Tiffany knew that snazzynovel.com was doing this on purpose. She got up and grabbed snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com watched snazzynovel.com walk upstairs, Tiffany couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right, but snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com to sober up. Wouldn’t it be tedious if snazzynovel.com arrived home in the wee hours of the morning? Calling a designated driver seemed more appropriate to her. When snazzynovel.com went upstairs to speak to Jackson, snazzynovel.com realized that snazzynovel.com was still in the shower. He was dawdling in the bathroom.
She suddenly spotted snazzynovel.com white knitted top underneath his bed sheet covers, the one snazzynovel.com wore last night. She clearly remembered putting it in snazzynovel.com room after changing snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com throat tighten at the sight of this. “What are you doing? What took you so long in the shower?” snazzynovel.com asked, trying to conceal snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com was already quite sleepy at this point. She couldn’t be bothered to go back and forth in this.
By the time snazzynovel.com had finished snazzynovel.com shower, snazzynovel.com realized that snazzynovel.com didn’t have a fresh change of clothes. She turned to snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com had left; it still had traces of snazzynovel.com scent… He did not expect snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com was telling the truth…
She put on snazzynovel.com clothes and casually laid down on his bed. She put on snazzynovel.com earphones and listened to music to sleep. She would be able to endure it as long snazzynovel.com didn’t hear snazzynovel.com moving…
Jackson couldn’t resist a smirk when snazzynovel.com saw snazzynovel.com feverish attempts to ward snazzynovel.com off. He quietly lay down next to snazzynovel.com and pulled snazzynovel.com into his arms. He had longed to hold snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com listened to the soft music from snazzynovel.com earphones, Tiffany did not object to his advance. She even put one of snazzynovel.com earpieces on his ear. Suddenly, the world seemed to be at peace.
