Leap OF Fate novel Chapter 61

Serene’s phone vibrated on the bedside table. With eyes closed, she reached for it only to feel Justin’s hand closing on the phone. He looked at the screen and knit his brows.

“My mom’s calling you, Kitty,” he said sleepily, and handed her her cellphone, then buried his face in her neck.

“Hello?” she asked in her sleep. The voice of Elaina jolted her awake. She asked her to accompany her to go shopping. It was her idol asking her to go out! Who needs to think twice about that? Of course, she agreed to her invitation and got up from the bed, earning a dissatisfied grunt from Justin.

He tightened his hold on her waist and pulled her back into his embrace. “What’s that about,” he mumbled on her neck.

“Your mom asked me to go shopping with her,” she responded, tracing the line of his nose.

“Hmmm… stay a little longer please,” he pleaded like a little boy asking for candy. She agreed and continued to let him use her as his pillow. She lied beside him and let him sleep a little longer, threading her fingers through his long dark mane.

Serene smiled. Closing her eyes, she felt his heartbeat against her side. His rhythmic breathing tells her he’s deep in his sleep. These quiet and intimate moments with him filled her heart with happiness.

They lie there for a good half hour, Serene enjoying the view of his chiseled profile and the feel of his skin against hers. He stirred beside her and nuzzled on her neck. Then he pushed her underneath him and rained kisses on her face, giving extra attention to her mouth.

“Morning, Kitty,” he said before he kissed her lips once more. “Did Mom ask you to accompany her today, or was that a dream?” He propped himself on his elbows to better look at her.

“Yes, she called earlier. You’re not dreaming,” she smiled at him, admiring his handsome face.

“Alright.”

He got up from the bed after confirming that he was not dreaming. Just like he did in the previous mornings, he went to the bathroom to take a quick shower while Serene tidied up their bed then combed her hair.

She just finished choosing his outfit when he got out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his chest. Serene automatically approached him and helped him dry his hair.

Of course, he could do all these on his own, but he enjoyed the moments she pampered him. His day felt different if she did not attend to him, just like when she would visit her parents in Coast City by herself. He would look for her presence everywhere and when he could not find her, sadness gnaw his heart.

It was just close to three months since they lived together, but she had already grown into him. He could not imagine not having her in his life.

When he finished putting on his clothes, she helped him tie his tie. The proximity between them was tempting. Her long lashes were like tiny fans above her cheeks. Sometimes her forehead formed creases as she concentrated on her knot. Her natural scent intoxicated him. If only his first conference call was not so important, he would have ripped her clothes off and have her for breakfast.

But he had a meeting with a potentially large client, and he could no longer delay or reschedule it. Before they got down for breakfast, he reached for his wallet and picked up a card from it.
