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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D613YvKJY
The need to make the necessary call to check on his well-being was increasing through each passing minute. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWyenlnh3U
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWFixV98JQ
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkrQmlCusL
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4l50DbYxr
But that was out of question, since Heath barely visited his home, let alone having good relations with his father. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I480MAKdK
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMYEw84iBQ
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUPNajUXB2
When he didn't respond after my second call, I knew he wasn't home, or he was already asleep after his strenuous date. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7AGC6mHtf
Or maybe he loved every inch of it. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7pWML2Unr
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.879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbXTeewidV
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8uoXZUTBp
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzRdxejuFD
"Hi." I croaked out, waving hesitantly at him. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfTN0nJJh2
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.879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6T9Hzgis8
"I..I..." I opened my mouth to answer him, but found it difficult to continue further. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ5KQ099kI
He stopped unbuttoning his shirt, and went to his room, quietly, and emerged with a fresh towel.879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3umHf4Batf
"Here."I felt soft material land on my wet forehead, my temple itching with the prolonged rainwater sticking to my face.879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJvybo7Nuc
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyNYkWO8m5
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47iaO4GK25
"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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8lnGmlSkD
My eyes widened at his words and quickly I fumbled with my shoes and walked to his apartment, seating myself comfortably on his couch. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTDrpH8NYA
"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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFxFuyKU7g
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFRoOiNmMm
"Why're you here then? Your dishevelled state of-"879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv5eKOHWmo
"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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0J11iAOZH
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqjeC0k44s
"What?" I started, irritated by his response. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QC8S28yLh
"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."879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QQVRqcPSn
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6g4SetB1f
Seventeen ways to have him inside you. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01r8CjiCcY
-By Rixon Gold. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGw0GF64cR
God, I almost vomited the heart out of my mouth reading that title. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsajnuwk5i9
Who even cares how many ways he is inside you as long as you have him love you daily? 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtblqNMLbH3
I mean I wouldn't care if we made love daily, with the same angle everyday, I would just be content with him ins-879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDswR8LJT7e
I heard him cough beside me and, blushed at my own hidden dirtiness, avoiding his eyes. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yJNAGdlc4
"You sure keep some interesting specimens of literature in your study." I accused him, taking the coffee mug and leaning against his dining table. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c5kpkMILf
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."879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmgXwoDhg0
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JUsVGML7W
He shrugged, eyeing the book on the floor dangerously. "Not entirely. My mother owns more than half of it."879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBEPnKIj2u
Like daughter. Like mother. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKfGhQtYUp
But I liked Mrs Evercrest. She's most beautiful and graceful lady I ever had the honors to cross paths with. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWcChgVzB2
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.879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszMmEixUqi
Though Heath didn't seem to be grateful of his own mother's unconditional affection for him!879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM17ujEKdF
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVOCHJdzGS
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNds6RXULz
But keeping the usual animosity between siblings aside, Heath and Miss Jennifer were goals. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssRbIYUjfW
Too bad my mother didn't marry the man with a son. I'd have loved to play brother-sister with him. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVu01vffvr
Taking one sip from my mug, I looked at Heath to see him in deep thought. "How did the date go?"879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd0gTxNtkd
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."879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAVdJ7Wl9b
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Good? Just good? What'd you do, Heath?"879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTZvYa57oF
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."879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ytkbJ5DLh
"So...What'd you two do then?"879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yuBDyY8Cc
"We talked, ate, and enjoyed." He looked apologetic. "In silence." He completed, obviously feeling dejected and disappointed. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI1ld1WOkD
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jeNxLMezu
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-"879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjejeW1XiY3
"Doubts?"879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs9vi0XuaO
"Yeah. She asked me if my favourite singer was Eminem. She just assumed it was him without even taking my choice in consideration-"879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUWh4DWkkB
"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.879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEsYe3lqp3
879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm5EofD4cJ
"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."879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQRSLA3u63
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.879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xkzc2eKMg
"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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFUTjkXtw8
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."879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGxyHBxALx
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-879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmJ2V4vmJl
I coughed, -we'd both be happy in our own spheres, I completed hurriedly in my mind. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1iP0x84ly
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQrjCfFuHy
"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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7em4tGgfjT
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXQqbql3OV
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcRh94Tv51
"I can do it mys-" I tried to take the towel from his hands but he used his height to his advantage. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4phGAc1biE
