Chapter 57: 57. You'll be tormenting me

The door opens and as expected, I'm faced with a shirtless Duke.

"Pagne?" He calls me with his eyes squinted a little. Obviously he had fallen asleep already. My knock must have woken him up. I was going to just walk in because I didn't want to wake him, but I'd rather wake him than to walk in on him doing something like last night.

You've made it this far Champagne, don't back out now. "C_can I sleep in your room tonight?" His eyes instantly grow wider, and I can tell sleep too has vanished from those eyes. He is fully awake now and he's staring at me in a completely dumbfounded way.

"What?"

"Can I sleep next to you tonight?" I ask again. "J_Just sleep." I think I should at least make that clear.

"Why?" He asks. I wasn't expecting that question. Honestly, I wasn't expecting any questions. In my head I thought he would just move aside and let me walk in.
