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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu3aFY6d3l
The need to make the necessary call to check on his well-being was increasing through each passing minute. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cj0yu2XzE
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fg9qZhd3l
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BNttf7BXw
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrA6YOmBjz
But that was out of question, since Heath barely visited his home, let alone having good relations with his father. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL5PanJGgi
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4hWqruOXM
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZGCUiYlXS
When he didn't respond after my second call, I knew he wasn't home, or he was already asleep after his strenuous date. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMZDiRKzvu
Or maybe he loved every inch of it. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHipw5j1NZF
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.998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC36RYF47td
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQqiiP47HI
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4zvxroGTD
"Hi." I croaked out, waving hesitantly at him. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhEtQNWEGJ
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.998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofh7JGfe0s
"I..I..." I opened my mouth to answer him, but found it difficult to continue further. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9cr3wYShS
He stopped unbuttoning his shirt, and went to his room, quietly, and emerged with a fresh towel.998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFNF0eKTcE
"Here."I felt soft material land on my wet forehead, my temple itching with the prolonged rainwater sticking to my face.998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlhRoOGl9U
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFqHWtdUVQ
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfFfzJaTXm
"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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEW4xplRwJ
My eyes widened at his words and quickly I fumbled with my shoes and walked to his apartment, seating myself comfortably on his couch. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ihbiiyQnC
"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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcCd8GGDEt
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYjmPYsd4W
"Why're you here then? Your dishevelled state of-"998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfjyAI2lsj
"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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeYAxaQMOS
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpVjm0LQ44
"What?" I started, irritated by his response. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7ZdEHivQC
"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."998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx4dtL5OOd
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsThlpGVatz
Seventeen ways to have him inside you. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedGhd1vvjb
-By Rixon Gold. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFfgUar3OT
God, I almost vomited the heart out of my mouth reading that title. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadV6EYqm1W
Who even cares how many ways he is inside you as long as you have him love you daily? 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUZZMUG6aw
I mean I wouldn't care if we made love daily, with the same angle everyday, I would just be content with him ins-998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tHrO0KFtB
I heard him cough beside me and, blushed at my own hidden dirtiness, avoiding his eyes. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfAaWHpkg6
"You sure keep some interesting specimens of literature in your study." I accused him, taking the coffee mug and leaning against his dining table. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kBiLYnEGx
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."998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL31LuFAwa
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYocOmRbK6I
He shrugged, eyeing the book on the floor dangerously. "Not entirely. My mother owns more than half of it."998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DGqE7UZag
Like daughter. Like mother. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFea2yCX18
But I liked Mrs Evercrest. She's most beautiful and graceful lady I ever had the honors to cross paths with. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMTfeTIQ40
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.998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIpSy8ssND
Though Heath didn't seem to be grateful of his own mother's unconditional affection for him!998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR4HbH2egy
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnFM7D66Lx
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLrtWLClCA
But keeping the usual animosity between siblings aside, Heath and Miss Jennifer were goals. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsL9DWB6OE
Too bad my mother didn't marry the man with a son. I'd have loved to play brother-sister with him. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTN3YcKBKt
Taking one sip from my mug, I looked at Heath to see him in deep thought. "How did the date go?"998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LHDvh5pGF
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."998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVzIxREMlj
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Good? Just good? What'd you do, Heath?"998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbJjQ4Nfto
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."998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ1QlrXWIc
"So...What'd you two do then?"998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsl2zMfMqa
"We talked, ate, and enjoyed." He looked apologetic. "In silence." He completed, obviously feeling dejected and disappointed. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGAcuEtsR3
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDjaVkiFQx
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-"998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTTyGD7kQ9
"Doubts?"998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX112JUCA0
"Yeah. She asked me if my favourite singer was Eminem. She just assumed it was him without even taking my choice in consideration-"998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXol3x5fPAL
"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.998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1e9xTxpRr
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZnWw7pbSC
"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."998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa9HPNEYXO
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.998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A8zJ3ei4y
"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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOmWH6PQgw
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."998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8t6oDbDfo
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-998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLOzZNJIMS
I coughed, -we'd both be happy in our own spheres, I completed hurriedly in my mind. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY7lPh6SgJ
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHTNcL4HkZ
"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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jvw5Gn0q3
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gqi7xXgyq
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNZIFYaEtS
"I can do it mys-" I tried to take the towel from his hands but he used his height to his advantage. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn6ZmchwOH
