Chapter 139 - His Sweetheart: Her Corazon
Their first and second kiss might be typical but today it has become so intense that he didnot kiss those petal-shaped lips. He has breathed life into her soul and falling in more love with her eventually.
"What kind of drug are you?" Devin whispered placing a hand on her lower back yanking her closer. Every single inch of her body is pressed against him, but, he still wants to pull her closer.
"Huh?" Leena was still in a state of trance, unable to catch the drift of it.
"You went from being my drug to the reason I live now." She was the drug he was addicted to and he craved for her every day. From when it started, he doesn't know. Was it the first time he saw her in the Dew Garden? or when they came across in the washroom? Or perhaps in the hotel? But his heart always screams that it's long before he remembered but his brain has camouflaged his heart.
The room went into a deafening silence except for their steady breaths. They stared at each other as if their eyes were deeply conversing without a word. His stares were making her uncomfortable but in a strange way, sending butterflies and jitters in her stomach every time he sees into her eyes. Fuck butterflies. Leena feels the whole zoo inside her whe she is with him. Damn, his eyes. Finally, Leena dropped her gaze, a gentle flush of pink rose in her cheeks that made her look vulnerable.
"Look into my eyes, Leena" He raised her chin with his index finger. Every time he looks into her eyes, he feels that her soul is too heavy for her that it filled her to the brim till there was no more space and it is now flowing through her eyes.
Leena looked up but instantly she shifted her gaze elsewhere. The kiss they shared started to replay in her mind endlessly and every time she gazes at him, her eyes get docked on his lips. Goosebumps formed on her arms as she recalled how he dominated her lips and sucked her every breath each time he came inside.
"I_I release me. We have ended our kiss right?" She wanted to spank her mouth for speaking about their kiss again. Not intended to look at him, she awkwardly gazed at the carpet lying on the floor, and immediately her brain drifted to the stumble on his chin. Can I get a break from him at least for a moment?
"Now, you are feeling shy?" Devin never missed to tease her and when she was looking everywhere except him, he took the obligation to lift her chin, and immediately he was pleased to see the flushed look on her face. "So, you understand my feelings now at least?"
"How special I am for you?" Leena gazed into his eyes asking for confirmation. She got the answer to her question already but her wretched heart still wanted to hear the words from his mouth.
"If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes, only then you will understand how special you are to me." He rested his face against her, fluttering his eyelids all over her face as if the wings of a butterfly docked on her face gently flapping its wings.
Her heart thumped in and out like a moth, his skin was too close to the point of his throbbing pulse could be felt when he was pressing butterfly kisses on her. The light stubble was caressing her skin when he rubbed his face against her but she didn't care at all. It felt wonderful.
"Do you still want to know how I feel about you?" He asked with a mischievous glint as he watched her shy demeanor. "We can go for another round then. I will be gentle_"
Leena hushed him placing a finger on his lips and before she could retreat her hand, he pulled back gently pressing soft kisses on her knuckles. He wanted to hold her hands for a long time and now he wants to become the only one hand, she ever wanted to hold.
She tried to pull back but as if he has turned a deaf ear, he continued with his mission not listening to her. Finally, when she thought it was over, he released her hands and pushed her body upwards, and lifted her as if she was made of thin air. She gasped at his rapid actions. Why does he always scare me with his feats? But she was finding him sexy when he does those kinds of things unexpectedly. Mad! I have definitely gone insane for him!
"Put me down, idiot." When she felt gravity was pulling her down, although he was wielding her securely but her legs wrapped around his torso, unconsciously.
"Sorry sweetheart. I am deaf to your words now." Devin was as stubborn as a mule now. He has been holding for a long time. Now that he realized their feelings are mutual, did she think he would listen to her requests? No way.
"You have become more shameless compared to before." She encircled her arms around his neck as he carried her towards the bed.
"Is it? Then I am honored. There is a virtue in being shameless." Placing her on his bed, he leaned on to her putting his hands on either side of her head without shifting his weight. Although Leena was still not used to the sudden intimacy, she couldn't bring herself to reject it. She knew he wouldn't do something which would insult her or violate her respect just like someone did in the past.
