Chapter 188
~Ella’s POV~
The rhythmic rain tapping against the window provided a soothing setting as I sat on my worn-out couch, scrolling aimlessly through my phone.
It was one of those evenings where the world felt too big and too small, the silence stretching endlessly in my apartment.
In the past, Zara and I usually spent time together when we were free but now, she was busy with her life and partner, I, on the other hand...
Sigh!
A knock at the door jolted me from my thoughts. My heart skipped a beat as I glanced at the clock. Who could it be this late?
With a sigh, I set my phone down and padded over to the door. The moment I opened it, I was met with intense eyes, filled with mischief and heat.
"Styles?" I asked, but before I could say more, he stepped inside, cupping my face with his hands and pulling me into a deep, searing kiss.
My gasp was swallowed by his lips, his urgency stealing the air from my lungs. He kicked the door shut behind him, not breaking the kiss as his hands moved to my waist, lifting me effortlessly.
