Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1223

After an entire afternoon rolling in the sheets, Zorion finally fell asleep from the exhaustion. Rossie had wanted to leave, but Zorion held her tightly in his arms after she fell asleep so it was impossible for her to move.

Deanna stared at Jacky's hand that was grabbing her wrist. "It's getting dark. I think you should send me home now, or else my brother will get worried."

The one person that Deanna was most afraid of was Jacky.

However, Jacky pretended not to have heard her. He held her hand as they strolled around the streets. She had no idea what Jacky was up to, but she wanted to go home because it was where she felt safest.

"I called your brother. He knows where we are," Jacky said. He was walking in front as he held her hand. She followed behind, feeling slightly depressed. So what if he called? Why was he dragging her around?

She wanted nothing more than to go home. Furthermore, she was injured.

After walking for a while, Jacky suddenly felt that

Deanna's mood was a little off. He turned around to look at her. In a flash, Deanna said, "I want to go home. It's late, Zorion is probably worried about me."

"If your brother calls, I'll send you home right away. Otherwise, you're following me to Waverly Village for a while. I have something I need to do."

At the mention of Waverly Village, Deanna immediately felt terror coursing through her veins. All the memories of when she only had potatoes to satiate her hunger flashed through her mind in an instant. She dragged on her feet, refusing to walk any further. Jacky had no choice but to turn around and carried her on his back.

Deanna had no idea how she got on Jacky's back. She let out a shout having caught off guard. Upon hearing her shriek, the people walking along the streets turned to look at them.

Her cheeks were hot from the stares from others. If they caught sight of her face, she knew that she would be in trouble.

In a haste, she buried her face in Jacky's shoulders and kept quiet. "Will you really send me home if Zorion called?"

"Yes, if he calls, I promise to send you home. If he doesn't, then I'm taking you to Waverly Village with me. I have something to do tonight." Jacky was worried that Deanna missed what he was trying to tell her, so he repeated himself. With that, Deanna rested her head on his shoulders, deep in her thoughts. She was hoping that Zorion would call, however, she fell asleep inadvertently.

Unfortunately, Zorion's call never came and Deanna had to follow Jacky to Waverly Village.

Jacky carried Deanna into the car. Though she jolted awake while in the car, she soon fell back asleep. He held her in his arms as he stared mesmerizingly at Deanna. Then, he asked the driver to start the car.

When the car came to a stop after arriving at Waverly Village, he turned to look at Deanna, who was still sleeping soundly. Jacky figured she was having a good nap after a good meal.

As the lights outside the car flickered, Jacky's gaze was locked on Deanna, who was nestled safely in his arms. He raised his hand and touched her lips gently before lowering his head to kiss her. He had intended it to be a quick peck, but alas, he could not control himself.

The driver immediately got out of the car and stayed away. He wanted to avoid the awkwardness and from intruding upon Jacky's privacy.

Initially, Deanna did not seem to mind, but things got too ticklish for her to continue staying asleep.

Slowly, she stirred awake. The moment she woke up, she realized that Jacky's lips were on hers. She wanted to ask him something, but before she could part her lips, Jacky lowered his head and kissed her gingerly before gradually deepening the kiss.

Deanna was at a loss for what to do. She had no idea what was going on. The only thing she could feel was the emotions rising within her.
