    Eve’s pov


    As we stood in the kitchen, I reached up and lightly touched his lips, causing him to gulp down


    nervously. He hadn’t been expecting the sudden contact, but he couldn’t help the warmth that spread


    through his eyes at my touch.


    Slowly, his arms came around my waist, pulling me closer to him.


    “I missed you,” he whispered, his voice low and filled with longing. “I missed us, Eve.”


    My heart swelled at his words, and I knew what he was talking about. Because I felt the same way.


    “I missed us too/ I replied softly, my lips brushing against his as I spoke.


    For a moment, we just stood there, lost in each other’s embrace. The warmth of his body against mine


    felt like home, and I knew that I never wanted to let him go.


    “Can we start again?” he asked suddenly, his voice hesitant but filled with hope.


    I looked up at him, my eyes meeting his. I could see the vulnerability there, the fear of rejection. But I


    knew that I couldn’t deny him this. Not when I felt the same way.


    It might not be love. Yet it was something more than friendship.


    Nodding slowly, I leaned up and kissed him again, pouring all my love and passion into the kiss. At that


    moment, nothing else mattered. We were together, and that was all that we needed.


    As we pulled away from each other, our eyes locked. This time, without warning he was the one who


    leaned forward and took my lips in his to im them.


    I at once gave up and started responding to the kiss. Just a few minutes back when I thought he was


    ignoring me, I guess I was wrong. The man seemed to know when to give me space and when to blow


    my mind with those magical kisses.


    Leaning into his hard body, I moaned and went still when his hardness touched my inner thigh. He


    must have sensed my stiffness because he not only pulled back but held me by my shoulders.


    “Damn, Eve. Come to my ce.” My eyes went wide with this sudden and unexpected invitation.


    “What?” I chuckled.


    “I am serious, love.” He cupped my cheek gently, “I promise I will behave like a gentleman. I will cook


    food for you. We will watch a movie of your choice. We will talk.”


    I tried to push back my Elijah back in my mind. He used to say the same.


    Later he had be confident and used to pass those dirty jokes.


    “What are you thinking, long legs?” He waved his hand before my eyes. His heavy voice broke the


    trance I was in.


    I blinked a few times, trying to shake off my thoughts before focusing back on him. “I’m thinking that


    you’re being awfully sweet and gentlemanly, Mr. Adonis. Are you feeling, okay?’ I teased him, chewing


    my lower lip.


    He chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “Yes, I’m feeling just fine.


    Just trying to impress you, that’s all.” He said while touching my nose tip.


    I tilted my head to the side, considering his offer. ‘Well, I suppose I could use a night in. I hope your


    cooking isn’t half bad,” I admitted, trying to control the smile spreading across my face, “But don’t


    expect me to spend the night there.” I tried to warn him in a light manner.


    His grin widened in response. “Excellent. I will expect nothing if you are notfortable.” He held my


    hands, “I’ll make my famoussagna. And we can pick a movie to watch. Maybe something cheesy and


    romantic, just for you.”


    I rolled my eyes at him but couldn’t help theughter that bubbled up. “Oh, great. Just what I always


    wanted,” I joked, nudging him yfully.


    Heughed along with me, his arm sliding around my waist. “Hey, I am sure you will love it/ he said,


    leaning in to kiss me lightly.


    Out of nowhere, I felt contentment enveloping my heart. Maybe things weren’t perfect between us, but


    he seemed ready to wee whatever I was offering him. And at that moment, that was all that


    mattered.


    “Okay. You’ve convinced me. Let’s meet at your ce. Tonight I already have ns with my friends


    though,” I said, and then remembered about my friends.


    Both of them had seemed to vanish from the living room. Maybe they were fighting over the selection of


    some movie.


    He squeezed my waist. “You won’t regret it, long legs. I promise.” By now my eyes were moving to the


    closed door of Ash’s room.


    Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    “What is it?” he asked me in concern.


    “My friends…” “Oh. They are very much mature adults. They must be busy inside.”


    Oh, I wish I could tell him. None of us were mature adults. In fact, we were the opposite. The way we


    used to eavesdrop when Justin used to visit Ashley. Ha-ha.


    I was sure my friends must be listening to us. I tried to stifle the urge to giggle. Adonis was frowning at


    me and didn’t seem to mind my nonserious attitude in this serious situation.


    “So… should I pick you up tomorrow? For our innocent date?” I chuckled at the term. Innocent date!


    Great!


    After giving me a passionate kiss, he left, leaving me like a fool standing there with a silly smile on my


    face.


    However, I had to swallow hard when I heard the sounds of clearing throats behind me.


    I spun around to see Ash and Aniya, both looking at me with smirks on their faces. “What?” I asked,


    feeling my face heat up.


    Ash crossed her arms over her chest, a teasing glint in her eye. ’Oh, nothing. Just wondering if you’re


    going to tell us all about your ‘innocent date’ with him/ she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.


    Urgh! They were listening!


    I rolled my eyes at her but couldn’t help the grin that tugged at the corners of my lips. “You guys are


    impossible. And no, I don’t kiss and tell,” I retorted, trying to sound serious but failing miserably.


    Aniya snorted, shaking her head. “Sure, sure. We believe you,”


    I red at her yfully, before shooing them, “Get lost you two. I was hoping for a little decency,


    thinking that you both were selecting a movie. But no. You were overhearing my conversation. Get


    back to your movie or whatever you’re doing. I have a date to prepare for,” I said, trying to sound


    serious but I couldn’t stop theughter bubbling up in my chest.


