Waiting at Midnight


    I needed to find a way to meet Jared. Given the situation, he either had a hidden agenda or treated


    Ivanna as another fling. Both would be devastating to Ivanna. I couldn’t stand aside and watch my


    crumble.

    I thought Trinity didn’t care about him or ignored his affairs, but those were slim chances. A woman


    whomanded such respect wouldn’t tolerate sharing her man. When I saw them together, their


    chemistry


    was unmistakable.


    I felt an increasing dread. Still, Ivanna seemed prepared for the worst.


    “There are no unyielding principles regarding emotions. Once you’re in it, you can’t resist, right? We’re


    only human, not gods. The heart wants what it wants.” Ivanna was conflicted, and her words left me


    uneasy.


    Though I understood her, bittersweet love was something only few could grasp.


    It waste, so I prepared to leave. Ivanna said, “Why don’t you stay the night?”


    I shook my head. “I’d rather go home. We both could sleep here, but I have something important to do


    but tomorrow. Don’t overthink and be rational. After all, Trinity is no ordinary person. It’s not about fear,


    caution.‘

    I patiently admonished her but knew I was the only one who could navigate this. No one else could


    sever the ties, making me think of As. Even though I yed it cool, only I could understand my inner


    turmoil.


    When I left Ivanna’s ce, I took a deep breath and gazed at the sky. I parked my car and was about to


    exit when someone entered the passenger side. I was startled to see a handsome face and smell his


    scent.


    I didn’t know what to say and simply stared at the man.


    “Did you miss me?” He teased flirtatiously, but I couldn’t read his expression.


    “Aren’t you overstepping by showing up sote at night?” I asked with resistance.


    I wondered why he visited sote and didn’t know how to interpret his actions.


    “I was just sending Harmony home. I knew you hadn’t returned when I didn’t see your car, so I waited


    for


    you,” he answered casually.


    I was dazed and wondered if he needed to unt sending Harmony home.


    Excuse me, Mr. As, you don’t need to report your whereabouts to me,” I replied coldly, “Please get


    out


    “Are you jealous?” He looked at me mischievously with an enticing smile.


    “Please stop imposing your ideals on others. I’m genuinely happy to see you and your girlfriend so


    affectionate. Still, you don’t have to unt it because I’m not interested,” My words were distant, but


    even


    I knew I was bitter and jealous.


    I reached for the car keys before getting out, but he pulled me back. I fell into his embrace, which


    caused my head to buzz. When I struggled to get up, he kissed me.


    I froze as the familiar sensation left me longing and dizzy. As’s fresh breath made me greedy,


    nostalgic, and intoxicated. I forgot all grievances and condemnation. I even forgot where I was and


    what I was doing. I just wanted the kiss to continue.
