The deep pitter-patter of the heavy rain reverberated through the window shutter of my apartment as I adjusted in my sleep, pulling the blanket tightly around my curled body. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IWufNnj0S
The need to make the necessary call to check on his well-being was increasing through each passing minute. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBaYG1fvHI
I glanced at my silent phone, time being past midnight and seeing that there were no missed calls from him, eventually I settled on going back to sleep. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNlyDHgQ28
Which proved to be a tougher task 'cause half of my stupid self was wondering if he got home safely while other half threw cactus at the first half for making such speculations of him reaching home at his first date, stubbornly making me imagine various interesting and steamy ways he might be enjoying his date with Kiara. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQXORLG1YJ
Hell, no! Heath wasn't like that. As far as I knew, I was fairly informed of all his barely touched relationships with women and none of them involved his own will but was rather, forced upon him by his very own father, who, if he ever got the chance to confront bravely, was going to get the piece of his mind someday. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1plFWigQx
But that was out of question, since Heath barely visited his home, let alone having good relations with his father. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUwQG7bqaT
As for his mother, he never mentioned anything about her, except for the day she was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and I still remember the day he asked me to leave him alone, after hearing of his mother's sickness, which I clearly protested against and he gave me his one reserved look of You-better-back-out-before-I-turn-into-a-wolf which did pretty much of a harm to my already bruised dignity. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8a0BcC7LW
I clutched the blanket around my fingers, wetting my lips in deep thought but after a minute of being held prison by my own evilness, I kicked the pillow in frustration and decided to give in to my conscience for once. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIIt6WMAxo
When he didn't respond after my second call, I knew he wasn't home, or he was already asleep after his strenuous date. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxeVu3mpdI
Or maybe he loved every inch of it. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HDaWnaY9d
Deciding it better to visit him in person, hurriedly I put on my jacket and shoes and marched to his apartment, after hauling taxi from across the rainy street corner.1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQBIlmYS8z
It was only after I reached his front door, was I able to realize I actually forgot to pick umbrella with me and after typing his house passcode with trembling fingers and shivering spine, I opened the door in slight rush, making the polished wooden door thud against the adjacent wall, leaving slight scratches. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfoT3FAtl5
Heath was in the midst of opening his shirt when he looked at me, his fingers loosing movement the minute he laid his eyes on my soaked form. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6bYjLujtO
"Hi." I croaked out, waving hesitantly at him. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNP01yH0lg
He raised his one eyebrow to examine my face before he let his eyes trail downward, and almost instantly, as if afraid of looking down, he plasterd his gaze again on my face, with a blank face. "What happened?" He asked.1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJUQxIfRek
"I..I..." I opened my mouth to answer him, but found it difficult to continue further. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfeiJ3wex4
He stopped unbuttoning his shirt, and went to his room, quietly, and emerged with a fresh towel.1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIiGpBYrXH
"Here."I felt soft material land on my wet forehead, my temple itching with the prolonged rainwater sticking to my face.1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6cTj4UTc1
Tentatively, I grabbed the towel, and rubbed it against my soaked face and over the wet clothes clinging to my body as a second skin. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18L3ygO5Xr
With the corner of his eyes, he glanced to make sure I was drying myself before moving aside the unnecessary things from his dining table aside and picked two clean coffee mugs from the kitchen cupboard. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLHJfzIvvA
"Why're you still standing there?" He asked me when I made no move to close the door and enter inside his apartment. "I thought you came to check on me." He said, with a hint of smile on his voice. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGKXhwCZlK
My eyes widened at his words and quickly I fumbled with my shoes and walked to his apartment, seating myself comfortably on his couch. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mpD6m7y3V
"Who said I came to check on you?" I muttered, grabbing blindly any book from his study table and clutched it in my fingers, proudly, ready to show him the proof of my claim. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2UWPijKBc
When he turned around, carrying two coffee mugs in his hand, I pretended to read something from the book in my hands, my mind totally fixed on making back up excuses if the one in my hand didn't work. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDXUECPfhV
"Why're you here then? Your dishevelled state of-"1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGw79oT4Nm
"I forgot a very important book while leaving your apartment." He looked at me with a questioning gaze and I practically shoved the book on his face, too eager to prove him wrong. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu17f5tCr4
