Chapter 40 - Ruffian in disguise

A damn freaky handsome man asked me if he could kiss me and all I could muster to say was " Uhh..Umm". His lips were nearing my lips when I said the stupidest thing ever " I forgot to wash my hands ". After dodging his hands who were trying to either stop me or bash me for my stupid remark. I didn't care, I re-entered the loo and stood in front of sink. I pretended to wash my hand, which I had already washed while trying to breathe through my nose and exhaling through my mouth slowly.

I was dizzy and sweaty because on one side I was excited while on the other side fear gripped me by my throat. Irwin's face leaning towards me while his face giving malicious smile was making me cringe. When a warm palm landed on my shoulder. I looked up from my daze. My eyes glassy from my memories but his warm fragrance made me relaxed. My taut shoulders relaxed on their own. He said

" sorry, I shouldn't have asked you that when there had not been more than 2 months from that incidence. I am sorry, I will wait ok. You don't have to feel pressured. I just want to give you as much time as you want, just don't ever replace me ok".

He looked so nervous while rambling all that. I for once just wanted to piss off my past because I was ruining my present. It was all because of them I was so scared when I had 6'3" handsome hunk standing there willing to explain his feeling which was a miracle if you ask his team mates about that. I can't let this man suffer because of their mistakes. Panda talked me a lot these days and what inference I got was "it's not my fault". So, if it was not my fault why should I suffer. After taking a deep breath preparing myself when slowly I touched my lips to his.

First thing I felt was warm and minty taste which was probably because he chewed the gum after smoking. He was frozen for a second but he was a soldier, man of action. He cradled my head gently. I tilted my face on my own accord. Our lips mingled while his tongue gently explored my mouth claiming me, all the while letting me slowly adjust to his taste. He was like a combination of hot chocolate and cold ice cream. His breath was hot but his mouth was cold. I was already in a daze when I released a moan startling both of us.

We seperated breathing deeply when I noticed my right hand was hooked inside his pant. While the other one was inside his shirt and he like a gentleman placed his just on my back. With a flushed cheek I abruptly removed my hand. Zack grinned like a Cheshire cat " I didn't know you were such a ruffian in disguise".
