Chapter 26 〰 Different Sensations

Ross' POV

"Can I pick you up from school tomorrow?"

"Sure," she sat up straight from the lounge chair, smiling softly as I gave her the signed medical paper.

"You need to put in mind what we've talked about today, Lia."

"Yeah, yeah," she rolled her eyes, standing up to pick her backpack to head to the door. "He ain't a monster unless I say so."

My heart grew rage at her actions combined with her words making me forcefully grip her arms, to pull her towards me.

"Lia," I looked at her sternly making her bite the inside of her cheek as it reddened. "He still has his boundaries."

"Don't worry about me," she softened, smiling lightly as I loosened my grip on her, "I'll give him what he deserves without crossing any boundaries. Starting today."

"Good girl," I mumbled, completely letting go of her, my heart breaking as she spoke.

What a devil that she is...dragging me into her love life while I'm left in hopes of filling it myself. They're all dreams and hopes after all.

She turned to face me properly, pouting, probably having her mind hold her back from what she wants to do. Her arms suddenly wrapped around my neck, engulfing me in a tight hug which brought shock in me.

I felt her pull away, making me temp to face her to suddenly feel the sensation of her lips on the corner of mine.

I gasped. And honestly, it was effortless. My body took itself over, my heart went wild where I felt its pulse in my cheeks and forehead.

I was practically shocked, almost as if having electricity run through my nerves.

"I'm so sorry! I meant- jeeeeez... I was going for your cheek, oh my," she started rambling as my vocals froze a little more, my arms unable to even flinch.

She was about to slide the door when I finally found the nerves to pull her back, grabbing her face, softly placing a kiss on her cheek. "There, you have your kiss."

I tried my best to speak, ending up with a monotone sentence which probably got things even more awkward.

"I'm sorry-"

"It's okay, Lia," I managed to let out a chuckle, trying to break the dry ice between us when she's practically pinned to the door with only a few millimeters between us.

"Alright," she giggled, side hugging me one last time before sliding the door making me take a hint of her sweet, slightly faint perfume. "I'll see you tomorrow. "

"Bye, bye," I mumbled, frozen on my tracks, hearing the door slide close.

Damn.

"Sweet baby karma."

"Doctor Ly- oh..Uhm," the door opened again after a knock revealing Michelle, who decided to do nothing but stare at my amazed state, "you alright?"

"No."

"Oh. Well, you have one last patient who is only asking for a check-up.

"Sure."

To say she was looking at me weird would be an understatement.

I'd look at myself weird at such situations.

She opened the door a little wider for me, to have my mouth do the same too.
