Kiss Me Not

Kimmy and Cain were walking in the hallway when Cain grabbed Kimmy's hand to hold it. Kimmy smiled when she felt the warmth of Cain's hand. Both of them were aware of the sneaking glances from people they passed by.

Kimmy did not mind since she and Cain were official already, but then she knew that some people would gossip about them since they were once engaged and supposed to be married already.

They stopped walking when they reached Cain's car.

"Thank you so much, Kimmy," Cain whispered, holding her other hand. Kimmy gave him a sheepish smile as she said, "stop that."

She felt shy with how Cain was looking at her. Her heartbeat was drumming hard. Was it because of how he stared at her?

Kimmy bit her lower lip when Cain suddenly pulled her for a tight hug. She hugged Cain back while she fell into deep thought, analyzing her feelings.

"I will bring you to father, maybe tomorrow for dinner if that's okay with you? Don't think about it like we are jumping quite fast. I assure you that we will not move fast and keep the space you want until you're ready. It's just that you know how the elders are. They would love to talk about the future and everything." Cain said.

Kimmy understood what Cain meant. She expected it already… The engagement and marriage talks. She was honestly surprised that none of her family members mentioned it during breakfast, especially her mother.

"Yes, everything is alright with me, Cain. Thank you also for being patient and understanding," Kimmy whispered.

Cain lightly stroked her back and whispered, "by the way, the big panda is still inside my car. Where should I put it? We forgot it last night."

Kimmy chuckled. They were still hugging each other and no one dared break free.

"Hmm, I don't want it here since I don't plan on sleeping at the palace at all. Maybe in my apartment," Kimmy whispered.

"How about the penthouse? You can also stay there for now. I will feel more at ease that you stay there or even at our mansion like before. I mean, I prefer you near me to be honest," Cain suggested. 

"For now, you can put it in your penthouse then. I will stay there for a few days and see if I will enjoy it, then I will probably buy a penthouse of my own later," Kimmy said with a giggle.

"Ah, stay there forever. Or I will just follow you wherever you go. Maybe I will secure the apartment next to you too," Cain murmured, making Kimmy's face reddened.

"You're such a stalker," Kimmy teased.

"Only for you!" Cain shamelessly answered. She was the one who broke free of the hug since she had a lot of things to do today.

"Okay, off you go now," she said with a smile, but Cain did not budge.

"Anything else?" Kimmy asked.

Cain gave her a mischievous grin followed by a nod.

"What?"

"This…" Cain whispered before he pulled Kimmy closer to him and sealed her lips with a kiss. Kimmy subconsciously snaked her arms on Cain's neck, enjoying Cain's lips as she could. She wondered when she would get enough of it.

It was Cain who released her lips as he whispered, "I might end up pulling you inside the car so you can go with me if we don't stop this instant. I just need to take care of a few things after checking on my father. Then I will call you and let's spend more time together. I will bring you wherever you want."

Kimmy nodded and pushed Cain to go inside his car.

"I will just have my big panda in your penthouse, okay?" Kimmy reminded, and Cain nodded before totally getting inside the car.

Kimmy loudly inhaled and exhaled as she watched Cain's car leave. She turned around and grabbed her mobile phone from her pocket.

She dialed her father's number.

"Can we have lunch together?" Kimmy asked. It would be the first time she would ask her father, who immediately agreed. It would be the first time she would talk to her father after she returned home. She smiled, recalling how Cain encouraged her to let things out. Tell her mother and father what she felt and all the things she wanted to tell them.

"It's not bad to have a boyfriend who is a psychologist," Kimmy whispered with a smile as she walked back inside the mansion. She looked at her mobile phone again and typed a text message for Harry since she was still a bit worried. If Harry replied, then he was really fine. She should get someone's help to tour Harry around since Cain would surely not let her do it.

Instead of sending a message, Kimmy decided just to call Harry's number.

*Ring *Ring *Ring

Harry woke up with the continuous ringing of his phone. His head was aching too much that he felt like it was going to burst. When was the last time he had a severe hangover like this one? It had been so long already, and he could not remember anymore. 

Yesterday, he was so down after discovering that Kimm and Cain became lovers after seeing Kimmy again for the first time. Ah, he was too damn late, and he felt like sh*t. Because of the pain, he entered a bar to get drunk and forgot about it even for the night. 

The phone kept ringing, but he was feeling so dizzy even to bother to open his eyes. He drank too much last night that he could not remember at all how he even ended up going back.

"Ah, damn that phone! I will kill whoever that is?!"

His eyes suddenly opened. 

'A woman?! In his room?!' Harry inwardly panicked. 

He immediately rose on the bed and saw a naked woman's back sleeping beside him. She moved, and the quilt slipped out from the bed. Harry gulped, seeing her bare buttock. She was naked all over, and he looked at himself. He wore nothing too.

He looked around and saw his and probably her clothes in every corner of the floor. 

"It can't be!" he whispered in disbelief. He looked back at the woman beside him. He could even see marks all over her body. Hickeys?! Did he make those?

He could not see her face since she buried it on the pillow. How did he end up with a woman? Did he meet her at the bar last night and bring her to his hotel room? He couldn't believe that he could be this reckless. 

'Is that blood?' he mused as his eyes darted on the white sheet that had a red stain on it. He frowned as he tried to recall what happened last night. 

While he was in deep thought, trying to recall what happened last night, the woman suddenly lifted her body from the bed.

Harry gulped when he finally had a good view of her face. Her eyes were still closed as she yawned loudly. 

"Ah, my body aches all over!!!" she grunted as she slowly opened her eyes. She turned at him with her lazy eyes that quickly widened, followed by her scream, "Ahhhhhh!!!"
