The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

Last night's intimate moment between Bryan and April had helped him forget his troubles. Truly, April was his comfort zone. She relieved him from those stressful thoughts and finally, he was able to sleep comfortably. 

He liked the feeling of having her by his side. She snuggled next to him and they slept in each other's arms until the sun rays coming from the window awakened Bryan.

He was lying sideways facing April with one hand supporting his head. He was watching April who was still sound asleep. He couldn't help but caress her face. His finger traced her features- eyebrows, nose, and lips.

That soft touch coming from Bryan awakened April. When she opened her eyes, Bryan's loving eyes and gentle smile greeted her sight.

"Good morning, sweety!" Bryan's deep and husky voice sounded very pleasant in her ears.

In her sleepy state, she replied while rubbing her eyes. "Good morning, cutie."

After hearing the word 'cutie' Bryan let out a soft chuckle before he gave her a peck on her cheek. Then he pulled her gently against him.

April jolted and became sober when their bodies touched. They were still not wearing anything underneath, only the blanket covering their n.a.k.e.d bodies.

As she remembered last night's passionate moment, April felt her cheeks burning instantly and her heart pounding rapidly in her chest. Bryan had awakened a desire in her that she never knew existed and never thought about before now.

Meanwhile, Bryan was also very engrossed in his own thought while he was staring intently at his beloved woman in his arms.

Seconds later, he voiced out what he was thinking as of this moment. He lifted her chin so that their eyes would meet before he spoke up.

"Every time I will wake up in the morning the first thing I want to see is you. Your presence always warms my heart. Just a mere touch from you can make my heartbeat into a frenzy."

"And… every time you look at me like that with your loving eyes and blushing face, I think my mind is going crazy from too much happiness. I think I was totally bewitched by you the moment I first saw you."

April felt touched by just listening to his sweet words. Bryan was telling her how much he loved her. She knew he was sincere in his every word. Between the two of them, it was always Bryan who was so vocal about his feelings.

Not breaking their eye contact, Bryan continued.

"I thought I had only a crush on you or it was just a normal physical attraction. But as time went by, I got to know you more. Then my feelings for you became deeper. I couldn't deny it anymore. I realized it was no longer a crush or attraction, but love."

"But I could feel that you only look at me as a friend. I was afraid that if I confess to you, our relationship will change. I tried my best to hide it. I even did a lot of annoying things just to catch your attention so we always ended up fighting." 

Bryan and April laughed as they recalled the past.

"Yeah, you were an eyesore to me in the past, do you know that? You irritated me so much." April admitted to him.

"Do I still look like that in your eyes?" Bryan pouted as he asked her that.

Her giggles bubbled up in the entire room. Bryan sighed helplessly while watching the woman in his arms laughing at him.

Seeing his ugly expression, April touched his face and said, "Don't worry. You are a cutie now in my eyes!"

With those simple words she uttered, Bryan's mood was lifted. His eyes were gleaming in joy.

"Do you know how devastated I was when I saw you confessed to Erick during Rose's birthday? My heart was filled with jealousy and at the same time my heart was hurting when I saw you cry and heartbroken because of Erick."

Rose was at a loss for words. She felt embarrassed every time she would remember that.

"You secretly fancied Erick while I was also loving you in secret. What a twisted fate, right? I lost my hope that night. I learned the reason why you didn't look at other men. You already had someone in your heart." There was a hint of sadness in his voice as he said those words.

"After all, how can I compete with Erick? He is more handsome, smart, and very capable. How can I replace him in your heart? I was angry because I felt really insecure because of my best friend." Bryan continued to pour his heart out.

"Hey, don't be sad. It's all in the past now. I am now your girlfriend. Why are you bringing up this topic? Don't tell me you are still jealous of Erick?" April said as she looked at him with disbelief.

"Erick is still a single man. What if you decide to break up with me and pursue him? You said before that you regretted not making the move first. What if you will also try to win his heart now?" Bryan was showing her his fears and worries.

April couldn't help but hit him in the head.

"SERIOUSLY? Are you really thinking that I'll do that? Sergeant Bryan Velasquez! If you won't stop talking like that then get up and get out of my bed, right now!" April pushed him away and sat up immediately because she was infuriated by him.

'This insecure dumb man… what a pain in the @ss?! Does he think so lowly of me? How could he?!' April was cursing him inwardly.

Because she was angry, she didn't notice that her action a while ago made her reveal her half-n.a.k.e.d body to him.

Bryan felt something hardened under his belly the moment April's n.a.k.e.d body came into his view. He gulped several times and bit his lower lip trying to fight the desire which was suddenly awakened. He felt hot.

When April sensed his unusual silence, she turned to Bryan only to see his burning gaze aiming at her n.a.k.e.d body. She immediately used her two hands to cover her b.r.e.a.s.ts.

"What are you looking at? Get out!" April yelled at him.

April's eyes widened when Bryan didn't say a word as he obediently got off the bed. She shot him a cold glare when she saw him bend down to pick up his clothes scattered on the floor. 

Bryan put his clothes on before he silently left her bedroom. April was both mad and flabbergasted by Bryan's action.

"[email protected] you Bryan! Don't you dare come back here or else I will kill you!" April shouted with an angry voice as she threw the pillows towards the door where Bryan disappeared from her sight.

She lay down again and covered her body from head to toe underneath the blanket. She was really mad at him. The tears welled up in her eyes. She was utterly disappointed when Bryan walked out just like that.

Just a while ago he was filling her with sweet words. How could he leave her just like that? 

After a few minutes, she heard footsteps coming in. Bryan returned to her bedroom.

"Why are you still here?? I said I will kill you if you come back!" April yelled again underneath the blanket.

But Bryan didn't speak up. He remained silent. April didn't know what he was doing. So she removed the blanket covering her head to see him.

Then April saw Bryan beside her bed kneeling before her. She frowned as she looked at him confusedly.

'What is he trying to do now? Does he think I will easily forgive him just because he kneels in front of me? No way!' April thought to herself.

She folded her arms over her chest. Her lips already formed a thin line and her eyes were cold as she stared at him.

"Get out! You can't appease me even if you kneel there for the whole day! I am totally disappointed with your action. You have no faith in me! I felt really insulted."

Bryan gazed up and looked straight in her eyes. With his soft voice, he started to explain himself to her.

"I am very sorry. I didn't mean to anger you nor insult you. All I wanted to say is… I am afraid to lose you."
