13: Working Together (pt.2)

Kiara's POV :

My heart jumped in my ribcage when the doorbell rang. It was as if thousands of butterflies were unleashed in my stomach. He's here!

I ran my hand through my messy hair in order to tidy them. I was having a bad hair day.

My heart was beating like crazy when I opened the door. Sinn was standing there with grace. He had that mischievous smirk on his face and his deep green eyes shone dangerously.

"Won't you welcome me?" he rasped.

I nodded timidly, not trusting my voice. In times like this, he managed to make me flustered. Suddenly, my eyes locked with his and I gulped loudly. My mouth went dry as his piercing gaze continued piercing me.

"Have a seat,  uh- make yourself at home- yeah," I finished rather awkwardly.  Damn!  That was idiotic.

He chuckled and took a seat on the sofa, his gaze affixed on me. He took out a cigar and lit it. I squirmed under his gaze.

"Uh- I'll bring so-"

"Don't bother yourself," his deep voice cut, "I only require a glass of water."

I nodded and excused myself. As soon as I was out of his sight, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I placed a hand on my heart, which was beating like crazy. Closing my eyes, I waited for it to calm down.

When I gave him the water, he let out a puff of smoke and maintained our eye contact. I didn't dare breaking it, neither did he. When his hand brushed with mine, a jolt of chill ran down my spine. He noticed my reaction and smirked.

"We should get down to business," his voice dropped an octave, suggesting something forbidden.

"Wha- no- I,"

"I meant the assignment, Kiara. I'm here to help you after all," his smirk didn't falter.

"You did that on purpose!" I accused him.

"Aw- You should've seen your expression babe, totally worth it!" he burst out laughing.

I pouted as I crossed my hands on my chest, "Yeah, yeah, stop laughing like a hyaena on cocaine."

He started laughing louder.

And the tension is gone, My subconscious was sipping milkshake.

"Yeah, let's get started."

"Sinn, can we take a break?" I yawned.

"But the assignment-"

"We can do it later," I stood up and tugged on his arm, "Please?"

He sighed loudly, "Fine. What'cha got?" I could tell he was bored too.

"Want some ice cream?" I asked him enthusiastically.

"You have some?" He raised one of his eyebrows.

"Ahuh, I guess I have the chocolate one," I wondered, shuffling through the freezer, "Do you want?"

He seemed to contemplate my question for a moment and then nodded his head. I tossed the ice cream box to him and he caught it perfectly. No sooner had he caught that, he started digging in.

"Hey! You stupid piggy! Don't eat all of it!"

"Should've thought before giving it to me," he said in a mocking tone. Ah that jerk! Suddenly an idea came onto me and I smirked, of course internally.
