chapter forty eight

her heart kept thumping, he removed her from his hold, stepped back and stared at her, he moved closer again and

he slowly traced his two fingers from her hand to her shoulders and then his hand rested on her neck, he rubbed it a little, she wanted to say something but it didn't come out.

his arms snaked around her,

he held her closer with his one hand wrap around her shoulder, hugging her and the other hand slowly moved from her neck to her chin, he lifted her head up and his hand brushed her lips which was opened to say something but couldn't come out, he moved closer and when their lips was about to touch each other he moved to her ear and he said something that made Joan's eyes opened wild, he stared at her again and she became also lost in his, he removed her from his hold and allowed his both hands move to her neck, he slowly moved it to touch her face

then placed his forehead against her when she lifted her head up to meet his gaze.

they were so close and just then

"your.... temperature is still high" she said

he chuckled a little and told Joan to be quiet,

he placed a kiss on her forehead and later he rubbed his nose with hers and then their breathe mingled together as he moved closer to her to close a certain gap

"I had a dream and it was the nicest and sweetest dream I have ever had and I didn't want to wake up. did I tell you I also had a very peaceful sleep, one that I never remember I had. what happened?!! what I felt, what I touched, what I experienced was it real or a dream, even if it was a dream I did it, i was able to fulfill my most desired, even if it was a dream and I love every piece of it" a thought from Nick
