Aidan walked to the room where Jovie was sleeping. A beam of light from the window fell on her face. He set the curtain drapes in place and the room was dark again. It was already 8 a.m. but the room gave night vibes.
He walked towards the bed and sat across it. He looked at her sleeping peacefully. The innocence showing on her sleeping face, all the muscles on her face and body were totally at peace. She was like a baby in it's deep slumber. Her soft breathing made his world stand still. He could watch her sleep for hours together. He felt that she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen
"Magnifique!" He whispered as he pushed away a strand of hair away from her face.
He leaned closer to plant a kiss on her forehead.
Jovie woke up instantly when she felt soft breathes on her face. She opened her eyes to find Aidan leaning in towards her forehead.
His scent was hovering all over her now. She could feel his warmth that started creating butterflies in her tummy. She couldn't help but notice his masculine neck following his broad shoulder visible through his shirt. His slightly showing veins were a huge turn on for her and her heavy heartbeat was the proof. She bit her bottom lips.
Just shut your eyes or this is going to be super awkward.
She shut her eyes as his lips touched her forehead. It sent electrifying sparks in her body.
She clenched the bedsheets with her hands to remain still and calm but it was not helping either. Her heavy breathing gave the evidence that she was awake and well aware of all the incidents.
Aidan moved back and whispered in her ear with a husky, deep voice. "Bonjour, ma chérie."
She didn't know what that meant but whatever it was. It was hot. She kept her eyes closed pretending to be asleep but the tension and sweat on her face suggested either.
"Bathroom is on the left." Aidan smiled at her failed attempt and walked away.
She opened her eyes a soon as he left and placed her hand on her chest.
Calm down! Calm down!
She wiped off the sweat from her forehead and walked towards the bathroom after few minutes.
She looked at her reflection in the mirror. She noticed a bandaid on her forehead and some hand prints on her hand.
What happened last night?
**
She walked out of the room after sometime. She was amazed at how big the house was. Now that she looked at the house, though it was plain and simple it had those vintage vibes.
The furniture in the room was white but it was antique and so were the doors of the rooms and the stairs. The house was pretty gothic style with black and brown furniture and wall peices but at the same time was very beautiful to look at.
Jovie walked down the brown stairs. She looked around to absorb the beauty of the place.
"Ahem." She heard a voice which she knew was Aidan's.
She was too embarrassed to look at him so she just avoided facing him.
"Aren't you hungry?" He asked.
Now that he asked about it, she realized that she hadn't eaten anything since night.
"I am." She admitted.
"Let's go get breakfast." He offered.
She wanted to reject his offer because she was too shy to face him and could eat at her apartment but after taking all the incidents to consideration she agreed.
"Where would you like to go?" He asked her casually."
"Mochi's? Is it nearby?" She asked. "But wait, do you eat?" She blurted out.
He chuckled at her expression. "Tu es si mignon. I do eat. Mochi's it is."
"What does that mean?" Jovie frowned. "And how can you eat?"
"You're so cute." He smiled and that made her blush. "Because I need to survive."
She was still lost in what he had just said and that made her brain shut before thinking of further questions.
Aidan exited the house and Jovie followed him.
Jovie noticed a middle aged lady creeping near Aidan's garden.
Jovie asked suspiciously. "Do you know her?"
Aidan followed Jovie's gaze and saw that lady. She was the same lady he saw the other day. He started hurrying towards her but halted when he remembered Jovie was with him.
Damn! Why today of all days?
"What happened? Do you know her?" Jovie repeated.
He looked at Jovie and answered. "No."
Jovie found his behavior dubious. She had been comfortable with him from the start but now she started questioning herself.
What if he is unsafe to be with?
What if he's dangerous?
Am I trusting him too quickly?
Am I doing right?
Torn between her what if's and am I's, Jovie decided to find out the truth for herself maintaining a comfortable distance from him.
Aidan walked towards his car.
"Let's just walk." Jovie decided noticing that Aidan stayed in a familiar area.
Mochi's was at a walkable distance from Aidan's house. Just 5 minutes walk and was safer than travelling in car.
"At your service, mon trésor." Aidan smirked.
**
"So, why are you here." Jovie asked carefully as they were walking.
"Why that sudden interest in me, bébé?" Aidan smirked. "I thought you wanted to know about yourself."
Did he just call me baby? Why did it make my heart flutter?
Jovie remembered the morning incident and shut her mouth in embarrassment. She just concentrated on their walking now.
