Kiel POV.
After setting up and cooking the dishes for about their dinner. Kiel took a shower and prepared to pick Yana up from her dorm. He put on a formal blue polo shirt and a pair of jeans, then styled his hair with some gel.
He looked around and saw a table prepared with various dishes, a candle in the middle that was not yet lit, and rose petals and balloons scattered around. He even called an event organizer to help him set it up. The surroundings were beautiful, fitting for someone like Yana. He was excited to pick her up to see this.
He knocked on Yana's dorm door three times, holding a single rose for her. The door opened, and there stood his incredibly beautiful girlfriend. He left speechless and in awe, unable to utter a word, as I stared at her exquisite transformation
''Let's go," she said, unlocking his senses.
""I'm sorry, I'm speechless," he stammered, his eyes locked on her breathtaking beauty, and he extended the rose to her.
Her face lit up with a radiant smile at his words. "Thanks," she replied, her voice filled with happiness then she suggested that they leave.
While he drove, he couldn't let go of her hand, and it felt incredibly special.
"You know," she said with a chuckle, "it's more comfortable to drive with both hands on the steering wheel."
He smiled warmly and replied, "I can't bring myself to let go of your soft hand."
Their fingers remained intertwined as they ascended to the floor of his condo. This was the first time he had ever fallen so deeply in love with a woman. His heart overflowed with love for his girlfriend, and he was ready to give her everything to see her happiness. Gazing at her in the elevator, he couldn't help but admire her incredible beauty. Unable to resist, he stole a discreet kiss on her cheek.
With a sense of excitement, he covered her eyes with a blindfold before they entered his condo.
"Surprise time," he whispered, his voice filled with anticipation.
"Hmm, smells cheesy," she remarked with a grin.
He removed the blindfold as they entered inside. "Surprise," he said to her, and he watched as her eyes filled with wonder and sparkled with delight.
"Did you do this for me?" she asked, her voice brimming with emotion.
"Yes, I did this for my perfect girlfriend," he replied, his heart swelling with love. "I love you, Yana, and I always want to see you happy."
Yana embraced him tightly after he expressed his feelings. Their dinner was a symphony of conversation and laughter, her infectious laughter like music to his ears.
He decided to turn on some music, and they shared a sweet dance together. Time seemed to slip away as they danced, their eyes locked as if they never wanted to be apart. They could feel each other's breath, and an intense desire to kiss her grew within him, not just a simple peck like usual, but a passionate kiss to savor the taste of her lips.
""I want to savor your lips," he whispered as he gazed into her eyes, longing for her approval.
She didn't respond and suddenly let go of him, heading towards the sofa. He felt a pang of disappointment and embarrassment. Maybe she wasn't ready for that level of intimacy.
"I don't want to struggle with our first kiss. You're a bit taller, so I would need to look up. Maybe it would be more comfortable if we're both seated," she said with a reassuring smile, offering a glimmer of hope.
Kiel smiled at what she said and took a seat beside her.
They locked their eyes once again.
"Kiss me, Kiel."she said softly
Slowly, he brought his face closer to hers, maintaining eye contact as he gently pressed his lips against hers. He savored the taste of her lips, He felt the nervousness in her body.
She followed the movements of his lips, mimicking their every motion. Kiel slid his tongue into her mouth, and she let out a soft moan in response.
He felt her grip tighten around her waist, and he could sense the intense heat running through his body.
As a man, he couldn't help but let his mind wander to what might happen next. His lips moved passionately to her neck, causing her moans to grow louder. He waited for any sign of disapproval, but he heard none, so he continued to kiss her neck. Then, he slipped his hand inside her clothing, wanting to feel the warmth of her body.
"I love you, Yana," he whispered, his voice trembling with emotion,as he slowly unhooked the clasp of her bra from behind.
"I love you too, Kiel," she replied, her voice filled with affection,desire and a hint of vulnerability, her words melting his heart.
He asked her, "Is it okay?" while holding the clasp of her bra.
"Please, continue," she said with her eyes closed.
As he unhooked her bra, he slowly removed her clothing, still waiting for any signs of objection from her. But he heard nothing.He brought his lips closer to her breast then sucked it like a baby.
Kiel felt the touch of Yana's fingernail on his back, intensifying his desire to make her even happier.
He teased her nipple with his tongue, eliciting a pleasurable response from her. He played with her breasts for a while before slowly returning to kissing her.
"Please let me know if you want me to stop," he said to her before passionately kissing her lips, fueled by desire.
He didn't hear any response from her, so he slowly placed his hand between her thighs.He slowly started to remove her panties, but he felt her hand stopping him.
"I think it's still too early for that, Kiel," she said. Her words stirred a mixture of longing and understanding within him, making him realize the profound importance of respecting her boundaries.
"I'm sorry, Yana, I couldn't control myself," Kiel apologized, his heart heavy with remorse for his impulsive actions. He keenly sensed the tremor in her voice and her trembling, which tugged at his own feelings of guilt and concern.
"You're trembling, Yana," he said, his voice laced with genuine worry.
"Yes, but I'll be okay," she replied, her attempt to reassure him accompanied by a tender smile as she embraced him once more. "I'm cherishing our time together, Kiel, and I truly care about you, but I'm not yet ready for those things," she explained, her vulnerability adding depth to their connection.
