I think...

"Good night," Christopher said as he kissed Kaylee's forehead and helped her lay on the bed. "Go to sleep."

Kaylee looked away and lay down on the bed as she covered her body with a blanket. Christopher stood up and was about to leave when Kaylee held his hand. "How about you?"

He looked at the woman lying on his bed. "I can't finish a single work today. I need to finish some work, or I'll be late by the deadline."

Kaylee tightened her grip on Christopher's hand. "Do it tomorrow. I'll help you."

Christopher removed her hand from his hand and was going to place it on the bed, but Kaylee didn't let go of his hand. "Please?"

Christopher let out sighed. "Okay, let's sleep." Christopher lay down beside Kaylee, when he looked at the woman beside him, she had already closed her eyes. Kaylee automatically opened her eyes when his arm wrapped around her waist. She can feel his breath in her ears. He was too close to her, she could feel her heartbeat. 'What's wrong with me?' She thought to herself.

She just wanted to make sure that Christopher would go to bed, but she didn't expect that she would feel something like this. She must admit that Christopher is handsome and attractive, but every time he holds her, she feels safe. However, it's different now; it feels like her heart is about to explode.

Kaylee silently calmed her heart when she heard a low and husky voice in her right ear, "Can't sleep?"

Kaylee held her breath for seconds. "H-huh?"

She gulped as she bit her lower lip. "Yeah."

Christopher placed Kaylee's head on his chest, and his left hand caressed her hair as he held her left hand with his right hand. "Can you hear it?"

Kaylee blinked twice. "Huh? Yeah."

"What do you think?"

Kaylee blinked, she was about to look at Christopher when Christopher held back her head to his chest and tightened his grip on Kaylee's hand. "Don't look at me, I may not be able to stop myself if you look at me." He said as he kissed the woman's head.

Kaylee bit her lower lip. 'I may not be able to stop myself too, if you act like this.' Kaylee thought to herself.

Kaylee can clearly hear Christopher's heartbeat. Though, she was not sure why, but hearing the man's heartbeat calmed her down. 'I was just nervous, because of the sudden brought up about marriage right? I was just nervous because I might actually marry the man I don't love in the future right?' Kaylee kept biting her lower lip as she tried to convince herself.

"What are you thinking?"

Kaylee was taken aback because of a sudden break of the silence. "AHH!" Kaylee subconsciously held her mouth with her left hand.

Christopher frowned as he held Kaylee's shoulder and looked at her. Kaylee's hand was still on her mouth while her head was lowered. "Why, what's wrong?"

Christopher asked. Kaylee shook her head. "No, it's nothing."

Christopher removed Kaylee's hand from her mouth and held her on her chin to force her to look at him. His expression darkened. He touched Kaylee's lower lip with his thumb, "You're bleeding."

Kaylee removed his hand from her lips, and she gulped, "It's nothing. I accidentally bit my lower lip, and that's it." She said as she looked away.

Christopher held Kaylee's face and pressed his lips against Kaylee's. She blinked; she could taste the taste of blood coming from her lips. When Christopher pulled out, he met with Kaylee's eyes and sighed deeply. "I think..." In the next second, Kaylee fell into Christopher's arm as she buried her face into his chest.

'I think, Char is right. I think I like you.' Christopher thought to himself as he leaned his chin on Kaylee's head.
