Chapter 109 - I Like You Too
All time stopped as Tiana\'s lips met his. Nicklaus was dumbstruck but he didn\'t have time to process what was happening because before he could think, Tiana latched her hand onto his hair, pulling him closer and deepening the kiss.
Her heart was beating so fast that she doubted she was doing it right. This wasn\'t her first kiss neither was it the first time she was kissing him, why was she this nervous?
His lips were soft against hers. Just like the last time, but this time, it felt like an aphrodisiac. The more she kissed him, the more she wanted to kiss him.
She had never felt this way with any man before. Not even with Adrian. Nicklaus was something else, something new, something wild!
She wanted him. She had never wanted someone so badly!
He was like a drug and she was getting addicted!
Nicklaus was stiff for only a second before his hands went around her waist and pulled her to him.
He had watched her walk to him in silent steps; her face approaching and not even the slightest did he imagine that she would kiss him.
He could hear her heart beating_ racing so fast, and so was his.
Does she know how long he had waited to feel her lips again?
He had wanted her so intensely that he was almost running mad, but he didn\'t want to act rashly, he wanted her to come to him on her own, so he had summoned all restraint in every cell in his body and held himself back.
But now, she was here, in his arms, kissing him like her life depended on it. He would not hold back any longer.
His head tilted to the side and in the next second, he was kissing her like she was breath itself. Tiana opened her lips slightly to breathe and his tongue seized the opportunity to enter her mouth.
Her saliva tasted like mint and it was running him wild, making him deepen the kiss with great intensity.
Tiana wasn\'t doing much anymore; she just tugged unto his shirt so she wouldn\'t fall as he kissed the living breath out of her.
His hand\'s caressed her back and inched upwards to her neck and to her hair, holding her still as he delved deeper into her mouth.
She clutched onto him for support, kissing him back, and not wanting it to stop for anything in the world.
Nicklaus suddenly broke the kiss, his eyes fluttered open, and they fell on her closed ones. She was panting, as though she just ran a marathon. Her lips were so red that he fought the urge to continue from where he had left off.
It took Tiana a few seconds to realize that it had ended and her heart sank instantly; she didn\'t want it to end.
She opened her eyes, and they met his hazy and passionate gaze.
Her hands rested on his chest, and she could feel the pumping of his heart against her hand.
\'\'I… I… \'\' She was still panting, so she paused to catch some breath, her fluttering eyes fell to his chest, and her cheeks reddened with shyness.
\'\'I just wanted to say that… I like you too, and I don\'t want to keep your heart hanging anymore. I don\'t know if it\'ll work out between us but I\'ll really try my best. I know I\'m not the perfect woman, but I\'ll try to be… \'\'
Before she could complete her sentence Nicklaus covered her lips again, swallowing her words in his mouth. This time he was very gentle; as though saying a million words with a single kiss.
Tiana\'s eyes shut and her arms went around his neck and she let go, yielding everything to him. She let him kiss her, marking her lips with his soft kisses, but before she could relish the kiss any longer, his lips broke away;
Her eyes were still shut, but she could feel his thumb on her lips, drawing circles on it.
\'\'Finally! \'\'
Nicklaus sighed and Tiana\'s eyes opened and they were caught in his gaze again.
\'\'I\'m glad you didn\'t keep me waiting for so long, to be sincere, if I waited one more day, I would have gone mad. \'\'
Tiana burst out laughing, her eyes curving beautifully.
\'��So...\'\' Nicklaus said after sometime;
\'\'So?… \'\' she asked, gazing at his raised brows and the redness on his ears;
\'\'You are my girlfriend now? \'\'
He asked with a grin, and Tiana chuckled then pushed him lightly, freeing herself from his grip.
\'\'Let\'s eat first, we\'ll talk about that. \'\'
Tiana turned around to hide the blush to her cheeks.
It was official!! She was his girlfriend!!!
…
\'\'How is it? \'\' Nicklaus asked after he served her meal and watched her cut a small piece and put it into her mouth.
Her face was scrunched up as though she was expecting a bitter taste but as soon as the meat touched her tongue, her eyes brightened with glee.
\'\'Oh my god! Are you kidding me? \'\'
She asked unbelievably, eating the meat quickly and taking another piece.
\'\'Does it taste good? \'\'
\'\'Are you kidding me right now? This is delicious! Where did you learn how to cook this good? \'\'
Tiana stared at him unbelievably, Nicklaus grinned when he saw she was satisfied with the meal.
\'\'So, you didn\'t even believe me when I said I knew how to cook?\'\'
\'\'No, I believed you; I just didn\'t know you would be this good! Wow, when are you going to make me another meal, now I\'ve tasted this, I don\'t think I can eat any meal prepared by any other person. This is so good, mmm! \'\'
Tiana moaned against her spoon as she tasted the sauce, her eyes closing in delight. Nicklaus smiled as he watched her. Just watching her eat his meal gave him delight,
How could she be so stunning even when there was sauce dripping from the side of her lips?
Nicklaus chuckled, and he wiped the sauce off with a napkin.
\'\'oh, thank you. The meal is so good that even my face wants to have a taste!\'\'
Tiana teased and Nicklaus burst out laughing,
God, this woman;
\'\'Say, when are you going to cook again, can you make chicken pizza? That\'s my favorite. \'\'
Nicklaus tilted his head to the side;
\'\'Hmm, I think I can make that. \'\'
\'\'Wow, really? Great! So how about we make some tomorrow?\'\'
