Matters of the Heart

-KRISELLA-

It was a quick peck, a split-second moment when our lips met, but why does that affect me so much... such that I almost experience sleepless nights if not for that hot milk?

In this country, I am a commoner, lowly, so I almost gave up on Alex. Yet, why does he have to act like that...and make me confuse all of a sudden?

At the end of the kiss that night, it was him who broke away from me. Although I was still stunned by it at the time, he pretended it did not happen for the next few minutes... like it was a natural thing for him to do.

And the nerve of him to ask me if I was alright! Of course, I am not! How could he be so oblivious and stupid at the same time? This whole love thing drives me nuts, I swear!

"Uhm… Krisella?"

I snapped back to reality, my eyes filled with fury. "What?"
