1. Goodbyes are exchanged between king and mom while I avoid meeting kir's dark eyes.
2. I know if I do, I'll lose my resolve completely.
3. I'm still reeling from those kisses...
4. ...my body overheated and blood pumping wildly.
5. She pins me with a heated stare..
6. ...leaning close enough that I can smell her perfume.
7. The effect is dizzying.
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "This isn't over. Have your fun with your mom..."
2. "...and we'll talk when you get home."
3. I wish I could tell her she's wrong, that we are over...
4. ...but I find myself unable to respond.
5. She's giving me the space I need right now, but I have no idea what comes next.
6. "Kir changed our room, now we have separates room."
7. "And this is your bedroom."
1. She doesn't say anything about the change in hotel room...
2. But I see her eyes wandering around the space.
3. "So what happened with kir?"
4. "We talked. And..."
5. "And?"
6. "Nothing."
7. I decide to not to tell her about our eventful discussion.
8. She dumps the shopping bags out onto the sofa for me to inspect her goods.
9. "After lunch, I actually started to worry about leaving you alone with kir."
1. I figured that wasn't the smartest idea, so we cut our outing short.
2. We just walked around this cute little piazza and I went into a couple of boutiques.
3. "I thought this would look cute on you."
4. She holds a tiny sundress up to my frame.
5. "It's pretty."
6. Lavender and touches of blue thread run through the soft fabric.
7. "I can wear it with my strappy silver sandals."
8. "Exactly what I was thinking."
1. "Come on, get changed. We're going out."
2. "Now?"
3. Mom and I spent the rest of the day sightseeing
5. And are currently seated at a quaint little bar..
1. ..munching on olives and cheese and sipping delicious wine.
2. I still can't believe kir and king had actually flown half world in search of me.
3. And as I sit here, slightly buzzed..
4. I'm replaying our brief intimate encounter in my head.
5. I still belong to kir, that's why I can't forget her.
6. Even if I don't want to, some strange part of me knows it's true.
7. When I think about her orange, hungry eyes that burn me up...
8. Her full mouth kissing my neck, I know I belong her.
9. "You're thinking"
1. "About her again."
2. "I shouldn't be."
3. "But you are."
4. The remainder of our trip is nearly perfect.
5. Gorgeous summer weather...
6. Long afternoons spent wandering the beautiful city...
1. But my nights are plagued with memories of kir..
2. Though I suppose that's unavoidable given the situation.
3. After the first day when she and her brother showed up here unexpectedly, I've heard nothing more from her.
4. As much as I try to convince myself that things are done between us...
5. Some part deep inside of me knows that's not true.