He stared at the book, then at me and then again at the book, and slowly, a faint teasing smile spread threatened to spread on his face, before he put the coffee mugs on the table and crossed his hands across his chest, his muscles flexing against his tight shirt. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgGT64Sj5q
"What?" I started, irritated by his response. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApF64Xy8bg
"Are you sure it's the one you've been looking for.." His right lip curled upwards. "in the middle of the night" He regarded me with mild amusement, before looking outside his windows. "in this rainy storm." He traced the corner of my jawline with his scrutinizing eyes, finally trailing his gaze down my wet slightly heaving breasts and legs. "half-naked."1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WNJTB8Cb2
I blushed at his boldness. "Yes! It's the one-" Quickly, I turned the book around to read it's title so that I could clearly show him I was really looking for my book and almost immediately, I threw the book on farthest corner of the room, wiping my hands frantically on my wet top, as if just the title had managed to rob me of all my innocence, and engulfed me in its sultry world. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ507Bw0h5xs
Seventeen ways to have him inside you. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91LRibM8mP
-By Rixon Gold. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHjs3w0aql
God, I almost vomited the heart out of my mouth reading that title. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH2ODlgU0O
Who even cares how many ways he is inside you as long as you have him love you daily? 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExmd73ZD0c
I mean I wouldn't care if we made love daily, with the same angle everyday, I would just be content with him ins-1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQH2QpdrNv
I heard him cough beside me and, blushed at my own hidden dirtiness, avoiding his eyes. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZnjvHc3S8
"You sure keep some interesting specimens of literature in your study." I accused him, taking the coffee mug and leaning against his dining table. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtdFxc9fwb
I glanced at him when he didn't reply. "I suppose I should give the credit to Jennifer for gifting you such beautiful analogies of human reproduction."1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnSTkg4sSu
It was plausible enough that his sister, who had a face of an angel but soul of a devil, could commit such heinous act of spoiling her own younger brother. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovrJSZ1SM3
He shrugged, eyeing the book on the floor dangerously. "Not entirely. My mother owns more than half of it."1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsNADtx8rb
Like daughter. Like mother. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR3YUDk1Wn
But I liked Mrs Evercrest. She's most beautiful and graceful lady I ever had the honors to cross paths with. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCRYQ95Zcy
Though she was mostly busy with serving her family with utmost devotion, she would drop by his son's apartment almost at every weekend to fill his needs for nutrition and healthy munches.1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUPI65D8Go
Though Heath didn't seem to be grateful of his own mother's unconditional affection for him!1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOj2hecBC5
She was the sad mother, undoubtly genuine one, concerned for her son's well-being cause her daughter grew up too wild to her taste, and so, she made sure at almost every family gathering that her son hadn't caught on her daughter's germs by staying in the same room together. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ULa6do6zd
Which was kinda impossible as Heath wasted no time in kicking his sister's ass whenver she'd get too wild, bossy or sassy with him, though it earned him almost equal intensity of retaliation, four out of every five times, considering Miss Jennifer didn't take shit even from her own brother. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VfPf3pNIR
But keeping the usual animosity between siblings aside, Heath and Miss Jennifer were goals. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBXrj7B8jW
Too bad my mother didn't marry the man with a son. I'd have loved to play brother-sister with him. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTQ4T5XkAP
Taking one sip from my mug, I looked at Heath to see him in deep thought. "How did the date go?"1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBeIGcYQv3
As if broken out of his reverie, he blinked at me before answering. "Ah. Date." He paused, thinking something, as if remembering the night's events, before looking at me. "Yeah. It was good."1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfVPdOgkJS
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Good? Just good? What'd you do, Heath?"1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6ksayFCIC
He shrugged. "I just followed your instructions." He glanced brifely at me, before continuing. "You told me to smile and wave it off. I just did that."1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwEkVvDShR
"So...What'd you two do then?"1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLk1Ez2KUa
"We talked, ate, and enjoyed." He looked apologetic. "In silence." He completed, obviously feeling dejected and disappointed. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fK01q9DvT
I frowned. "Silence? You two ate in silence? How is this even possible? I mean I know you aren't very talkitive, hell sometimes, even I had to butt-heads with you to put words in your mouth!" He glared at me but I was already immune to all his scaring tactics. "I thought your taciturnity changed after all these years." I completed, feeling remorse for him. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSc8R2PfXq
