KNOCK ON MY HEART ❤️(on-hold)

CHAPTER-28

ZAHA

So, what are you going to make for me? I really should have asked a different question. I appear desperate. But all he did was laugh and ask what I wanted to eat.

I'm thinking of that creamy butternut squash linguine-you like that? I can whip it up in no time. It's simply a lemon squeeze. I was standing here, watching his broad back as he walked to the kitchen. What happened to the angry bird I remembered? Okay. This Dev version appeals to me.

Have you ever wanted to kill your best friend and hug them tightly and screaming I love you? I'm having the same thoughts right now. I rushed into the kitchen, and there he was wearing an apron and cutting something I couldn't see because his broad back was the only view I had.

I realised what I had been doing when he abruptly turned, his hands still on the counter, his perfect lips curved upwards. My gaze was fixed on him. I turned to the other side to hide my burning cheeks, but my forehead was hit by a wall.
Ouch! To relieve the pain, I rubbed my forehead. The next thing I know, I'm being lifted by Dev. He sat me at the kitchen table.

Can't you be more cautious? He screamed, rubbing my head and blowing occasionally.

I didn't notice any walls. I lied and touched there to confirm there was no bump, but there is. I'm not going to tell him that I turned to hide my face because of you.

Really? He asked me slyly, then clasped my hands on either side and leaned in close to my face.  he was completely over me.
I don't mind if you stare at me. He kissed my little bump and returned to the kitchen to cook. I can feel my heartbeat against my ribcage by placing my palm on my chest.
What just happened. I dashed from the kitchen counter to the living room and touched the spot where he had just kissed me.

His touch did not make me feel uncomfortable or disgusted. What makes this possible? I'm sure I'll need some time to adjust to the presence of the opposite sex. Even with Zigmund, I was scared at first, but we quickly formed a sibling bond despite the fact that he is the same age as me.

Don't overthink it, Zaha. Just wait until he arrives with your pasta, then eat and sleep. I stared blankly into space for a few seconds. Ingrid mentioned that Dev had a large collection of vintage movies, so I decided to give it a shot.

There were numerous Pendrives stored in the drawer. I randomly chose the light blue and inserted it into the Pendrive hole, only to find two files. I expected to find a plethora of films. Anyway, I clicked on the first file and waited a few seconds. There were only photographs. Not just some random photos or a picture of Dev.
It was just me and him. So many intimate pictures of us, as if we're kissing. I moved to the next file with trembling hands. It has video of us standing so close together that it looked so real I couldn't believe my eyes. When I rubbed my eyes to get clear vision, I realised I was crying. The next video played as if we were having sex.

I'm not sure when he arrived, but he grabbed the remote from me and tossed it somewhere in the living room. My gaze was glued to the television.

You don't have anything to say? I eventually broke the silence, knowing he wouldn't say anything, though my voice cracked slightly. I kept my chin up and looked into his eyes, expecting an answer.

DEVYN

Fuck. I should keep my cool. What will she say about me now? However, she did not push me away. I forced my feet to move and returned to cooking to fill her tiny stomach.
I finished the pasta and went outside to call. I came to a halt when I saw her sitting on the couch like a child, watching TV. What I saw when I looked at the screen shocked me to my core. How did she discover this?
There were so many pendrives, why did she have to pick this one?I snatched the remote from her grasp and turned off the television and threw it away. She slowly turned to face me, her eyes moist, as if she was asking me to answer all the questions in her head.
