A Love Trap

When Ashley and Andrew exited Vineyard Restaurant, it was already dark. But there were bright neon lights and headlights that blazed in the streets. Ashley walked slowly, and Andrew followed her at a polite distance.

All of a sudden, a cool breeze blew.

Ashley was only wearing a dress, and the cold air sent shivers up and down her body. Instinctively, she crossed her hands over her chest and rubbed her arms to keep herself warm.

Suddenly, the smell of sweet tobacco wafted through her senses.

A coat had been draped over her shoulders.

Surprised and baffled, she quickly turned around and saw Andrew's handsome face very close to hers.

He had a well-sculpted and enchanting face, which easily made him stand out from a crowd.

He did not expect Ashley's sudden movement and was caught off guard. He froze, his hands still resting on Ashley's shoulders after placing his jacket over them. His long lashes fluttered, making his deep, inky eyes, glimmer against the neon lights. With a straight face, he clenched his jaw slightly.

At that moment, their faces were so close that they could feel each other's warm breath.

With that distance, Ashley saw that Andrew had such flawless skin that could put Adonis to shame.

As Ashley was lost in her thoughts, Andrew turned away and straightened himself up.

As a result, Ashley's lips gently touched his cheek.

The unexpected "kiss" brought her back to her senses. Eyes wide open in shock, her hands flew up to her mouth in disbelief.

'She looks like a little, panic-stricken hamster.

She looks so cute, ' Andrew thought inside, his heart beating wildly in his chest.

There were so many emotions going through him right now, but he did his best not to show it. Instead, he furrowed his brows and bit on his lower lip slightly, looking more like he was angry.
