Chapter 87
Zeke and Katie were coming closer so I diverted my attention to them.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Katie wrapped me around her arms in welcome.
She probably did that for the tenth time now.
“I’m really glad you’re alive, Nass. I don’t know what could possibly if you really died for real.” She started tearing up as Zeke comforted her.
“I will tell Kei that Theo kissed you in the cheek.” Both Katie and I turned to Zeke to give him a glare.
“Woah, okay!” He raised both his hands in the air and took a step away from us.
“But Nass, as far as I know, Kei will be going home tomorrow.” I nodded at her.
I still have time to prepare myself before seeing him again.
The thought of seeing him again makes my heart beat faster…
“The food is ready!” We all turned to Ema as she spoke.
Her eyes widened in shame.
“U-Uhmm, Nass? You’ll be the one to handle this, okay.” I chuckled before nodding at Ema.
“Come on eat, everyone.” All of them went to the table gladly.
My heart is beating so fast…
We’re currently at the living room next to the front door.
Cleaning…
Because Keian will be arriving soon.
Manang is sitting on a sofa, watching us clean up.
There’s a new maid here, a daughter of one of Keian’s trusted men that has been here for a long time now.
She’s pretty young, probably around 19 years old while I’m already 23.
She’s a bit shy but awfully friendly.
Ema is in the kitchen, cleaning since we’ve been assigned here.
I flashed a smile at Manang.
My happiness wouldn’t be compared to the moment Manang finally woke up from her coma.
Even though she couldn’t move freely because of the struggle in her body.
Zeke wouldn’t let her go because Manang is so important to them.
“Ate(Older sister), this is actually nerve-wracking. What’s going on?” Roxy asked in a hushed voice.
“Don’t you know the person your dad is working for?” She pouted.
“A little. He told me he’s a very kind man but is literally serious when it comes to serious situations.” I nodded as she was correct.
“But the problem is, he’s gorgeously annoying that’s why here we are right now, cleaning.” Roxy looked confused at what I said.
“How—”
“Hey. Maître is here.” Roxy’s eyes widened as she lowered her head quickly.
Manang and I looked at each other for a while before bowing our heads down.
“Welcome back, Kei.” Zeke greeted him.
“Tsk.” I almost gasped as I heard his voice.
“Why is your hand bleeding? Do you have any injuries?” I saw the two of them enter and Keian moved his hand to remove the blood from his fist.
His deep and manly voice.
“Someone chased me. I gave them a good beating.” Zeke chuckled as he looked at where Keian’s gaze is.
It was towards Roxy and I.
“Huhu. The way Maître is looking at us is scary.”
“You hired new maids?” Keian narrowed his eyes at the both of us.
“Ahh. Yes. If you don’t mind. There is only one maid left in here, she couldn’t clean the whole mansion alone or cook for all the people living in here.” I can feel his eyes lingering on me.
I gulped.
“Fine. Just make sure they’re not from some agency or f—ed up family.” He coldly stated and climbed up the stairs with blood still dripping from his hand.
How nice… just like the old times.
As we made sure Keian had entered his room completely, we looked up from our bowing position.
“Sorry about that.” Zeke told me.
I sighed.
“It’s alright. I’ll just clean up all the blood. Seriously, this had to happen all the time…” Zeke laughed and pats me on the back in salutation.
“Go, maid.” I rolled my eyes at him and started cleaning the trail of blood that went up to the stairs above.
While getting closer and closer to Keian’s room, my heart rate just kept getting faster and faster at the same time.
When I’m finally in front of Keian’s door, I was pulled from the inside.
My eyes widened in shock as I looked at the man who squeezed me against the door of the room.
I badly missed his scent and his room…
My lips curved into a smile as his eyes widened as if he just saw a ghost.
We stayed quiet while looking at each other.
His hair is a little bit messy and I just want to touch it.
So I did.
Feeling the softness of his hair, I still stared at him.
He swallowed a lump in his throat before closing his eyes.
“Keian…” I stated his name.
“Oh God…” He snaked his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him.
He buried his face at the crook of my neck so I wrapped my arms around him, as well.
I missed him…
“I-Is this real?” He stuttered.
I bit my lip and tightened the way I was hugging him.
“Keian.”
“Sh8t. You’re real.” I felt him starting to tremble.
He tightens the grip around my waist.
“Nass?”
“Hmm?” He groaned. He slightly pulled me away to look into my eyes.
He’s still in shock but at the same time, he’s happy.
He cupped my cheeks and wiped the tears that were rolling down from it.
I noticed a scar on his hand as if something had gone deep in it.
“Nassandra.” He keeps repeating saying my name. Making himself believe that I’m now in his side again.
Later, he frowned and knelt down.
“I am so sorry, baby. I-I can’t save you. I pushed you away. I’m a jerk. I should’ve spend more time with… I thought you’re gone.” His eyes watered.
I did the same and held his face to wipe away the tears that are falling from his eyes.
“It’s okay, Keian. I’m the one who should say sorry. I’m the reason why you saw Maximo again.” He lets out what seems to be a growl then stared right through my eyes.
Our noses met as our lips are getting closer to each other.
“Nonsense. You’re the best thing that ever happened to me. You’re innocently beautiful.” He held my chin.
His thumb rubs against my scar on the lips.
“You deserve so much better.”
“Then I deserve you.” He distanced himself again and observed me.
After so many months, I got a glimpse of his smile again.
“I love you, Nass.” I smiled back at him and let our foreheads touch each other.
“I love you too, Keian.” He was slightly surprised at what I replied.
“Really?”
“Hmmm.” Was my only response.
Our lips met.
The longing and desire of each other lingers…
I pushed myself away from him as I almost couldn’t breathe anymore.
He pressed his hands on my back so I was being pulled closer to him even more.
He kissed me on the lips again before carrying me towards his bed.
“I missed sleeping with you.” He took off his shirt which made me see his outrageously gorgeous, fit body.
He laid down beside me and held me closer and tighter.
As if he was being careful that I might be gone once he didn’t tighten his hold on me.
“Nass.” I rested my head on his chest, feeling the warmth of his presence.
He held me protectively.
“Thank you baby… for coming into my life.” I felt his lips on my forehead.
Me too. Keian…
