The Alchemists

Chapter 603 - Is This Love?

After the kiss, they stared at each other for a few moments. London put down his paper cup on the grass, followed by L. Accidentally, their hands touched when the two cups were placed together.

When L's hand touched his hand, London's c.h.e.s.t was palpitating because when their skin touched, he could feel how L's skin was smoother than silk, and for a split second he was enchanted.

The man did not let go of his hand, leaving it on the grass like that. L also did not seem to move her hand away. For almost one whole minute, they both sat in that position, while trying to hold back their c.h.e.s.ts from pounding hard.

Finally, sensing her approval, London leaned forward to kiss L. The girl involuntarily closed her eyes. Waiting for the touch of London's lips on her lips.

They kissed again for a long time.

As their lips touched, images of the incident from one and a half months ago suddenly filled his mind. They became more vivid as he remembered how their bodies became one when they made love, how her smooth skin touched his, how her lips tasted so sweet, and how her plump b.r.e.a.s.ts felt so soft...

He now even remembered the scent of her hair back then. It was exactly like her scent today, which soon engulfed his nostrils and filled him with d.e.s.i.r.e. His hands slowly moved up and stroked her hair lovingly.

Alright ... he finally admitted to himself the truth. There is no more denying his feelings.

It seemed Jan was right. London really liked this girl

Because L welcomed his kisses and did not resist his hand c.a.r.e.s.sing her hair, London became even bolder. His hands slowly descended to her shoulders, then to her back, and finally hugged her waist.

L's body was soft like a marshmallow and she had a feminine figure with a tiny waist. London found her to be very alluring. If they were not in a public place, he might already carry her to somewhere quiet to fondle her and make love with her again. The temptation was very strong.

Fortunately, his common sense was still working, and he could restrain himself. London didn't want L's reputation to get tarnished if they were caught by netizens or journalists who recognized who she was.

Finally, with a heavy heart, after a while, he ended the kiss and released his arms from her waist.

"I ... like you very much," London said softly, staring intensely at L. "If the only way to get to your heart is by becoming a rich person, then I will become rich so I could be with you. Please wait for me. When you become famous, I will become rich enough for you."

"Okay."

London had decided. He will disclose his identity to L, once the girl managed to fulfill her dream to become a famous singer.

They sat side by side on by the river without speaking anymore until it got dark.

"Can I take you home?" asked London as they then packed their bags and prepared to go home. L nodded.

They took a taxi to L's apartment and before the girl entered the building, London hurriedly asked for her number.

"I can contact you, right?" asked London. "I already have your phone number, but I want to ask permission to contact you before I just randomly call ..."

"You can contact me," L replied with a smile.

"Thank you. I'm going to Singapore for a week, taking my niece and nephew to meet their parents. I'll call you from there."

"I didn't know you had a niece and nephew," L commented.

"Ah, I do. They are twins. One day I will bring them to meet you. You will like them."

"Ah, okay. I like kids," L said with a smile. "I'd love to meet them."

Don't worry, L. If you like kids, we will have cute kids after we get married, London thought when he heard L's words. A smile was on his lips.

At this point, London no longer denied his feelings. He really liked L, and slowly he started to think about how his life would be if he spent it with that girl.

"Aren't you leaving? What's up with that stupid grin on your face? I have to go upstairs," L waved her hand in front of London's face who was already daydreaming about marrying L and having kids with her.

"Eh ... that's right, I have to go." London awkwardly stepped back. L went into her apartment building and closed the door behind her.

London walked a block to the left and then stopped. Not long after, the BMW car driven by Dave stopped and Marc came out to open the passenger door for his boss.

London got in the car and continued to daydream throughout the trip.

His interaction with L had improved so much, even before they had kissed and acted like lovers by the river today. All the while, L still not knowing that London was a man from a super-rich family.

That means, actually L had started to change and wanted to give him a chance. Ah ... he can't wait to tell about L to his sister when they meet later in Singapore.

London knew, although the two children now lived with Nicolae, Alaric's twin brothers still didn't feel comfortable leaving for Singapore to take Altair and Vega himself. Nicolae still couldn't face Aleksis casually because he had loved the girl for almost ten years and a few months ago they almost got married. Especially now that Aleksis was currently pregnant with her third child with Alaric, it would become more awkward for them to see each other.

His must still be very sad to see the girl he loved was now with another man and was expecting another child together. Even though the other man was actually his own brother, whom he loved dearly. It still hurt.

Inwardly London felt very grateful he and Rune did not meet and fell in love with the same girl.

Ah, L was only 19 years old while Rune was 25 years old, and he himself was 27 years old. Rune was now at the age that he could also fall in love, like what London was experiencing now. If by chance, Rune also met with L, there is a possibility that they would fall in love with each other too.

No way! He couldn't let Rune meet L at all. The girl was too beautiful, and anyone who saw her could easily fall in love with her. And London imagined it would be so easy to get her attention if Rune claimed to be a Schneider.

The thoughts scared him so much. So, he took out his phone and contacted Rune.

"Hey, where are you?"

"I'm still at Uncle Aldebar's home. I am working on the baby translator machine for Aleksis. Why?"

"Don't go to Berlin over the next week."

"Why?'

"Because I won't be in Berlin," answered London.

"Why? How strange."

"Just don't go to Berlin whenever I'm not there. Period."

He then hung up. He did not want Rune to come to Berlin and accidentally met L and fell in love with her. Anyway, what happened between Alaric and Nicolae should never happen to him and Rune!

London massaged his temple. He did not understand why he suddenly became this paranoid, even to the point of not allowing his brother to go to Berlin. He was worried that Rune would meet L and snatch the girl from him.

Gosh ... how strange.

Was this love?

He could only shake his head. He had never experienced this before.

Who can he talk to about this? His sister, Aleksis? His brother, Terry?

Should he talk to Nicolae?

Crazy! If he did that, it would be like rubbing salt over the poor guy's wound. Nicolae had suffered enough, London thought.

Then, maybe he could talk to his father, Caspar Schneider?

Bahahahaha ... no way! He couldn't let his father know. Caspar would give him a long lecture about love.

Then, who could he talk to about love?
