His Spring Symphony

Chapter Thirty: This Moment Was Enough

HUNTER

    He dragged Haru into him room, ignoring all his men bowed to him along the hallway.

    Definitely angry that Haru, decided herself, without event told Volosinov "I think me and Hunter should discuss this."

    Hunter slammed his bedroom door frantically. "You should've not done that!"  His tired voice sounded alarming.

    "I- I'm-" Hunter cut her off. "Now we can't back away-" He walked back and forth from the door to Haru.

    "Hunter." She called. Her voice was rough, but he ignored her. "Let me think... I will not let you go there."

    "I'm going." Haru said sternly.

   Hunter stopped talking to look at her. As always, her expression was as complicated as the map for finding Atlantis. Yet her eyes were fiery, determined.

    "No matter what your decision is, I'm going. I decided and I'm an adult, I'm going to be there and when I'm there, I'm the bait."

   "Why?"

   "I can't expect your protection for as long I'm with you."

   For as long I'm with you. Those words pierced his heart.

    "You nearly lost your life." Hunter huffed. He started to phasing back and forth again. His fingers brushed his hand down to the nape of his neck. "Twice!" Hunter screeched.

   "Then, let me help you finish it all." Haru breathed. She came forward to Hunter. She cupped his face for him to look at her.

   The instant cold from her hands made him felt alert.

   Hunter was shaking as his hands went up and grip Haru's wrist, his thumbs slowly sweeping her skin.

    "I don't want to lose you." Hunter bluntly said.

    Haru looked into his eyes intensely. Her hands cupping his face went down to his jaw and the back of his neck.

    Hunter lowered his gaze to her as Haru came closer to him, even tiptoed. Knowing what she was going to do, Hunter closed his eyes.

   Then he felt the softness of her lips against his. His closed his eyes tighter. It was not a dream, she kissed him. She wanted to kiss him.

   God, she tastes like strawberries.

    His hands went up to cup her face. Hunter slightly parted his lips, let her kissed him deeper and him kissing her back.

    But then she suddenly stopped when Hunter licked her bottom lip.

HARU

     Haru felt a force pushed her to kissed Hunter. Her hands held his face and she went to kiss him. She kissed him!

    Out of spite, she then stopped when Hunter started to get intense.

    She felt like she had done something terrible to him because when she broke their kiss, she was shaking and thinking sentences to explain to her why she kissed him.

    His eyes were still closed too.

     Haru gulped and cup her mouth. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry. I don't why I did that but I wanted to. After you kissed me I kept thinking of wanting you to kiss me again but-" She was panicking. Her hand broke from her mouth and she made movements while she spoke.
