Chapter 30: Chapter 30

Out of the hospital, Barra was busy discussing something with his men. I didn't know what they were talking about, because Barra told me to wait here ... Sitting on the car hood with a pensive face waiting for him.

My eyes stole his glance. Every time he talked to his men, his face looked serious.

His aura was different from the one when he was with me. His lips parted and closed for a moment giving orders to them. His gaze dived sharply at them, and the way his arms folded in front of his chest incessantly made me admire him.

He looked so damn powerful.

His men looked down at what he said, then they went into the SUV cars which was parked beside me. They all left, leaving me and Barra who were still in the parking area. There was no one else besides us.

Barra let out a soft breath before his gaze now fixed on me. His lips stuck out with his right eyebrow lifted.

I sent him a thin smile as he was walking towards me, "All done?"

He nodded, stroking his hair slowly, "I'm hungry, let's eat first."

"When it comes to food, I can never say no." I grinned before jumping into his arms. He swiftly caught me. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and looked down into his eyes.

"You have a beautiful eyes." He smiled at me, with his hands holding my body.

"Your eyes are even more beautiful than mine, I wish I had them." I looked into his eyes still with the same smile I had on my face.

He chuckled as his gaze fixed on my lips. Slowly, his hand tucked my stray hair behind my ear. He jerked his thumb right on my lips, caressing it gently. I closed my eyes, enjoying how his thumb made them apart.

When I opened my eyes, his lips were only an inch from mine. I flinched, feeling his body pushed my body back to the car hood. It felt so intense when our body got more close.

He didn't even close his eyes as if he wanted me to show my expression to him. I didn't dare take a step first, waiting for him to take it.

He smirked before slamming his lips on me. He kissed me roughly and passionately. In a minute, I kissed him back, with my hands reaching for his hair to get closer.

He bit my lower lip when I didn't open my mouth. "Ahh... hmmm." I moaned when his tongue managed to enter and exploring all the inside of my mouth. My hands went to the back of his neck, making him deepened our kiss. He was claiming my lips to his mercy. "Fuck, I want you." He murmured.

I swear, those words made me almost lose control. His voice was hoarse and really hot.

And he said that he wanted me ... Oh my God what had this man done to me-yep, especially to my heart.

I let go of his lips as I closed my eyes. We were craving for the air. Slowly, I opened my eyes. His eyes darkened, looking at me with lust and passion.

As soon as he brought his lips closer to me, I stopped him. I remembered what he had said, and his words were holding me back. If he just wanted to be playing around then better stop this all.

Shock flashed in his eyes before they finally disappeared. "I'm sorry." He took his face away from me, but I pulled back his neck.

"Don't go. I need time to process what happen between us." I closed my eyes then brought my forehead closer to him, feeling each breath of his that hit my face.

"Please, give me a chance." He whispered in begging tone.

I grinned, "Let's take it slow then."

He carried me and then opened the car door with one hand and the help of his leg. I laughed seeing his nonsense behavior, he also laughed because he had trouble opening the car door.

"Finally." He muttered in half chuckling.

He managed to open the car door then he put me down gently and closed the door. He jogged to the side of the seat then opened the door. "Dinner time." He said with gusto.

The car engine was on and we immediately left the parking area.

"What are we going to eat, my principessa?" He asked.

I thought with my fingers tapping my lips until a cafe grabbed my attention, "See that cafe? Why don't we try to go there?"

Barra looked for the cafe I was pointing and he replied, "Isn't that a cafe just for coffee?"

"I guess, but they definitely sell a variety of bread." I shrugged, "It's late anyway, are you sure you want to eat a heavy meal?" I asked as he turned his car into the parking area of ​​the cafe.

"Well, let's go there." He smiled then invited me to immediately enter the cafe.

"Welcome." A woman greeted us as soon as we entered the door, "Wow, you guys are the Ainsley and the Ozza?" Her eyes sparkled, making us stared at each other.

Barra walked towards her, smiling politely, "Hi." He greeted her before turning his attention back to me, "So, what do you want? Hot tea? Chocolate bread?" His eyes wandered into the window displays and menu lists that were plastered.

"Hot tea and chocolate bread sounds good to me."

"Can we have hot black coffee and hot tea? One chocolate bread and one strawberry." She smiled and immediately placed his order.

"That's it?" He asked me then I nodded before sitting on the corner near the heater.

I watched Barra who was still waiting for our order, occasionally his face showed a smile. How sweet of him, I thought. His eyes were glowing whenever words came out of his perfect lips.

I bit my inner cheek when he approached me with a tray, "Getting comfy, huh?" I nodded mutely.

"Here." He moved my order from the tray to the table.

My hands touched the warm tea cup to get rid of the cold. He took his first sip of his coffee before his eyes were turning back to mine. I honestly admitted that until now I still embarrassed under his gaze. I wouldn't get bored seeing how beautiful those eyes since I had opened mine. Those eyes intoxicated my soul every time they were straing at me.

"I like your eyes." I finally got the courage to tell him directly.

"You've said that, principessa." He smirked, half shrugged, "By the way, I like them too."

"Back to a cocky one? I see." I rolled my eyes as I took a bite my chocolate bread.

"I like your lips." He smirked, "Especially when they're opening like that." He licked his lips as I felt my cheeks heat up.

"Out of words, aren't you?" He chuckled.

Shit! My flushed cheeks must be clearly visible, "Can you just stop looking at me?" I asked, trying to cover up my embarrassment by sipped my warm tea so that my face was closed from his sight.

"Your cheeks are flushed." I swore even though he didn't tell me, I already knew it. He really made me blush on purpose.

I put the cup back on the table, "Stop. It." I sent him my most dangerous stare.

"That gaze didn't affect me earlier when we were at the hospital parkir lot."

My cheeks were getting hotter, I was like ready to explode.

He chuckled then took a bite of his strawberry bread.

"It's very funny to see Barra Ainsley who's admired by many people eating strawberry-flavored bread." I teased him then acting ignored by eating my bread.

"It was really nice knowing I was admired by many people, thanks for the info." His face filled with joy like sunshine.

I rolled my eyes making him chuckle even more. Based on Jazzlin's memory, Barra had been liking all variety of flavors, but his favorite was strawberries. The man liked sour strawberries in contrast to Jazzlin who was preferring sweet fruits.

The chocolate bread tasted so good. The last time I ate chocolate bread was when there were visitors at the orphanage who gave out free food.

At that time, Haytham and I were only ten years old. We both loved chocolate so much that we often fight over it. And, yeah, it was always Haytham who gave in to me.

"You've been smiling since earlier, what's wrong?" I gasped and immediately found Barra's face filled with confusion.

"I'm thinking of mementos from childhood." I answered directly.

He laughed, "Our childhood was great." The answer was further.

I grinned slightly. Sometimes my memories and Jazzlin got mixed up. I forgot that right now this man in front of me had been my best friend since I was little.

His face suddenly serious, "I have one question for you." He swallowed hard.

"What is that?" He was so serious that it made anxiety swirled around me.

"Do you know about the agreement between your father and my father?"
