Chapter Marriage of convenience

Sian moved back after softly kissing Gwen. Gwen opened her eyes and placed one hand on her cheek.

"You are red." Sian informed her.

"Women are more emotional than man."

Gwen moved her hand away and glared at him.

"It's not true."

"Whatever. Just forget about the kiss." Sian calmly told her. He didn't look any effected from the kiss.

Gwen knitted her brows and then got up.

"I will go to sleep. I have to wake up early." She moved towards her room and soon disappeared.

"Yeah, go and take good sleep. Don't get yourself disturb by remembering the kiss." Sian gave her the advice while Gwen glared at him.

As she left, Sian let out the breath that was struck in his chest.

"I am alright. I am not in love with her. I am not emotional."

He got up and went inside his room. He turned off his lights and laid on his bed to get some sleep.

Few minutes later, he sat up and put a hand over his chest. His heart was beating fast and he couldn't get the kiss out of his brain.

"What's happening to me? It wasn't a big deal, was it? Sian, just not think about it." He slapped his cheeks and shook his face but his heart was beating fast.

Sian tried to sleep but his heart wasn't calming down

In the other room, Gwen was sleeping like a kid on her bed. She looked peaceful.

....................

Gwen opened her eyes and tried to turn off the alarm which was screaming non stop. She laid for few minutes and then sat up. She yawned and stretched her body.

Soon she got up and took a shower. She picked her stuff and came out in the living room so she could work on her drawing.

She put her stuff in the table and walked towards kitchen. As she entered inside she was startled to see Sian standing while filling his cup with a coffee.

"Ahhh, you scared me." She screamed and patted her chest.

"You also didn't sleep well." Sian asked her as he drank the whole cup in a gulp. He wasn't able to sleep all night and now his head was hurting like hell.

"No, I slept well. I had to work on my assignment."

Gwen took a cup and filled it with coffee. She put some cookies in a plate and took them to the table.

Sian was standing dumbfounded. He wasn't to sleep all night. He wasn't able to close his eyes for a second.

He followed her and sat beside her on the couch who was paying full focus on her breakfast.

Sian wanted to talk her about the kiss but he wasn't sure how to start the conversation. He cleared his throat but Gwen didn't pay attention to him. He cleared his throat again.

"Is your throat itchy?" Gwen suddenly asked him who blankly stared at her.

"No, no, it's not. I want to talk about last....night..."

"What last night?"

"You know..."

Sian took a deep breath.

"The kiss..."

Gwen stared at him like she didn't know what he was talking about. Sian who thought that she would blush or give him a shy smile wasn't ready for this response.

"We kissed last night."

Gwen looked around and moved closer to him.

She whispered.

"You said, forget about it."

She then got up to put her cup and plate in the kitchen.

"How can she forget about it? HOW CAN SHE? IS SHE DUMB?"

Sian internally screamed.
