Chapter 168 - Stick To That For Whole Life (1/2)

She lowered her head in attempt to hide her face that was a blushing mess. He grabbed her chin before tilting her face upwards so that she was looking straight into his eyes, ”I have been loving you all this time,” His deep tone made her gulp, ”You were just dumb to not realize it.”

The second sentence earned him a punch in his stomach as she narrowed her eyes, ''Are you confessing or looking for a fight with me?” Her shyness jumped under the table.

”Confessing, of course,” He chuckled.

”Laughing like that...Don't tell me you are making fun of me in your heart?” She pinched his cheeks when he continued to laugh. As handsome as he looked, she ended up pouting, ”I hate you. Humph!”

”Jokes apart...I do love you.” He paused before adding, ''More than a lot,” his tone serious this time as a soft smile played on his lips.

She blinked, looking into that pair of deep eyes that intensified the depth of his confession. Without a warning, she buried her face in his chest. He hugged her back and kissed the top of her head, ”So, will you tell me now?”

”What?”

”About why you want to date me?”

”Didn't I already tell you already?”

He narrowed his eyes and pulled back from the hug as he looked at her face, ”I'll leave now. I have work to do.”

This petty man. Her limbs around his body coiled tighter.

He raised an eyebrow.

She cleared her throat, ”Can't you just decipher it by yourself?”

”Unfortunately, I can't read minds.”

She forced a laugh trying to ease the tension in the air, ”Finally there is something you can't do.”

He glanced at her with those humorless intense eyes.

”Do I have to say it aloud?” She asked, drawing circles on his chest with her index finger.

”What do you think?” He pursed his lips.

”Is there no other way?”

”No!!” To her ears, his tone sounded like 'If you beat around the bush any longer, I'd throw tantrums and leave this place in a fit of anger'.

Letting out a soft sigh, she bit his lips, ”You're so stubborn. It's going to be tough to deal with you.”

He hooked his arms around her waist, ”The point here is...?” He drawled.

Her fingers raked inside his hair as she pulled him closer and pressed a kiss on his lips. That typical soft fluttery butterfly kiss that had his heart throb within a moment, ”The point here is....” She drawled it out just like him as she looked at his oh so eager eyes, ”That I love you?”

He narrowed his eyes for a moment before biting her left cheek, ”Are you asking me or telling me?”

She smiled yet there remained a soft blush on her face ,”So, yes, I love you too,” She pecked his lips again.

'Thump!'

The sound of his racing heart in his ears was betraying all his calm expressions.

”Are you sure you love me?”

The corner of her lips twitched as the smile disappeared slowly, ”I was just joking,” She glared at him, ”How can I love you? We are frien-”

The rest of her words were taken away by the hard kiss that came out of nowhere. After a few minutes of intense kissing, he finally pulled back as they panted, their bodies leaning against each other's.

”Not friends at all,” He immediately spoke up before she could think about 'friendzoning' him once again, ”You said that you love me. Stick to that for the whole life,” His voice domineering as usual.
