Perfect disguise by Elizabeth A (speld decodable readers .txt) 📗

Dominic's POV.

Her question sounded like she was actually asking for the reasons. I didn't know why I wanted her to stay, but I wanted her to be with me. I mentally shook my head. I'm sure I'm not making any sense. 

Who knew feelings could be so complicated?

I nodded. "Yeah, I want you to stay."

She stood still for a long time without saying anything, her eyes observing me. I brushed the nape of my neck feeling nervous. 

Does she want to stay?

Is she feeling uncomfortable around me?

Am I bothering her?

I really wanted to know her thoughts, what does she thinks about me? How does she feel when she is with me? This isn't making sense. I'm not meant to be thinking this way, but why does my heart fluttered whenever I thought about her?

She smiled sweetly and nodded her head. "Alright."

After playing the bike race video game, we went for a ride in the ferris wheel. Zoe was so excited to climb it, she kept on jumping and hasting us to get the ticket. we climbed the ferris wheel and I sat at the right and Diana sat beside me with Zoe at the center. The wheel slowly starts to spin. 

Immediately, Diana tensed up and focused her eyes on her hands which was resting on her laps. 

Was she scared of height?

The wheel started going up. Zoe gazed at the wheel before looking at me. "Uncle Dominic, it is going up!" She squeaked in pure excitement. 

Amidst her excitement, I noticed Diana closing her eyes and clenching her laps. 

I brushed my hand against my neck resisting the urge to hold her trembling hands. I have never seen her this scared before. I was so used to seeing her acting so confident and daring that I didn't realize she also have weaknesses. 

"Diana."

She opened her eyes when she heard my voice and swallowed nervously. The wheel was already spinning fast. She tensed her shoulders as we reached the top of the wheel.

"Look at me, Diana." I said calmly.

She took a deep breath and slightly raised her head. I reached out to her and cupped her cheek. I gently moved her face toward mine. 

She raised her eye to mine and I smiled. "Don't look down, just look at me."

She nodded and I felt her becoming more relaxed. "Okay."

I dropped hand from her cheek and held her hand. I squeezed her hand and flashed a smile at her. "Don't panic, You are safe with me."

She looked at our entwined hands and smiled. Her smile unlocked a desire I didn't know I had. I pressed back my lips and leaned towards her. She sat up and stared at my lips. She bit her bottom lips and tightened her hands underneath mine. I swallowed dryly. She looked so damn sexy whenever she did that.

 My lips met hers.

 I slid my left hand through her silky hair and the entire world drowned out of view.
