202 The chase

Author's note: this is from Duke's point of view

Lunch with Serina was like a meal in Heaven and I wished for my every next meal to be with her. And not just meals… I wished for my every moment to be filled with Serina's presence.

She is beautiful, smart, witty, and totally focused on me. And let's not forget that her scent is intoxicating.

It was just like in high school, with the addition of me holding her hand and kissing it occasionally. She didn't pull back or protest. Amazing.

I wanted to embrace her and kiss her senselessly, right on those inviting lips, just how she asked me many times before in what she believes were dreams, but I knew that it's not time yet. Soon.

God, how much I missed her!

Other than a few insignificant interruptions, things went great.
