Chapter 57: Unfinished business with Zoe 1

"What's up with you man? You look shaken up". Liam asked as I sat with them at the table, slowly eating my food. I glanced at him. I couldn't tell him what I was deep in thought about.

"I'm good". I mumbled and forked down another spoonful.

"Hmm". Liam replied and I saw the rest of them staring at me. I suddenly decided I didn't want to be there anymore. I stood up from the table and stretched.

"I'm a little tired today. I need some rest". I told them and walked off.

To the left of the common room, there's a small space where a scanty garden grows. There's usually no one there and you can sit in solitude if you want. Bella told me about it one day we were talking and I'd never been there before but today seemed like a good day to check it out so I went off in the left direction.

As I rounded the corner, I heard footsteps behind me and hastily turned around. It was Zoe. She was dressed in a lemon colored gown that brought out the color of her eyes and she smiled when we locked eyes.

"What are you doing?" I asked in a harsher voice than I intended.

She frowned. "I was worried about you". She said. "You seem off today".

I felt an itch at the back of my neck and my hand automatically moved to rub it. "I'm fine. I told her. As you can see".

She blinked. "Okay. Well I'm not fine". She paused in took in a sharp breath. "I miss you".

I shook my head. I was going through a predicament of my own but here she was, focused on her needs. I knew she didn't come because she was worried, she came because she wanted us to continue what we started the other day. At least now she could say her mind and not pretend.

I sighed. I didnt feel like doing anything remotely sexual and I just wanted to sit by myself for a while till it was time to sleep. However a little distraction wouldn't hurt. In fact it could even make me feel better. Plus I needed lust points to make myself stronger. It I wasn't going to get more mana points, I could at least get lust points.

"Me too". I said simply.

Zoe's face broke into a smile. "Really?"

"Yes". I lied.

She walked up to me and gave me a hug. As she melted into my arms, I was relived we were hidden from plain view as I didn't want Emily to see us fraternizing. Zoe reached up and pulled my face down for a kiss. Our lips locked with a furry fiery passion that surprised me. Either this girl was in love with me or she was just madly in heat.

[kiss, +20 lust points]

She pulled back and stared at me with her lips parted slightly. She panted as she looked at me.

"I want you so bad". She confessed.

I smiled and looked around. "I want you too but the circumstances are less than ideal".

She shook her head. "Not here, I have a place".

I looked at her in surprise. "You have a place?"

She nodded. "Yes". S~eaʀᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
