Chapter 40: Not in this lifetime

Aries's eyes crossed when she opened them, backing away only to be stilled by him. 

"Morning." She froze, watching his long lashes flutter open, wide-eyed. "Surprise?"

'Didn't he say he will be busy for the next three days or so?' that question instantly rose in her head, blinking to fix her crossed eyes.

"I missed you," he confessed under his breath, pulling her closer whilst closing his eyes. "Finished it early."

"..."

Her breathing slowed down, blinking blankly as she let her brain buffer. Aries could clearly remember Abel said he would attend to something very important. Almost like reassuring her.

So why was he here again? On the second thought, this also felt like deja vu. 

It was just like that time when he said he was going on a month trip. But then, he just appeared the next day!