Kiel assured her that he understood and was willing to wait patiently, his heart swelling with affection and commitment. While she put her dress on slowly, they hugged tighter, making them feel close and cozy.
"Yana, I want you to meet my family and be introduced as the woman I'll marry," Kiel said.
She responded with a surprised laugh, "Really? You're already introducing me to your parents right after I said yes?"
"It doesn't matter. I'm already certain that you're the one I want to marry," Kiel assured her.
She let go of their embrace and smiled, saying, "I'll be glad to meet them. When can we do that?"
"We have a dinner reservation at a restaurant next Wednesday, and I want you to come along to meet them," Kiel said with a smile.
"Sure, I agree," she said.
"Thank you, my love," Kiel said as he kissed her on the lips.
"Hmm, love. So that's what we'll call each other," she said with a smile.
"Yes, that's our special name for each other. It's cute, isn't it?" Kiel replied with a chuckle.
"Yes, it sounds cute"she responds
"By the way, when can you introduce me to your parents?" he asked.
"I can introduce you to my mom anytime you want. It's easy to come to our place whenever you're ready," Yana's replied.
He waited for her to share her family stories, but Kiel didn't hear anything from her. So, he carried on and shared about his life in London and his move to the US. He looked at Yana and realized she had fallen asleep. He gently rested her head on his shoulder, and she leaned on him for support.
He carried her to his bed, extinguished the candle, changed, and tidied up. Then, he returned to her side and embraced her. "My love, you must be tired," he whispered as he gazed at her peacefully sleeping form.
Yana POV
She woke up and felt Kiel's warm embrace around her. She remembered the wonderful night they had together and couldn't stop herself from smiling. "Loving you was the right choice, Kiel," she quietly thought to herself.
She looked at him with affection and planted a gentle kiss on his forehead. The clock showed it was already 5 in the morning. Part of her wanted to wake him up and say goodbye, but she decided against it to let him sleep peacefully. Instead, she left a note on his table with a simple message:
"My love, I didn't want to disturb your sleep. I'm heading home now. I love you.
She went home and took a shower.
Butch messaged her, saying they should meet on campus to get his final grade results together. He didn't receive them immediately because one of his projects was delayed.
After they finished retrieving Butch's subjects, they bumped into Tristan.
Yana and Butch found themselves face-to-face with Tristan, who greeted them with a mix of emotions.
"Hi, Yana, Hi cousin," Tristan said, his tone a blend of friendliness and something more serious.
"Hello, Tristan," they replied. He asked them when they were going home.
"We're going home next Friday. We still have some things to take care of," Butch responded.
Tristan wanted to have a private conversation with Yana, so Butch looked at her and excused himself, leaving them alone. They found themselves back in a coffee shop they had been to before.
"How are our final grades, Tristan?" she asked him right away. He shrugged his shoulders and didn't say much, and Yana sensed that something might be wrong. She didn't press him further, knowing that there might be something bothering him.
"That's why I'm here because I have something serious to say about you and Kiel," he said earnestly.
What is it?" she asked him.
"I'm sorry, Yana. I know you just answered Kiel, but I only did this to prevent you from getting hurt completely," he said.
She felt a bit anxious about Tristan's actions and what he said. Whatever he wanted to express, she wanted to know, for the sake of calming her mind.
"Tristan, don't beat around the bush, just say it first," she told him, her voice trembling slightly.
"Kiel isn't serious about you, you were just a bet, I'm sorry to say this now, but I really need to. Tristan said."
"What do you mean by 'just a bet'?"Yana replied, her heart sinking with a rush of anxiety as she struggled to comprehend what she was feeling.
"Do you remember when Marlon borrowed your laptop because he said he needed to send something?" he asked her.
Yana responded with a short, "Yes why?"
Marlon hacked into your files, and we saw the pictures of Kiel saved in your gallery," Tristan explained, a somber tone in his voice.
He then took out his phone and showed her a video.
Yana could clearly hear the laughter of Kiel and his friends as she watched them browse through her files.
("Why don't you court her, Kiel? If she accepts, it means she's really interested in you."
"So, how many months do you think it will take?" Meggie added playfully.
Okay, let's do it this way. Before the semester ends, he should answer you," Marlon challenged.
"That's too long, and it will take a while. It should only take 1 month for him to answer you. He has a crush on you, you know. Bet!" Megi said playfully.
"He'll answer for sure. It might not even take a week," Marlon said confidently.
"Okey'Deal!' Kiel replied to their challenge.)
Yana's heart trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes at Kiel's brief response. She could still hear their laughter, but she chose to compose herself and about to left the place.
"Yana, wait," Tristan called out, concern evident in his voice.
Yana paused, her back turned to Tristan, but she didn't respond immediately. She took a deep breath, wiped away a tear, and turned to face him, her expression a mix of confusion and hurt.
"What else do you want to say, Tristan?" She asked, her voice quivering slightly.
Tristan met Yana's gaze, his own eyes filled with regret. He took a deep breath before speaking, "I just want you to know, Yana, that I didn't want to hurt you.I just couldn't keep it to myself. You deserve to know the truth about Kiel."
"Thanks," Yana responded shortly before she turned and departed, leaving Tristan behind with his disclosure lingering in the air.