He shook his head. "It wasn't entirely silent. I love silence but that one was a bit unnerving. Only Kiara talked, she asked me a lot of things and I think I had replied to all her doubts properly-"1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkMw4K1LcD
"Doubts?"1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeahkIiY7wn
"Yeah. She asked me if my favourite singer was Eminem. She just assumed it was him without even taking my choice in consideration-"1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cikxy7yUy
"You went on a date, Heath. Not on a courtroom to defend some raped victim." I put my empty cup down the sink and turned on the tap to wash it.1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokw6c4YIhe
1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6glwgJHp74
"It was Kiara's ways of asking your interests, likes and dislikes, hobbies, wants and whether you'd still like to go on a next date with her."1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgZcyJZ5C8
Health frowned deeply at my revealation. I understood his inexperience and undeftness in such subjects but still, he was a man so I thought he wouldn't need suggestions in those areas of love life.1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgZEmITamm
"Yes. I'd love to go on another date with her. She's pretty, cute and tolerable. I think she's the one, Scarlett." I paused hearing his words, my heart twisting painfully in my chest, throbbing harder but kept my lips pressed in a thin line. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlBW7U8Oy2
After a pause, Heath continued. "It'd have been better if I had been courageous enough to tell her that. It's frustrating how I messed it all up, Scarlett! I had been so close to wooing her tonight. She was right in front of me, smiling, talking, stealing glances. But I let my nervousness and inexperience take over me. I'm such a fool Scarlett. I'm such a-" He took one glance at me, then at himself, then at me again before he took one sip of his coffee and spoke "Never mind."1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HUqKwh3J5
I didn't respond. I thought it was better this way, if I would just ignore some things, some pretty unbearable confessions, some loud thudding of my heart, some raw desire of my body, some hard feelings of lo-1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllXxVJWSYA
I coughed, -we'd both be happy in our own spheres, I completed hurriedly in my mind. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR4ZeCfWQo
Placing the cleaned cup inside the cupboard, I took his own empty cup from his hands and washed it down the running water. "Leave them on the sink. Maid will take care of it." He said. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDXePjaIov
"I'm already done with it." Wiping my wet hands in the kitchen towel, I took my place, leaning on the dining table beside him. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8pE4Ax799
Soft blow of semi-wet breeze from the corner of the slightly open window reminded me I was still in my wet clothes and I shivered in cold, wrapping my hands around my shoulders to keep me warm. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm7D6mtyvJ
I heard Heath shuffle beside me before he placed soft dry towel on my still wet hair, applied pressure over the cloth and started to dry my hair. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81oFBzeBIt
"I can do it mys-" I tried to take the towel from his hands but he used his height to his advantage. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw2JHJr3md
"Keep still." He said, his voice hinting authority and I pressed my lips in thin line, nodding meekly. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wTwGGZVok
His hand gripped the back of my neck, keeping me in place while his fingers took their liberty in wiping the moisture off my face, gliding deliciously down my throat, settling over the throbbing pulse.1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOrMeb62ky
Blood rushed to my face as he fingered the strap of my top, while still drying the last of the moisture from my brown curls before he slid the elastic strap down a little, off my shoulder. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt5NqiMdYy
Suddenly, I felt exposed, and quickly, I looked down to see my black wet bra clearly visible and tightly sticking to my breasts, shaping them almost evenly, leaving ample amount of cleavage to the view. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PiGdMNJrW
I put my hands over his which were still holding the top down and tucked on it, gently, urgently. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXhR8q4G9X
"I can do it myself from here." I stated. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9xemEVtSb
As if he didn't hear my words, Heath put the drying towel over my bare shoulders and started to rub gently over the moisture clinging to my skin. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QIZHxswLR
The pads of his thumb and forefinger moved slowly and tortourously over my bare skin, making me bit my lips from making any sound. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb3Ayxt2G2
My knees felt weak from being under his slow and agonizing touch for long, as he removed the towel from my shoulder but didn't cover my bare skin thereafter. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMXYHoJnME
I could feel his eyes on my exposed shoulder, boring holes at it, and not longafter, I felt his knuckles grazing my chin, tilting it to the side, and exposing my throat. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtue4WTDiiP
His right hand caressed my wet hairs, and my eyes drooped low, threatning to shut in the delicious sensation. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh8hwM3XO4
Faint sound of cloth hitting the floor registered in the far corners of my mind before his left hand inclined to my face, and he turned it around to trace my cheek with his knuckles, his breathing slowing down, almost strained, as he pressed his hand further onto my skin, his big rough hands cupping my face now. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBMjkUzBq5
