As the evening drew to a close, Bella yawned, her eyes shining with sleepiness. "I'm off to sleep," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Jr's heart skipped a beat as Bella pecked him on the cheek, leaving him mesmerized. He touched his cheek, a slow smile spreading across his face. "This girl is naughty and quick to learn," he thought to himself.
Before Bella could pull away, their lips brushed against each other, sending a spark of electricity through Jr's body. Without thinking, he kissed her, his lips gentle against hers.
Bella's eyes widened in surprise, and then she smiled, her face flushing with happiness. She quickly ran to her bedroom, leaving Jr feeling breathless and delighted.
Jr chuckled to himself, feeling a sense of joy he hadn't experienced in a long time. He headed to his study room, his mind still reeling from the tender moment they had shared.
Hours passed, and Jr became completely absorbed in his work, losing track of time. It wasn't until past midnight that he finally finished, his eyes feeling heavy with fatigue.
As he headed to his bedroom, Jr couldn't shake off the feeling of happiness that lingered within him. He knew that the journey ahead would be challenging, but with Bella by his side, he felt a sense of hope and determination.
The night air was quiet, the only sound being the soft hum of the air conditioner. Jr's thoughts drifted back to Bella, and he couldn't help but smile, feeling grateful for the connection they shared.
As he drifted off to sleep, Jr's phone lay silent on his bedside table, waiting for the next call that would change everything.
