An Inevitable Fate?

Rachel cleared her throat to gain his attention.

"Ahem,"

Aaron turned around and dropped the bedsheet on to the floor that he was holding.

His mouth opened wide as he took the scenery in front of him.

'Damn, why is she not wearing clothes?!'

His ears soon turned pink as he saw her b.a.r.e shoulder that was peaking out of the door.

He wanted to speak but words just wouldn't come out of his mouth.

Rachel cleared her throat again and tried not to show her awkwardness.

"What's wrong?"

Finally, Aaron managed to speak but it didn't come out as he had expected it to be. His voice sounded a little hoarse.

He cursed internally!

"Uhm, do you by any chance have an extra pullover?"

What? Pullover?

"Aren't you gonna sleep now?"

'Why would she need a pullover while sleeping?'

"Are the clothes that I gave not comfortable enough? It's not chilly during the night time here."

The room was not big enough to allow the cool air to enter. It had a balcony but if it was left open during the night, bugs and mosquitoes would enter as the surrounding was greenery.

And, it wasn't safe either as there were not many houses nearby.

"They are comfortable!"

They were too 'comfortable' to sleep. She would sleep in that if she was alone but together with this guy? Noways!

"Haha but I kind of feel cold during the night time. Do you have any?"

He asked her to wait for a minute and went to search in the walk-in closet. As soon as he entered, he clutched his heart tight.

It was beating hard!

'Damn, she looked so hot!'

He couldn't help but think of her white porcelain skin. Her shoulders were small and delicate with well-defined collarbones.

All he wanted to do was to push her against the wall and kiss her until her mind goes blank. He wanted to suck and bite those delicate collarbones.

His body started to heat up with these wild d.e.s.i.r.es. He didn't dare to imagine what it might look like under the towel.

"Goddammit! Stop thinking with your lower body like a d*ckhead!"

He shook his head and took a few breaths to calm his body.

Taking out a grey pullover which was going to be oversized for her petite body, he walked towards the bathroom.

Rachel opened the door slightly and took the pullover.

She pulled the pullover over her head and took a glance in the mirror.

Perfect!

It covered till her t.h.i.g.hs. She felt warm as she had been waiting for him in nothing but a towel from that time.

Outside, Aaron was praying all the gods up in heaven to not let Rachel wear only the pullover.

If she did wear the only pullover without anything below, he would die for sure.

He was not sure if he could control himself.

The next moment, the bathroom door opened and Rachel came out drying her hair with the towel.

When he saw her wearing the shorts as well, his heart calmed down.

She looked so funny and pure, innocent like a child in those baggy clothes.

"Let's go down and have dinner. Come on,"

"Oh, alright."

He had ordered a take-out half an hour before while they were coming to this place as the delivery would be late since the place was far from the main city.

He took the cover and arranged the food on the table.

It was a simple chicken soup with seafood vegetable pancakes.

They both had their dinner in silence.

It was already late and they both were tired. Aaron insisted on sleeping in the hall and Rachel in the room.

He knew he wouldn't be able to sleep if he slept next to her on the same bed.

Rachel didn't protest and went to sleep.

She had expected him to take advantage of her using her situation but he hadn't forced on her to do anything. That was good.

As she lay on the bed, she let out a long sigh. She was tired and couldn't stay awake any longer. Soon, she fell asleep.

It was such a long day.

Early the next morning,

Rachel woke up, rubbing her eyes with her palm, and slowly sat up on the bed. She looked at the surrounding in a daze and shook her head to clear her mind.

Right, she was in her new 'home'!

She took her mobile that was placed on the bedside table and felt disappointed. Her parents had not called her. There were two messages from Crysta checking up on her.

Rachel had told Crysta that she would explain everything to her later in person. She thought of meeting her friend today after her appointment with Darren.

Making the bed, she dragged her feet to the washroom to freshen up.

She didn't have her toiletries, so she used her finger to brush her teeth. After washing her face, she went downstairs.

She had expected to find Aaron on the couch still sleeping in the hall, but to her great surprise, he had already showered and was wearing a suit with black pants and waistcoat with grey shirt inside. His hair was slightly damp. He was busy setting up the breakfast on the table.
