Chapter 44
Selena wondered if she should give herself to him later that night, but he had only just proposed toher without even any confession of love beforehand, and she did not know what he had in mind. Infact, she didn’t even know what she herself thought about this matter. Regardless, we should betaking it slow, right? Isn’t this development a little too fast? After all, we have only known each otherfor a month.
The phone ringing broke the silence in the kitchen. At first, Pierre was a little annoyed, but theringing kept urging his brain to return to normal, so he left Selena's lips and picked up the call.
When he turned around, Selena hurriedly wiped her lips, which felt numb, raw and even a little sore.This is my first kiss, right? She hadn't even kissed Finneas before, and as for that first time of hers,she couldn't remember it at all.
"I got it." Pierre hung up the phone. The call was from Niall, who was waiting for him at the airport.
After the kiss, the two of them looked at each other awkwardly.
"I'll cook right away!" Selena came back to her senses and immediately prepared to cook.
"Don't do it. Your hand is injured." Pierre paused and then said, "I'll do it."
"Huh?" Selena looked on in amazement at Pierre, who started to skillfully cut the vegetables. As hestood in front of the low counter, his tall figure caused him to have to bend over, which made himlook a bit awkward. Selena thought that men should know how to cook as well, but this was the firsttime she actually saw a man cooking, and it was a man with such a masculine vibe to boot.
Previously, she had always heard people say that men looked a bit girly when they cooked, butwhen she saw the way Pierre cooked, she thought he was really stunning. This handsome manactually proposed to me!
Soon, Pierre was done making two bowls of noodles, and they sat at the table, eating slowly insilence. After eating the noodles, Pierre got ready to leave as he was already running late for hisflight.
"I’m leaving."
"Oh, I'll send you off then."novelbin
The atmosphere between the two people was a little awkward and strange as they walked to thedoor together.
"Uh, safe travels I guess?"
“Alright." Pierre turned to leave.
“Um…” Then, Selena came up to him once more, feeling like her heart was about to jump out of herchest. She could practically hear her own heartbeat. Thump, thump, thump.
In fact, when Pierre accompanied Juniper through that dark time, she had thought that she couldgive herself and Juniper a chance, and they could start another life together; maybe it would also bea chance for the two little boys as well.
“I want to say… I…” Selena rubbed her hands together uneasily as she tried to find her words. Inthe meantime, Pierre looked at Selena's hesitant look, his face going cold. "I forgot to tell you thatI'm going on a business trip tomorrow."
Selena jerked her head up to look at him. "B-Business trip?" She never thought that his workrequired him to travel.
"Yes, I’ll be away for a while." As he answered her question seriously, he looked her in the eyes aswell.
“Oh… Then…” This sudden news caused Selena to feel very uneasy as she fiddled with the ring onher finger. "When are you coming back?"
"I don't know." Staring at Selena's anxious look made Pierre suddenly feel reluctant to go again.
"Then should I get them both over here and I'll take care of them for you?"
"No need for that."
"Then… Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back." Selena used a lot of courage to say the last fewwords; after all, this sentence sounded rather cheesy.
