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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTCL8gA1QD
The need to make the necessary call to check on his well-being was increasing through each passing minute. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthwZOSGGw5
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoudQBsGCL
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXrLDkqyPj
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6mzbiV3SO
But that was out of question, since Heath barely visited his home, let alone having good relations with his father. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQkfDxi7wy
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxtRq1guN7
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwlUr53iwO
When he didn't respond after my second call, I knew he wasn't home, or he was already asleep after his strenuous date. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jCN9ETrR4
Or maybe he loved every inch of it. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTJhYe44mD
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.937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTRG7gl3im
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYffTFISrz8
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLLNSFTwOw
"Hi." I croaked out, waving hesitantly at him. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCLI4IWQkp
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.937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71LplqFhoB
"I..I..." I opened my mouth to answer him, but found it difficult to continue further. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZcWeqdwor
He stopped unbuttoning his shirt, and went to his room, quietly, and emerged with a fresh towel.937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkIUj5Sf9n
"Here."I felt soft material land on my wet forehead, my temple itching with the prolonged rainwater sticking to my face.937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0YHZfsiex
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIbIUfM6Sy
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJB2vvbOnX
"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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm0W53hxyq
My eyes widened at his words and quickly I fumbled with my shoes and walked to his apartment, seating myself comfortably on his couch. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrhnArewPJ
"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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1pQjXWyuj
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcZCkQrPeK
"Why're you here then? Your dishevelled state of-"937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawP1PMT1IX
"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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6CIBFqZB6
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJAf8aFf2Q
"What?" I started, irritated by his response. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fYcm4ztik
"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."937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDneivsRm5
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlhDuAYbVk
Seventeen ways to have him inside you. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5bdHfaJJk
-By Rixon Gold. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkqVZ41wex
God, I almost vomited the heart out of my mouth reading that title. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxsThwRZWD
Who even cares how many ways he is inside you as long as you have him love you daily? 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK3hAkGdGp
I mean I wouldn't care if we made love daily, with the same angle everyday, I would just be content with him ins-937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFj3ePzS0F
I heard him cough beside me and, blushed at my own hidden dirtiness, avoiding his eyes. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg6mCBelHD
"You sure keep some interesting specimens of literature in your study." I accused him, taking the coffee mug and leaning against his dining table. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy8MmQHSlu
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."937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0MdU2DezP
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ12HDhfbRP
He shrugged, eyeing the book on the floor dangerously. "Not entirely. My mother owns more than half of it."937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4FnugaFzk
Like daughter. Like mother. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFaNfqDB5m
But I liked Mrs Evercrest. She's most beautiful and graceful lady I ever had the honors to cross paths with. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKs1HcwKlj
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.937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhIHJFDM1p
Though Heath didn't seem to be grateful of his own mother's unconditional affection for him!937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQW7RtQVcM
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsSgeLRvJv
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflGmo9enp7
But keeping the usual animosity between siblings aside, Heath and Miss Jennifer were goals. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nGH4auMUG
Too bad my mother didn't marry the man with a son. I'd have loved to play brother-sister with him. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4her3kytc6
Taking one sip from my mug, I looked at Heath to see him in deep thought. "How did the date go?"937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApfKsdIZRm
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."937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYiOPYuZGf
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Good? Just good? What'd you do, Heath?"937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI0ihvjUZc
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."937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgOJK2knT2
"So...What'd you two do then?"937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeBq8mZD2O
"We talked, ate, and enjoyed." He looked apologetic. "In silence." He completed, obviously feeling dejected and disappointed. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2xNfqicFL
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYj3oqmpXX
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-"937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpddLiYBEC2
"Doubts?"937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsklmb7QqyD
"Yeah. She asked me if my favourite singer was Eminem. She just assumed it was him without even taking my choice in consideration-"937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr6M2i7HR0
"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.937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hGDPDSah3
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjoBc8zvEd
"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."937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xodvRSJNg
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.937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oDjKKcEg3
"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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXmnpNEdLZ
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."937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkznJ9h0DS
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-937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPYGHJ1QFX
I coughed, -we'd both be happy in our own spheres, I completed hurriedly in my mind. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlv4XdKJtP
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJw1PVQDOf
"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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FwJSdFQru
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6A3LRxM6F
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXNsUYg0ZB
"I can do it mys-" I tried to take the towel from his hands but he used his height to his advantage. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOoXjp4UuE
