chapter twenty eight

he took steps forward and Joan stepped back, he looked into her eyes and then stared at her from toe to her face, he looked into her eyes again and then his gaze rested on Joan's lips.

he stared at her lips and then lick his lips while still looking at her lips.

as he took the steps forward Joan's heart kept on thumping so hard that it could be heard, she pleaded for her heart to stop doing that, but then his gaze rested on her lips and it killed her, she lost her balance, luckily she stepped back to take support from the fridge, and when he licked his lips whilst staring at her lips, she held her breath

"stop doing that, you're killing me and you are making me feel something even I can't explain" she said in her mind

as he got closer she didn't know whether to run or stay, her choice was to definitely run but her feet refused to move,

he hovered over her and she lifted her head to meet his gaze, they were so close, yet what they wanted from each other was so far

he held her Chin and bend down a little and then whispered into her ears,

"I said you can't"

she closed her eyes the moment he held her Chin and bend down, his breath lingered from her chin to her ear and when he said

" no you can't" she felt something she couldn't explain and she wanted him to do something else and say something that will warm her burning heart but that something she couldn't tell but all she felt was that she definitely needed to hear something else from him but what she got with her eyes closed and probably in wonderland was a flick on her forehead

she held her head and then shot him a look

"what was that for" she said rubbing her forehead.

"you lost concentration" he said

"and so? why did you have to hit me" she said almost crying

he held her cheek with his hands and then blow on her forehead

"sorry does it hurt" he said

but she didn't know how to answer, the swell of tears in her eyes were not because of the flick but something else she felt.
