13- Not-So-Innocerrt (Book 2)
Eve’s pov
As we stood in the kitchen, I reached up and lightly touched his lips, causing him to gulp down nervously. He hadn’t been
expecting the sudden contact, but he couldn’t help the warmth that spread through his eyes at my touch.
Slowly, his arms came around my waist, pulling me closer to him.
“I missed you,” he whispered, his voice low and filled with longing. “I missed us, Eve.”
My heart swelled at his words, and I knew what he was talking about. Because I felt the same way.
“I missed us too/ I replied softly, my lips brushing against his as I spoke.
For a moment, we just stood there, lost in each other’s embrace. The warmth of his body against mine felt like home, and I knew
that I never wanted to let him go.
“Can we start again?” he asked suddenly, his voice hesitant but filled with hope.
I looked up at him, my eyes meeting his. I could see the vulnerability there, the fear of rejection. But I knew that I couldn’t deny
him this. Not when I felt the same way.
It might not be love. Yet it was something more than friendship.
Nodding slowly, I leaned up and kissed him again, pouring all my love and passion into the kiss. At that moment, nothing else
mattered. We were together, and that was all that we needed.
As we pulled away from each other, our eyes locked. This time, without warning he was the one who leaned forward and took my
lips in his to claim them.
I at once gave up and started responding to the kiss. Just a few minutes back when I thought he was ignoring me, I guess I was
wrong. The man seemed to know when to give me space and when to blow my mind with those magical kisses.

Leaning into his hard body, I moaned and went still when his hardness touched my inner thigh. He must have sensed my
stiffness because he not only pulled back but held me by my shoulders.
“Damn, Eve. Come to my place.” My eyes went wide with this sudden and unexpected invitation.
“What?” I chuckled.
“I am serious, love.” He cupped my cheek gently, “I promise I will behave like a gentleman. I will cook food for you. We will watch
a movie of your choice. We will talk.”
I tried to push back my Elijah back in my mind. He used to say the same.
Later he had become confident and used to pass those dirty jokes.
“What are you thinking, long legs?” He waved his hand before my eyes. His heavy voice broke the trance I was in.
I blinked a few times, trying to shake off my thoughts before focusing back on him. “I’m thinking that you’re being awfully sweet
and gentlemanly, Mr. Adonis. Are you feeling, okay?’ I teased him, chewing my lower lip.
He chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “Yes, I’m feeling just fine.
Just trying to impress you, that’s all.” He said while touching my nose tip.
I tilted my head to the side, considering his offer. ‘Well, I suppose I could use a night in. I hope your cooking isn’t half bad,” I
admitted, trying to control the smile spreading across my face, “But don’t expect me to spend the night there.” I tried to warn him
in a light manner.
His grin widened in response. “Excellent. I will expect nothing if you are not comfortable.” He held my hands, “I’ll make my
famous lasagna. And we can pick a movie to watch. Maybe something cheesy and romantic, just for you.”
I rolled my eyes at him but couldn’t help the laughter that bubbled up. “Oh, great. Just what I always wanted,” I joked, nudging
him playfully.
He laughed along with me, his arm sliding around my waist. “Hey, I am sure you will love it/ he said, leaning in to kiss me lightly.
Out of nowhere, I felt contentment enveloping my heart. Maybe things weren’t perfect between us, but he seemed ready to

welcome whatever I was offering him. And at that moment, that was all that mattered.

“Okay. You’ve convinced me. Let’s meet at your place. Tonight I already have plans with my friends though,” I said, and then
remembered about my friends.
Both of them had seemed to vanish from the living room. Maybe they were fighting over the selection of some movie.
He squeezed my waist. “You won’t regret it, long legs. I promise.” By now my eyes were moving to the closed door of Ash’s
room.
“What is it?” he asked me in concern.
“My friends...” “Oh. They are very much mature adults. They must be busy inside.”
Oh, I wish I could tell him. None of us were mature adults. In fact, we were the opposite. The way we used to eavesdrop when
Justin used to visit Ashley. Ha-ha.
I was sure my friends must be listening to us. I tried to stifle the urge to giggle. Adonis was frowning at me and didn’t seem to
mind my nonserious attitude in this serious situation.
“So... should I pick you up tomorrow? For our innocent date?” I chuckled at the term. Innocent date! Great!
After giving me a passionate kiss, he left, leaving me like a fool standing there with a silly smile on my face.
However, I had to swallow hard when I heard the sounds of clearing throats behind me.
I spun around to see Ash and Aniya, both looking at me with smirks on their faces. “What?” I asked, feeling my face heat up.
Ash crossed her arms over her chest, a teasing glint in her eye. ’Oh, nothing. Just wondering if you’re going to tell us all about
your ‘innocent date’ with him/ she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
Urgh! They were listening!
I rolled my eyes at her but couldn’t help the grin that tugged at the corners of my lips. “You guys are impossible. And no, I don’t
kiss and tell,” I retorted, trying to sound serious but failing miserably.
Aniya snorted, shaking her head. “Sure, sure. We believe you,”
I glared at her playfully, before shooing them, “Get lost you two. I was hoping for a little decency, thinking that you both were
selecting a movie. But no. You were overhearing my conversation. Get back to your movie or whatever you’re doing. I have a

