Chapter 47 Fireworks (2/2)

”Hmm.” He nodded.

He was still staring at me with affectionate eyes that I began to feel a bit awkward.

”Should we get going?” I asked. Looking around there were a few people left on the river bank. Many had gone on their way.

Leon was still holding my hand. He pulled me gently to him. I can feel his arm encircle my waist and his hand caress my cheeks gently. My eyes were glues to him in wonder and surprise.

Our bodies are so close to each other that I can feel the heat of his body to mine. His eyes are drawing mine, like I was hypnotized in his gaze.

His face inched closer, my heart beat want faster as it nears. I closed my eyes instinctively. I can feel his breath in my face and then felt something hot touch my lips.

His lips was pressed to mine. I felt sweet and tender feeling on my lips as he continue to kiss me. Then I felt it part from me.

I opened my eyes to see Leon's face flushed. He smiled at me tenderly.

”I can't seem to control my self.” Leon said. He pressed his forehead to mine and sighed. ”Please grow up quickly, I can't seem to hold myself much longer.”

”What do you mean?” I asked curiously.

Leon just gave me a smile. ”When you turn eighteen then I would personally teach you the things a woman needs to know.”

I looked at him still puzzled.

”Haha do not worry, you will surely know when the time comes. Just do not be so too cute in front of me?” Leon said.

”Do not to be so cute? But how?” I asked. I don't know how to be cute, so how can I not 'not be so cute' in front of him.

”Look.” Leon cupped my chin. ”You are being cute again that I want to kiss you again.”

Leon made a quick peck on my lips. After feeling suddenness, I felt something weird. It was as if I want more. Thinking of me wanting more of Leon's kiss made me blush.

Leon sighed and took me into his embrace.

”Oh, Alicia. What will I ever do with you.” Leon said. ”If you continue on like this I can't seem to hold myself back. The old general will surely kill me.” He laughed.

Leon pulled my hand and we started to walk.

”Let's go before something bad even happens.” Leon smiled. ”I intend to keep my promise with the old general.”

”Promise?” I thought. Maybe the promise he made to take me home after the fireworks end.

We walked back to the stables. What we didn't know was someone from the crowd were watching us. Not only one but two pair of eyes.
