Addison . A When I jumped off Zane's laps , it felt like my heart was about to fly out of my chest , and I kept feeling like I had made a very big mistake just now . 50 % 23 Marco was no longer looking at me , having faced Aisha back and was presently kissing her hungrily , but I still felt like I had done something I wasn't supposed to be doing . I was still breathing hard from how hard I came just now and my legs were still even trembling . Heck , my panties are still wet as well , however , I just couldn't regulate my pounding heart . " Hey , what's wrong ? " Zane asked as he easily rose to his feet and towered over me , making me feel breathless for a completely different reason again . " Nothing , " I muttered while his eyes narrowed cause he clearly didn't believe me . His eyes moved around the crowd till it landed on Marco , then he arched a brow at me . " Perhaps it had something to do with my brother ? " He asked and I bit on my bottom lip , refusing to respond . When I still didn't say anything , he sighed and began to walk away . I thought he was mad at me and wanted to instantly call him back , but I felt rooted to the same spot , my entire body still trembling . Am I doing the right thing right now ? I asked myself quietly , and I even glanced at the sky in hopes of a response magically appearing up there , but there was nothing . Marco and Aisha were still making out when I glanced over at them , she was hovering over his knees , her hands wrapped around his shoulders as they kissed like they had no shame . A flush quickly went through my entire body as soon as I reminded myself that I was just like them , seeing as there was no way I could judge them right now when I just got fingered in public like a whore that has no class . I let my eyes wander around for a moment before I pushed through the crowd till I got to the part where the music wasn't that loud , then I dialed Gregg's number . I've missed listening to his voice so much . He was the voice of reasoning between us , and he always had the best advice to give . We've been best friends since high school and despite life trying to separate us countless times , we're still friends . He's presently happily married with two kids and is the best father a child could ever ask for out there . " Oh so you finally remembered to call your best friend ?! " He yelled into the phone after accepting the 1/4 11:54 Wed , 3 Sept OA Chapter 28 call and I laughed softly . ས , 50 % +23 I didn't call Gregg on purpose since I arrived here , choosing to only text him cause sometimes , it's hard to lie to him without him knowing , and I didn't want him to know I was doing the opposite of what I promised him I was gonna do when I arrived here . He made me promise that I'll really try to get over Marco this time , that I'll also try to let loose and give another guy a chance at this wedding . But alas , I was presently doing the complete opposite . " Gregg , how do you know if you're making a wrong decision ? " I asked and he went silent at first , clearly processing the question . " What did you do , Addison ? " I rolled my eyes . " I didn't do anything , I just wanted to know , " " You're lying , I just know it . That's why you didn't call me , right ?! " I sighed , hating that he could see through me like this . " I'm serious , Gregg , just answer the question . " " I have a bad feeling about this , Addison . But to answer your question , when you know you're making a bad decision is when your heart drop into your stomach when you do that , and you feel guilty , sick to your stomach , or ashamed ... the list is quite long ." " Oh . " I muttered and he hummed . " However , you could be doing something right and still feel guilty . In this case , the person just needs to understand what they want . " He continued and my eyes widened again . " Oh . " " Yeah , so what did you do ? " He demanded and I pushed the hair out of my face . " I'll call you back tonight , Gregg . Thank you for your help as usual ! " I told him , ignoring his protests as I hurriedly ended the call . I let out a long breath , feeling like I was standing in the middle of a two road street , unable to step forward , cause it didn't seem like I knew what I'm doing anymore . A hand touched my shoulder and I flinched and whirled around , then my eyes settled on Zade's face . He was staring down at me with eyes that made my skin feel sensitive at once , and my heart automatically began to pound as our eyes locked . 2/4 11:54 Wed , 3 Sept A Chapter 28 3 50 % " I was looking for you . You good ? " He murmured and I felt surprised because I thought he was mad at me or something . " I came here to call Gregg , that is all . I'm okay . " I responded and he nodded as he stepped forward , making the breath hitch in my throat . I want to back away at once , to run far away , cause this is wrong . The look I saw on Marco's face back there made me feel like a whore without shame . However , I also liked Zane's hands on me , and it was all I thought about a lot throughout today . He settled a hand on my shoulder , the other , he slipped underneath my thighs as he scooped me up before I could blink , and I let out a startled gasp as I clung onto his large shoulders even though I was certain he wouldn't drop me . " W- " He easily cut me off as he began to walk towards the drive way . " Your legs must start to hurt in those heels , no ? " He wasn't wrong . They were really starting to hurt cause I wasn't even someone that wore it often unless extremely necessary . " Thank you . " I whispered quietly and my heart fluttered stupidly . Marco or the others weren't here right now so there was no need for this pda cause I know he definitely dosent care about me like this . Which is why I hate it when he does stuff like this , or randomly strokes my hair when no one was watching , or the way he complimented me so much back at the museum this morning ... cause I know all of that wasn't true . Yet , despite being aware of that , my heart keeps fluttering and raving at those acts . But I've confirmed that my heart is pretty dumb , so that isn't a surprise anymore . All that's left for me to do is to put an end to these acts so I don't confuse my heart further . I'll start by putting my foot down once and telling him no touching of any kind till whenever there's a need for pda once we arrive at the island . However , when we arrived at the island , all my plans to put my foot down and set some rules went up in flames as soon as he began to take care of me . He ran me a bath , prepared me some tea he insists always worked with soothing his grandfather , and he helped me dry my towel while I was perched in his laps . Basically , I was too weak once his hand settled on my body as he began to maneuver me around . The fact that he didn't even try anything sexual and was just taking care of me made my heart flutter so much that I worry it might fly out of my chest . No one has taken care of me like this . Presently , he was massaging my feet with a strawberry scented 3/4 11:54 Wed , 3 SeptOA Chapter 28 oil while I laid in bed , trying not to shiver or moan from how good the massage felt . 50 % & It's just so daunting to me that someone with this many tattoos who's said to be dangerous is treating me like this when he most definitely shouldn't . After the massage , he went to shower while I laid in the bed , tense as hell cause I promised myself that after he comes out , I'll tell him no more touching me unless in public . Even though I didn't like it , I was determined to do it for my own sanity . However when he reemerged shirtless with his long hair framing and making him look like a god , I forgot what I planned to say to him . By the time he slid into the bed and tugged me right into his chest , I tensed for a moment before melting against him and inching even closer, enjoying the feel of his warm , heavy hand across my waist , and the feeling of his hard lap between my legs , which I was trying not to grind down on . " Sleep well , bunny . " He whispered against my head and I shuddered , exhaling against his throat and melting into him even more while I breathed in his scent deeply . " Good night . " I mumbled back in response , promising myself that unfailingly by tomorrow , I'll set those damn rules no matter what ! 11:54 Wed , 3 Sept Chapter 29 Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
