone. I know I shouldn't have since this was not the right time, but I could barely help myself, and I fear that it will happen again. I want to act as if I were not affected by it, but I can't. With her in view, I feel my heart pounding against my chest dramatically in a way I haven't felt before. "Did you order already?" she asked, avoiding my eyes. I knew that this was going to happen. She did not dare to want to look me in the face, and I know it's because she regrets the kiss. "Not yet; I was waiting for you." She picks up the phone at the corner and gets room service. I zoned out of whatever she was saying over the phone as I stared at her back features gently. I do not want things to be weird between us, so I have to do something about it. "I have ordered," she announced when she realised I was out of it. Her voice, drawing me to reality, made me lick my lips and nod.