    “Shut up!” Ash pped my back, “The date is tomorrow. Now go and change into something


    comfortable so that we can start a movie. And yes. You are not selecting the movie tonight. You can do


    it tomorrow at his ce.” Ash stuck out her tongue and disappeared into the room along with Aniya to


    bring the DVDs.


    Even if they were a handful at times, they were my best friends and I loved them for it.


    But now, it was time to focus on my ‘innocent’ date with Adonis.


    We all were watching Titanic and while looking at Rose and Jack I kept thinking about Adonis. No


    matter how hard I tried, his smiling face was continuously popping before my eyes.


    I didn’t want to remember his real name. But the passionate night we spent together was not possible


    to forget. The way he used to tease me and kiss me.


    “Eve!” I frowned when I heard my name being called.


    “Hmm? Yes?” I straightened on the couch and looked around to find the living room lighten up, “Why


    you switched off the movie?” I looked at the dark screen of the LED, “Or is it the popcorn break?”


    I took the quilt off me and ced my feet on the floor.


    “Girl! The movie has ended. Were you snoozing?” Aniya stood up cing her hands on her hips.


    “Or maybe,” Ashley leaned back on her couch, “You were busy thinking about someone else!” There


    was a hint of mischievousness in her voice.


    I could feel my cheeks heating up. I would never admit to them that I was thinking about Adonis.


    “Who was it?” Aniya asked, smirking at me.


    “Come on, Eve. Spill the beans.” Ashley urged me, giving me a yful nudge. I rolled my eyes, trying


    to hide my smile. “It’s no one, guys. I was just lost in my thoughts.” “Lost in your thoughts, my foot!”


    Aniyaughed, “I bet it’s the Adonis guy.”


    I tried to deny it, but my blush gave it away. “Fine, it was Adonis. Happy now?”


    Both of my friends exchanged a knowing look, and I knew they were going to tease me about it.


    “Ooh, our Eve is going on a date with Adonis.” Ashley wiggled her eyebrows. Aniya joined in, “I bet


    she’s going to wear that red dress she boughtst week.”


    I couldn’t help butugh, “You guys are impossible. And no, I’m not wearing that dress.” “You totally


    should, girl.” Ashley grinned, “Make him swoon.” “Ahan!” I rolled my eyes, “We are just friends. It’s a …


    friendly date!” I tried defending myself.


    “O.M.G! A friendly date? What is it? And the kisses you were giving him in the kitchen? They were soo


    friendly!”


    Ashley tried to suppress herughter when Aniya made this usation.


    “You two are brats!” I turned around and yawned loudly, “I am going to sleep now.” “By the way. Eve…”


    I turned when Ashley tried to say something. Her tongue was touching her inner cheek.


    “What?” I looked at their faces questioningly. They both were struggling to hide their grins.


    “The movie.” Aniya wiggled her brows, “It was not ended.”


    What! Before I could run after Aniya, she had disappeared inside Ash’s room. Ashley was standing


    there trying to stifle herughter.


    “Was she serious? The movie didn’t end?” I asked her and was relieved when she shook her head.


    “No, silly. She was just teasing you. Go to your room and dream about Adonis.” Though she said it


    lovingly, my smile faltered a little.


    No, Ashley. My dreams did not belong to Adonis. Only Elijah would be the one owning my dreams. This


    was the only way to meet my beloved.


    Adonis could be a vital part of my life. But my heart would always belong to Elijah.


    I still love you, Elijah! I will always love you.


    ***


    After knocking the door, I straightened my skirt hoping that I was not overdressed. The girl sitting at the


    reception counter, easily allowed me when I told her my name.


    “Long legs!” Adonis’s handsome face appeared in the doorway, in an attire different than his usual self.


    He was wearing a white tank top with grey sweatpants.


    An apron was tied around his waist making him look more sexy.


    When I couldn’t utter a word, he chuckled holding my hand, “Stop checking me out. I know I look


    handsome.”


    He remarked with a cocky grin. I could smell delicious food in the air.


    He led me to the dining table where he hadid out the tes and cutlery. Pulling out a chair for me, he


    poured me some red wine.


    “Here you go, Cherie.” “Let me help you with bringing the dishes, Adonis.” I offered him my help.


    “Maybe some other time. Let me serve you tonight.” He started putting the dishes on the table. Thest


    one he ced was a steaming hotsagna.


    “Hope you likesagna/ He served me a big slice ofsagna on a te and handed it to me.


    “It looks amazing,” I said, taking a bite of the deliciously cheesy and meaty pasta., “Wow. You cooked


    that?” “You like it? I made it from scratch.” He grinned and poured himself a ss of wine. “I also made


    some garlic bread, which I’m sure you’ll love.”


    He ced the warm bread on a basket and passed it to me. As we ate and chatted, I couldn’t help but


    feel at ease with him.


    As always, he was easy to talk to and had a great sense of humor. I found myselfughing and teasing


    him back. He poured us another ss of wine and asked, “So, what do you think of my cooking skills,


    long legs?” “Impressive! You should open a restaurant, Adonis. Shut that club!” I teased.


    “Well, I can cook more than justsagna. Maybe I’ll surprise you next time with something else.” “I’m


    looking forward to it,” I said, taking another bite of thesagna.


    As we finished dinner, he brought out a chocte cake he had ordered for dessert.


    “I wanted to bake something for you. But my baking sucks.” We enjoyed a slice.


    “This is amazing,” I said, savoring the rich, creamy cake.


    “Thank you, Cherie. I’m d you enjoyed it.” He looked pleased with himself.


    As we sat there, chatting, and enjoying each other’spany, I couldn’t help but feel a spark of


    attraction between us. Maybe this innocent date was not so innocent after all.
