Kissing

Their closeness distracts her. She blinked at him a few times, trying to calm her heart.

But, after a few seconds, she felt there was no point in hiding anything from him because she could feel; her expression couldn't hide her feelings now.

After a deep breath, she said, "We cried talking about the time Aunt Noora and I left the country..." Bella smiled when she saw his expression turn dark; she continued, "Tristan, I know you don't want to hear it, right?"

Tristan didn't answer her, but he leaned closer and kissed her lips.

Bella was stunned. Even though it was only a light kiss on the lips, she felt her heart almost explode as her heartbeat raced. Too shocked by his sudden kiss, she turned away from him while trying hard to calm her heart.

She tried to pray to God, hoping Tristan would leave her alone or at least not talk about their kiss, or she would be even more shy.
