My eyes are always searching for you

Chapter 35

It was for some seconds but everything seemed to stop. Like everything! I blinked and we both moved back.

Everyone seemed as surprised as us by this sudden kiss but they cheered for us. I tried not to show how much this kiss affected me. I didn't know how to react. It may be a peck or nothing for Minho but it was my first kiss! How do I not react to this?

I didn't actually get the time to react as Emily announced to play another game. Couple Paper dance game. Emily announced, "So we have got our 4 pairs. Now let's play our next game."

Emily whispered to me, "I didn't expect you to kiss Minho in front of everyone! Miss Bold Sarah!" I blushed and tried to elbow her to stop but she continued, "I noticed a tint of a smile on Minho's face after the kiss. He didn't dislike it. Maybe there are chances that he likes you." My heart skipped a bit at this.

Wait a minute Sarah. Maybe Emily is making this up to tease me. But I can't stop smiling that he may have feelings for me. No Sarah, No! Stop it. Remember the picture in his wallet. That girl. yes. now shut up stupid heart! stop beating so vehemently!

I went to the washroom for a bit and when I came back, Defne was trying to flirt with Minho. I stepped in and held Minho's arm as I said, "Defne dear, Your partner is Akiko. He must be looking for you." She clenched her teeth and said, "I know Sarah." and went back to Akiko. Minho chuckled at this and I said, "What?" He replied, "Nothing."

So the next game is a couple dance on paper!

As the music is turned on, the couple has to "dance" while standing on the paper, as best as possible. If you fall or touch the floor you will be out of the game. Music will stop after some time and the paper will be folded in half. The music and dance will continue until one pair is left.

This looks like an easy game I thought. We just need to dance. We all started dancing on the paper as the music started. I tried not to look in Minho's eyes. I looked down and continued dancing with him. I was still thinking of that kiss while Minho looked quite normal.

In the 1st round, Defne slipped or one can say deliberately stepped on the floor as she didn't want to dance with Akiko. Akiko looked pleased as he didn't want to dance with her either.

In the second round, as the paper was folded, we had to move close I was trying not to move too close to him while still maintaining my balance on the paper. but then suddenly he chuckled and wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. He grabbed my arms and put them around his neck while he tightened his grip around my waist.

He was all over me. He was too close! I was forced to look into his brown eyes. I was reminded of that kiss. His eyes looked full of passion. His eyes met mine but then bit by bit moved to my lips and then came back to my eyes. It felt like he wants to kiss me. We were almost hugging. I couldn't say anything but keep looking into his eyes. I couldn't even move, I was mesmerized by his eyes. He smiled and said, "Stay close to me. I don't want to lose."

Oh ... he wants to win, that's why he held me so passionately. What were you thinking Sarah? You must be thinking he'll confess and kiss you here as you looked in his eyes?! Your Fantasies are turning lustful day by day! Control your heart, Sarah! What were you even thinking? Come to your senses!

I blinked and looked away. "Oh" that's all I could reply. He looked confused by my reply but he didn't loosen his grip. He was holding me so tightly that I could hear his raised heartbeat. I was praying that this round never ends as I continue to hold him in my arms as we danced to this happy tone. But then Emily by mistake stepped on the floor and the 2nd round came to an end.

Emily complained," Oh no" Alex hugged her and patted her head. He consoled her, "It's okay love." she giggled and We continued our game. This time the paper was made smaller to the extent that only one person could stand on it.

How am I going to step and stand on it? I was thinking while staring at the paper. Aiko stepped on Hideo's feet as they stepped on the paper. They were literally glued to each other.
I looked at them and then I thought, I can't do that! They are too close! Will Minho do that? I don't really mind and I want to be as close to him as possible but still. Will he play further? Wait a minute, why do I want to be as close to him as possible? have I gone mad? your thoughts are turning into pervert thoughts! stop your lustful thoughts!!!

I was wondering when Minho said, "Step on my feet. Hurry, music has started." I obeyed him while wondering why in the world is he so passionate about this game?

I stepped on his feet as we both tried to dance. We were too close to each other. I can feel his breath. I was breathing heavily on his neck.

While dancing, my lips touched his neck and his breathing became uneven. I tried to touch his neck to remove my lipstick stain and said, "Sorry" but he quickly replied,

"It's okay, Don't move or you'll slip on the floor."

I tried not to move as I knew it must not be easy for him to have my whole weight on his feet. I felt a bit guilty. Hideo and Aiko weren't giving up so I whispered in his ear,
"If it's difficult, we can give up."

"No Sarah, dont." He instantly whispered in my ear in a voice that seemed so seductive that I got goosebumps. I replied,
"umm. okay."

"Please don't whisper in my ear." he said. I was a bit offended at this.

"Umm. okay." I replied.

He may have seen hurt in my eyes as he quickly added, "Your breath tickles. I may slip out of the paper. that's why"

I giggled, "Okay."