"Keep still." He said, his voice hinting authority and I pressed my lips in thin line, nodding meekly. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6oEqEDDVF
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.879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC5aUtaU0X
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzUidjghe9
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp1nkNX4fl
I put my hands over his which were still holding the top down and tucked on it, gently, urgently. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRelE7Uy9k3
"I can do it myself from here." I stated. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyP6jcEyYZ
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OujQ3oNfM
The pads of his thumb and forefinger moved slowly and tortourously over my bare skin, making me bit my lips from making any sound. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeYunUmpyo
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcur3DfP95
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OYKACZEu0
His right hand caressed my wet hairs, and my eyes drooped low, threatning to shut in the delicious sensation. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS3GrpKFD6
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVYYki5vj9
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzKdczC36b
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSEOE3zwmI
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRhEw8gIpT
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.879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ty6Sm9jD4
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEahVMuaNZt
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.879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G4dxPOScD
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JouYGjTgm
What would he say? 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUN04aqSWc
That I pushed myself at him deliberately!?879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9pPy4YpXe
No, I didn't. It was just some bloody women reflex I had intentionally been born with!879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDoPGeZYcw
Would he understand? 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPytE4vSbB
I would surely die of shame if he didn't, oh god. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKc1k2iGyr
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-879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGJefsvmy5
"Scarlett."879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLebxwsixP
I didn't turn around. Didn't have the courage to. Not after he nearly ki-879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMZuIpgYGF
"I'm sorry. I got distracted." He said, humbly, gently, his voice laced with hint of plead. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkyJr9Z3hf
"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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGAmnTbMbt
I. Exposed. Myself. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT876ggHG4
I'm my biggest traitor. Liar. Cheater. Bitch. Slug. Frog. Python. Donke-879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O6dHriTAC
"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.879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeg7PJvYFl
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXCaRKihM2
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R9u6FU3ZK
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlArkuXafv
"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.879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5tEWNV5Xb
How could I speak of fucking milk after what just happened!?879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTLpd21rOl
How could I!?879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqBrFnSqyr
Yeah, I remember now. I'm retarded. From top of my brain to the bottom of my ass! 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1vOHzUzZZ
I'm a creeping retard. Raging retard. Lowly retard. I'd rather just be a reptile! 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTFX1H81xx
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvms1vSjZfC
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfvVb16il5
Maybe because he didn't have time to change into anything comfortable and interesting for his date. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5PvxAnzZp
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dT0ms2mKd
"You should dry-"879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujJXGscA8r
"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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1K4pvriJq
I blinked at him to continue his statement.879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHFrO8b6DT
He blinked in return, for me to do the same. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86lzlISNEy
After I made no attempt in contiuing my statement, he deemed it necessary to speak first. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLz7aCN0fO
"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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIP9SRRWoA
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.879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKay57DsxaV
"Where're you going?"879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7K5V1NmAc
"Home." I replied, not looking at him. "God, these shoes won't fit! Its-"879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljU6At4oPK
"Stay."879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxbDb5QTjo
Not paying much attention to his words, I looked up from my shoes to him, narrowing my eyes in confusion."Huh? What di-"879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KdAvQtROF
"Stay the night, Hazel. It's late."879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraGODWQ2HA
I glanced at my watch. Too late actually. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEVoxtfSo6
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8U4AaYQUN
But never a single day did he actually ask me to stay the night. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrCp5WR56t
Though he'd be kind enough to text me to enquire about my safety.879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqqHir2MiV
And remembering that aspect of his personality, I was getting too nervous to actually stay the night. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvdpoUQAEu
With him. On his apartment. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qhb156Dvj
"But how can-"879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGejARjme4
"Unless you want me to drop you to your apartment this late at night, then do what I'm saying."879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ916Gjd4w6X
He would drop me to my apartment? Woah! I looked at him in utter astonishment. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFJAwXTkzz
Did he eat the elephant in his dinner?879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgJ1UaWYF5
Or the lowly-criticized black-moustached bald Victorian Romeo? 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg31z3jLP4E
"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!" 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR6wbuaHQp
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."879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08PYBDjwMi
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7gVtzjElR
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. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuDfmWXduQ
I didn't want to strain my heart out further. It was already wounded, bruised and depressed from his-879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlN6HJDPQ0
"Hey! That's my phone!" Heath grabbed the phone from me and threw it unceremeniously on his couch. 879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjdKkLBiUS
"You're staying the night, that's it. No arguments."879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsejWlt0K0
"But my cab's-"879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIudbBOc7uN
"Cancel it before it starts barking in front of my apartment."879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSP5nmfLKF
"But-"879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hWkNxWyCC
"Don't make me repeat myself, Scarlett."879Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHB35GvXfT
