22:30 pm

They left the restaurant deciding to have coffee somewhere else, he promised to show her the perfect spot in all Seoul. So they got in the car again, feeling more relaxed and comfortable with each other’s presence. If there wasn’t one thing that Seoul was missing was a coffee shop. They were everywhere and even in the most unexpected of places like flower shops. So, to find only one to be perfect was a feat she was curious about. And he did not disappoint. Sitting down at the table, being served a hot, wonderfully perfumed cup of coffee and looking around to find the devastatingly beautiful view of the city of Seoul from above and at night time, most certainly made that place special and perfect. The spots of red, yellow, white and green lights made the city look like the sky at night. At some point, the conversation turned into her plans for the near future. Would she stay, would she go back home after the school year was over? Not even Ana knew the answer to that question. There was not much to make her go back to Portugal but there wasn’t much holding her there so, she didn’t really have the answer.

00:45 am

The ride back home was quiet with Ana trying to decide if she should or not ask if he wanted to stay over. She wanted him to stay the night and with all the craziness out of the way, she was going to make sure of that, even if she had to smash another phone, there wasn’t a reason not to. On the other hand, she just did not know how to say it without it sounding way too forward. She was not sure how he would take it, the all cultural barrier thing now getting in the way. Maybe she was overthinking it, probably she was overthinking it. Lost in her own mind, Ana was suddenly surprised to find out she was already home. The silence felt heavy as they looked at each other fighting to find words.

“Don’t think just spit it out!” she kept saying to herself, at some point she did just that.

“Do you want to come up?”

Her voice sounded foreign to her like it was said by someone else. Why the heck was she so nervous? It was not the first time she asked a guy if he wanted to stay over. He seemed to take a few seconds considering it and then without a word he gave her a smile and turned to open his door. As he got around the car he did not take his eyes off her, making her heart going on overdrive. Hae-Joon opened the door on her side her reached out his hand waiting for her to grab it. That gentleman’s side of him was really sexy and also a bit disconcerting, gave her butterflies. Ana took his hand to get out of the car and did not let go until they got to her apartment. His hand was warm, strong and quite bigger than hers. As they went up in the elevator, she relished the sight of her tiny hand almost disappearing in his. She opened the door feeling a slight tremble of excitement.

Her apartment was even smaller than the one before and it took them a mere 3 steps to be in the middle of the living room/kitchen. Feeling more nervous by the second, suddenly not knowing what to do next, she tried to relieve the tension in the air.

“Do you want anything to drink?”

They were standing face to face, a couple of steps away.

“아니요 (no).” He whispered, stretching out a hand for her to grab.

And she did. Each step making her heart skip a beat, her lips parting in an effort to breathe. His eyes on hers coming closer and closer, becoming darker and brighter. Their fingers intertwining as he cupped her neck with his other hand, pulling her closer, lowering his head slowly, making her shiver with anticipation. She raised her head to meet his faster, grabbing his waist. There was a brief millisecond when their lips were almost touching but not, like in a field of repelling energy between two magnets with the same pole. Their eyes closing while the lips finally touched in a soft kiss, closing on each other, tasting each other for the first time.

A heat taking over her body, creating an unbearable need to touch him, to get closer. Their bodies pressing against one another leaving the sweetness aside, being swept away by desire, not even capable of thought. Their tongues touched and she held onto his hair with both hands wanting him even closer as he pressed her against him with both hands on her back. One hand on her hair pulling her head back and then trailing a path with his lips and his tongue down her throat. A moan escaped from her mouth and he took her lips again picking her off the floor, wrapping her legs on his waist, grabbing her buttocks as he blindly found the bed.

Laid on her back beneath him, Ana stripped him off his shirt while he played with her ears making her giggle. Their pace slowed as she passed her hands through his strong, hot back muscles and he stripped her off her dress at a painfully slow pace. His mouth now on her nipple while his hand slowly climbed up her leg, pulling the fabric up. Her hands were now pulling at the bed sheets, her body arching towards his.

In a swift strong move, she pushed on his upper body and overturned him. Grabbing his wrists above his head she tasted his neck, feeling his rushed heartbeat beneath the tip of her tongue as she traveled lower down. His parted lips letting out a heavy breathing sound. Her nails scratched softly the inner side of his arms making his skin crawl, she untied his pants teasing the limit of his boxers with her fingers while playing around his torso with her teeth, enjoying the sounds she was pulling out of his lips.

Suddenly all their clothes were on the floor and he had taken over the game. Parting her legs and kissing her mouth at the same time, he took her, whispering against her lips in Korean words she could not understand.
