Chapter 69: Evan’s Reward

Evan thought he was dreaming when

Shantelle called his name. He was too

exhausted. Evan couldn’t tell if it was

real. He wanted to fall into a deep slumber, but out of nowhere, he felt soft lips against his.

His eyes opened, feeling the drumming of his heart. He could not believe what he

had just witnessed. ‘Shanty kissed me?’

Evan was this close to pinching himself

for a reality check, but in the next second,

Shantelle frantically stood up and ran

outside Lucas’ room.

‘What just happened?’ Evan thought. ‘

She kissed me, but she ran away!’

Was Evan going to let her go that easily?

No. A big NO.

Evan carefully removed himself from

Lucas’ hold, but his son awoke when he

pulled back his arm. Lucas called,

Daddy, where are you going?”

“Lucas, I’ll only check on your mommy, but I’ll be right back. I promise,” he

replied.

Lucas gave his reluctant approval. Evan

rushed outside to find Shantelle’s room.

She stayed in her old room as a child, two- rooms away from Lucas’.

He knocked on the door, calling her

name. “Shanty, let’s talk. Open the door,

please. Please, Shanty.”

Evan kept knocking and knocking, but Shantelle would not reply. ‘Was she pretending to be asleep?’

Evan was about to give up all hope when

he realized another way into Shantelle’s

room; the Romeo style. He returned to Lucas’ room and found his son sleeping.

He went straight to the window and

looked out. He turned to the left and

analyzed the climb. There was very little

concrete that he could hold on to, but. despite this, he climbed out the window

and traversed into Shantelle’s small

balcony.

*****

Shantelle was leaning on her balcony window, biting her lip. She kissed Evan earlier, and she ran away.

‘Why did I even do that? Simple, Shanty, you wanted to!’ She scolded herself

silently.

When Evan came to her room, she did not reply. She hoped he would walk away and assumed she fell asleep incredibly fast.

She did not know how to face him.

Suddenly, she heard a loud thud against her balcony floor. She jerked while

turning around. To her shock, she saw

Evan standing there and chasing his

breath.

“Open the window, Shanty. You are wide

awake,” Evan pointed out.

She had no choice but to open the glass.

door and let him in. She mumbled, “What are you doing, Evan?”

“Someone stole a kiss, and I needed to get

it back.” He teased.

Evan stared into Shantelle’s blue-colored eyes. From there, she started reasoning, ” I – I thought – I thought I’d give you a reward for a good night out.”

“Ah.” A smile spread on his face. He replied, “That would be nice, Shanty, except I wasn’t awake to enjoy my

reward. If that is the case, then perhaps you should… do it again and properly.”

He spread his arms, offering himself,

Here I am.”

Seeing her think twice, he made his intentions clear. “I’m not leaving until I

get my proper reward. Please, Shanty. I want it… badly.”

Shantelle’s body solidified, but she eventually let her shoulders down and

said, “Okay.”

Her face turned bright red while adding,

a quick one.”

“Define quick,” Evan asked. “For me, a quick kiss is a minute – ”

“Hah! Don’t push your luck, Evan!”

Shanty shot back, but while she said

those words, she chuckled. “Don’t trick

me

Evan wound up giggling, too. He then

proposed, “As long as it feels right, let’s keep at it?”

As they were talking, Evan was

advancing. Shantelle was also taking

steps back. Eventually, she leaned against

the wall with Evan closing in on her. With this, she suggested, “One second.”

“Or if it feels right, keep at it?” He

insisted.

Shantelle’s mouth parted, thinking. She answered, “I don’t know about that, but –

Before she could finish her words, Evan’s

lips landed on hers, stilling her altogether.

Immediately, she felt a jolt of electricity run through her body, her heart

pounding angrily against her ribcage, and

the butterflies in her stomach went wild.

As Evan gave her a single-lip kiss, Shantelle thought, ‘What is happening to me?’

After many years of caging her heart and shutting down her emotions, why was she feeling this way again? Realizing what was happening to her, she sucked in

a breath, momentarily halting Evan’s kiss. She stiffened and closed her eyes.

“Please don’t do that, Shanty. Stop trying to control your feelings. At least for this

moment, let go,” Evan begged. He cupped

her chin and suggested, “Let go and let

me kiss you.”

He then sensed Shantelle’s arms relaxed.

Her eyes fluttered in agreement.

Evan rested his forehead against hers. He

lowered his head so that their noses

touched. He tilted his head just enough so

that nothing else could stand in the way of when their lips would meet.

