Bab 341: She's Different When Drunk

Day Forty-One…

~~*****~~

Aiden was staring at the sleeping beauty beside him while smiling like a fool. His stomach fluttered as he recalled what transpired last night in Cherry's guest room.

*~Flashback~*

Aiden cursed himself inwardly as he got caught by Cherry. Their eyes met. Through the light coming from the lampshade, Aiden could see clearly her confused expression.

Cherry seemed like she was trying to identify him as she adjusted her vision. On the other hand, Aiden didn't know whether to flee or just stay as it is. 

He was silently wishing that Cherry would close her eyes once more. But deep inside, his heartbeat was going wild and his body became rigid. 

"Sleep Cherry. Sleep again. This is just a dream." Aiden murmured. He reached out, gently stroking her hair.

"Close your eyes…" he softly mumbled as if he was trying to hypnotize her.