I leaned unconsciously to his touch, his fingers stroking my cheek, towel long forgotten on the floor while his other hand was still threaded into my hairs, his fingers running between the brown curls, as he traced the length of my hair, down my back and reaching the end of it, he left my hair hanging in length as he slowly, hesitantly, traced my back, making delicious pleasure ran down my spine and after minutes of slow torture, finally settled his hands around my waist, but still maintaining the respectable distance between us. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvdRqoVhyD
An unidentified noise escaped my lips as I felt his breath near my soaked chest, hot breath making me shiver in ironic coldness and I blushed in sheer embarrassment to see he was probably looking at my topless chest now. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarQGsRyHU0
Suddenly feeling modest, I jerked my knees down to his position and tried to grab the towel from his hands, making his hot open lips brush accidently against my cleavage. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn9qljUt28
Immediately closing my eyes in pleasure and embarrassment, as the wetness of his hot lips registered on my bare skin, I put my trembling fingers on his arms and clutched his sleeves, tightly, desperatly, roughly, feeling the buttons on his sleeves press bluntly against my palm. My knees felt jelly under my legs and I didn't know for how long I was going to be able to stand upright in his arms.1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXqCq9nCCC
Both of us froze at the unexpected contact, as he stilled in his place, in his motions, in his ministrations, his lips hovering above my heavily heaving chest, my heartbeat quickening wildly with each passing minute. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFvK86qWI9
With some difficulty, I managed to pull myself up to save myself some embarassment and left his sleeves almost immediately, turning away from him, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear in nervousness.1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWAAXmf1Qf
I heard him stood up from his position, standing there for minutes, before he walked towards me and I felt my heart going insane from anticipation. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y4tf1f6Tv
What would he say? 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv4aLNxnhe
That I pushed myself at him deliberately!?1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaS7IM3DW1
No, I didn't. It was just some bloody women reflex I had intentionally been born with!1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6S9J57ZdH
Would he understand? 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFPu03lbUb
I would surely die of shame if he didn't, oh god. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1te4iVlK3H
Dear all gods and their goddess in heaven, let me have safe heroic exit from this earth. I don't want to die such pathe-1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyOyxUJ68J
"Scarlett."1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCE5Oci78E
I didn't turn around. Didn't have the courage to. Not after he nearly ki-1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWDgNpiil7
"I'm sorry. I got distracted." He said, humbly, gently, his voice laced with hint of plead. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTtv84CfAx
"It's...It's okay. We bo..both.. got di..distracted. I am sure you're ti..tired after your long day and I sho..shouldn't have come running here for something trivial as da...dates, you know. You're big enough to handle yourself, hell you even handle much bigger things than these menial girls, dates, women, then I wonder why I bothered to run here for nothing-" I bit my lips hard, after realising I exposed myself. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOoms4UKqq
I. Exposed. Myself. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkf63G6DU9
I'm my biggest traitor. Liar. Cheater. Bitch. Slug. Frog. Python. Donke-1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdt0lEc9zF
"But I should've been more careful. I just had a date with your sister and I'm here, doing tha.." He stopped, muttering something incoherent in his breath before I felt him slide towel down my shoulders.1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAA8XO5fVC
Keeping my voice intact, I stared at the wall in front of me, so interestingly, so deeply, as if suddenly it had become the most interesting thing in the world. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sBJ8tPobn
Swallowing the lump in my throat, I curled my fingers in fists as I turned around to face him , keeping my expression as nonchalant as possible. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhALFqE3Qf
But I knew I couldn't do anything for the dark blush adorning my face and neck and I swear I saw the faint tiny of pink on his own cheeks, as he scratched his neck, avoiding my eyes. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy59p7ZcEEz
"Oh! It's okay, Heath! What do you take me for!? A shy, embarrassing woman? Not habitual of men's touch? I'm twenty-six for my sake!" I raised my voice to any extra inch, straining my larynx. "I'm fine! We're fine. Really! You're a man and I'm a woman, Heath. Things like this can happen between us! It's no surprise! Don't fret over the spread milk-" I stopped speaking as soon as he looked at me in shock.1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCXHBpSq3W
How could I speak of fucking milk after what just happened!?1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnK8MdLwml
How could I!?1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTZZs4QSWL
Yeah, I remember now. I'm retarded. From top of my brain to the bottom of my ass! 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQGf6pXDs8
I'm a creeping retard. Raging retard. Lowly retard. I'd rather just be a reptile! 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzDbGTUcOi
