Calm and quiet, Tania was lost gazing at mid air. Her mind was consumed by what transpired earlier. She had always had one question in mind since she met him. But no matter how hard she tried to give reason to it, it just doesn't make sense.
Right this moment, the last thing that she wanted was distraction and something that will land her in an ultimate trouble, and by the way this is going, she can perceive that her doom is near. Already him alone means trouble to her and she can't let herself be consumed by this.
She sighed out exasperatedly. She has been thinking for too long now and she needs a rest.
She looked at her already dressed wound which she fixed absentmindedly earlier. She carefully layed her back down backwards on the bed and shuts her eyes. Not only her eyes, her brain, thoughts, feelings and worries from the world.
Luckily this was enough to present her the peace she needed in her mind. She released a sharp breath before falling asleep completely.

Zeke paced up and down in his room, His tall build going back and forth. He looked like confused maniac right now. His blonde hair was messed up due to constant waving of it with his hands.
"I hope she doesn't take it seriously, Gosh!!" He palmed his face when he said this.
"What the hell was I thinking when....when I almost kissed her, jeez!!! it sounds so embarrassing saying it." He muttered the last line under his breath as he shook his head in bewilderment.
"What's wrong with me?" He sat on his bed busy questioning himself. He remembered that Vionna and Mia came in and that was why she pushed him away suddenly.
"Who knows what would have happened if she hadn't.....pushed..., Oh geez!! I don't want to think about it."
"What if her friends might have already seen it, nope not possible."
He was busy having his own private Q&A section, which was planning on driving him nuts.
"I think an apology will fix it." He sincerely muttered to himself, blaming himself for what he claims he did wrong.
Earlier that afternoon,
Zeke made his way to Liam's bedroom but on reaching there, he noticed that Liam was not around. "Where has that dude gone to?" He asked himself.
"Ah! I'm so famished." With this statement, he decided to go to the kitchen and find out what's cooking.
When he reached, the first view was the back of Tania carefully doing the dishes and she was alone in there.
He immediately thought to himself, whether he should make his presence known to her or he should just get on with what he wanted doing and leave.
Already the was nothing edible available, just when he made a move to go back, her shrilling scream halted him half way.
He hastened towards her. Her finger was bleeding, he looked at her other hand and noticed that she was washing a knife which had unexpectedly grazed her fingers leaving a deep cut behind.
Without thinking much, he took her bleeding fingers into his mouth and started to suck on it. trying to reduce the bleeding. He was so serious doing it that it made Tania stuck her eyes to him, shocked!!.
When he raised his eyes to her, he was dumbstruck. The way she looked at him got him feeling butterflies in the pit of his stomach.
Those big eyes of hers looking like glacier with stars in them, coupled with the way her pupil dilated when he jammed gaze with her.
Right now it felt like he was being seduced without her making any effort. Seduced by her innocence. All his thoughts was about what to do to quench this fire that she has ignited in him.
They kept staring at each other, Lost. With her hand in mid air.
When she finally broke from the daze, She retracted her fingers from his palm, snapping him off too.
She darted her gaze everywhere but Him, looking for a distraction to distract her mind and frantically beating heart.
"Mmmhm....I...I..Is it alright now?" Zeke stammered his question. The quietness was too terrifying and of course something that could lessen it, just anything.
"Y...yes it is than... thank you." Tania mumbled shyly hiding her injured behind her back.
She raised her head up to his level. A stain of her blood was on his lower lip and didn't look good that way.
She was shy at first, but she raised her heel and took her hand towards his lips, she gently and slowly wiped it out with her thumb.
Zeke who was wondering what she was doing, grabbed her hands halfway after she already touched his lips. Making her eyes widen.
He didn't even give a look to the hand he grabbed. His eyes was solely planted to hers. It was like a staring competition.
Before she could blink, he was approaching her slowly and the thing that almost made her to stop breathing, was the way he looked at her lips which were slightly parted. She swear she could feel the tingling feeling just by his stare.
His palm dropped behind her on the counter which made her shiver but maintained her position, she couldn't move a muscle or speak a word.
She was unsure but she didn't stop him. instead she prepared herself to accept whatever is going to happen.
Just when their lips almost made contact, They heard approaching footsteps. She didn't wait to think it over and immediately pushed him away.
Before Vionna, Mia and jasmine came. Again!!!. "Good afternoon young Master." They greeted.
"Good afternoon young Master." Before Vionna followed suit.
"Afternoon." He replied them before walking away awkwardly.

Zeke made a rough rub on his already scattered hair again when the memories came flooding back.
