World After Worlds
Chapter 342 - 342: § KISS ME MORE §

A week of vacation together, outside of town. The seven days were taken down to five days. Tiana seemed to be thinking of a way to make the given time shorter than five days. However, Lyndon could discern that she wanted to be with him for that long, but she was simply denying it by repudiating his initiation. Lyndon was very used to Tiana's reaction in each of their interactions, he knew what she would say or what she would do. She became predictable to him.

He stared at their hands which were intertwined together. She was not trying to break free like how she usually would. Like him, she was used to him too. However, unlike him, he could say, she did not know him… she could not read his mind nor predict his actions. She didn't even know what was going on in his mind that he—was not even sure what was.

Was it because Tiana was no longer excited to be with her? He often felt stoic with her. He was aware that he liked her, he still cherished her yet there was boredom between them. Or was it just him? Lyndon did not like that. He knew in this life, that Tiana would be the one who he would end up with. But in this predicament, how confident was he that this feeling of his would cooperate with him?

He was not sure.

These days, Tiana was not the one who was occupying his mind.

It was that woman…

That woman who had no dignity and would always throw herself to him was now too busy to even meet with him even on weekends. They have not been in contact for a week, it was the longest time she had not shown physically to him. All she ever did was call him and inform him of Kraig's schemes. For some reason, Lyndon could see she was deliberately avoiding him. He was supposed to be happy with the current situation yet he could not understand why he was not delighted with anything at all.

On the contrary, he was annoyed at anything at this moment. He was irritated why Tiana had not yet accepted him as her boyfriend, it had been so long. Even he was surprised that this courting stage lasted a year. Although he could see the results of his effort, he was not in the slightest thrilled with it. Tiana was falling in and him… he… was he falling out?

He frowned when the thought came in. He returned his gaze to Tiana and stood up first so that they could get to their next class. She stood up and followed him silently, they walked in the corridor without talking. Both minds were too engaged with their thoughts.

"How about the beach on Greros? You would like it, the sand is white and although it is popular the place is not so crowded. Their delicacies, you would love to have a food trip there." Kraig's voice echoed in Lyndon's and Tiana's ears, he sounded like an excited kid promoting the place where he wanted to go.

By chance on the next corner of the hallway, they bump into each other. Kraig was chatting with Yanarym and she was giggling while he wrapped his arm on her shoulders and was staring at her intently while his smile was widely displayed. The four of them halted in the center of that intersection in that hallway. Kraig turned to see what made Yanarym stop walking and his expression had a flash of indignation. It vanished within a second like it was never there and maintained his joyful smile.

He was happy. No one could turn his mood sour at this moment. Not even Lyndon.

Minutes ago, he was having some breakdown because Yanarym denied him yet after they passed the potions they brewed she told him that they could have a long weekend vacation together. When he asked her how long that long vacation was, she said. She told him it would depend on him. He instantly proposed a ten days vacation which she agreed with no disposition. His depleted and negative thoughts were immediately pitched away.

He had been saying some potential places they could go to and she said she would like to go to the beach with some mountain views. With her being complaisant, it added a pleasing feeling to him. The heaviness and uneasiness on his chest faded just like that…

"Can we get through?" Tiana had a little smile on her face as she was looking away at Kraig's face.

Yanarym held onto Kraig's hand that was resting on her shoulders. She glanced at Lyndon and quickly shifted her eyes to the side. Lyndon saw it, he was vexed. Even the smile she had when she was talking to Kraig earlier faded away upon seeing him. It was as if it was a provocation.

The hallway was not narrow and it was not wide either. Four people could fit if they were skinny. However, Kraig and Lyndon, although they were not bulky, were not that small either. The two pairs were both holding each like they did not want to separate from the person they were holding so either one of them should give way for one pair to get through.

"Yeah," Kraig responded to Tiana and stepped aside with Yanarym.

"Thanks," Tiana replied and pulled Lyndon's hand to get through them. Lyndon tightened his grasp on her hand and led the way at a fast pace to walk away.

Tiana thought that Lyndon became jealous of Kraig because of her so his sudden action was justified. She did not refute Lyndon and catch up to his big and accelerated steps.

Kraig, who had the same thought as Tiana, grinned at Lyndon's reaction. He was cognizant that Tiana was moving on from him, maybe at this point, she had completely shifted her affection to Lyndon. Yet Kraig did not care, he swerved to look at Yanarym and saw that she removed her sweet smile when she looked at Lyndon and Tiana. He was getting happier.

Yanarym did not spare a glimpse of Lyndon's or Tiana's and smiled at Kraig. "What kinds of food do they have? I'm craving buko pie." She said to Kraig as if nothing interrupted their conversation. Kraig enclosed her small hand that was holding him. He looked around and saw that several students were walking in the corridor and gave up the idea of pinning her on the wall to kiss her deeply.

He simply leaned on her and pecked on her cheeks and they continued ambling on their way to the cafeteria. "I'm sure they have that, or I'll look somewhere else who has it."

"Do you have time to research places with buko pie?" She asked, concerned. "Aren't you busy with your family matters lately? Let's just go at Greros."

"It's fine, I guess it's almost done. I can have a rest with you for the entire week. Also, you will be absent from your summer classes for me. It's only natural that I sacrifice my time for you too." He said with a warm tone that softened her expression. She parted her lips as if she was about to say something but in the end, she did not say anything. Smiling gorgeously, she tiptoed on him and reached out for his lips.

His arm that was placed on her shoulders fell on her waist and his hands held on to her. Supporting her. Embracing her close. Her little fingers slipped on his hair and some were brushing on his nape. His self-consciousness was swept away as soon as her soft lips landed on him.

That was not fair.

He was holding himself not to just kiss her anywhere but she was willingly attacking him like this. He could pretend to be a gentleman for occasional moments, however, he did not think he could ever refuse to kiss her back. He gasped and gave her an entry to his mouth and she granted him torridly.

Her tongue wandered, her teeth bit him and sucked him. Kraig forgot the other students that might be watching them and drowned himself in her. He gently pushed her to the wall not so far from them and when her back landed there, he began to reciprocate her kisses with intensity. Fought her tongue for dominance and pushed him so that he could savor her just as much as she savored him. No one knew when to stop, Kraig felt that she had no intention of ceasing so he was gradually pulling himself out of this spellbinding kiss.

"People are watching," he whispered to her when their lips detached. He opened his eyes and found that she was still in trance running after him. He chuckled and combed her hair, she opened her eyes and he saw how she was mudded on him.

"Don't care about them, kiss me more." She replied and gazed at him full of emotion, he swallowed hard and suppressed his urge, and unknowingly cursed on his mind. I want to take her home… damn.