Coughing loudly in discomfort, Heath busied himself in finding something on the study table, still in his formal clothes, his shirt half-undone, his sleeves rolled upwards. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTakys11Wc
His collar was halfway open wide, his chiseled chest peeking from beneath his white shirt and I wondered why he chose to wear blue, even when he knew, from my very own reliable imported highly-advanced mouth, that blue wasn't even among Kiara's favourite colors. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iOiIzOMEU
Maybe because he didn't have time to change into anything comfortable and interesting for his date. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsJeSX7p59
I saw his muscles getting strained and flexed against the white fabric, veins on his throat constricting in line as if he'd been holding something this whole time and I realised he might really be tired after everything he endured in just a single day. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaQXkoiDLT
"You should dry-"1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1phCPryUj
"I think I should go-" We both started at the the same time, only to stop in mid to let the other continue their words. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUBkVKa1Q4
I blinked at him to continue his statement.1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtOuztPWeH
He blinked in return, for me to do the same. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsDmi61uAj
After I made no attempt in contiuing my statement, he deemed it necessary to speak first. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIRAo5c7hT
"You should dry yourself up properly, Scarlett. You might catch cold if you stay long this way. Besides, I've an important client meeting tomorrow afternoon and you'd also be busy managing guests there..." He trailed off, hoping I'd understand his intentions, without misunderstanding. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcZlr0OZFo
I nodded silently. "Okay. I understand. Good night then, I'll be going now!" I waved at him, approaching the door. I pulled out my wet shoes and pushed my feet into them, keeping a hand on the wall to keep my balance.1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5FlrzHHvV
"Where're you going?"1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv6XcqcIr2
"Home." I replied, not looking at him. "God, these shoes won't fit! Its-"1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqPH4lXZWR
"Stay."1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Yl9h5s5n6
Not paying much attention to his words, I looked up from my shoes to him, narrowing my eyes in confusion."Huh? What di-"1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP9UWDUJBb
"Stay the night, Hazel. It's late."1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcoHMh2QnF
I glanced at my watch. Too late actually. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOOrZCTSXa
It was past three AM but I didn't mind going to my apartment this late. I was habitual of sleeping late anyway, all credits to his unusual working habits and my duty to stick to his side, as his assistant. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjKjT0h33u
But never a single day did he actually ask me to stay the night. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9SBZFz9rV
Though he'd be kind enough to text me to enquire about my safety.1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeuPfnlXwD
And remembering that aspect of his personality, I was getting too nervous to actually stay the night. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oFqyxh3cL
With him. On his apartment. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XqYT0tAl6
"But how can-"1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbb20aYBJY
"Unless you want me to drop you to your apartment this late at night, then do what I'm saying."1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyjN6ufRC1
He would drop me to my apartment? Woah! I looked at him in utter astonishment. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY0bmgoX2O
Did he eat the elephant in his dinner?1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U7yVNxLLS
Or the lowly-criticized black-moustached bald Victorian Romeo? 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqPEKhU1wD
"It'd hardly take one minute to call a cab, Heath! Their services are getting really good and they take take the passengers with carefully devised navigation without traffics amd minor obstructions!" 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlxdUEIysa
And to prove my point, I booked a cab from a mobile phone and put the screen in front of his annoyed face. "See, it says here, after 3 minutes, a green cab's gonna be waiting for me and..." After some careful swiping and scrolling of the screen, ignoring his usual mutter of "women-and-their big-stubborn-mouths", I managed to find myself a solution. "See. Here it shows, with the cab, I'm gonna be home in 45 minutes. Just 45 minutes."1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68RpVhc9HA
I looked from phonescreen to see him radiating a dark aura before I went back to opening my gallery and pretending to do something in it. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqVBi6Y0md
I really didn't want to spend the night with him. It was awkward, frustrating, annoying, lonely, exciting, thrilling, sad, lovely, satisfying and agonizingly delicious to stay with him for more than ten hours straight in a single day, as it is. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WHdXWOZSG
I didn't want to strain my heart out further. It was already wounded, bruised and depressed from his-1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0RfVXMzDu
"Hey! That's my phone!" Heath grabbed the phone from me and threw it unceremeniously on his couch. 1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwByRzJi70N
"You're staying the night, that's it. No arguments."1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gbxcpJ8F1
"But my cab's-"1079Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZK9yX47cl
