Chapter 14

Ariel was alarmed, she quickly thought of what to do and did the only thing that came to her mind.

"Achoo!" She suddenly faked a forceful sneeze, making sure she did it directly at Aiden's approaching face.

"What the hell!" He instantly reeled back from her, fishing out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiping away the spits that splattered across his face.

"Oh, I'm so sorry; I've just discovered that I'm allergic to your kisses and closeness," Ariel said, rejoicing inside for her achievement in halting his advances toward her.

Aiden scoffed after he finished wiping his face, he turned to her with an unreadable smirk.

Ariel was about to ask him why he was staring at her when he suddenly leaned on close and grabbed her firmly behind the neck, and before she could fully understand what was going on, she felt his lips on hers, kissing her hard and fast.
