"Shoo." He shooed her quietly. "No, you're not. Just because you were hurt and you followed your heart doesn't make you feel stupid."

"That wasn't it? I should have trusted you better."

"That is gone, Lola. I'm not holding you against it. And that is the truth. I swear. You should stop crying and please look at me."

As he said it with some kind of charm, she raised her head and looked up at him. She searched his eyes for any bit of lie or uncertainty. But there wasn't. He was being sincere about him not angry at her.

He was not angry at her.

He didn't hate her.

Then she exhaled deeply in relief, feeling tears at the back of her eyes. She couldn't help it and she started crying again. That made Demilade confused as his face gave it all away. He was looking so confused as to why she was crying when he already told her it was all fine and he wasn't mad at her.

But she wasn't crying because of that either. She was crying because she felt relieved. She was happy that he choose not to hold her stupidity and immaturity against her. And that was a huge relief.

"Tiwalola..." Demilade voice was stern. He don't understand why she was crying again when he told her not to and that he wasn't mad.

She shook her head. "I-I am just relieved." She said wiping the tears from her face. Demilade heaved a sigh of relief, nodding.

"Okay. It's fine, Tiwalola." He assured her. She looked at his face and he was confident about his words. And for the first time, a small smile spread on her face. She saw Demilade face light up brightly when she smiled and he grinned back. "Now that's what I want." And she chuckled lightly.

"Thank you." She said with so much sincerity.

Demilade smiled. "You don't have to thank me. It should be the other way round." He told her honestly, looking at her in that familiar way like she was something fascinating. His eyes held so much adoration and love for her and that made her heart swell. Nothing seems to have changed about how he feels and it was more than just a relief to Lola. She was elated by the thought of it.

She watched him raise a hand and he wiped something off her face, that was when she realized that she was crying again. She was such a crybaby. She admitted to herself.

Demilade hand lingered on her face and he slowly traced the outline of her face, with that incredible look still on him. His eyes fixed on hers. He cupped her face in his hands and leaned forward then he closed the space between them.

He felt Lola take a sharp intake of breath. She seems frozen for a moment. Then she relaxed in his touch. He moved his lips slowly and softly on her. He does not want to rush her. He kissed her for a while before biting her lower lips softly. She moaned into his mouth and he slipped his tongue into her mouth. A hand moved to the back of her head while the other remained on the side of her face. He deepen the kiss, tilting his head sideway while their tongue ran across each other.

Lola felt all her senses heightened in a good way when Demilade kissed her on the lips. She could feel the raw sensation of pleasure from the pit of her stomach. Her body was shuddering with every kiss. She missed his kiss. She missed his lips on hers and that familiar taste of his coupled with his familiar strong alluring cologne that hit her nostrils adding to the feelings. She moaned quietly in his mouth and he used that chance to gain entrance into her mouth. Their tongue intertwined and he tilted his head. She felt his right-hand move to the back of her head, holding her firmly.

She had missed his firm touch. She missed everything about him. She brought her hand up, and she slide her fingers up his arms to meet his for a short moment. Then she placed her hand on his shoulders, leaning her body closer to his while she slowly massage his shoulders with her fingers. Her hand slid up to his face, feeling his stubbles and facial features with her hand and then to the back of his head in a slow sensual manner.
