Your Ghost

Chapter 32:

EVELYN:

"So will I survive?" Ransom sarcastically asks, making me smile.

I put my finger on my lip, pretending like I am thinking about it. "It's hard to say. Maybe just don't walk around complaining about your 'owy'." I joke, giggling.

Ransom chuckles and pulls me closer to put his head on my shoulder. I take his hand I just mended and interlace it with my hand.

"Does it still hurt?" I ask, kissing his hand.

"A little." he says, kissing my shoulder.

I push away from Ransom, but only enough that he can see my face.

I kiss his hand again. "How about now?"

Ransom cups my face and leans me closer so our lips meet.

His lips feel soft. So soft.

"I am now." Ransom's lips move to my neck and he nips me, which makes my body jolt.

That feels so good!

"Are you okay?" Ransom asks, his lips sliding down my neck.

Does this man know what he does to me?

I cannot think straight!

I don't answer, but it's because I don't want this moment to end. If I tell him how I really feel, this moment will be over.

I want to stay in this moment!

"Answer me." Ransom nips my neck again, sending sparks inside my body.

Does Ransom want me to take him to my bedroom?

I cup his head and I lean in to kiss his soft lips. Ransom closes his eyes, so I lean forward to kiss his eyes.

His eyelashes are long and so beautiful!

One feature of Ransom's I love!

Ransom opens his eyes slowly and I feel like there are butterflies in my stomach. This man is handsome. So handsome!

I do sometimes want to cry because of how beautiful this man is!

"Are you going to answer me?" he asks.

I turn around to that I can sit on Ransom, and I drop my head. If I do tell Ransom how I really feel, I fear this moment will be ruined.

If only he knew what Lydia and I spoke about...

"Did Lydia say anything to hurt you?" Ransom whispers.

Dammit!

I pop my head back up. I need to change the subject to distract my mind – and hopefully make him drop the subject. "I am going to pack a few essentials before we go back to your place." I state, standing up and leaving the bathroom.

Yep...instead of Ransom ruining the moment, I ended up destroyed the moment...you idiot!

I make my way to the kitchen.

"What do you mean you need to pack a few essentials? Didn't you pack everything you needed when you were here last?" Ransom asks, leaning against the kitchen counter, folding his arms.

Like a disappointed father.

"Well...I only packed for one week so –"

"You have clothes at my place? You don't need to pack more clothes." Ransom tilts his head in puzzlement.
