Early the next morning, Zoey was wide awake on her bed, her face was all pink as a certain memory kept replaying in her head.
-Flashback {Zoey's POV}-
I was standing near the barrier, waiting for Xavier, there is usually no one seen around this area since the black market is not at all near the barrier. There was neither any human seen coming in nor any vampire seen around that area since they do not really have a business in the area.
I could already sight Xavier coming from a distance, looking so hot in his leather outfit, his hair wasn't his normal textured style but was in a messy fringe which made him look even hotter. I quickly stood upright and watched as he drew nearer, when he was finally like two steps away from me, I was about to say something when he gently held my chin and pressed his lips against mine.
I was surprised. My eyes were wide opened as it was unexpected.
I was unable to do anything, it was like my whole body went limp. The butterflies in my belly were going wild. And my heart? it would beat the fastest man alive if they were in a race.
He slowly separated his lips from mine and opened his eyes, looking straight into mine, there was a dim glow in his eyes that quickly disappeared as soon as I saw it.
When I was back to my senses and my brain comprehended what had happened, the hormones did their jobs and sent blood to my face. I quickly turned around trying to hide my tomato face.
"What was that for?" I asked with a shy smile, it was evident in my tone that I was smiling, there was a short pause before he answered "Trust me, I am asking myself the same question" he said with a sigh "but I did see you lick your lips when I was walking towards you" he added, and I blushed again, remembering the warning he gave the other day.
I was about to speak when I suddenly felt hands on my waist, they turned me around to face him but I couldn't make eye contact, I was praying internally for my asthma not to kick in because during that moment, I forgot how to breathe...
He held my chin up and looked at me with his usual wistful look which I had just noticed the previous day. I looked into his eyes and nervously bit my lip " It's like you're begging for it now" He smirked and drew me closer, one of his hand above my waist while the other on my chin, there was no distance between us now and my breathing automatically went on hold.
He took a stray stand of hair that was hanging away from the rest and tucked it behind my ear then he let me go with a smile "what? that's it?" I asked, confused "what were you expecting?" he asked with a small laugh "You jerk!".
-Present-
She heard the kitchen door unlock and "Zoey! Are you still in bed?" her granny called "you only call me when you're done with your 'cooking' huh?" Zoey mumbled as she got out of bed.

" he kissed her?" a man with a scar running from above his left eyebrow to right under his left eye asked with a contemplative expression "yes boss" one of the two men standing in front of him affirmed "maybe it's just part of his plans... But then you said he could have easily brought her here but he let her go. You also said he had this look like he was already smitten huh?" "yes boss, he kept smiling at every little thing and he kept looking at her with this weird look, he was even surpressing his blood lust and the Agent Xavier that I know would have caught a whiff of us even though we kept a safe distance, but he was off guard, completely distracted by that girl" the other one said "okay, I've heard you. Go there again tomorrow before Xavier gets to her and immediately you find her alone, bring her here and leave no traces." The scarred vampire said with a firm tone and dismissed the two.
"Xavier, so this what it has come to huh?" "breaking the rules?" he said to himself with a chortle, he then grabbed a paper clipboard on his table, skimming through it, the name 'ZOEY' written boldly as the heading.
