I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband

As soon as her lips gently landed on his, the world stood still as if time no longer exist.

Davi’s brain instantly created a spark powerful enough to start a fire that instantly spread throughout her entire being. The unexpected magic caught her off guard. She didn’t expect that the moment their lips met, she will feel something completely outrageous. That moment, she felt as though a deadly meteor fell causing an earth-wide blackout, turning the world entirely dark but at the same time revealing the billion stars in the sky at their brightest ever.

His unbelievably warm lips knocked her entirely senseless, evaporating every thought in her head. Causing her supposed to be just a second peck on the lips ended up lasting for five seconds before she finally snapped and pulled back as her heart was fluttering wildly as ever.

As soon as she pulled back, their eyes meet deeply like never before.

Then, a long deafening silence went by and they just stared at each other with no words being spoken at all.

Until at last, Davi opened her mouth.

"We-welcome home... I-I-I’ll go prepare dinner," she said hastily with a wavering voice as her face turned entirely red before she walked away as fast as she could.

Watching her disappearing silhouette, the masked man remained motionless, dazed and speechless. His scary aura and unimaginable coldness were nowhere to be found as if it disappeared entirely into existence the moment she kissed him. As if the kiss just obliterated every sign of life he’s usually emitting. As if the kiss was a curse officially turning him into a real breathing stone.

"Oh my god! Th-that was the beating she’s talking about? Ah! My pure innocent eyes have been tainted. When did you two became this sweet?"

"Hey. Are you listening to me?" Zaki’s loud voice were akin to an annoyingly loud alarm clock waking him up in his deep sleep. Causing the stone finally moved and he stood as he started loosening his tie.

And without words, as if he didn’t hear a thing, the masked man walked towards the stairs. He went straight into his study room and as soon as he closed the door, he leaned into it for a long time before he walked towards the bathroom. He opened the shower without removing his shirt and he stood there quietly while the water flowed nonstop into his head.

Meanwhile, the girl in the kitchen was still struggling to calm herself. Even though she thought she prepared herself enough, she still felt as though she was entirely unprepared. She just didn’t expect it to felt that way. It was all beyond her expectation. She didn’t know that that single kiss could even shut down her entire consciousness against her will.

It was just a brief simple kiss, filled with inexperience and innocence, yet it caused an unstoppable wildfire inside her chest, a wildfire she felt that no one could ever extinguished. She felt as though that kiss which was originally a part of her mission will forever be ingrained within her, a memory that will never be forgotten for the rest of her life.