date to prepare for,” I said, trying to sound serious but I couldn’t stop the laughter bubbling up in my chest.
“Shut up!” Ash slapped my back, “The date is tomorrow. Now go and change into something comfortable so that we can start a
movie. And yes. You are not selecting the movie tonight. You can do it tomorrow at his place.” Ash stuck out her tongue and
disappeared into the room along with Aniya to bring the DVDs.
Even if they were a handful at times, they were my best friends and I loved them for it.
But now, it was time to focus on my ‘innocent’ date with Adonis.
We all were watching Titanic and while looking at Rose and Jack I kept thinking about Adonis. No matter how hard I tried, his
smiling face was continuously popping before my eyes.
I didn’t want to remember his real name. But the passionate night we spent together was not possible to forget. The way he used
to tease me and kiss me.
“Eve!” I frowned when I heard my name being called.
“Hmm? Yes?” I straightened on the couch and looked around to find the living room lighten up, “Why you switched off the
movie?” I looked at the dark screen of the LED, “Or is it the popcorn break?”
I took the quilt off me and placed my feet on the floor.
“Girl! The movie has ended. Were you snoozing?” Aniya stood up placing her hands on her hips.
“Or maybe,” Ashley leaned back on her couch, “You were busy thinking about someone else!” There was a hint of
mischievousness in her voice.
I could feel my cheeks heating up. I would never admit to them that I was thinking about Adonis.
“Who was it?” Aniya asked, smirking at me.
“Come on, Eve. Spill the beans.” Ashley urged me, giving me a playful nudge. I rolled my eyes, trying to hide my smile. “It’s no
one, guys. I was just lost in my thoughts.” “Lost in your thoughts, my foot!” Aniya laughed, “I bet it’s the Adonis guy.”

I tried to deny it, but my blush gave it away. “Fine, it was Adonis. Happy now?”
Both of my friends exchanged a knowing look, and I knew they were going to tease me about it..

“Ooh, our Eve is going on a date with Adonis.” Ashley wiggled her eyebrows. Aniya joined in, “I bet she’s going to wear that red
dress she bought last week.”
I couldn’t help but laugh, “You guys are impossible. And no, I’m not wearing that dress.” “You totally should, girl.” Ashley grinned,
“Make him swoon.” “Ahan!” I rolled my eyes, “We are just friends. It’s a ... friendly date!” I tried defending myself.
“O.M.G! A friendly date? What is it? And the kisses you were giving him in the kitchen? They were soo friendly!”
Ashley tried to suppress her laughter when Aniya made this accusation.
“You two are brats!” I turned around and yawned loudly, “I am going to sleep now.” “By the way. Eve...” I turned when Ashley
tried to say something. Her tongue was touching her inner cheek.
“What?” I looked at their faces questioningly. They both were struggling to hide their grins.
“The movie.” Aniya wiggled her brows, “It was not ended.”
What! Before I could run after Aniya, she had disappeared inside Ash’s room. Ashley was standing there trying to stifle her
laughter.
“Was she serious? The movie didn’t end?” I asked her and was relieved when she shook her head.
“No, silly. She was just teasing you. Go to your room and dream about Adonis.” Though she said it lovingly, my smile faltered a
little.
No, Ashley. My dreams did not belong to Adonis. Only Elijah would be the one owning my dreams. This was the only way to
meet my beloved.
Adonis could be a vital part of my life. But my heart would always belong to Elijah.
I still love you, Elijah! I will always love you.

After knocking the door, I straightened my skirt hoping that I was not overdressed. The girl sitting at the reception counter, easily
allowed me when I told her my name.

“Long legs!” Adonis’s handsome face appeared in the doorway, in an attire different than his usual self. He was wearing a white
tank top with grey sweatpants.
An apron was tied around his waist making him look more sexy.
When I couldn’t utter a word, he chuckled holding my hand, “Stop checking me out. I know I look handsome.”
He remarked with a cocky grin. I could smell delicious food in the air.
He led me to the dining table where he had laid out the plates and cutlery. Pulling out a chair for me, he poured me some red
wine.
“Here you go, Cherie.” “Let me help you with bringing the dishes, Adonis.” I offered him my help.
“Maybe some other time. Let me serve you tonight.” He started putting the dishes on the table. The last one he placed was a
steaming hot lasagna.
“Hope you like lasagna/ He served me a big slice of lasagna on a plate and handed it to me.
“It looks amazing,” I said, taking a bite of the deliciously cheesy and meaty pasta., “Wow. You cooked that?” “You like it? I made it
from scratch.” He grinned and poured himself a glass of wine. “I also made some garlic bread, which I’m sure you’ll love.”
He placed the warm bread on a basket and passed it to me. As we ate and chatted, I couldn’t help but feel at ease with him.
As always, he was easy to talk to and had a great sense of humor. I found myself laughing and teasing him back. He poured us
another glass of wine and asked, “So, what do you think of my cooking skills, long legs?” “Impressive! You should open a
restaurant, Adonis. Shut that club!” I teased.
“Well, I can cook more than just lasagna. Maybe I’ll surprise you next time with something else.” “I’m looking forward to it,” I said,
taking another bite of the lasagna.
As we finished dinner, he brought out a chocolate cake he had ordered for dessert.
“I wanted to bake something for you. But my baking sucks.” We enjoyed a slice.
“This is amazing,” I said, savoring the rich, creamy cake.
“Thank you, Cherie. I’m glad you enjoyed it.” He looked pleased with himself.

As we sat there, chatting, and enjoying each other’s company, I couldn’t help but feel a spark of attraction between us. Maybe
this innocent date was not so innocent after all.
