Intertwine (Strings of Fate)-UNEDITED

Chapter Twenty-Two

Awkwardness. That all to it. I went crazy by the thought of what we did last night in my room. It's so embarrassing, kissing him like that. I never kiss a guy like that of a manner. It's not like me at all, reserve. How can I face him normally again? Now that, I kissed him like that? No! Why do I repeat that word? Argh! It's making me crazy. Erase those thoughts, you have to calm down, calm down, close your eyes and breathe calmly. But when I opened my eyes again, the same handsome face was infront of me. I felt the urge to touch his innocent face. I slowly move closer, I comb his hair buried in his face, I stroke his thick and black eyebrows, as I went down to the bridge of his nose, going down to his luscious lips and stop there, those lips that I tasted many times last night. The warmest, softest and sweetest lips like marshmallows. I can't forget that feeling when our lips collide to each other. Then, something inside me was flattering. Then, slowly he opened his eyes and startled me when he suddenly grabs my hand in his lips.

"What do you think you're doing?" He said in groggy voice. "Uhm..I-I, uh..." Looks like my tongue stuck in my mouth that I can't get the words out. "Cat got your tongue? You're so cute when you flush Alexis." "E-Eh? I'm not b-blushing!" I denied.

"Hehe..don't deny it, that's why I like you." Then again, I'm back being speechless. What is he doing to me? I'm not being like this. "I-I'm , gonna make our breakfast." I pull my hand from his grasp as I slowly get up from the bed. "Alright." He said then smiles after that. I hurried stand from the bed and hasten to the kitchen. I opened the refrigerator and grabbed the cold water. Why is it so hot today? It's already in winter season! I need to calm down, but my heart won't stop jumping right after we wakes up.

'I like you.' Ugh! Why do I have to memorize those words? AHHH! I can't stand it, I don't know what happen last night that I suddenly kissed him back. Is it because he kissed me like no other before? But he was a guy, for Pete's sake! I can't like him. What did I just say? I like him? But it can't be. It's not right, it is so wrong. I can't like him back.... If I were in a different situation then I might consider but this is wrong, I can't make him involve, not in my life. But every time I think of leaving him in that state, something inside me is pierce me. Maybe, I just can't....

We are still silent while eating but I can see that he is smiling and I can't help but hide those smiles inside me. And I have already decided. "W-Would you want to go out with me t-today?" Words suddenly comes out in my mouth. He lifts his head with a surprise look.

"Really?" "Uh, yes...? We are still in vacation, right?" "Hmm, you are right. But it doesn't feel right." "What do you mean by that? You don't want to?" "No, no that not what I meant..." He stand up and lean forward until our faces are few inches away. "I should be the one asking you for a date." I think I flush because I can't even stare at his eyes out of embarrassment.

"Haha, you're so cute when you blush." "Tsk, don't tease me ok. It's so embarrassing." I said under my breath. "Hehe, alright, alright you win. So where do you want to go after this?" "Hmm, anywhere I guess...?" "Haha, I never thought you'll say that. But it's ok, let's try to other places we've never been here."

"That's a good idea, but where do we start?" He rests his chin in his hand and thinks deeply. "Wakaranai, I think we can think that while touring, I guess." "If you say so, then it's fine with me."

(Alexis' POV)

After we ate our breakfast, we decided to take a walk instead of driving my car along the highway. "Well, you insisted to take a walk, but do you already have an idea where you're taking me?" I turn to look at him and I saw him smiling. "I don't have hehe." Instead, he grabs my hand and interlocks our fingers. I was surprised at first but I tend to not. We are still walking when we come to the mall at the heart of Tokyo.
