25 Chapter 25. Anxious for the sigh (1/2)

Evan didn't expect her to turn suddenly in halfway. Even though he had quick reflexes, his foot was already floating in air and was about to crash on the floor whose step can't be avoided.

Aeinshia understood they might collide with each other, so she tried to lean back lightly out of instinct while her hands stretched in front to stop him crashing onto her.

But everyone knows she was no match for his strength, as he crashed onto her small hands, because of the sheer force, she lost her footing, resulting her to fall down.

Aeinshia closed her eyes in despair and was ready to accept her fate. Two seconds later, instead of the cold hard floor she imagined, she fell into a pair of warm and strong arms.

She opened her eyes in comfusion. She blinked and realised that she was in his arms and her face was pressed against his chest.

Just as he fell on her and she was going to crash on to the floor. Evan grabbed her into his chest and turned them around. He straight up landing on his back with Aeinshia pressed to his chest. Their legs tangled in awkward manner.

She could feel his hot breath on her head. He was holding her so protectively as if she was some precious gem which could easily break if it fallen on to the ground.

Her heart raced at an alarm speed hearing his heart beat. His body was warm against hers, his breathing and heart beat deep and slow exactly opposite to her shallow and fast heartbeat.

Aeinshia held her breath and hoped he wasn't able to hear her heartbeat which seemed too loud for her ears. This was the first time for her to be this close to him. She wanted this warmth to stay with her forever and wished to stay with him for eternity.

His embrace was comfortable which felt like an irresistible intoxication.

For what felt like a good time to stay in his warm hug, she cleared her frenzied mind and mouth trying to break free from him, ”uhh... Evan”, her voice low, but high enough for him to snap back to reality and release her tiny waist.

When Evan saw her about to get toppled over, he immediately wrapped his strong arm around her small waist and pulled her into his tight embrace out of impulse.

He could hear her racing heart pulse and her chest heaved as she took shallow breaths. Her hot breath tickled his chest passing through his silk piece of clothing.

It felt so good to embrace her petite frame. It reminded him of his childhood days. When Aeinshia was still a child, during their afternoon nap she used to hug him to sleep since it was her habit to hold onto something to drift into her Dreamland.

He wanted to take this situation to his advantage and let her stay in his arms to his hearts content and finally told himself to not to let her go till she asked him to.To be told the truth, he wished for her to not to let any word and just silently stay like him.

That was a perfect moment for him, he could smell the fragrance of her long raven black hair who got same hair color as he. It was a fragrance of herbaceous with a natural smelling unlike those artificial smells. Her thick locks are shining with luster getting exposed to the sun. He didn't want to leave her and stood still like her till she called him.

He immediately released her from his grip and saw her face.

Her cheeks are as round as her face. They turned rosy but now not only her cheeks, but also her whole face turned red. He was happy to know he was the reason for her to react this way.

”Are you sleeping well these days? ”, he asked unknowingly reminiscing the past when she couldn't sleep without holding his hand during their short nap.

Aeinshia stood dumbfounded at his question, she didn't understand why he asked this question to her out of nowhere.