Evan pecked Shantelle’s lips again. He

gave her gentle kisses and watched her close her eyes. However, unlike the last, her expression was soft. She was calmer.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

He went for it repeatedly, ultimately parting his lips. Evan turned his head to the other side and gently gave another kiss. This time, Shantelle kissed back.

Evan gave it another shot, and still, she returned the kiss. Oh, yeah. Evan was ready to celebrate, but before throwing a party for his achievement, he relished the

moment!

He kept at it, pecking and pecking. In each second that passed, his mouth parted further, and so did Shantelle’s.

As their kisses grew demanding, Evan’s hand slowly climbed up to the back of

Shantelle’s neck, his other arm circling

her waist. As for Shantelle, her hands also

crawled up to his chest.

Shantelle did as Evan requested. She allowed her passions to come through. It

scared the hell out of her, but at the same

time, when Shantelle acknowledged it, it gave her a wave of pleasure that she had not felt in a very long time. Thus, as Evan suggested, she let the kiss continue, as it felt very right at that moment.

Yes, it felt so right, even if her mind tried to oppose her.

Their kisses became louder and more

careless. Evan could not help but push a little of his tongue, and to his surprise, Shantelle did the same. The two did not

know how long their lips locked together, but they soon pulled away, feeling out of

breath.

Evan smiled while looking at her flushed

face and how she was chasing her breath. She did not say it, but he could tell he had

that effect on her. He simply didn’t know

the weight of it. Still, he was elated.

He embraced her tightly and pecked on

the side of her face. He said, “God, I love

you. I love you so much.”

“I want to keep holding you,” Evan

added. He held her stronger that

Shantelle was thoroughly wrapped in his arms, her face against the crook of his neck. “I don’t want to go to work.”

Shantelle was lost in her thoughts, hearing Evan repeatedly say those words of love. Moreover, being engulfed in his scent reminded her of how it felt good to be around him. All those years, she tried

to forget, but did she really forget? She wondered. Later on, she realized what he

had said.

Evan can’t miss work. She would hate to be the reason for any delay at the heart and lung center. She looked at him and weakly said, “You can’t skip tomorrow, though. Remember, you will inspect the heart and lung center before it opens next week?”

“Are you coming with me?” Evan asked while he slowly peeled off her.

“I wanted to,” she replied, her gaze gradually landing on Evan’s face. “Dad said the robotics arrived. I want to try it. It’s the most advanced technology for surgery.”

“Then, I’ll see you in the afternoon,”

Evan said. “In the evening, it will be

Wendell’s birthday. Can you and Lucas

come with me? It won’t be a big event, just family and close friends. He keeps

asking about you.”

“Wendell?” She asked. She thought about it and agreed. “I suppose it’s okay.”

Silence stretched between them for some time but eventually, Evan took the chance to ask, “Shanty, what does this mean. between us? Can we get back together, please? Do you love me?”

Yet again, Shantelle toughened. It was as

if talking about relationships or

commitments scared her to death. Evan

saw how she took a deep breath. Knowing

what she was doing, he immediately said,

“Relax, Shanty. Okay, I -”

“Evan, I want you to understand

something.” Ultimately, Shantelle

expressed, “I hate talking about the past, but it has everything to do with the changes in me.”

“I gave everything to you, Evan – told you

how I felt every day of my life. But despite that, it wasn’t enough to keep you. So yes, I have shut myself down for a very long time. I avoided these relationships with men, but after meeting you again, I’m trying to open up every day,” she

described.

“It’s hard for me to even talk about this –

to admit this, but I did, so you would understand where I am coming from.”

Nearly a whisper, she added, “Please be

patient with me. I still don’t know if I am

ready for a real relationship, but can we

simply see how it goes -” 1

“Okay, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for

everything,” Evan said, cutting her off. He returned to hugging Shantelle. It hurt

him to remember how he was the reason

for her to react so strongly against loving, but he would wait forever if he had to. “I

understand, and I will wait. I will keen

showing you how much I love you because -”

Evan wound up in tears, declaring, “My life felt empty without you, Shanty – all those years.

In response, Shantelle hugged him back. She did not realize how a tear had rolled down her cheek.

“Daddy?” As Shantelle and Evan were soothing their emotions, Lucas knocked on Shantelle’s door, asking, “Mommy, is Daddy with you?”

“Lucas, I’ll be out in a minute,” Evan

said.

“You better go,” Shantelle said while she wiped the wetness on her face.

When Evan pulled away, she helped clear

his face from the tears. Evan held her

hand and kissed her fingertips. Before

leaving, he gave her one last kiss. He could not help but smile because Shantelle kissed back.

Walking away, Evan said, “Goodnight. I love you.”

Shantelle smiled, replying, “Goodnight.”
