Chapter 9

Zoya pov:

I walked inside my house suddenly feeling so hot.

I pressed my hands on my hot cheeks.

Memories hit me. The way his beard tickles me.

His hot breath on my neck.

Him whispering in my ear.

His soft lips on my forehead.

If his lips feel so good on the forehead how good they'll feel when he finally places kisses all over my body.

Bad Zoya. That's never going to happen.

But he just confessed that he likes me.

That's what i mean, he only like me nothing more.

But he's still confused about his feelings.

Whatever he said today that he suddenly changed and he likes me feels so new to me.

Why suddenly he changed?

Is it because our contract is ending soon?

His feelings are growing towards me because our contract is ending what does it mean?

And why I'm also feeling attracted towards him after spending years ignoring that feeling?

So many questions storm inside of my head.

"Zo..?" My mom voice made me come back to reality that I'm sticking on the door for the past 15 minutes thinking about Conner.

I straighten my back "Yes Mom"

"Are you okay?" Her eyes shows worry "I'm watching you for the past 10 minutes since you came inside the house after saying goodbye to Mr. Slade you are thinking something. Is something but bothering you."

I smiled awkwardly"No mom nothing is bothering me" i start walking away "I'm going to sleep Good Night"

She grab my hand facing me again "I'm your Mom Zo and i know how you feels. I saw the way you looked at him and the way he looked at you."

I opened my mouth to protest but she silence me by her hand.

"I know you both are too confused by this feeling but hear me out, confess it before it get too late and you both regret it. Give eachother a chance life is too short so just tell eachother about how you both feel. Otherwise you'll just regret it all your life that there was chance but you both missed it" she hugs me "Good Night my child. I hope you get what you are dreaming about" he kissed my cheek and left.

I walked towards my room thinking about my mom words.

She's right we can give it a chance.

And i think he also feel the same.

I changed into my pajamas and lie on my bed thinking about Conner.

One of us has to take a step forward.

Or else we are going to just regret it forever.

No I don't want to live in regret.

I'll think about something before the contract ends.

Thinking about that i fall asleep.
