Chapter 38 Nothing But The Truth.
The feeling was soft, possibly the softest thing Leonica had ever felt pressed against her lips. It felt familiar and warm.
In all her 28 years of living, she had never experienced a feeling quite like it.
Her body tingled, the hair at the back of her neck stood, and her stomach turned, in a she definitely disliked.
Without giving either herself or body any chance to settle into the feeling, she quickly pushed her off Gabriel’s chest, resulting in a flat fall on her butt and a wound in her palm that had paid not attention to thanks to the events that had just happened.
On the inside, she cursed at her pounding heart, berating herself for allowing Gabriel’s touch to still have some sort of effect on her after five years.
Gabriel on the other hand, having the weight that had pinned him down disappearing, gently sat up, finger tips brushing against his lips.
The soft feeling was still there, lingering. It was not the first time he had kissed Leonica, however, the previous times, they had all happened in a rush or during his intoxicated state, so, getting the chance to actually feel her lips against his while normal, felt...different.
It took him a minute to come to his senses, and when he did, he turned to Leonica, who was currently fuming with anger, red to the top of her head.
Obviously the accidental kiss was more important than the fact that he had just saved from an incoming car.
“You...” Leonica began, fingers pointed accusingly at him as he rose up and began dusting himself of dirt, later turning to her with raised brows as she had addressed him.
However, before either of them could speak more, another voice cut through.
