"You didn't even give me the opportunity to get dressed." I grumbled, curling my legs up to my chin on the leather of his car.

Considering I was still in my Snowman Christmas pyjama pants and a white sweatshirt with nothing underneath, I truly hoped we weren't adventuring into a crowd full of people.

He chuckles, licking his lips moist and I found it incredibly hard not to reach over and slam my lips against his.

"Don't worry, it's nowhere fancy."

All I did was hum in response and preoccupy myself with the view outside of the window.

"Why are you talking to me all of a sudden?" I ask him sarcastically, not glancing over once at him. I made it a mission to make him own up to whatever shit he was pulling because I wasn't about to let him get away with the fact he ignored my texts for as long as four days.

Although my face was kept unread, it was turned towards the sky that was littered with cloudy stars, I was so tempted to see the expression on his face. Would it be emotionless? Or would his eyes hold guilt?

I kept my ground, chewing on the insides of my cheeks to keep me at bay.

"Flower," He sighs, there again with that nickname that makes me melt only when it falls from his luscious lips. Do not fold.

"I've just been...preoccupied. I'm sorry for not responding, or for checking up on you."

His apology sounded sincere. Demanding my attention, he stopped the car midway through an empty road, pulling us off to the side. I immediately thought we were at the destination, but then his car door never opened.

I spun around and looked at him with a perplexed look as his blue eyes pierced into mine. With a serious expression on his face, he rests his other palm on my cheek and wraps his fingers beneath my hand.

"I'm so set on finding him, Serene. It's all I'll do to make you safe again."

Suddenly, it hits me.

He's been so fed up with trying to find Alias, that was why he was distanced.

I shake my head and give him a half smile. "You shouldn't be overworking yourself about it, he will be caught soon. When the time is right, hm?" I run a hand through his hair, feeling his own hand travel from my cheek down to the back of my neck.

"You're too forgiving, Serenity." He murmurs, grazing our lips just enough to make me want more.

"Only for you." I whispered, suddenly caught under his spell again.

"Can I kiss you?" He murmurs against my lips, my chest heaving in anticipation.

"You never have to ask," I vow. He pushes his lips softly against mine, delicate with my touch.
