Chapter 335 - Too Distracting... (2/2)

Avaleigh felt her entire body tingle as the man's voice traveled into her ears. For a long time, she had been so tied down by her career that she never got the chance to be in a relationship. While she sang songs about love, appeared in dramas about love, and watched other women her age being in love, she herself had absolutely no experience with it. She had only ever had one boyfriend, and that was when she was young and clueless; it was not love.

Love was patient, love was understanding, love was selfless...like Emerson...

Avaleigh buried her head in Emerson's chest with embarrassment as she blushed. This man made her weak like jelly and she didn't know how to respond.

Emerson continued to hug her like he was trying to make up for all the days he had been resisting. He didn't care about anything else at that moment, he just wanted to hold her in his arms and not let go. He wanted to be selfish for just a little while. Even if he liked her more than she liked him, he didn't mind. He was used to going after women that didn't like him back. As long as she didn't get married to another man, or in the case of Halia, his brother, then he was going to be patient and not give up.

But, to his surprise, Avaleigh suddenly lifted her trembling arms, wrapped them around his body, and said, ”I don't want to just have dinner with you...”

Emerson's heart sank for a moment before she continued, ”I want to have breakfast and lunch as well...”

Emerson chuckled and hugged the woman tighter. Her words were like a resuscitator that brought his heart back to life.

Did this mean what he thought it meant? Was she reciprocating his feelings? But, he didn't want to pressure her and rush things, so he simply enjoyed this hug for now.

After hugging for a while, Emerson checked his watch and slowly moved away. He had rushed over to fix Avaleigh's tap but he still had work to return to. Avaleigh understood and immediately went to grab his jacket. As she gently helped him slip into his jacket, Emerson couldn't tear his eyes away from her. Her every movement made his heart flutter. If he could, he would skip work and hold her in his arms all day, but he knew that was impossible. ”I'll see you at dinner time,” he said softly as she finished.

Avaleigh smiled shyly and nodded her head before she walked him to the door without saying a word. She appeared composed on the outside, but she was actually losing her mind on the inside.

After the man left, Avaleigh took a deep breath and fanned herself. A moment ago, when she was putting on his jacket for him, she had run her hands across his strong arm muscles and felt her body heat up. For a second, she was tempted to tear his jacket back off his body and keep him in that apartment with her. In fact, she wanted to tear off all his clothes and see what other muscles he had hidden underneath, but she resisted. Now that she thought about it, she was a little embarrassed by her wild thoughts. She had never been this attracted to a man before, especially not in a s.e.x.u.a.l way.

She quickly shook her head to clear her mind and walked into the kitchen. ”Dinner...dinner...what should I make for dinner...” she whispered to herself as she tried to change her focus. But, the mention of dinner simply reminded her of the words that Emerson had said to her and she fell back into a daze. Her body was still warm from his hug earlier and she could still smell remnants of his cologne in the air. At this rate, she was not going to get anything done...

No wonder idols weren't allowed to date. It was much too distracting...
