To see him looking at her like that, her muscles tensed and she pulled her hand away from his. He immediately retracted his hand and clenched his fist and shoved his hand inside the pocket of his pant, but he couldn't replace her warmth, her pulse, her delicateness. His heart longed for it.
Her eyes were still hovering on his face.
He cleared up his throat and asked,
"Where are you going?".
"I was planning to go back home. Now that you are here, Kate won't be left alone. Tell Katherine that I really enjoyed this party a lot", Akira said and turned back after throwing a quick glance at him.
"But didn't you just say that she will be back in a few minutes? Tell her yourself that you are thankful. She would feel better. Plus I am not a pigeon to transfer your messages", Raymond said.
Hearing him she turned back again.
Seeing that he had her attention back, he said,
"And please don't leave else she will think that probably I scared you away".
Then he gave out a sly smile.
