Chapter 222 - What If
Chapter 222 - What If
Kimmy hid her excitement about going to watch a movie with Cain. But she couldn't stop her thoughts from wandering to the possible scenarios that could happen once they enter the movie theater. It was her first time going to such a place with only a man and she was feeling a rollercoaster of emotions inside her.
She was imagining Cain hold her hand or put his arm around her shoulders and pull her close to himself and then… kiss her. It was a cliche scene that was always shown in dramas and movies. Anything could happen in the darkness of the movie theater! She and Cain were going to that dark place which? meant that anything could happen between them!
'OMG!' she gasped and furiously shook her head to clear her perverted thoughts. Then it hit her that she was the one who always initiated the first move during the intimate moments between them.
.
Since Cain was a man, his initial response was to kiss her back but…
Kimmy gave Cain a quick glance. He seemed to be…
'No Kimmy! Don't give too much meaning to what he is doing for you! You might interpret things differently while it means nothing to him! Guard yourself for your own safety!' She warned herself.
Men were all the same and Cain probably thought that she was someone easy to get as she was almost throwing herself to him lately.
She may look available but she would never be available. She almost choked on her own thoughts because deep down she was aware of how vulnerable she was when it came to Cain. It was something she never saw coming.
They soon arrived at the mall and she held her breath when Cain leaned towards her to remove her seatbelt.
"What's going on with you?" Kimmy finally found her voice to ask.
"Huh?" Cain simply frowned, feeling confused.
"Why are you doing my work? I mean I'm supposed to remove your seatbelt, not you removing mine. Also, don't tell me you're planning to open the door for me?" Kimmy asked with arched brows.
Cain chuckled and said, "Are you a psychic? How did you know that I was about to go out and open the door for you? Wait here."
Before Kimmy could complain, Cain quickly got down and opened her door. Kimmy stepped out and gave him a suspicious look.
"Well, I'm trying to figure out if your work is hard or not. Experiencing it so I'll be able to find out if it's annoying or not," Cain explained.
"Wow… You're so weird. So tell me, how has it been so far?" Kimmy asked curiously.
"Hmm, I'm happy and loving it. You tell me, Kimberly, do you feel the same when you are serving me?" Cain asked back with a grin.
'He is enjoying this!' Kimmy complained at the back of her head.
"Hmp! It's the opposite because it's annoying for me! Feeding you like a baby? Urgh!"
She walked ahead of him and Cain followed her while laughing loudly.
"Don't worry, later during dinner I will feed you too so let's see if I feel annoyed like you do…" Cain commented and she was startled when he grabbed her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers and locked it with his grip.
"Let's go together…"
"Wait… my hand," Kimmy breathed as her eyes were pinned on their hands.
'Is this even normal? For him to just hold my hand like this?'
Cain ignored Kimmy as he was busy thinking of an excuse for holding her hand. He did not know what came over him that compelled him to hold her hand but it was as if telling people around them that Kimmy was his woman.
There was no turning back now. He would be clingy and touchy unless Kimmy wanted him to stop. He wanted Kimmy to get used to his presence and his touches… to him.
He stopped and raised his hand that was holding hers and whispered, "I want to hold your hand like this. Can I?"
Kimmy's face twitched as she replied, "You're already holding it so what's the point of asking permission now?"
"Sorry. I just got carried away. Are you saying no?" Cain asked cautiously.
Kimmy did not know whether to laugh or cry, watching his pitiful expression. She felt his hand loosen and he was about to let go when she squeezed his hand and said, "Never mind. Since we're already holding hands, I'll let it be."
She wanted to hit her head against the wall because of her weakness. It felt so good holding hands with him that she did not want to let go of his warm hand.
Cain gave her a breathtaking sweet smile as he gently pulled her to walk with him towards the movie theater.
Cain looked at her and asked, "What snacks do you want?"
"Just the usual cheese popcorn and some soda…" Kimmy answered.
Cain released her hand and said, "I'll just buy the tickets and snacks. You sit here and just wait for me… I will be back before you know it."
Kimmy simply nodded and watched Cain's back before unconsciously looking at her hand which Cain just held a while ago. Her face reddened when she searched for Cain and saw him looking at her as well while he was waiting for his order not far from her.
He smiled at her and it took a while for Kimmy to smile back.
'What the hell is going on between us?' Kimmy wondered.
She felt like Cain was making a move on her and she was obviously entertaining it. Yes, she was a bit inexperienced when it came to relationships but she was not that naive as well.
There was something happening between them and none of them had the courage to talk about it. She knew that for her, it was not just a simple physical attraction towards him. She was falling for Cain but the question was, does Cain feel or think oh her the same way?
What if for Cain, it was nothing but pure lust?
"Maybe, I should just go with the flow and see where it leads me?" Kimmy whispered with a sigh. If there was something that Kimmy hated the most about herself, it was her indecisiveness.
