Chapter 4: Drunk Kiss

Adrian's expression was unyielding, as if he wanted to cut through him with his glare. He appeared visibly upset, and Noah found himself in an uncomfortable position.

Before he could comprehend the situation fully, something unexpected occurred. Someone behind Adrian pushed him, causing him to stumble, and in the process, he collided with Noah. Caught off guard, Noah was forced against the wall, but Adrian's swift reflexes prevented him from hitting his head. His hand instinctively moved to support Noah's head, creating an unexpected closeness between them.

Their eyes met, and time seemed to pause. Their hearts pounded in their chests, the tension and proximity electrifying the air. Noah's mind was a whirlwind of emotions—confusion, surprise, and a strange sense of longing all mixed together.

Their unanticipated closeness left both of them speechless, their breaths intertwining as they found themselves captivated by the intensity of the moment. Adrian's anger seemed momentarily forgotten, replaced by something else—a spark of connection that neither of them could ignore.

In that moment, everything else faded away—the noise of the bar, the teasing of his friends, and even the weight of the workday. There was only Noah and Adrian, their gazes locked, their hearts beating in synchrony.

Their eyes locked in a magnetic gaze, neither Noah nor Adrian could deny the undeniable tension that had enveloped them. They both felt a strange, electric pull drawing them closer, their bodies seemingly moving of their own accord.

With a nervous swallow, they found themselves teetering on the edge of something unknown, a connection that defied all logic and reason. Slowly, Adrian's hand, which had rested on Noah's waist, ascended to cup his face, his fingers gently grazing Noah's skin.

Both of them were aware that this should not be happening, that it defied the boundaries of their professional relationship. Yet, they were unable to resist the overwhelming allure of the moment, the unspoken desire that swirled between them.

Their breaths mingled in the charged air as they remained suspended in this enigmatic encounter. Despite their inner struggle to push each other away, they found themselves drawn closer, their bodies gravitating towards one another with an irresistible force.

Their eyes flickered down to each other's lips, and the tension between them intensified. In that suspended moment, the world seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them and the palpable chemistry that coursed through their veins.

Noah couldn't hold back any longer. In a surge of passionate impulse, he closed the distance between them, pressing his lips fervently against Adrian's. The kiss was filled with unbridled intensity, a silent confession of the emotions that had been building between them.

Adrian was taken aback for an instant, caught off guard by the sudden boldness. But the magnetic pull proved too strong to resist, and he responded fervently, his lips molding against Noah's in a fiery embrace.

Time seemed to lose all meaning as they kissed, their bodies pressed together, hearts pounding in sync. All the barriers that had once separated them seemed to vanish, and they were left with nothing but the raw, unspoken connection that had forged between them.

In that moment, the world ceased to exist beyond the realm of their embrace. They were lost in each other, two souls entwined in a dance of passion and desire.

As the kiss lingered, they both knew that this was just the beginning, a turning point in their lives that would change everything. Yet, in that instant, they were willing to embrace the uncertainty, to explore the uncharted territory that lay ahead.

The intensity of the moment lingered in the air, but suddenly, Adrian's eyes snapped open, and he became acutely aware of the situation. The realization hit him like a tidal wave, and he immediately pushed Noah away, creating a physical distance between them.

.Noah was left stunned, his breath shaky and his eyes filled with confusion.

"Boss," Noah's voice trembled with concern, reaching out to touch Adrian, but before he could make contact, Adrian ran his hand over his face, struggling to steady his own breath.

The air around them felt heavy with unspoken emotions, and Noah sensed that something was terribly wrong. He desperately wanted to understand what had just happened, to bridge the gap that had abruptly formed between them.

However, before he could say anything, Adrian turned and started walking away, his steps hurried and his gaze fixed ahead. Noah was left standing there, heartbroken and speechless, as he watched Adrian vanish into the crowd.
