Chapter 37: Suprise
Mira’s eyes widened as she processed the new revelation about Zamian. Learning that he was a virgin was a shock, making her reassess her feelings and perceptions of him. She wondered why she was so taken aback, realizing that being a virgin wasn’t a negative trait but rather a sign of personal values and restraint.
Not noticing that James was about to speak, Mira waved him off. "You may go. It’s already getting dark, and I think you’re probably tired. Thanks, it was nice talking to you."
James nodded respectfully and left without further comment. Mira watched him go, her thoughts still focused on Zamian. As she walked back into the mansion, her mind was occupied with questions. Climbing the stairs to their room, she wondered if Zamian’s virginity explained his hesitation during their practice session. Was he also shy? If she had known, she might have approached him differently.
Reaching the door to their room, Mira was surprised to find Zamian already lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. Walking over to the wardrobe, she retrieved her nightwear. The jeans skirt she had worn earlier was not suitable for sleeping.
After changing into her comfortable nightwear in the bathroom, Mira emerged and glanced at Zamian. Their eyes met briefly before she climbed onto the bed. Zamian seemed surprised by her action, having anticipated that she might express discomfort or reluctance.
Mira was determined to take things step by step, hoping to bridge the emotional distance between them. She settled on the bed and turned to face him, speaking softly, "Zamian?"
His gaze met hers. Mira took a deep breath and asked, "Would you like to cuddle?"
Zamian was caught off guard, his eyes widening slightly with surprise. Mira added reassuringly, "You don’t have to be shy."
Zamian, still taken aback, stared at her, struggling to process the unexpected offer. Before he could respond, Mira gently wrapped an arm around his waist and nestled closer. She rested her head on his shoulder and murmured softly, "Goodnight."
