Finding Love (Bastard Princess)

"Lance Birthday" (part one)

Chapter 18

"Zia... wake up.. Hey..."  an equable voice missing in my ear, and a mild nudge caused me to snap  on my bed. "Sleeping child wake up..." a mild voice again. I just turned my face on the other side. A seconds later, I felt a warm thing landed on my face. When I open my eyes, it was Brian's lips on my face again! I pushed him out of mine-his bed, landed on the floor!

"Jeez! Zia! Are you going to kill me?" he stood up with a grin on his face.

"What are you doing here? Why are you kissing me again!?" I hissed in a sleepy voice.

"I'm waking you.. We have to go now." he sang. "Get up! Or I will kiss you again!" I suddenly stood up out of his bed. "Ouch!! Do you really need to be sudden that way?" he act like hurting. "I thought you like my kisses..." he turned to walk the doorway with his shoulder down.

Was he for real? I really like his kisses. But he constantly does that in surprise.

Eh! So you require him to ask you first if he can kiss you?

No! I stand for, why is he kissing me anyway!? Alright,  he called me lovely, Honey, Babe, a kid, a child and even a princess. Why can't he call me simply by name? Why-

Why can't he treat you like a grown up?

Exactly!

why don't you act like one anyway? You always act like a child, a baby.

No I'm not!

Yes you are!

"Shut up!!"

"Hey Zia! Are you okay in there? Who are you speaking to?" Brian asked on the other side of my closed door.

Oh... I said it loud..

After taking my bath, I storm out of the room and walk to the living room.

"Brian..?"

"Kitchen!" oh, yea.. His favorite place with my preferred foods.

While taking my bath, I was thinking about the kiss and me growing up. Why not now? I'm already eighteen anyway.. I leaned over and peeked through the kitchen door. I watched him making pancake on his apron. I skidded to his side and surprised him with a sneak kiss on his cheek while my hands clutches on his grayish shirt. He was dumbfounded and I was like  grinning in triumph in my very first ever attempt grown up kiss on a guy! What a triumph!?

"Brian... my pancake is-"

"You're such a shocking Zia!" he turned off the pan before he confronted me. "Now little naughty what's that for?" still shocked, only now he's grinning so wide. You Know when the aftermath is blowing you right? I turned to run, but he captured me before I made my first step. "Not so fast, sweetheart... you just got me on with that, you have to pay in accord with your action.

"I just kissed you!!"

"Hell! You're getting it worst more!"

"Hey.. Don't get mad now.. That was my first kiss attempt. And-"

"Jeez!" he cut me with that and kissed me so hard.. I don't know how to respond so I just feel him and put my hands above his neck.

after like a forever kissing, he managed to let me go. my arms was still clutching on his nick, while his arms was tangled at my back. With his forehead on mine, we both are catching our breath.

"Tell me. ." He sang, and kissed my nose.

"Tell you what?" I bristled.

"Why you kissed me?" he looked intensely into my eyes.

"Cause I want to?"

"Why you want to?" he was smirking. And I'm like, back off Zia!

"Cause I like you.. I mean your food. Can we eat now?  I'm hungry!" I buckled off my arms around his neck.

"Later Babe.. We're not done yet."

"What do you mean we-"

And.. He kissed me again for a minute I guess, before he let me eat the pancake.

The sound of laughing creatures bolted me up from the couch where I was sleeping. We left in Brian's  house at four in the morning. Our Trip was quite and boring. Actually, we had the mutual awkwardness after the kisses we shared. Speaking of kisses, my heart trembled when I heard Brian's voice from the other way towards where I am. My plan was to pretend that I was still sleeping, but my phone chattered on my pocket. I shoved myself up.

"Hey! Morning.." Brian cast me a kiss on my cheek from my back.

"Morning.." I muttered. I slid my phone out. Brian sat beside me, and twirls his arms close to my waist while his chin rested on my shoulder.

"Who's Kaiser? " I peeked at him staring at me above my shoulder. He was frowning at me.

"Think of a friend I told Lance that coming?"

"Yeah, I thought girl friends. Is he alone? "

"Made all five. Two girls and 3 boys."

"You hungry? I made sandwiches."

"Hmm.. Yeah." I bent to face him. Merely to give him a chance smacking my lips with his,  in a surprise.

"You like me?" he asked again tenderly. I simply smile.

"I'm hungry.." he snatched a kiss on my cheek before held me to stand.

"Unfair.." he hisses with a smile. "You constantly use your hunger for an excuse." I just smiled at him.
