Chapter 90 - Addicted
anwhile, Zane was driving his matte black Ferrari, he kept replaying April's words in his head as drove. He realised that he had been unfair to Aarna and had left her questioning herself and overthinking, he hadn't been fair to her or himself as he really did like her and want to spend more ti with her it was just that work and life had got in the way. He glanced over at her, she seed nervous, so he reached out and held her hand as he drove.
Zane tried to lighten the mood and hopefully make her laugh, "So how am I, Casper?"
Aarna bit her lip and wondered how much she should say, "Em… well you stopped ssaging and that term is called ghosting. I was upset and told April, she called you Casper and told to let the dead rest in peace. But here you are." Aarna laughed rembering April's animated face as she had told her to let him go and not resurrect the dead.
"Okay, I suppose that's fair. So what about you then April called you Aarna?" Zane questioned.
"Well we did et online and we don't really know each other that well. I had created the online gaming profile just for fun so I gave myself a different na." Aarna admitted.
"Seems that we both need to open up a bit more with each other. But we have ti, I'm glad I at least know your real na now. I had been calling you Nikki for so long now." Zane replied as he thought of where to take Aarna.
For their first date, he had just t her in a coffee shop so she would feel safe eting him, after all, they were strangers who t online. They had sat and chatted and drank coffee after coffee getting to know each other but now it seed they had barely scratched the surface. He was happy she had given him a second chance it showed her open heart and he decided he wouldn't let her down again.
"It was silly to give myself a different na but I enjoyed the anonymity of it at the ti, besides I stopped playing that ga after we et. I didn't expect to et a good friend like you online you ca out of nowhere." Aarna replied. Zane was driving but he held her hand, it made her heart flutter. But she told herself to hold back, she was concerned she would start to have hope again.
They drove for so ti before Zane pulled the car over and parked, he had brought her to one of his favourite places and he hoped she would like it. He let go of her hand and got out of the car.
Aarna glanced outside the car taking in the view it was spectacular. She then saw Zane walk around the front of the car and open her car door for her. Aarna got out of the car and was soon wrapped up in Zane's suit jacket, he then placed an arm around her waist. She felt the hope rise again in her heart but her head pushed the thought away.
Zane lead her across a wide open grass field and up a slight hill. They headed for a beautiful cherry blossom tree, the tree's pink flowers swayed and danced in the slight breeze. Just below where they stood was a small beach, the sand was white and the sea was calm as it lapped onto the sand. The waves were a deep blue agate in colour. The sun was low and was starting to set.
So pink petals from the cherry blossom tree fell and landed on Aarna's hair. Aarna was content watching the waves lapping onto the shore it was peaceful and it cald her soul. Being near the water always made her happy. This was sothing that she had once told Zane but she didn't know he had rembered.
"Do you like it? I would co here when I was free after my shift or if I had a day off. It is pretty isolated, I'm not sure many know of this place or I'm sure it would be popular. You know most of the ti when I would be chatting with you I would be here, I planned our future sitting in this very spot, watching the sa view you now see." Zane confessed.
Aarna glanced up at him as he spoke but he didn't look at her, she supposed he was maybe as nervous as she was. She rembered they were both new to relationships so it was hard speaking like this especially when most of their communication was online. Their online spark was instantaneous and they had indeed planned a future together and now here they were, she shared the view had had when those plans were made.
Zane turned to Aarna and brushed the pink petals from her long flowing hair. He had wanted company for many years, he had always stood in his own way and he had nearly ssed up again. Luckily fate intervened on their behalf.
Seeing him stare into her eyes she replied honestly, "The view is beautiful but the company is what makes it special. Let's co here together again."
Zane nodded agreeing to her request, "That's a date then."
Aarna couldn't wait any longer, she felt like he was teasing her. Deciding to take the initiative and be bold for once in her life she stood on her tiptoes and pulled Zane towards her by his belt and kissed him.
Zane imdiately took control, she had grabbed his belt and it fuelled his desire for her. She had no idea what she did to his body, they had been flirting for months online which had been a tortuous tease to him and now she was in front of him and he couldn't hold back. He pulled her waist closer and crushed their mouths together, he heard her slight moans as he held her tightly to his body. He smiled and continued to leave small loving kisses all over her neck and back to her lips again. He had got a taste and was now addicted.
