After Benjamin heard her coquettishness, his thin lips lifted a fraction, curving into a devilish smirk.
“I don't want to go out.”
Arissa was rendered speechless, and she hurriedly got up. However, a pair of long arms reached out to
hug her tightly as she struggled to break free.
“What are you doing? Dad asked us to hurry up. We're almost late!”
Benjamin smiled and helped her up, and then he got up himself.
“Let's go down in a while.”
From his voice, it was obvious what his intention was.
Arissa's ears started turning red. Sensing his movement, she quickly looked away and was too
embarrassed to stare at his pants.
“You're unbelievable!”
Benjamin cleared his throat and sat on the bed. Then, he patted the spot right next to him and said,
“Come here!”
Arissa was reluctant to go next to him since he was behaving strangely.
She sat on the chair again and touched up her makeup in front of the mirror. There, she saw her lips
were slightly swollen, and her face flushed again.
It was quiet in the room, but romantic tension filled the air.Arissa felt someone staring at her with an intense gaze.
Her eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but look at Benjamin's reflection in the mirror. When she saw
his gaze set on her, she turned around and glanced at him. Her heart skipped a beat when their eyes
met.
“Can you stop staring at me like that?”
“Come here!” Benjamin's voice was hoarse, and he hadn't calmed down yet.
In response, Arissa pursed her lips.
She flinched unwittingly when Benjamin got up.
A smile flashed across Benjamin's narrowed eyes as he walked toward the closet.
Blinking her eyes, Arissa thought he was going to approach her. Only then she realized she was
overthinking things.
Oh goodness, how awkward!
Soon, Benjamin came out with a pair of heels in his hands.
Arissa was touched by his action.
“I almost forgot.”
Benjamin walked up to her and squatted down halfway to put on the heels for her.
When his big hand grabbed her ankle and pulled her close, Arissa pulled back subconsciously.
Her cheeks flushed crimson and she felt her feet sweating.“I'll wear them myself!”
Benjamin ignored her and pulled her feet close to him again, wanting to slide on the heels for her.
Arissa was moved and felt her heart pound as she watched Benjamin focus on helping her.
Even though they were together, she was not used to him acting so sweetly and doing things for her. It
all felt surreal to her.
To think he hated her before this.
Benjamin proceeded to put the heel on the other foot after he was done with one foot.
As he lifted his head, he noticed her being in a daze.
He wondered if she was in a trance because of him. Benjamin's gaze darkened as he leaned in to kiss
her on her lips.
Arissa returned to her senses and quickly dodged him. Covering her mouth, she warned Benjamin
shyly, “I've just touched up my lipstick. What are you doing? We have to leave soon!”
Benjamin flashed a devilish smirk. “We still have time!”
“That doesn't make it okay!”
Arissa stared at him and chuckled when she saw her lipstick on the corner of his mouth.
“Your lips!”
Benjamin raised his brow. Needless to say, he knew what was going on.Then, he leaned forward to her. Shocked, Arissa hurriedly stepped back, not noticing that nothing was
supporting her back, and almost fell.
Benjamin took action immediately and grabbed her to pull her toward him.
Arissa fell into his arms and breathed heavily as she shuddered.
“Look at how clumsy you are! Am I that scary?”
Benjamin gave her a light scolding.
Looking at the woman in his arms, who looked stunned, he raised his thin lips slightly.
“You were the one who acted recklessly. I was afraid you were going to mess up my lipstick again.”
Arissa glared fiercely at Benjamin.
“I didn't do anything. I only wanted you to wipe off the lipstick stain on my mouth!”
Benjamin put on an innocent face as he looked at her with a smile.
Arissa rolled her eyes at him angrily and retorted shyly, “Why didn't you say so earlier? Who knows
what you were trying to do, suddenly coming so close to me.”
“What did you think I wanted to do?”
Benjamin teased her. His eyes were dark, like a whirlpool that could pull one's soul in.
Arissa's eyes flickered. “Hurry up and wipe your mouth. I'm heading downstairs!”
With that, she pushed him away and got up.
