All Chapters of Hush, Baby: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“Maisie!” I whisper at my friend and she follows my line of sight to see the creepy guy standing under the same tree, smoking a cigarette, and watching my window with a weird expression!His face is completely undecipherable, not a single emotion is clear, he just looks at my window every few seconds, then looks down and takes a puff of his cigarette!“What the hell! This is creepy!” Maisie says with a frown, not caring about the driver coughing in annoyance, the gears in her head are obviously working, and I know why, for I am having the same debate inside my head!Should I go talk to him or not! Am I ready for it? I mean sure, this is wh

There was tightness, suffocation, chaos, heaviness, but slowly, all of that was lifted, and there was lightness and warmth taking over my body, and next thing I know, I woke up!When did I fall asleep?The room is dim, not dark though, and these faint voices coming from behind the closed door of my bedroom, I can’t quite understand them, I look around me for my phone, I need to know what time is it, but I can’t find it anywhere near me!Right, it is still inside my purse on the sofa where I have left it before running away like a coward, unable to take my shame!I won

“You look pale, Baby!” Maisie asks while we walk out of the bank, somehow for I don’t know how my legs are still functioning, she keeps telling me to take break or take a seat but I ignore her and keep walking back to the car.“Are you feeling well?” No! I feel like I have just been slapped across the face, hard, with a cricket bat!And for a very obvious reason!I have hoped that I had some savings hidden somewhere, something that might help me sustenance myself during these days instead of being a complete liability on Maisie and

I stand and watch as Maisie leaves, waving at her with a small smile, trying to hide my guilt for ditching my best friend, once her car is out of my sight, I turn to the man standing in front of me.I have to admit, I am feeling anxious and wary of our proximity, I can hear my own heart beats, but surprisingly, I don’t feel scared at all for staying alone with Nate, I do have plenty of questions for him though, I just hope this bubbly feeling I feel inside me won’t stop me from doing so.“You look so beautiful!” he says with an approving smile as he runs his eyes over my body, not in a creepy lustful way, just as if evaluating my general appearance, I feel heat creeping up my face while I murmur a small thank you.

“And you kissed me?!” my question sounds like a statement, and he smiles at me, something flashing in the back of his eyes, a memory that made his green orbs radiate with happiness and satisfaction.“And I felt like the king of the world while doing so!” he says while placing his hand on the side of my jaw, it is warm and I can’t help but lean into the inviting touch, his thumb  finds its way to my lips, he first brushes the corner, so slowly and torturously, the small contact makes my whole body reacts strangely, for I feel so relaxed as if my body is immersed in warmth and softness, his thumb moves but the feeling of his touch lingers behind for several seconds, giving me all kinds of mixed signs, a rich sensation that is meant to last even after it ends
