246 246. Markus leaving tomorrow
“Do you plan to keep standing there or join us for dinner?” Grandpa said, though his tone was reprimanding, anyone could tell how much he doted on Markus.
Markus instantly cheered up, even though he tried to show a poker face as if he couldn’t care less whether his grandparents asked for him or not.
He walked in slow steps towards grandpa, before instantly hooking his arm with grandpa’s like a small kid.
“Look at you. Being so pathetically clingy! Go away.” Grandpa said, trying to free himself from Markus’s grip and shoo him away, but ultimately stopped, liking it a little.
The dinner went on with usual rambling, the Evans mansion being so lively after many days.
“Where is mother?” Kizy asked, remembering that Mary should be off work by now.
“She is working overtime for their recent project. She won’t be joining us today.” Grandma replied.
“Mother is truly dedicated to her work. I admire her a lot!” Kizy said in a sincere tone.
“That’s called ‘not paying attention to your own health’ and not some DEDICATION!” Markus said, taunting from the side, feeling a little bad for his always busy mom.
“Look who’s saying. If not for my call, didn’t you plan to work some more and go back home late?” Grandma asked.
“Anyways, when are you leaving for country F?” Grandpa asked, getting serious all of a sudden.
“I had planned to leave this weekend but matters on the other side are escalating a lot. Hence I am planning to leave tomorrow evening itself.” Markus said while throwing a glance at Kizy, who as expected choked on her food.
“Here.” Grandma instantly passed Kizy a glass of water.
Kizy apologetically looked at grandma before gulping the entire glass down.
In reality, Kizy hadn’t choked on her food, but she felt something heavy hitting her chest when she heard Markus was leaving tomorrow.
She was still hesitating to let Markus go all by himself. After all, they had been through a life and death battle once, so it wasn’t wrong of her to worry about Markus.
Rest of the dinner went on casually, with grandpa asking a few more questions to Markus and him answering them all.
Alas, the couple was allowed to leave the mansion only when it was late at night.
“You seem quite zoned out today.” Markus commented while driving his black maybach, without turning to look towards Kizy.
“Hmmm?” Kizy asked, not understanding what Markus said.
“Is something bothering you?” Markus asked, not diverting his attention from the road ahead.
“You.” Kizy said after a moment.
“Don’t tell me that my charm has made you go crazy.” Markus said, trying to uplift her mood.
“You and charm? Are these two words even related?” Kizy asked, coming out of her thoughts, knowing that this was exactly what Markus wanted.
“I can smell jealousy.” Markus said, lifting one brow playfully.
“And I can see ugliness.” Kizy refuted, finally making Markus look at her.
“You-” Markus was speaking when Kizy cut him off.
“Look ahead Mr. Devil reincarnation or else you would get both of us killed.” Kizy said while giggling, looking at Markus’s stoic face.
But the next moment Markus was all serious.
“Not letting you die until I am alive.” Markus said, turning his face to look towards the road.
And Kizy’s heart skipped a beat, knowing that this was not just a random statement but something that Markus meant from the bottom of his heart. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
She kept looking at him, not knowing how she ended up getting all the lady luck on her side by having Markus for a lifetime.
“Stop drooling, little lamb.” Markus said, trying to lighten the heavy atmosphere.
Kizy kept quiet for a moment before bending ahead.
“What are you-” Markus was speaking when he received a lightning speed peck on his cheek and before he could react, Kizy was back on her spot.
He instantly slammed the breaks, making Kizy stunned at his actions.
“This is cheating.” Markus said, loosening his tie.
“What do you mean?” Kizy asked, not quite understanding what Markus was talking about.
“Do you take me as some random four year old kindergarten kid?” Markus asked, his voice unusual.
“Huhh? No. I mean-” Kizy was still speaking when Markus removed his tie, before interrupting her.
“Do it again.” Markus said.
“Do what?” Kizy asked foolishly.
“Kiss!! How can you kiss me when I am not paying any attention. I want that kiss back.” Markus complained.
“You must be kidding right?” Kizy said, half laughing and half ‘not believing you’ expression.
“No.” Markus said, his tone dead serious.
Kizy waited for another minute, but looking that Marlus wasn’t showing any signs of starting the car, she finally said –
“Ok. But only one.” Kizy said and bent forward, about to kiss Markus’s cheek.
But Markus slyly turned his face at the last moment, capturing Kizy’s lips before she could back up.
He instantly held Kizy’s face with one hand, the other hand placed behind her nape as he deepened the kiss, his lips sucking hers, while Kizy closed her eyes, giving in without any resistance.
Her lips were the intoxicating drink, her body a drug and Markus could no more restrain himself from being an addict.
He bit her lower lip and sucked it harder, making her part her lips, giving him the access he wanted.
Every cell within him wanted to wrap himself around her, wanting to merge her into him, feel every single part on her body, not leaving any part unexplored while he marked her body with his kisses.
And Kizy knew that his touch was becoming her habit, his kisses her craving and his body her safe place.
She never wanted to leave his arms and get up, never wanted this moment to end, and never for a tomorrow to arise where he would leave her all by herself.
She knew Markus was feeling nothing less than what she felt for him, and this feeling made it even harder for her to let him go.
In no time, her hands were in his hair, her tongue in his mouth, exploring him the way he always did, tasting him, memorising him.
Markus let her take her time before finally breaking the kiss, looking straight into her eyes.
