ELLA.
I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole the moment the door pushed open.
The timing… it couldn't have been worse.
Heat rushed instantly to my face, embarrassment flooding through me so fast it left me momentarily frozen. I quickly adjusted my pyjamas, my hands moving almost nervously as I tried to compose myself and tried to look like nothing had just happened.
But it was impossible.
My lips still burned.
The lingering sensation from Leonard's kiss refused to fade, and for a brief, shameful moment, I couldn't deny the truth…I hadn't wanted him to stop.
The realization made my chest tighten.
The way he had held me… the way he had kissed me…It was different, I mean so different from anything I had ever experienced before.
And definetely so different from Alex.
Gosh, I can't believe I'm comparing them right now!
And subconsciously, a quiet thought slipped into my mind before I could stop it.
Did Alex ever truly love me?
