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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShyI1gAc9V
The need to make the necessary call to check on his well-being was increasing through each passing minute. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsVx6plmGu
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheU23yR1Cb
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY1bWHNJSE
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErMHw7n8t9
But that was out of question, since Heath barely visited his home, let alone having good relations with his father. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1wAPcb6r9
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBK03DGT8c
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FklD94SQn
When he didn't respond after my second call, I knew he wasn't home, or he was already asleep after his strenuous date. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyY6084M9f
Or maybe he loved every inch of it. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl0YvUFXsV
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.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoETDloA9B
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU8tkxZjS1
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhr6PxXp9C
"Hi." I croaked out, waving hesitantly at him. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLkIqcLDKW
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.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTbeUuDjyt
"I..I..." I opened my mouth to answer him, but found it difficult to continue further. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBch4mhwQA2
He stopped unbuttoning his shirt, and went to his room, quietly, and emerged with a fresh towel.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY4cuatLJ5
"Here."I felt soft material land on my wet forehead, my temple itching with the prolonged rainwater sticking to my face.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG2IX5Ui9c
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDszfbYycTf
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor1UzbEP1a
"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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBooBQVEFh
My eyes widened at his words and quickly I fumbled with my shoes and walked to his apartment, seating myself comfortably on his couch. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGykJgQsrl
"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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL8ozyAHUk
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd6MxFqoOi
"Why're you here then? Your dishevelled state of-"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhOzZWnGfj
"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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmIdPtouch
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuLFhOyYhW
"What?" I started, irritated by his response. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKQA9AMQxT
"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."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyEthp2psz
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4tuT2FW2y
Seventeen ways to have him inside you. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTTwwmOTD7
-By Rixon Gold. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW21zvJqus5
God, I almost vomited the heart out of my mouth reading that title. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndmUZRxmqv
Who even cares how many ways he is inside you as long as you have him love you daily? 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhzFcTkxKo
I mean I wouldn't care if we made love daily, with the same angle everyday, I would just be content with him ins-835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91T6fHf3PL
I heard him cough beside me and, blushed at my own hidden dirtiness, avoiding his eyes. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rCcgJsM1v
"You sure keep some interesting specimens of literature in your study." I accused him, taking the coffee mug and leaning against his dining table. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQRoRyqH6s
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."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPnJARjgEv
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiNk3Q5Hz5
He shrugged, eyeing the book on the floor dangerously. "Not entirely. My mother owns more than half of it."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxErXKySa1j
Like daughter. Like mother. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuHrJAvFWe
But I liked Mrs Evercrest. She's most beautiful and graceful lady I ever had the honors to cross paths with. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdZHbYZSUe
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.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkDd7XcJa4
Though Heath didn't seem to be grateful of his own mother's unconditional affection for him!835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbkHkQ5l39
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzC2cEkcCL
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrvT1ugJpS
But keeping the usual animosity between siblings aside, Heath and Miss Jennifer were goals. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAj0OjuZYE
Too bad my mother didn't marry the man with a son. I'd have loved to play brother-sister with him. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbka7kuAPW
Taking one sip from my mug, I looked at Heath to see him in deep thought. "How did the date go?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVSJLtS1Tb
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."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPLG1K0yeA
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Good? Just good? What'd you do, Heath?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm19fiIbz1W
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."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ02vINKCT
"So...What'd you two do then?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxiXO0ONr1
"We talked, ate, and enjoyed." He looked apologetic. "In silence." He completed, obviously feeling dejected and disappointed. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosVFWwL2To
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTc3dg1Njs
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-"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDDkmQWgdV
"Doubts?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aERBM2obg
"Yeah. She asked me if my favourite singer was Eminem. She just assumed it was him without even taking my choice in consideration-"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkhtRbdFm1
"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.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J57ZWVv7I
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFu4LSfg6A
"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."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZsWGyZIbB
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.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ148kOjOkBh
"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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47lQO6ejzE
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."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBea9jxlLUy
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-835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33z5dAWmE9
I coughed, -we'd both be happy in our own spheres, I completed hurriedly in my mind. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LVUj3qXnD
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Us1tHnvUd
"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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIvmHzQRBM
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jsLoyUZtV
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHD0EVEeWx
"I can do it mys-" I tried to take the towel from his hands but he used his height to his advantage. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2hXP7nKg1