"Besides, you cannot make a shameless man feel ashamed." When it comes to her, he is not only shameless, even aimless. Finally, he felt home. She was in his home, lying on his bed. He wished the world to pause for an eternity.
"Just like we can't make cockroach a cockroach. Because it's already cockroach." Leena teased encircling her arms around his neck and pulled him a little closer.
"You dared to call me cockroach. You ought to be_"
"I never called you cockroach. Someone has let the cat out of the bag." She giggled as she watched his blazing hot eyes and she slightly pushed him away rising from the bed. The scent of his bed was putting indecent thoughts on her head and she wants to wake up before she loses her sanity.
"I watched the press meet." Leena hugged him when she was missing the warmth of him. She was wondering when did she become a clingy shit to shovel. "Honestly, it was not necessary. The rumor has already diluted. Why did you bring it to the surface?"
"I don't want any discrepancies between us, Leena."
"Alright." Leena suddenly released for her hug and squeezed his cheeks when she found him adorable. "And when I was watching your press meet, one weird uncle disturbed me and I have to put a stop to the show." Leena wanted to make him a little jealous blowing a gaff about the incident that happened yesterday with one weird uncle.
"Weird uncle?" Devin asked, he had a hunch that it's his dad. He was the one who went to visit her yesterday.
"A very weird uncle. He started calling me his daughter-in-law, bragging about his son endlessly and he wants me to marry his son. Actually, his son's Nickname is bizarre. Chiku, it seems. Who keeps such a ridiculous name." Leena giggled, if not Devin was hugging her, she would have rolled on the bed unable to control her laughter.
Hearing the confession, Devin cringed. He was fine with his dad's bragging, but the trademark would be too hard to carry from now, after all, it was revealed to the craziest person.
"You shouldn't degrade names, sweetheart. Who knows, his son might be forced to carry that name." Rage churned over him when he recalled his dad's face.
"But still, I couldn't control my laughter right at that minute. That was one hell out of the name. I would have jumped from a mountain if someone would have called me with such a funky name." Leena felt unhappy this time since she did not expect the jealousy she wanted from Devin. If only she saw his clenched fists, he was raging with anger on his dad.
Devin knew she would make fun of the name. But he was also terrified how she would mock him when she comes to know the truth. But right now, he could only divert the topic. He will worry about it later.
"It's not good to dwell on other's topics. So, tell me what are we now?" Devin asked becoming serious when it comes to their relationship status.
"Why don't you answer that to me?" Leena countered. So, how am I going to be his girlfriend?
"Isn't it obvious? My sweetheart." He doesn't want to address her as his girlfriend. He wants more than that. But if he asks her for a hand in marriage, she would freak out and kick him right away. He slowly and steadily wins the race and he can eventually come to marriage.
"Huh? Not a girlfriend?" Leena asked in confusion.
"No. You are my sweetheart." He whispered leaning against her forehead stealing a peck on her lips.
Leena hit him on his shoulders for sneaking like a cat and stealing the kiss.
'If I am his sweetheart, then I should think of a unique name, right? Even I don't want him to be my boyfriend.'
She searched her brain for a length and tossed all the irrelevant words that popped up in her head and finally, she has come up with a tag for him. 'My Corazon'. Finally, she picked it from the song, Duel El Corazon.
"Don't ever talk that you are an imposter of someone? All right?" Devin declared leaving no room for discussions. He wondered who dared to put such a false thought into her brain but there is also a possibility that she would assume the things going into her cuckoo land again.
Leena nodded her head but something was not settling in her heart. She still wanted to know the mysterious woman he loved in the past. Although she was his present, she wanted to know about the lucky woman because Leena always thinks that girl must be lucky to have Devin. Although she feels that for herself, her narcissistic self doesn't want to admit it.
"What's wrong?'' Devin asked studying her face. He could sense she is still bothered by something. Is she still doubting my feelings?
"I_I want to know the girl you loved in the past?" Leena finally voiced out her inner thoughts.
There she goes again.. She is still not sure about my feelings? Where did she got go know that that I loved someone in the past? Since she was so adamant about knowing, even Devin wanted to play with her for some time.
