Bittersweet

19: Caramel Macchiato

"Guess who?"

Kiera smirked. She could recognise that voice even in her dreams. That deep voice. The hidden desire in her.
She knew from the very first second he stepped inside the room. She was just waiting for him to snake his hands around her waist and place his chin on the crook of her neck, as her eyes gazed outside the window.

"Where were you Taehyung?"
Taehyung pecked her neck. He hugged her tighter,
"I'm sorry that I couldn't make it earlier. I'm sorry I was late my Doll."
She was already thinking of another tattoo. She can always opt for another one. Besides, she liked the way DOLL sounded.
She smirked,
"Why were you late, Hot Stuff?"
"Explaining to the department why they need to let me investigate your case. Apparently, I'm no good at all."
"Well, good or bad, I don't know. Only thing I know is if they assign another officer, I'm not talking at all."
He nuzzled his long nose bridge on the soft spot of her neck. She whimpered, causing him to chuckle,
"That's like my Doll. Now, would you grant me a precious opportunity?"
Kiera purred,
"What opportunity Hot Stuff?"
Taehyung swang her towards him so that their eyes can meet.
"We started on a very inappropriate note. It was all about lust right?"
"Is it about love now?"
Taehyung looked at the speaker. He saw his reflection in her heterochromic eyes. Two reflections. Two different colours. Blue, the calmest colour. Yet he saw the raging ocean in them. Brown, the colour of sweet chocolates. Yet he saw something bitter in them. He pressed his forehead on Kiera's,
"I don't know what we are. I only know that I'm addicted to you. I'm obsessed with you. It feels so good you know? The way my body just fits with yourd? Is it a coincidence? Is it destiny? I don't know Kiera. It just feels good to be with you."
Kiera smiled at him and pecked his lips. The small peck soon turned into a makeout sesh. Taehyung bit her lower lip and inserted his tongue in her mouth. He left no corner unexplored. His grip on her waist got tighter. She had also wrapped her arms around his neck. It just felt right to do so.
After a good 5 minutes, they let go. Kiera confidently smiled at him. Taehyung giggled his cute boxy smile,
"I brought you a caramel macchiato. Thought you'd like it."
Kiera looked at Taehyung with adoration painted all across her eyes. Finally! A thing to distinguish him from Jungkook. A thing which would make her think that Taehyung is Taehyung and Jungkook is Jungkook. Jungkook was a good lover, never gonna lie. But he wasn't into this kinda stuff. He would rather pepper her cheeks and lips and necks with kisses rather than having a soft moment with her over a warm cup of coffee. Taehyung was a good boy with an off switch.

Kiera straddled his lap as she sipped on the hot beverage. She flirtily said,
"Hot, isn't it?"
Taehyung brought her closer and untucked her hair from behind her ear,
"Smoking hot. And a bit sweet. "
"I was talking about the Macchiato, you know."
Taehyung looked at Kiera's smug face as if she was his whole world. His eyes were glowing. He swore that he felt as if a halo was behind his head. He just felt something warmer inside his heart,
"But I was talking about you."
She giggled,
"Oh! You are just way too sweet! Gosh!"
Yes, Taehyung is Taehyung. Jungkook was Jungkook. Yeah, WAS. Heavy word. But not heavier than the sugar rush she's experiencing. She moved the cup towards him,
"Here, want some?"
"Sure."
He softly chuckled and pecked her lips. Soon they were kissing again. He wanted to step further, but he thought it would be rather forcing her. So he decided to stay beside her instead.

Kiera was playing with his hair while he worked on a file. He felt nice. His heart was beating for someone else again. But it wasn't beating as fast as it should be for LOVE. It also wasn't slow. It was somewhere in between.
Kiera was somehow sure of what she felt. She just wanted him. Love, lust, obsession. Did she care? No! She just wanted him close. If not forever, then for as long as they can. She didn't want the exact thing she had with Ace. She wanted Taehyung to be himself. And eitherways, if she starts seeing Jungkook in him, then the thing between them would be something really unoriginal. Just a copy of something.

"How's Blondie and Plastic Face?"
Kiera said as she gritted her teeth. The mempries came flashing back. Taehyung was aware of the reaction. Taehyung pecked her collarbones,
"You mean Chaeyoung and Tzuyu?"
"Chaeyoung, Roseanne, Rosé, Rosie. So many names for one girl right?"
"Ask Jimin. He would say that she lacks proper nicknames. One word that truly desctibes her. One name that is her."
"Jimin's deeply in love right?"
Kiera softly said. She knew lovebirds in one glance. And Rosé was all head over heels for Jimin. And Vice Versa. Taehyung looked in her heterochromic eyes. Chaotic yet calm. He purred,
"Yeah. Jimin loves her. She loves him back. They've stuck together for so so long. They've gone through thick and thin. I'm just glad my buddy found someone just as good as him."
"You can also find someone. I mean that Pretty faced Officer is crazy over you anyways."
Kiera faked a confident glare. Inside she was breaking. She was never insecure. But now anxiety was getting the best of her. Jisoo was not better than her in anyway. She sees herself in Taehyung's love coated eyes. Taehyung and she have a thing together. But again, cops can flip the game anytime. Why trust them in anyway?
"Well, Jisoo-ssi is just a friend in my eyes Kiera. She's a good person. She would find someone who truly matches her aura. Not gonna lie, she was kinda my type before. But since I met you, my ideal type has changed. You have driven me crazy. No other girl has this kinda madness in them. You are something illegal, Doll."
