63. Kiss Me

POPPY:

I took back my words realizing how desperate I sounded. I did not want any validations from other people. Especially from my husband.

Husband…it became normal to call Sebastian my husband.

Exhaling, I evaded Sebastian's eyes and opened the door on my side.

"I'm just kidding. Don't think about it, Sebastian. Do not take everything I said seriously."

He laughed darkly. “You’re becoming a coward, Poppy.”

I stopped mid-air and asked, “Why?”

“You’re not going to hear my answer?”

I was about to say, no, but my mouth had other things. “What is it?”

He leaned in, causing me to back away until there was no choice, but to stare at his eyes.

“Yes, you are included. You are now an occupant in my heart, wife."

I forgot how to breathe.

An occupant in his expensive heart where only a few resided?

“What’s that supposed to mean?” I inquired nervously.

“It is what it is.”

He lifted my chin and stared at my mouth, lingering there.

I gulped and wet my lips. The desire to kiss him again resurface
