Chapter 21An awkward silence reigns in the room as they both sit on the edge of the bed. "I'm sorry for talking to you in that manner... I was just pissed off," He apologizes, looking everywhere else, except her face. "But, you shouldn't have done that. It's not nice. I would've passed out earlier," He further complains, but she just rolls her eyes. "Are you not going to say anything?" He finally tilts his head to look at her, and she sighs briefly. "Hmm," She only hums, avoiding his gaze. She's yet to get over the shock of seeing him naked just now, so how's he supposed to look him in the eyes? She feels so embarrassed. "I will be in my room," She announces, as she stands up to her feet, but her heart misses a beat as he stands up and holds her hand, bringing her to a halt. "Uhm... Can you spend the night with me, please?" He pleads with her, hoping for a positive reply. As much as he wants to sleep alone, he's scared that the light may go off later, and he'll be left to anxie

Chapter 23Silence reigns in the car as Ren drives down the road, stealing glances at Alicia whose attention is outside the car. They're finally going on the date, but she doesn't look too happy about it. "Are you OK?" He asks, disrupting her thoughts. "Hmm," She nods her head as she just hums. This is what she has been saying since each time he asked if she was OK. "Come on, Alicia. Just talk to me. Are you feeling sad about anything? It makes me feel uncomfortable to see you like that," He convinces her, glancing at her and returning his gaze to the road. "I told you that I'm fine, Ren. Can you stay focused?" She rolls her eyes at him, and he shrugs. After the incident earlier, she has been mad at him for some reasons unknown to herself. Why the hell would he tell her that shit? After driving for what seems like forever, he finally parks in front of the restaurant and steps out of the car. Walking side by side into the spacious restaurant, Alicia keeps a straight face. "Alici

Chapter 25She shuts her eyes tightly as she throws her head away in embarrassment. Her heart beats rapidly against her chest as she curses under her breath, blaming herself for being such a talkative. Maybe he wouldn't have heard that if she had talked less, but no, she had to blab until he heard her. Gulping down the lump that formed in her throat, she raises her gaze to see the smirk dancing on his lips while having his hands inside his pockets, and her heart sinks into her stomach as she stares at those pair of innocent-looking eyes. She tries so hard to maintain a straight face and act like she's not drawn in by this man's charming eyes. "Maybe you heard wrong. I didn't say anything like that," She shrugs while praying silently that he believes her. She would be screwed if he doesn't believe her. Studying his facial expression for a few seconds, she almost runs out of her mind, seeing the blank expression on his face. "I'm really saying the truth, Ren. Why would I say those di

Chapter 27"We're watching a movie tonight, according to our schedule," Ren announces, as he arranges his shirts he washed moments ago, glancing at Alicia who's laying on the bed, and having all her attention on her phone. "I'm not interested," She rolls her eyes at him, not taking her eyes off her phone. Thinking about what he said to her earlier is still annoying, but she can only be stuck with her phone, so she can get those ugly words off her mind. Who the hell does he think he is? Telling her that he's just being like that because he's learning to get married later. That's the most annoying thing anyone has ever said to her. "Come on, Alicia. You are..." "Don't push it, Ren. I told you that I'm not interested!" She snaps at him, finally throwing her phone on the bed angrily as she sits up on the bed. If the phone is not so important to her, she wouldn't have minded smashing it on the wall, due to the way she's so pissed right now. "Come on, don't be like that. Are you OK? Why

Chapter 29 "Kevin!" She squeaks excitedly, as she stands up to her feet, and hugs the tall man that just walked up to them. "It has been a while, Alicia. Look at you. You're looking so gorgeous. You've grown so big," The Kevin guy says, checking her out. "And you too. You're so handsome, like more handsome than before," Hearing her compliment another man in front of him, he slowly grits his teeth and tightens his hand on his thigh as he glares into space. He shouldn't be angry, but he can't help it. Why the fuck would she be so comfortable with another man, huh? He just fucking told her to stop talking to another man before they left home earlier, how can she be so inconsiderate? "Are you in love with her?" His subconscious mind asks him, and he scoffs. Hell no! He can't possibly be in love with her, right? She's older than him for fuck sake, how can he be in love with her? "I'm just angry that he doesn't respect me enough," He assures himself, trying so hard to be calm and handl
