Unexpected

Chapter 24.

"Emily," Albert instantly grabs my waist and pulls me to him as he opens the door of his house.

He presses his mouth against mine in a gentle kiss and leaves small kisses on my lips and jaw tickling my cheek with his curls. He's so beautiful.

"Hi, Albert." I chuckle as he gently pecks my forehead and brushes the back of my head with his fingers.

"Can someone get these two a room?" Sophia teases entering in the living room pulling me into a hug.

"Would you stay away if I did?" Albert teases her and she gives him a death glare with a playful smile.

Albert wraps his arm around my waist and smiles down at me making my stomach flutter.

"I'm meeting James now," Sophia tells me with a cheeky smile and gives me a wink.

"Be careful!" I tell her and she winks at me with a huge grin.

"Always,"

Sophia closes the door and the dragons on my stomach start to setting fire on my chest.

"What were you doing?" I ask Albert who is starting at me with a parted smile.

"Um, I was reading," He supports his waist on the table behind him and looks at me with staring eyes. "Um, William Shakespeare, actually." He smirks at me and I chuckle.

"I didn't know you were a fan of Shakespeare,"

"But you are," Albert leaves the grip on the table and slowly approaches to me. "Right?"

"Y-yeah," My voice breaks and I feel like all the air has been sucked out of my lungs. It's too hot in here.

"Yeah?" Albert cups my cheek and caresses the skin with his thumb making me close my eyes from his sweet touch.

"Do you want to read it with me?" Albert closes the space between us, using his hand on my waist to pull me against his chest. His breathing teasingly brushing my lips.

"Su-Sure," I breathe and step away making his brows raise with humour. He grabs my hand and guides me to the hallway. I love how his thin fingers fit between mine. His hands are really beautiful.

"Something wrong?" Albert looks down at where our hands are meeting and I blush when he catches me staring at his hand like a freak.

"No." I shake my head and look down.

"Why are you blushing then?" Albert's voice is playful and seductive as he runs my hand with his thumb.

"I'm not blushing," I lie burying my face on my chest further.

"Yeah, right." Albert mocks while opening his bedroom door. I've never really seen his bedroom inside. I imagine it to be black like the pieces of clothing he wears and mysterious like the glow he holds in his eyes.

He lets me enter first and I'm surprised when I catch a glance of white in his curtains standing up behind the black duvet on his bed, black couch and black desk. Even his drawers are all painted black.

"So what do you think?" I can feel his warmth behind my back radiating from his strong chest.

"I like it!" I turn around and he holds a surprised expression.

"Really?" I feel his hands straddling my wait pulling me to him.

"Um-um, it's mysterious and dark like you." I tell him and he holds a playful smirk on his beautiful face.

"You think I'm dark and mysterious?"

"Yes,"

"So you like me like basically love me?" He playfully rises an eyebrow at me and gives me a cheeky smile.
