Strawberries Lips

Lisa Pov :

Claire, a middle-aged woman called 'Mom' by Dave. She's been looking at me happily ever since. She is about 40 years old, but still looks very beautiful and graceful. Dave inherited black eyes and lips. Her hand stroked mine gently as if holding a very precious treasure.

This is totally beyond my expectation. Of all the places in all corners of the city, I met Dave, the demon boy again at this restaurant. Jessy texted to introduce her future husband to me. It was a gathering of two families, and I was the only one. One day if there is a day I have to get married too, Jessy is my only family.

Her future husband is Dalen Wilson, a Hotel Manager. Their family was friendly, and didn't ask much why I was the only family member who came, probably Dalen had explained before.

After an hour or so, I went outside to get some fresh air. However, not fresh air, I met a bastard boy from the past who was kissing in the elevator. He and the woman in his arms looked at me as I hesitantly entered the elevator with them. He looked me over from head to toe, then smiled disdainfully.

"I guess you still can't forget me. After breaking up you even wrote sad words in your book, gosh I almost regretted leaving you, but look, you still can't wear makeup. You even always refuse me to kiss you, boring!" Two years ago I was a crazy girl who liked this bastard man in front of me. The girl beside him kissed him again, asking him to just ignore me.

"I have. A lover!"

TING!

The elevator door opened. I raised my head. A handsome man in a black suit was standing there, outside the elevator door, in front of me. I remember it, Dave William. Without thinking, I approached him. Kissed him, then pulled him away from the elevator. And here we were, caught in a position that Claire couldn't explain.

"Lisa, when are you guys planning to get married?" Claire slightly tugged my hand, it was obvious she was in a very happy state. If jumping at her age is a sign of joy, she's probably going to jump excitedly too.

I smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to act. Claire seems like a friendly mother, harder to deal with than a woman who swears or is rude. Dave grabbed Claire's shoulder, he also looked confused.

"Mom, Lisa isn't ready to get married yet, we have to respect her decision right?" Dave said softly to Claire.

"Is that true Lisa?" Claire looked at me expectantly, her expression sad. I looked at Dave, asking for a solution. He just nodded and gestured. Lying a little shouldn't be a problem.

"I'm sorry Claire," I stroked her hand lightly, putting on a sorry expression. It seems that Claire really wants to see Dave get married, it can be seen from their conversation about the many arranged marriages that Dave refuses. If based on the dramas I watched, is it possible for a rich family like them to marry just to get the next heir? If so, then the world of the rich is really complicated.

"Mom you need to come back, Dad will be looking for you if you're missing for so long, okay?" Dave persuaded Claire. His eyes beckoned me to do the same. Claire exhaled slowly, hesitating, looking at me and Dave in turn.

"Fine. I'll be back, but you have to promise to take her home Dave!" Claire still didn't let go of my hand, asking Dave for reassurance before leaving. Dave looked a little confused. The fact is that we are not a couple, and taking me to his house is also impossible.

Dave looked at me gently, asking for approval.

I looked down awkwardly, also not knowing how to respond. I'm not a girl who will make a profit by claiming to be the lover of a handsome rich man that many girls out there want. Usually I like my aloofness, ignoring everyone.

But right now I was even being polite and awkward in front of Dave and Claire. I cursed myself in my heart.

"Okay, I'll take her home sometime. Now go back, we still have a lot of things to do, okay?" Claire finally let go of my hand reluctantly. Waving to me before leaving, after getting Dave's promise.

After Claire left, our mood changed again. Lying to Claire wasn't entirely Dave's fault. I was the one who kissed and pulled him with me. Claire found us in the wrong position. What's wrong with me? How can I also return the kiss? My face reddened at the memory. I've never kissed a guy before, Dave was the first. I didn't realize my body was responding to it.

He looks like a guy who does it a lot, how could I lose control just because of his deep voice in my throat and his soft plump lips. Good grief! What do I think?

"What are you thinking? Your face is even red huh?" Dave pushed me against the wall.

Locked my feet with one leg. He grabbed my chin, forcing us to meet eyes.

I looked up, not moving. His black eyes looked deep into mine, it felt like he was skinning him. I studied his face. Well-groomed eyebrows, pointed nose and long eyelashes. Every part of his face looks like a painting, neatly arranged and perfectly beautiful. His skin is clean, without acne scars or other skin problems. The strawberry scent from his lips grew stronger the closer he got.

"Wow," I lowered my head for a moment, noticing my spontaneous muttering. What's wrong with me? How can I mumble like that, I hope he doesn't hear it.

"Happy to see?" Dave lifted my chin again, chuckling.

Deg! It's the first time I've seen him laugh. The small dimple on his right cheek hadn't been seen before, it seemed like it would appear if he laughed. His eyes were slightly squinted, his neat teeth were partially visible. Whether it's because of how close we are or because I gave him my first kiss, I felt it, my heart beating unnaturally.

"Stay away!" I pushed him, not strong.

His feet didn't even move, still locked onto me. Maybe he just felt like he was being tickled. His little laugh sounded again, it was like being tickled, it seemed.

One hand grabbed both of my arms, lifting them up, pressing them against the wall. Lock me up so there's no more resistance. His face was pressed against mine. His high nose touched mine. His breath felt cold against my skin.

"So, Miss Lisa, are you willing to come home with me?" Dave said quietly, his voice deep.

I could feel my heart beating faster. I remember scenes like this in dramas, so this is how it feels. Did the actresses who played out scenes like this also feel their unusual heartbeats like me? Oh, God ! I really want to run away right now. I wanted to answer him, but the words couldn't come out.

He looked at me, waiting for an answer, his eyes full of inquiry.

One side of his lips lifted slightly, smiling mischievously. His hand tucks my hair behind my ear, burying his face in the hairless side of my neck. His breath was cold there, blowing like a tickle. I froze, increasingly unable to move. This man, really dangerous for the heart. I had to get away from him immediately, or he would notice my red face and abnormal heart.

"If we meet again for the third time, I will definitely tie you up in my house, Lisa. I mean it!" He whispered back softly in my ear, making me move a little.

Gosh Lisa, wake up. I need to get away from him immediately.

He pulled back his face, making our eyes meet again. My legs started to go limp, he looked like he was going to eat me all out with his deep gaze. Before starting to look for a way to escape, he had already let go of my hand slowly.

Until his body, stop locking me, my body is free. Without counting down again I immediately run, away from him. I know my face must be really red right now. Dave William, the man I had to stay away from for the safety of my heart.