"Keep still." He said, his voice hinting authority and I pressed my lips in thin line, nodding meekly. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx7SHOybUw
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.937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRdjhT0tTv
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd1gp6sSAw
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLcxTXugvm
I put my hands over his which were still holding the top down and tucked on it, gently, urgently. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4guU3qhZa
"I can do it myself from here." I stated. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQHyeQLsL7
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeAAcT8nMN
The pads of his thumb and forefinger moved slowly and tortourously over my bare skin, making me bit my lips from making any sound. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hD5vM8ML7
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hebdCtM1Q
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5DR33fqIg
His right hand caressed my wet hairs, and my eyes drooped low, threatning to shut in the delicious sensation. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoT7soI4uv
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr38Ki1H5HX
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb3xGrYHda
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHNrNmdSgw
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55ZYO6oFIi
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.937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zL5c3qFvd
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdigjQyvASJ
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.937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlhR8nG6LI
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSRw2eLs9u
What would he say? 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW831l0kRO2
That I pushed myself at him deliberately!?937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OWLUIbkfD
No, I didn't. It was just some bloody women reflex I had intentionally been born with!937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilGP7oHZ8b
Would he understand? 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwkTptIEtH
I would surely die of shame if he didn't, oh god. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufb1gf6xde
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-937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqSGScV3j9
"Scarlett."937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZLIjoRSdt
I didn't turn around. Didn't have the courage to. Not after he nearly ki-937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfSKLIawmc
"I'm sorry. I got distracted." He said, humbly, gently, his voice laced with hint of plead. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP59wuSQrkN
"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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIQoujj0jr
I. Exposed. Myself. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimddZF32Ze
I'm my biggest traitor. Liar. Cheater. Bitch. Slug. Frog. Python. Donke-937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeyjbP4ZP0
"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.937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexpcpk3laF
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuUWAIjJgm
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPSLNLxax4
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vSKeiUc5N
"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.937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFr5aNVsOc
How could I speak of fucking milk after what just happened!?937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUOubdmDdz
How could I!?937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUAqG3EuVW
Yeah, I remember now. I'm retarded. From top of my brain to the bottom of my ass! 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V0T1A8rUw
I'm a creeping retard. Raging retard. Lowly retard. I'd rather just be a reptile! 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng4WqXsSZI
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS2LeNzw3J
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IvjpQw8Qb
Maybe because he didn't have time to change into anything comfortable and interesting for his date. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJJJfnKbN7
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPlfuW9Zrs
"You should dry-"937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4inFirTTwL
"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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAlpeJ5pDl
I blinked at him to continue his statement.937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1HB0CUBIZ
He blinked in return, for me to do the same. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6Q4nnUtXS
After I made no attempt in contiuing my statement, he deemed it necessary to speak first. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9fH1rUkEU
"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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkCDEljgwU
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.937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QYWISAMGc
"Where're you going?"937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPaSHDgyC9
"Home." I replied, not looking at him. "God, these shoes won't fit! Its-"937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08zkn9Ned8
"Stay."937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4paSMrWfl
Not paying much attention to his words, I looked up from my shoes to him, narrowing my eyes in confusion."Huh? What di-"937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XB1J16p8V
"Stay the night, Hazel. It's late."937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtFmsfTEQu
I glanced at my watch. Too late actually. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV3Ims2gW0
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44c28qhHnr
But never a single day did he actually ask me to stay the night. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxKSJkmYes
Though he'd be kind enough to text me to enquire about my safety.937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChBP6LdDn1
And remembering that aspect of his personality, I was getting too nervous to actually stay the night. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGms0hYLcof
With him. On his apartment. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDbcIG4nji
"But how can-"937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lXm5iWzLn
"Unless you want me to drop you to your apartment this late at night, then do what I'm saying."937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy9tZX0xT9
He would drop me to my apartment? Woah! I looked at him in utter astonishment. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk1NqjmCC0
Did he eat the elephant in his dinner?937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCgLKpZYtz
Or the lowly-criticized black-moustached bald Victorian Romeo? 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonJ9fYfE8Y
"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!" 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFFSwcdgSi
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."937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZLMIzZko3
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLBXFKYI4t
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. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZhUDilkEW
I didn't want to strain my heart out further. It was already wounded, bruised and depressed from his-937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0o0sie7pP
"Hey! That's my phone!" Heath grabbed the phone from me and threw it unceremeniously on his couch. 937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zCTSPX7CH
"You're staying the night, that's it. No arguments."937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVWLTz9k1X
"But my cab's-"937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyz1nvFmnv
"Cancel it before it starts barking in front of my apartment."937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnqrBVFJ1J
"But-"937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLZTvxwUlT
"Don't make me repeat myself, Scarlett."937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv9klRynN6
