180 It’s Not Too Late, Right?
Zeline’s mind began to fall apart. She was curious to read the message from Angela but Dariel locked his cell phone. Even though Zeline had just thought about discussing her relationship to make it clearer where it was going, Dariel seemed to still be in touch with the witch woman.
Finally with half-dead restraint, Zeline tried to be patient. Waiting for Dariel to wake up from sleep, and she will ask the man directly.
At seven o’clock in the evening to coincide with dinner, Zeline woke Dariel up. The handsome man looked better than before.
“I slept too long, huh?” Dariel asked, as he accepted the water Zeline gave him. The blonde girl did not answer, her face looked nervous as if she was holding something back. Making Dariel frown, wondered. “What’s wrong?”
“There’s a message on your cell phone,” Zeline replied, her eyes flicking to Dariel’s cell phone.
Without asking much more, Dariel grabbed the phone and checked who the sender was.
Zeline continued to watch Dariel’s expression, which could have turned annoyed or happy, the most important thing was that Zeline was very curious. However, Dariel did not react at all when he read the message from Angela and then put his cellphone back. This made Zeline confused and her curiosity grew even more.
“You didn’t reply to the message?” Zeline asked.
“Hm? Oh, not something so important,” Dariel replied casually, as if he did not want to discuss it further.
.....
“It was... from Angela, right?”
“You saw it?”
“Not intentionally but I didn’t see the content of the message!” Zeline replied quickly, not wanting to be accused of being a rude girl who read other people’s messages.
Dariel chuckled amusedly, that heart-soothing smile etched on his lips. However, it did not last long. Dariel’s expression became serious and then looked at Zeline, making the blonde girl nervous. “Zeline, Angela confessed her feelings for me.”
It was like being struck by lightning when Dariel said that to Zeline. No, Zeline should have known that sooner or later Angela would express her feelings for Dariel. Zeline tried to remain calm, putting on a face as if she had no problem with Dariel and Angela’s relationship. “So?”
“I rejected her.”
Zeline bit her lower lip slightly, still trying to return Dariel’s gaze which continued to stare at her very intently. “Why?”
“You asked why? Because I love you,” Dariel replied, frowning. “Everything happened suddenly, but since the atmosphere was so favorable, I had to tell Angela that there was no love for her,” Dariel continued.
“And that message?”
“A reply to my previous message. I apologized to her for the rejection. She told me to leave her alone.” Dariel recounted everything that happened at that moment, without adding or subtracting anything.
It would be a lie if Zeline was not happy when she found out Dariel had really chosen her. Dariel really loved her. Even though compared to Angela, everyone should know that she is nothing. But why is Dariel so crazy?
Zeline’s heart was beating very fast, she was fully aware that this beat came from Dariel’s declaration of love. That man who never got tired of professing his love for her despite being rejected time and time again.
“Zeline, what else do I have to prove for you to accept my love?” Dariel asked as he tucked Zeline’s blond hair behind his ear. Zeline’s face was so beautiful to the eye, plus the night light that highlighted her face made Dariel speechless. Zeline was enchanting, no matter what the girl did. “I love you.”
Again, Dariel would continue to express his love openly.
“I-I know.”
“Your answer?”
Zeline closed her eyes briefly, regulating the beating of her heart so that it did not beat too fast like she wanted to jump out of her place. This was all because of that jerk Dariel. Zeline was still cursing Dariel inwardly.
“What do you want from me?” Zeline asked back.
“Stupid question. Of course I want you to love me too and for us to get married,” Dariel replied as smoothly as a highway. Dariel noticed Zeline’s reddened ears, he knew the blonde girl was blushing. Dariel lifted Zeline’s chin to look back at him, then said, “Answer me. How do you feel about me?”
“Answer honestly or lie?”
“Zeline, I’m being serious.”
“F-fuck! I hate serious situations like this!”
“But you have to.”
“Ugh... maybe.”
Dariel raised one eyebrow, dissatisfied with Zeline’s answer.
“Even if I want to marry you, I still have to settle my relationship with Dante,” Zeline continued with a sad expression.
“I will help you.”
Zeline shook her head softly, refusing the offer. “It’s my business with him.”
“If that’s the case, then you want to marry me? Do you love me?”
“Shut up.”
“I want to know, Zeline. Do you love me?” Dariel’s persistent questioning overwhelmed Zeline. Not to mention that the man’s body was leaning closer and closer to her.
“Ge–get away from me! You’re too close!” screeched Zeline pushing Dariel’s body although it did not make the man actually move away due to the considerable power comparison.
“Since when did you make a big deal out of something like this? The Zeline I know is a seductive girl who has no problem getting close to anyone.”
“Who said that?! You’re talking nonsense, you bastard!”
Zeline did not move when Dariel kissed her, a kiss that made her addicted and difficult to forget what they had done at that time. The first time she had sex with Dariel. Zeline could not resist and had no intention of doing so,s he slowly closed her eyes. Enjoying the touch of Dariel’s lips caressing her, Dariel’s hands gently stroking Zeline’s blonde hair and going down to the nape of the neck to deepen the kiss. Zeline placed her hand on Dariel’s chest, she could feel the doctor’s heart beating fast. Not much different from her own heart.
Shortly after that, the kiss broke. They stared at each other without saying a word. Just looking at each other, admiring the beautiful work of God’s creation right before their eyes.
“I love you, Zeline,” Dariel said as he caressed the girl’s cheek. He was a little surprised when Zeline put her arms around his neck and kissed him again.
“...Me too.”
***
Zeline sent a message to Dante, the only sugar baby she had now. She had decided very carefully to end the forbidden relationship. Zeline had gotten sincere love, and that was from Dariel. She did not want to regret and waste it again and did not want Arthur’s suffering to rub off on her.
Dante was already at the place where they usually met and made love. Zeline’s heart was beating fast. Not out of love, but fear. How will Dante respond when Zeline says she wants to end their long-standing sugar dating?
The sound of the elevator clinking was heard, Zeline was already on the floor where the room Dante gave her. Just a few steps away, she will meet her sugar daddy. Until where Zeline was really at the door.
Zeline swallowed her saliva roughly, she had prepared for all the good and bad that would happen. Even though Dante had said it did not matter if Zeline stopped being his sugar baby, Zeline still could not fully believe it.
Zeline’s cell phone rang again, an incoming message notification from Dante.
[Still long?]
[No, Daddy. I’ve arrived.]