"Keep still." He said, his voice hinting authority and I pressed my lips in thin line, nodding meekly. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4sPSIIFYF
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.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBrnOWmPOU
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ASNWu4t8z
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy8EtJ0ErB
I put my hands over his which were still holding the top down and tucked on it, gently, urgently. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAbn6Q9Mqu
"I can do it myself from here." I stated. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshc304HWwD
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVYbVb05jB
The pads of his thumb and forefinger moved slowly and tortourously over my bare skin, making me bit my lips from making any sound. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeVJzRcuCK
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMkFwLD3M2
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcJTS5fwXy
His right hand caressed my wet hairs, and my eyes drooped low, threatning to shut in the delicious sensation. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTYAcjEFxs
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCbCqhOuUc
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG8cnR5KnV
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES1OWnGFXt
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHDdcCYYon
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.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGhz1jWPZ4
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVAlB197iL
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.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPGQ0ngdp1
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoVKVy7bQZ
What would he say? 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwHZ2FVAnB
That I pushed myself at him deliberately!?835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJWmZ053iD
No, I didn't. It was just some bloody women reflex I had intentionally been born with!835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN8SstByNe
Would he understand? 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmpZuzrHtE
I would surely die of shame if he didn't, oh god. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FbFzbcYpu
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-835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgOH7MCCaW

I didn't turn around. Didn't have the courage to. Not after he nearly ki-835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZNkWYEVms
"I'm sorry. I got distracted." He said, humbly, gently, his voice laced with hint of plead. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuelnsuP2TD
"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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UtMExvZLz
I. Exposed. Myself. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWHinzFEj0
I'm my biggest traitor. Liar. Cheater. Bitch. Slug. Frog. Python. Donke-835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N1H18sXH4
"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.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGHAPdRQEG
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ81t0LmQm
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoGd6ZRNgw
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Nte0LNvG
"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.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBdHFKjzHR
How could I speak of fucking milk after what just happened!?835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eqRs5HP0N
How could I!?835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGt54SBc4U
Yeah, I remember now. I'm retarded. From top of my brain to the bottom of my ass! 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnZGkfuks8
I'm a creeping retard. Raging retard. Lowly retard. I'd rather just be a reptile! 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtGnY84pt1
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRNXcd32X9
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJQVI589fR
Maybe because he didn't have time to change into anything comfortable and interesting for his date. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYfLSzVuOy
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1dAs72RR2
"You should dry-"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4qPo1jFVl
"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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePRUCgoQqG
I blinked at him to continue his statement.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSskPX4ICY
He blinked in return, for me to do the same. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSnGrXl8GI
After I made no attempt in contiuing my statement, he deemed it necessary to speak first. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnpM2Yv6ny
"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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJef4aJIkT
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.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOhrfTFHo5
"Where're you going?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEmE4DjrAj
"Home." I replied, not looking at him. "God, these shoes won't fit! Its-"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbdhA8nrYh
"Stay."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zZsJK87E0
Not paying much attention to his words, I looked up from my shoes to him, narrowing my eyes in confusion."Huh? What di-"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi2F6u7PGA
"Stay the night, Hazel. It's late."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERjWubV0FR
I glanced at my watch. Too late actually. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFhkdPiy4s
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJNsR9h680
But never a single day did he actually ask me to stay the night. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f0v7Iphps
Though he'd be kind enough to text me to enquire about my safety.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKzcniGCkY
And remembering that aspect of his personality, I was getting too nervous to actually stay the night. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtYAI2z9fA
With him. On his apartment. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9CKgrUBJs
"But how can-"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXJ7JUGw7R
"Unless you want me to drop you to your apartment this late at night, then do what I'm saying."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd7vdQFF5u
He would drop me to my apartment? Woah! I looked at him in utter astonishment. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lww9X31vW
Did he eat the elephant in his dinner?835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXCUSA2Svl
Or the lowly-criticized black-moustached bald Victorian Romeo? 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGLzCc2J1Y
"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!" 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITnrtOQ1sS
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."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvAPhSMImz
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCwwagFhgr
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. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7ggcHlvvp
I didn't want to strain my heart out further. It was already wounded, bruised and depressed from his-835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE6WiQCGQy
"Hey! That's my phone!" Heath grabbed the phone from me and threw it unceremeniously on his couch. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmAXbECDE6
"You're staying the night, that's it. No arguments."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaJKuZF0Gz
"But my cab's-"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R6UiOIIKA
"Cancel it before it starts barking in front of my apartment."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpiIL8qx0N
"But-"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg5Er0UnsZ
"Don't make me repeat myself, Scarlett."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYit0CUohCk
