Chapter 33: Bright Eyes
Xander woke up without Yera on the bed. A beautiful smile curved his lips despite the headache he was having.
Last night he was drunk, but he clearly recalled what happened. Unlike Yera, Xander could still maintain a clear thought when he was inebriated. Although it was true that last night, he was unable to control himself and his urge to grab ahold of Yera as soon as a whiff of her scent entered his nose.
He had been longing to kiss those lips. It had become unmanageable lately, that he had to resort to stealing a quick peck on Yera’s lips every night when she was already deep asleep. Just like a thief.
But last night, he was able to kiss her fervently and unrestrained... And the best part was, she responded to it. Now that he had had a taste of her sweet lips, he longed to devour them even more. He knew he was making progress. But he also knew he still had to be patient.
He looked at the clock. It was still too early for Yera to have left for work, so he grabbed his mobile phone from the bedside table and dialed her number.
He heard her phone ringing inside the room. He stood up and saw that it was on the couch. He had not ended the call yet, so he saw the caller ID that was displayed on the screen.
His eyebrows furrowed upon seeing the name that was saved under his number. ’The Clown.’
"What!?" He protested. He was ’The Clown,’ yet she was ’My Darling’? How unfair!
Xander shoulders sank, and his smile gone.
