CHAPTER 145
AUTHOR'S POV
With a silent grace, Alexander moved closer, his gaze fixed on her, "I should just do this, I can't pretend anymore," he said to himself through his mind.
He had been holding back his feelings and tonight, she just took his breath away with the way she looked, the fun they had together and everything. She was the one.
He just knew it.
Alexander reached for her and pulled her softly. With a gentle tug, he pulled her closer, his touching making her shiver a bit through her spine.
Zendaya turned, startled at the sudden contact, only to find herself face to face with Alexander. As she recognized him, her eyes widened, her breath fanning against his, her heart beating.
As their lips brushed against each other's in a tantalizing tease, it sent a surge of electricity coursing through Zendaya's body, even Alexander, who seemed to be trying to stay in control.
Zendaya sucked in a sharp breath. Soon with trembling hands, they drew closer, their lips meeting in a peck that ignited the fire within them and the kissed. It was soft and slow, soft sighs escaping their lips as their breaths mingled and they both surrendered to their feelings, hearts beating as one.
As their kiss deepened, Zendaya's hand found its way to his neck, where her arms wrapped around his neck and her fingers roamed in the soft strands of his hair.
Alexander's arms enveloped her in a protective embrace, drawing her closer as if wanting her to be a part of him.
Zendaya had butterflies in her stomach, but it seemed like they were more of dragons, cause damn, he took her brain to so many places.
It was actually her first kiss, she may have done some practice with her pillow. But the way he was so soft about her lips, biting it softly.
Soon, they broke apart, their breath mingling in the cool night air. Zendaya tried to catch her breath as she looked away, her cheeks flushed with a rosy hue and a shy smile playing at her lips as she tried to compose herself after what had just happened.
On the other hand, Alexander was also trying to get himself together as he found how she acted cute and more inviting, she was blushing for him, just him alone, he also had a smile on his face, relaxing her lips which were red and swollen a bit.
"I should umm", Zendaya started but paused to catch some breath, "I should g-go."
She said that Immediately and just wanted to escape there because she was so shy and surprised and everything, she turned to leave, but Alexander pulled her back once more.
His lips seeking hers, this time there was no hesitation, only desires. Zendaya gave him access, parting her lips for him, this time around the kiss was deepened, and they almost lost control, hanging on to each other as if they were hanging on to dear life.
As they finally parted, their heart was still racing with the intensity of their connection, Zendaya's hand on Alexander's chest, "Mm", she licked her lips and a bit on it softly, "Alex, it's late, I really have too."
"Yes, yes of course, I don't want you to go, but you probably should," he said, getting almost lost in her again as he cupped her cheeks and laid her forehead on his, "Call me when you get home."
Zendaya nodded softly, "I will."
"Okay, go," Alexander said to her as she gave him a soft peck on his right cheek, that lingered for some seconds, before leaving.
Zendaya's heart pounded fiercely against her chest as she felt a rush of emotions swirl within her. A soft gasp escaped her lips as she left, her fingers instinctively reaching up to touch her tingling lips.
Her cheeks flushed more as she headed back home, she even tried not to turn and look back, but she could not help but turn and found him still standing there looking at her.
He gave her a wave and she returned it back, before facing forward, "What does this mean? Does it mean he feels the same way?", Zendaya questioned herself, "Does he really feel the same way? Oh, Goddess!"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Zendaya finally reached her kingdom, walked into the castle like she did not just sneak out without letting anyone know and headed to her room, straight.
Her parents were not back yet, and it seemed like they would be coming back tomorrow. Yay!
As she got into her room, she slammed the door and rested her back on it, sighing from relief.
Before you knew it, the light switched on, making Zane, who was seated on a chair facing her visible.
Zendaya's hand was on her chest from being scared that bad as she looked at her twin brother, his face did not look too good either, "Care to explain where you are coming from?"
"What are you doing in my room? How did you even get in?", Zendaya asked Zane, wanting to change the subject, despite the fact she knew she had been caught.
"I asked you a question, where have you been?"Zane asked her again, ignoring whatever she had asked him.
There was no point fighting it, she knew how Zane could be, "I went out," she said, she knew Zane can be a bit overprotective sometimes, just like their father.
"With whom? That you did not even think to tell anyone. What if something has happened, how would we know? I just came in here and found out you were not around, called your phone, but you don't even care to pick up", Zane started scolding her, "I even thought something happened or someone took you, but here you are, sneaking in."
"I am so sorry, I didn't mean to, I promise this will not happen again", Zendaya pleaded with her twin, praying in her mind that he just let it go this time.
Zane kept quiet for a while, assessing his sister, "Who were you with? And don't lie to me Zendaya, I will know."
Zendaya let out a breath, "I went out with some girls."
"I see", Zane nodded as he got up from the chair and walked to the door, giving Zendaya a side eye, "We will see what Mum and Dad will have to say about you lying."
Zendaya gasped inwardly and turned to her brother, "You wouldn't."
