Liam's face inched closer to Lea's, just a centimeter away. The fresh minty smell emanating from him tickled Lea's nose. "Shall we..."
Lea's throat went dry as she gulped. "No."
She placed a hand on his chest and pushed him away lightly to create some space, taking a deep breath when she heard Liam laugh next to her.
Looking at him like this her eyebrows furred angrily while Liam raised his hand and pinched her pink cheeks.
"You look so cute, darling…
What were you thinking in that naughty mind of yours? I was just asking shell we go and have a palace tour as you have not had the chance to see this place since you came here".
Embarrassed, Lea picked up a pillow from the sofa and started hitting Liam with it, making him laugh even harder.
"Okay… okay fine… I am sorry" he said, still laughing.
Listening to him apologizing she stopped hitting him with the pillow and turned away, pouting angrily.
Seeing this, Liam hugged her from behind, placed his chin on her shoulder, and said, "Sorry, baby. Please forgive me. I won't tease you like that again."
When she remained silent, he kissed her cheek and spoke near her ear in a hoarse voice, "I am really sorry, dear."
As his lips touched her skin, she shivered lightly and straightened her back.
"Baby..." At this moment Lea let out a deep breath and interrupted him,
"What's with this 'darling' and 'baby,' huh?"
"Though it's for a short time, you are still my girlfriend, so what's wrong with me calling you that?"
"It's cheesy."
"I don't care."
Lea loosened his arms and turned to face him. "So, am I forgiven?"
"Yes, but you should not tease me like that in the future."
"Hahaha... Yes, I won't tease you," Liam said with a smile. "So, do you want a tour of the place?"
"Yes."
"Okay then, let's go. There is still time before breakfast is served. We'll be done by then," Liam said as he got up from the sofa and extended his right hand. Lea took it happily, and they went out together.
