24 Twenty (1/2)

AN : Some readers commented that this book is going too fast and Nadazhda accepted Zaccheus quickly. And this book is confusing.

The reason why Nadazhda accepted Zaccheus is only known to her not me ????‍♀️. She's the one to decided what's good for her not me. I'm just the writer not the character - _-.

Is this book going in fast pace?.

And is it confusing?.

Nadazhda POV

I landed on my comfy bed to take a little nap only to find my eyes fluttered opened due to the creaked of the door, Zeke peeked his head in before smiling cheekily while his eyes twinkled with unholy mischief and I groaned loudly.

”Split it out,” I said, straighten my stiff tiny muscles.

”Well, lover boy is asking for you” he wiggled his brows playfully. The stinging in my heart ease softly when I heard that Zaccheus wanted to see me. A radiant made its way to my lips with some unfathomable bubbles of happiness.

What is this feeling, I wondered because I didn't understand. I just wanted to be with him every time, anytime, everywhere and anywhere. I'd low self-esteem but with him, I felt belonging to here as a human, like I was someone important. My relationship with him I didn't understand even when he told me about his secret. I felt at ease and happy that he could confide in me by showing me his beasts yet funny enough, I found his beasts endearing. I always felt protected and secured with him. Everything about him was perfect from the way his eyes watch me like a hawk or how his hand moulded with my tiny waist or how I felt giddy whenever...

”Ouch!” I moaned in pain, touching my forehead to ease where Zeke had flickered.

”Stop daydreaming!” he scowled at me with his hands on his waist while I pouted.

”I wasn't daydreaming” I defended while he raised his brow mockingly.

”I see” he nodded his head dramatically, ”you weren't daydreaming but night-dreaming,” he said in a high pitched voice which dripped with sarcasm.

”I was just thinking why I always feel at ease with Zaccheus and..” my white skin was crimson red with embarrassment as I nibbled on my lips nervously.

”And?...”

”The sparks, electric..”

His eyes clicked on understanding before he patted my head like a mother hen, ”don't worry that small brain of yours, everything will b..” his statement was cut off by the stiffness of his body, he stared at the wall while his eyes glistened with tears. His mind wasn't with me again, he was mindlinking someone.

When he said as through, he gasped out loud and wipe a lone tear from his eyes before he smiled at me, ”lover boy is waiting for you, we can't keep him waiting”.

”Where's he?” I asked because I could not wait to see him, I didn't understand but my heart yearned for him. I put my untamed beast; hair into a bun while some strains were tickling my ears which made me giggled out.

Zeke looked at me confusedly and pointed his gaze at me, asking,” are you okay?” while I nodded in reply.

”Sure?”.

”Sure” I replied, forcing the hair strains behind my ears. I jumped in fright when I heard the rambled of the thunder.

”It's okay dear, it happens every time when...” he paused a little and smiled sadly at me.

”When?...” I asked curiously.

”You'll soon know, I'm not in any position to tell you,” he said dismissively, indicating the end of that discussion. I whipped my head to the window whether the cloud was gloomy but found the sun at the high peak, shining to the fullest and maybe smiling at me.

I snorted at my silly thoughts, why would the sun smile at me?.

”It's somehow strange here” I voice out my thoughts while he stared at me.
