Just as his breath tickled her sensitive ears, she became a statue, her senses heightened up. She could feel Kaden's hot and seductive scent luring her to him. She wondered if he cast a black magic spell on her.

Aza didn't think in her wildest dreams that she would stumble upon a guy who could elicit these weird sensations inside her.

Firstly, the guy she had accidentally met in the parking lot almost one month back, continued to come and haunt her dreams. Not letting her forget his piercing gaze and how she felt the little hairs on her skin arising in anticipation.

Aza wished to grab her head and force herself to ignore both of them but lately, her past encounter with the unknown guy at the parking area had been overlapping with Kaden, her new classmate and desk partner.

'Oh damn….Why did I meet these two guys!!! They are making me crazy. I will be labelled a crazy psycho soon.' She yelled at herself since she couldn't do it in reality so she just settled for doing it in her visions.

Kaden's lips slightly touched her earlobes. She felt electricity rushing to her veins and neck. She already predicted that her pale skin would be as bright red as a fresh cherry.

How she wished to punch Kaden and tell him not to come close with her as he was making her feel weird…. But a good weird.

This is what Aza didn't want to endure since her brain had always been the one to win between her heart and brain. From Aza's thinking perspectives, those who followed their heart blindly had never ended up good.

She considered the heart a mere internal organ that was keeping her alive. Although she had seen her parents and grandparents being madly in love with their respective partners. She never desired it.

Love is a luxury that Azaina could never afford to have. Aza thought this however, from the past month her heart had been behaving strangely. She could not put her fingers to it and find when exactly it started.

'Her blush is making it harder for me to control. The red flush spread evenly on her neck is captivating and urges me to put my mark on it.'

Certainly, Aza was not the only one who suffered from these new changes but Kaden too. And for Kaden, it was a lot more difficult. He had been famous for his rigidness and now when he found the girl that aroused him. It became insanely impossible to hold back his inner beast who was awakened from his deep long slumber.

What will anyone feel like when the one thing they had been missing in their life suddenly appears before them? It would generate immense happiness. Yet everything comes with a price and what Kaden wants is something destined for him but not written in his fate.

Confusing? Only time will tell what sacrifices they have to make in exchange for the freedom of their love.

The matter currently was different, Kaden's unexpected closeness to Aza had given her a mini shock and short-circuited her nervous system.

'Why can't I tell this overbearing person to move away? Why are my lips sealed?'

Perplexed, Aza couldn't think with a straight mind. Kaden sees through her effort of trying to be nonchalant and disregard him but her body betrayed her.

'My little bunny...You are making things more difficult here', he hoped to say this to Aza. Nonetheless, he paused as he could feel an obstruction around her that made him wonder.

During all this, Aza's girl group and the boys lingered in their talks and didn't notice anything.

Sylius felt Grace's anger radiating from her. Instead of feeling offended, he found it amusing as he was blessed to see an adorable pout on her lips.

He realised that he could not be angry with Grace ever. Her presence gives him inexplicable satisfaction.

He saw her thin and beautiful fingers tightly clenching her phone. He didn't want any harm to happen to them. Hence he put his hand over hers and gently pried off her fingers.

Grace froze.

She couldn't believe what just happened to her.

After taking her phone out of her grasp, he blew air on her reddened hands.

"Mi Amour, please don't hurt yourself." He mumbled in a pleading tone.

He kept caressing her hands and blowing her air on them, "It pains me to see you hurt."

Grace aka Serene was rendered speechless by his words and the way he took care of her hands as if they were a precious treasure.

Others saw them yet they didn't disturb them and chatted in low voices. Grace felt heat rushing up to her cheeks and she instantly pulled her hands when she observed him getting near and kissing it.

__________

Sarah would have squealed and destroyed the intimate moment between Serene and Sylius if it was not for Ryan shutting her mouth with his hands.

Sarah's eye caught the sight of Ryan's stare and unbeknownst they began to gaze at each other.

Ryan had his hand over her mouth and he could feel the texture of her lips. Struck by realisation, he took back his hand as if it was burnt.

"I am sorry.." He tries to justify his actions but Livia stops him.

"It was my fault. I would have committed a mistake if you had not intervened within the time."

She dismissed the idea of looking at him in the fear of making a fool out of herself in front of her.

Diana raises her eyebrows in joy, "You both should not feel this awkward. You know…"

Her words made them realise what situation they had created for themselves. They dug their graves. Now they know they won't hear the end of it from their friends.

"Iris, stop it!!"

Livia said in a high pitched voice that it broke apart two other pairs of boy and girl.

Diana grinned at Livia, "Huh? What did I do?"

She showed an innocent look to Livia, who could see through her act and she was aware that Diana was messing with her.

Coincidently, Lucas found himself getting more drawn to Diana.

While Ines looked at the different scenes like she was in a movie theatre and watching a movie. She was indifferent to everything. Yet Aiden could discern little changes.

He took note of her tapping on the table whenever he gawked at her. A minute difference but it gave big hopes to Aiden that Ines was not immune to him and she felt his burning desire erupting inside him.

Aiden had zero control over his emotions after meeting Ines.
