BLEACHED (COMPLETED)

18: Another Handsome Stranger?

Lavender sighs once she closes the door and glances towards Domen who has his hands crossed on his chest and staring at her with a displeased gaze.

"What?" She asks as she reaches for her seatbelt and clicks it in before placing her handbag on the dashboard.

"You're annoying, you know that right?" He asks as he raises a brow to which she scoffs to and bites on her lower lip. "Why do you still forgive people after they do something bad to you?"

"It wasn't intentional, was it?" She shrugs her shoulders as she stares at him. "It was an accident and you have to forgive people."

He stays silent for a moment, glancing away from her and towards the street ahead. Lavender frowns slightly and slowly turns her head to her side, watching the endless stream of cars and people walking by.

She chews down onto her lower lip as she presses her palms against her laps and gently glides them along the fabric of her dress.

Without much of a warning, an unfamiliar pain on her jaw takes her by surprise as her neck also experiences a short painful moment before its replaced with something... Strange.

The warmth covering her lips makes her stomach churn as her body freezes entirely as the electric eel runs down the spine of her back.

The moment isn't long, as a matter-a-fact, it's all in a blink of an eye.

Lavender stares into the open nothingness for a moment long as her brain fails to comprehend what has just happened.

Did... Domen just... Kiss me?

"Would you easily forgive me if it was intentional?" He asks, his voice low and hostile, grabbing her attention instantly.

She turns her eyes to him as her lungs are still stone. Petrified and without life.

"You should be mad that I'm your friend's fiancee and gave a small peck on your lips, directly." He says as he crosses his arms to his chest. "You can't say you can forgive me for that."

Lavender fails to respond as he heart is now silence as well. Her body still unable to recover.

When the reality hits, her body suddenly becomes too warm and threatens to melt the car seat and door.

She glances from him as her eyes widen in shock with her hand covering her lips.

Domen.... He... He...

"Are you listening?" He asks as he leans forward to get a better view of her when he fails to as her hair blocks him. "Don't overthink it, it was barely a kiss."

"Yeah, but why did you do that?" She asks as she fails to gaze at him as her heart grows louder and more furious.

"I was making a point." He says as he reaches his hand over to her hair and brushes it to her ear, only to notice her warm pink ears. "Are you... Blushing?"

"It was just too sudden!" She hisses out and unlocks her door, stepping out to get a breathe of fresh air when she suddenly tilts to the ground as her seatbelt stops her from leaving.

She rolls over her seat and gasps as she reaches her hands out to block her floor.

Domen raises his brows at the oddity and can't help to chuckle at the most unusual thing he's seen all day.

Lavender is just another kind of species.

His chuckle drops dead in seconds when his eyes drop down to her dress that suddenly has a large tear from the slit up to her lower back, exposing a purely white laced underwear that had been hiding beneath.
