Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 207

Chapter 207

The cold water in the fridge was all gone, and Seraphina, after a moment’s thought, decided to dropsome ice cubes into a glass, fill it with water, and give it to Leandro.

She went upstairs with the glass, her heart full of anticipation.

Sure, it was just a glass of water, but to her, it was a sign of her growing connection with him.

The day had the feel of a teenage fantasy-fleeting but enchanting, even if it might have been an illusion

Yet, as Seraphina re-entered her room with a glass of water, that gentle reverie dissolved There, at herdesk, sat Leandro, thumbing through her textbooks. Panic surged within her. She rushed over, settingthe glass down precariously while trying to reclaim her book

Caught off guard, Leandro released the textbook. But in that hurried motion, the glass teetered, thentipped, spilling cold water directly onto him.

“Oops!” Seraphina immediately started scrambling, dropping the textbook onto the floor and bendingdown to dry Leandro off, picking out ice cubes from his clothes.

Most of the water had spilled on Leandro’s pants, but in her panic, she didn’t notice and went straight toclean up his pants.

By the time she realized what she was doing, Leandro had grabbed her wrist.

This was, without a doubt, pretty awkward

Seraphina blushed so hard that het ears turned red. She lowered her gaze, took a moment to composeherself, then looking at the toppled glass, she bit her lip and said, I’ll go get you another glass of water

Even though the air conditioning was on, the room somehow felt heated.

Leandro cleared his throat, trying to keep his composure.

Seraphina quickly picked up the glass and went to refill it, while Leandro turned his attention back tothe textbook she had just snatched from him.

What could possibly be in it that had her so on edge?

Curiosity getting the better of him, Leandro reached out and picked up the textbook again.

Seraphina, standing at the door, glanced back to see Leandro holding the textbook again

Before her mind had a chance to react, her body was already racing back towards him,

Seeing her like this, Leandro leaned back in his chair, clutching the textbook.

But Seraphina, throwing caution to the wind, lunged at the textbook –

“Thud!”

Leandro toppled over with his chair, and Seraphina, who had thrown herself at him, fell with him.

As they hit the floor, the cover of the textbook in Leandro’s hand flipped open-

The first page revealed a portrait: short hair, a white shirt, deep-set eyes, and a familiar, smiling face

Both Seraphina and Leandro simultaneously looked at the drawing. While he was taken aback, she feltas if her world had paused.

The secret was now unmistakable

Frozen, Seraphina couldn’t react. Leandro took a moment to compare the portrait to her before lockingeyes with her. Her flushed face pévealed her vulnerability and surprise.

He had always sensed her affection but brushed it off as a fleeting crush. Yet now, that same girl wasclose to him, radiating a tender shyness.

His hand was casually resting on her body, the heat from her body slowly seeping into his.

Leandro thought he must be drunk.

He felt the heat from her body seep into his, and the dryness in his throat returned.

Looking at the blushing girl in front of him, his mind suddenly flashed with inappropriate images.

By the time he realised what he was thinking, his brain was telling him to push her away, but he foundhimself gripping her wrist tighter,

“Are you always this hot?” he asked in a low voice

Seraphina looked lost and confused, her breath quickening as she met his gaze, unable to form aresponse.

She was eye’shaking a little

Leandro’s hand settled on her waist, drawing her closer. “What are you afraid of?” he whispered.

Seraphina’s eyelids fluttered shut Fear wasnt the right word, she felt a mix of exhilaration, anticipation,and nerves. She had never imagined this moment – Iser feelings exposed to him, especially when shefelt so caught off guard. The uncertainty of his reaction weighed on her, and her heart raced in

response

The warmth of Leandro’s hand was a comforting contrast to her nervous coolness. An overwhelmingrush of emotions made her feel as if she was burning up. When she opened her eyes, she hesitatedbriefly before leaning in pressing her bps to his

It was an impulsive move, unplanned and without forethought. It began gently, just the tender touch oflips. But the soft press quickly deepened into a Tervent embrace. Though inexperienced, she let herselfbe guided by Leandro’s assertiveness.

She trambled, caught in the whirlwind of emotions and sensations. Lost In the moment, she struggledto grasp the reality of their closeness. By morning.

there was no denying that their relationship had shifted profoundly…..

The next day, Leandro personally drove her to school.

Last night, he seemed to have been influenced by alcohol, losing control, while she, dazed andconfused, hadnt come to her senses till now.

Both of them overslept in the morning She didn’t have breakfast and rushed out of the house. By thetime she got to school, she was late. So he parked the car by the side of the road and suggested thatshe grab something to eat before heading to school.

She picked a fast food joint that she often went to.

Leandro sat with her in the restaurant.

Class time had long passed, and the whole street was pretty much deserted. The restaurant was aboutas empty as a ghost town, except for the two of

them.

The owner had known Seraphina for quite some time now, but his eyes couldn’t help but linger onLeandro, who didn’t quite fit the mold of a student nor a

parent.

After all, a guy as dashing as Leandro was a sight unseen in this little joint.novelbin

When the waitress brought the breakfast over, Seraphina dove into her meal while Leandro didn’t touchhis. He just lit up a cigarette and watched her in silence

By the time Leandro finished his smoke, Seraphina had barely made a dent in her meal

At this point, Leandro finally broke the silence and asked. “Did you get scared yesterday?”

Seraphina took a sip of her Coke in silence before finally looking up at him and saying, “Nope.”

The intensity and resolve in her gaze caught him off guard

After staring at her for a moment, Leandro suddenly burst into laughter