"Keep still." He said, his voice hinting authority and I pressed my lips in thin line, nodding meekly. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqRw9EjsG4
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.998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRODcm3lqY
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszoT9qtY82
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ReNMgTiCt
I put my hands over his which were still holding the top down and tucked on it, gently, urgently. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhHJRjQT3B
"I can do it myself from here." I stated. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCaYMUvWIB
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGH4wmHGxU
The pads of his thumb and forefinger moved slowly and tortourously over my bare skin, making me bit my lips from making any sound. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYlyd8NW1y
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNH26YAyyR
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQmGuuAxqU
His right hand caressed my wet hairs, and my eyes drooped low, threatning to shut in the delicious sensation. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa7VZ3vPjY
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTOD4CejbN
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H3rPDhh0e
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKtwqU5OLk
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLKjq2jPtE
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.998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWmQBTtw2W
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tGca7IAVY
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.998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwenuLNsS38
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooGNqJGxwh
What would he say? 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdTzQZt6Sm
That I pushed myself at him deliberately!?998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7gEPdeUl9
No, I didn't. It was just some bloody women reflex I had intentionally been born with!998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgFHk2Ku4a
Would he understand? 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Un9Y7Ah39
I would surely die of shame if he didn't, oh god. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡortUI4SJUw
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-998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqe9L1pOxs

I didn't turn around. Didn't have the courage to. Not after he nearly ki-998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9chwp2k8X
"I'm sorry. I got distracted." He said, humbly, gently, his voice laced with hint of plead. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLrAjxfvxJ
"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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mYH6UyBwJ
I. Exposed. Myself. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ITmhm9pWF
I'm my biggest traitor. Liar. Cheater. Bitch. Slug. Frog. Python. Donke-998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWMa6raXIw
"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.998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgN1oWoprf
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYflSm6yHNY
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyfS8Bn1HV
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL2deKOKHh
"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.998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUAXGjtJ5j
How could I speak of fucking milk after what just happened!?998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBpxFRhuAO
How could I!?998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdoX3S8eXF
Yeah, I remember now. I'm retarded. From top of my brain to the bottom of my ass! 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYaJ2cWeh3
I'm a creeping retard. Raging retard. Lowly retard. I'd rather just be a reptile! 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV8YBcEKov
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g6OZ4D5Mw
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbXUUidE6S
Maybe because he didn't have time to change into anything comfortable and interesting for his date. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBorJ3Miuf
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o4F1bp95v
"You should dry-"998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoHmOtxh5D
"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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhbFqJOyd4
I blinked at him to continue his statement.998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWvh2qUPIf
He blinked in return, for me to do the same. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1ANCfMbbZ
After I made no attempt in contiuing my statement, he deemed it necessary to speak first. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9B4VmXt36
"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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkGxf8qmZ3
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.998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0SIAyPsU9
"Where're you going?"998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2DnMXhcm8
"Home." I replied, not looking at him. "God, these shoes won't fit! Its-"998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXq0FMtLdo
"Stay."998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOAjgeQpoN
Not paying much attention to his words, I looked up from my shoes to him, narrowing my eyes in confusion."Huh? What di-"998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59HazaxPqw
"Stay the night, Hazel. It's late."998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXrcJujp7k
I glanced at my watch. Too late actually. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2JrPxuGsc
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcHc9ScqpS
But never a single day did he actually ask me to stay the night. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesIrZqRJm1
Though he'd be kind enough to text me to enquire about my safety.998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvc57X0U5j
And remembering that aspect of his personality, I was getting too nervous to actually stay the night. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEpewxxo8K
With him. On his apartment. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z7G9dGzMg
"But how can-"998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzILctDOnzJ
"Unless you want me to drop you to your apartment this late at night, then do what I'm saying."998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7ck31xoHs
He would drop me to my apartment? Woah! I looked at him in utter astonishment. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z4HLX2tgG
Did he eat the elephant in his dinner?998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2m2MN8pKQ
Or the lowly-criticized black-moustached bald Victorian Romeo? 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBoRaaQ5x6
"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!" 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ox2Oqv5se
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."998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2az4kfTXs
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDl8Ny5SBM
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. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM71w8xNbAU
I didn't want to strain my heart out further. It was already wounded, bruised and depressed from his-998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL3n0Gtnx1
"Hey! That's my phone!" Heath grabbed the phone from me and threw it unceremeniously on his couch. 998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjlalr6EOV
"You're staying the night, that's it. No arguments."998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnzlgX7cAt
"But my cab's-"998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpNsdeHlnO
"Cancel it before it starts barking in front of my apartment."998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxknGKIJ4kn
"But-"998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjAq6EL6UW
"Don't make me repeat myself, Scarlett."998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m4gwo62kx
