Chapter 122: Another Challenge

I feel his hands on mine, and my thumping heart returns.

Surely, he's not thinking...

"Why are you zipping up? Won't you get changed?" Darius says and removes his hands from mine.

Oh...

"Perhaps I like this outfit." I say as I continuously zip up.

Darius chuckles, then he rises.

I see him through the mirror in front of me, buttoning up.

I don't let our eyes meet before turning away, feeling particularly irritated.

"You seem upset." Darius says.

"Why would I be upset?"

I feel him lean in, then he latches his hands onto my shoulder and pulls me onto my feet.

I'm spun 180 degrees after, so I meet his gaze.

"Don't be upset, I'll make it up to you tonight." Darius says with a grin.

"You act as if I'm the one who's constantly thirsty." I say, turning my gaze away from Darius.

He lets me go, but I still see the grin present on his face from the corner of my eye.
