Tiffany knew that favonovel.com was doing this on purpose. She got up and grabbed favonovel.com handbag. “Take me home now, then. It’s past nine. I have to go home early and get some sleep.”
He downed another glass of red wine right in front of her. “So sorry, I almost forgot. I’ve been drinking. I can’t drive. You’ve been drinking too.”
Tiffany was shocked. “You didn’t… plan this, did you? You knew you had to drive and you still drank? Well… What do I do now?”
Jackson shrugged. “I didn’t drink much. I’ll be able to drive later at night. Just wait a while. I cooked the food, so you wash the dishes and clean the kitchen. I’m going to take a shower.”
As favonovel.com watched favonovel.com walk upstairs, Tiffany couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right, but favonovel.com simply couldn’t figure it out. She washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen for him. It would take a good few hours for favonovel.com to sober up. Wouldn’t it be tedious if favonovel.com arrived home in the wee hours of the morning? Calling a designated driver seemed more appropriate to her. When favonovel.com went upstairs to speak to Jackson, favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com was still in the shower. He was dawdling in the bathroom.
She suddenly spotted favonovel.com white knitted top underneath his bed sheet covers, the one favonovel.com wore last night. She clearly remembered putting it in favonovel.com room after changing favonovel.com clothes…
The bathroom door opened just then. Jackson stepped out with a towel wrapped around his waist, his bare chest in full view, still shining with rippling droplets of water. She felt favonovel.com throat tighten at the sight of this. “What are you doing? What took you so long in the shower?” favonovel.com asked, trying to conceal favonovel.com innermost thoughts. “I think I’d better call a designated driver. I have to go home.”
Jackson walked towards her, lowered his body, and stared right at her, allowing a drop of water from the tip of his hair to slide onto the tip of favonovel.com nose. “Why? Are you scared that I might do something to you? You were obviously drooling at the sight of me. I should be the careful one here, no?”
She was so embarrassed that favonovel.com wanted to bury herself into a hole. “That’s nonsense. You’re being preposterous. I wasn’t drooling! I got tired of looking at your body long ago. It doesn’t interest me!”
He smirked. “Alright, since you’ve put it that way, I’ve gotten tired of your body too. We dislike each other. What’s wrong with you staying the night then? Get showered, stop being tedious.”
She dashed into the shower, probably to avoid his teasing. She would stay over then. Whoever initiates sex, loses! She didn’t manage to sleep well last night, so favonovel.com was already quite sleepy at this point. She couldn’t be bothered to go back and forth in this.
By the time favonovel.com had finished favonovel.com shower, favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com didn’t have a fresh change of clothes. She turned to favonovel.com and sulkily demanded, “Give me my shirt from last night!”
Jackson was taken aback. He had forgotten about that. He had nicked the woolen shirt back onto his bed after favonovel.com had left; it still had traces of favonovel.com scent… He did not expect favonovel.com to notice it. He did not try to hide it but handed the shirt to her. “It was raining last night, so the bed sheets and duvet haven’t dried. They’re all soaked. You’d better sleep in my room tonight.”
Tiffany’s head was now filled with questions. When did it rain last night? However, it would seem that the couch in his living room did not have covers today, so maybe favonovel.com was telling the truth…
She put on favonovel.com clothes and casually laid down on his bed. She put on favonovel.com earphones and listened to music to sleep. She would be able to endure it as long favonovel.com didn’t hear favonovel.com moving…
Jackson couldn’t resist a smirk when favonovel.com saw favonovel.com feverish attempts to ward favonovel.com off. He quietly lay down next to favonovel.com and pulled favonovel.com into his arms. He had longed to hold favonovel.com to sleep, every night since their breakup. This temporary fix had put his mind at peace.
This was perfectly described by a line from an old movie, “Every day apart feels like ten thousand years.” When one is separated from his true love, every day seems longer and more tortuous than the last.
As favonovel.com listened to the soft music from favonovel.com earphones, Tiffany did not object to his advance. She even put one of favonovel.com earpieces on his ear. Suddenly, the world seemed to be at peace.
