She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 164

Chapter 164 Would You Like To Reconsider It

Other than Freya, no one had ever stirred any trace of desire in Kristian-not even Ashley in the past.

With that thought quietly swirling in his mind, he took out his phone and began searching the web.

But the moment he laid eyes on the responses, his expression clouded over like a sky before a storm.

"Is this some kind of wild daydream? Only feeling attracted to one person? Ridiculous!"

"Sounds like impotence to me."

"Seriously, stop justifying it. Who on earth goes through life without a hint of desire?"

"It might actually be love. Some men are naturally disinterested in physical intimacy-until they meet the one. Then it's not lust, but something deeper. Perfectly normal."

His gaze lingered a moment longer on that final comment, as if the words had struck a chord.

Alan leaned over, trying to sneak a look, but before he could make out anything, Kristian had already locked

the screen.

"If all those questions I asked earlier didn't clear things up, there's still one last test," Alan offered, his determination unwavering. He was on a mission-to pair up this brooding man with Freya.

Kristian, ever the picture of calm, sat upright like a teacher listening to a student's drunken ramblings. "And what's that?"

"When you like someone, you want to be near them," Alan explained with a rare note of sincerity, despite the alcohol clouding his head. "You crave their voice, their presence. You want to be part of their every moment, their every day. That's how you know. Of course... minus the obsessive types."

Those words found their way into Kristian's heart like pebbles dropped into still water.

He did want to be near Freya-to speak with her, to share his time. More than anything, he couldn't bear the thought of being left out of her world entirely.

The very idea of vanishing from her life filled him with a sense of quiet despair.

"So... if that's how I feel, does that mean I love her?" he asked, the question almost rhetorical.

"Obviously!" Alan declared-then promptly slumped onto Kristian's shoulder, sound asleep.
