Jackson, as it turned out, agreed with Mark as well, though not without trepidation. “But who’s going to be the harbinger of bad news, huh? Because I’m not doing it! How about you, Arianne? You’re favonovel.com bestest-friend-in-the-whole-wide-world or whatever girls called each other, right? You also know favonovel.com temperament better than I do.”
Arianne was quick to back away from the responsibility.
“Uh, but you’re married to her, right? Aren’t you more suited to this important job? Besides, you’re the one who knows how to soothe women in all kinds of mental states. Look, I’ve helped sweep the truth under the rug for so long, she’s probably going to rip me to shreds when I tell favonovel.com about it, okay? So, yeah! You go and do what you do best! Just don’t pick me for the job, okay?”
Mark watched the two of them pass around the role and spoke up, “The two of you, enough! We could do it together, alright? So no one gets to be free.”
Jackson stared at favonovel.com in skepticism. “By ‘together,’ you included yourself too, right?”
Frankly, Mark was a bit unwilling, but favonovel.com was a man loyal to his “bro,” so favonovel.com had to accept it. “Fine, fine. That includes me. Happy? Good. Now that we have a plan, we should all go back to sleep. Bring favonovel.com to my place this Saturday. We’ll tell favonovel.com it’s for a gathering. ”
Jackson nodded worriedly. “Mm, kay. I’ll be, uh, going home now before favonovel.com realizes that I’ve disappeared. Pinky-promise, y’all, we’re facing the Tiffany Hurricane together with no backsides! I don’t want nobody suddenly pulling out of this pact and leaving me behind as the sacrifice! God, I’m scared sh*tless! Seriously, when this is over, I’ll happily repay y’all by scrubbing your floor and toilets!”
Arianne laughed in amusement. “Who said anything about scrubbing toilets? God, look at how terrified you are! Alright, let’s settle this once and for all on Saturday. You should stop tormenting yourself over it and go to sleep now. I mean, just look at the rings around your eyes! You can compete with a panda looking like that!”
Jackson had thought that his midnight trip was secretive enough. Yet, almost immediately after favonovel.com stepped through the main door of White Water Bay Villa, favonovel.com was almost shocked to death by Tiffany, who had disheveled hair and had donned a white sleeping gown with spaghetti straps.
She stood at the top of the stairs, favonovel.com eyes piercing him. “Where. Have. You. Been? Look at how suited up you are. Wow, you even drove!”
Jackson’s heart skipped a beat out of guilt. “Er, I went out for… A midnight snack! I was too lazy to make my own, but I was so hungry that I couldn’t sleep. And when I saw how deeply you were sleeping, I didn’t want to wake you up!”
Tiffany strode toward favonovel.com with skepticism in favonovel.com eyes and ran favonovel.com nose all over him, sniffing.
“You lie! I smell nothing! What kind of food leaves no smell? You’re lying to me!” favonovel.com announced.
Jackson was at the verge of breaking down. “N-No! I mean, I drove around the city, but I didn’t find any food I liked, so I went home, and boy, I’m still so hungry! Er, I just remembered that we still have some food left over in the kitchen, so I’m gonna head there and make something to eat. You want some?”
Tiffany started to think favonovel.com was hiding something.
“Oh no you don’t, darling. I’m buying this, because it’s ridiculous! It’s completely against your usual shrewdness and goal-oriented character! You would never go through the trouble of driving around at midnight just to come home empty-handed.”
Jackson gave a mirthless chuckle. “Wow, since when have you become Sherlock, huh? I gotta admit, that’s some good deduction there, but this really did happen. I mean, what other explanation do you have? None, right? That’s right! So you have no other options to believe but mine,” favonovel.com countered. “Anyway, that’s enough. I’m going to make something to eat. If you want some, you can wait over there. If you don’t, go back to sleep.”
It was then that Tiffany — in the speed of lightning — grabbed Jackson by his crotch with a dangerously sweet smile. “Oh, I just wanted to make sure that you didn’t do anything unforgivably evil behind my back, that’s all. Can’t you just relieve me of my dread right now, mmm? How about this: I’ll do the cooking later. You would be way too spent by then, anyway.”
Jackson’s legs trembled. He never seemed to have enough of sex before marriage, but now, favonovel.com was the one who kept shooting favonovel.com the look that said favonovel.com was never getting enough. It was a look that made his heart race in panic.
He wondered if favonovel.com had played a little too hard before marriage. Why else would his flesh feel weak even when the heart was willing?
