"To kiss her or not?"

Camera lights were flashing outside the venue.

Reporters started to make a chaos just to get the hottest story.

The bodyguards can't control them anymore.

Zakki thought that he had to get his wife out from the insensitive crowd so they went back inside.

He then ordered Lawrence to secure their way out through the secret passage. It was a ten-minute walk-in passage that will lead to a small but classy house close to a road.

Yes, Zakki had a secret passage of the venue! Of course! It's because he owned the place! He did not want his wife to know about it. But since he had brought her to this situation, he must also be responsible of keeping her safe at all cost.

Lawrence remained outside to deal with the reporters and in order to keep them attended. This way, they will be kept distracted. He will wait for Zakki's call before leaving the venue.

Zowie felt Zakki's hand held hers tightly. It was only the two of them! He was taking her somewhere. They got into the elevator and went underground. She remained silent and observant. They took off their masks and walked out from the elevator. They started following a path.

They were walking and walking until Zowie's feet started to numb.

"Ah!" Zowie sounded and let go of Zakki's hand. She tried to keep her balance but she could not anymore.

Zakki immediately looked at her. "What's the problem?" He saw her massaging her feet.

Upon hearing the question, Zowie gave him a disappointed look! 'What's the problem? I am wearing heels! My feet is hurting you heartless bastard! We've been walking! I am tired! And you are asking me that now? You are unbelievable!' She was really mad inside. She was thinking of how to punish him! She wanted him to panic so she decided to cry!

His face had no reaction but his next move surprised her and stopped her from crying.

Zakki suddenly carried her without saying a word! It was a lover's carry!

Zowie could feel his warm breath next to hers. The feeling was so good! She unknowingly stared at his pretty face.

" Are you falling in love for me now? Don't worry, I am only yours." Zakki instantly uttered while looking at her with his sweetest smile.

Their faces were so near. Zakki glanced at Zowies lips. They were like tempting apples into his eyes, waiting to be eaten.

Zowie got conscious to his stare. 'He's undeniably five times handsome than Lance! What a trouble!' She can hear her heart beating loudly as Zakki stopped walking. They were immensely looking at each other now.

She could feel Zakki's face getting closer to hers. Her eyes were blinking abnormally with their situation.

'What do you think you are doing? Oh my! Don't you dare kiss me!' The thought of kissing kept her mind preoccupied so to get herself from panicking she just closed her eyes.

'My sweet stubborn wife! You don't have idea how you are unknowingly seducing me now! But I have to wait for your heart to be totally mine!' Zakki secretly thought while looking at her wife innocently closing her eyes.

Zowie waited for his lips to reach hers. But it never arrived! Instead, he heard him whispered.

"We're here, Zowie dear." He softly said to her. Seeing Zowie slowly opened her eyes and blankly stared at him, he could not help himself from smiling. "Do you like me that much to carry you this way? Hmm?" He added while giving her an innocent smile.

Zowie's eyes enlarged upon realizing her stupidity!

'What the hell Zowie! You are so embarrassing!' She was slapping her face inside her mind. Then, she calmed herself.

"I was just relaxing my eyes, myself! Well, you can put me down now! If I know, you are just taking advantage on me!" Zowie defensively reasoned.

As he put her down, Zowie fixed herself and suddenly kicked Zakki's leg which made him curved a little in pain.

"You owe me that one!" Zowie immediately uttered before turning back against him to open the door! But what she got was an epic failure to get out on Zakki's face. The door was with a coded number lock!

'Oh gosh Zowie! You are totally not yourself with him right now! You are losing the game!' Her troubled thoughts from within! She was slowing losing her temper!

There was a displeasure on her face!

As she annoyingly turned around, she found Zakki's face again so close to hers while his hand was on the door beside her face. 'Shit!' She instantly uttered inside.

There was total silence between them.

Zowie saw herself trapped on Zakki's both hands! She automatically closed her eyes, trying to avoid Zakki's face! But also deep within, she was again expecting a kiss!

'To kiss her or not?' Zakki was totally tempted.

"Tit! Tot! Tit! Tit! Tit!" The sound of the pressed number locks broke the silence.

"Stand still and don't droop yourself on the door. You might fall." Zakki caringly sounded while secretly laughing inside on watching his wife's action. Then, he left Zowie hanging.

From what he said, Zowie realized she was stupid for the second time around. She downheartedly opened her eyes, she was there standing alone. As she turned back to get inside, she was taken aback as she met a toilet bowl!

'Woh! Classic style of having a secret get away. The place was totally clean though! As if it was not used! Uhmm, Interesting! I must keep an eye on you Mr. Araneta! You are indeed a dangerous man!' She observantly thought before going to her way out.

As she was finally out from the comfort room, a western style interior design house welcomed her. She love it! On one look, she might thought she was in a five star hotel. Everything was in perfect place.

"Do you like it here?" Zakki voiced out from behind her.

His masculine voice interrupted Zowie's consciousness. She looked at him with curious eyes.

"I mean if you are tired and you like it here, then we can spend our night in here. Besides, home is an hour of travel from here and it's almost eleven in the evening." Zakki casually said and waited for her answer.

Actually, he wanted to take the opportunity to be alone with his wife for a little more.

'He's right. I am also tired and I really want to rest now.' Zowie agreed without suspecting any trouble.

"Okay!" She replied without hesitation.

"Okay?" Zakki tried to check if it was really her answer.

"Yes, okay!" Zowie annoyingly replied while settling herself in the couch. "Oh My! This feels so good!" She exhaled while enjoying the relaxation of her body.

"Okay, excuse me for a second. I will just call Lawrence! " His voice was a bit excited on having the call.

'Hmm? What's exciting about calling his right hand? Is there something between them? Don't tell me he's in love with him!' She was a bit disgusted and secretly laughing on her thoughts. ' That's maybe the reason why he didn't kiss me a while ago! Wait! So what if he didn't kiss me! Whatever!'

Zakki came back seeing her wife happily taking her rest. She had taken her heels off and placed her legs on the couch.

He did not want to ruin her mood but she might fall asleep in there if she will not get herself to bed.

"Enjoying your rest?" Zakki sounded while walking towards her.

"You can't blame me if I am Akki! I am still healing and my body was still adjusting from stress a little bit." She casually replied with a smile.

Zakki was just enjoying her smile, not knowing how to tell her the problem. For him, it will not be a problem but for her, it might be.

Then, he finally had the courage!

"This place is always ready for emergencies. I keep it that way! But.." Zakki became hesitant to continue what he wanted to say.

"But?" Zowie was calmly curious without looking at him. 'It must not be a big deal!' She closed her eyes.

"But there's a problem." He softly uttered, trying to set her mood calmly and slowly.

She still did not care and was completely calm.

"We only have one room in here." Zakki finally said it!

"WHAT?" Zowie abruptly exhaled with great disbelief on her face!
