Chapter 34 - A Long Sleepless Night

"Huh? Ah yes... I… I'm still here." She remembered what Lance asked her earlier. "H-how do I feel about him? Why would you ask that? Ah, I have to go. Bye!" J stuttered and suddenly felt awkward so she immediately finished their talk and hanged up.

She let out a big sigh. She gathered all her courage to walk inside the living room. Why does she feel foreign in her own house? While this guy looks so relaxed on the sofa doing some paperwork.

In the bedroom, she saw Jacob's clothes hanging in the closet. Urgh...this is so frustrating. Why does he feel so at home while she is having a hard time taking in what's happening?

She went to the bathroom to drown all her frustration and think of a way on how to get rid of Jacob.

J was soaking in the tub for almost half an hour now. Her eyes closed as she remembers what Jacob just said earlier. 'that doesn't mean we can't live like a normal married couple'....'At least I have to do something'. When she realized the words of Jacob, she suddenly opened her eyes.

Wait...what does he mean by act like a normal married couple? Does it include sleeping together and... At the thought of that, she suddenly rose up the tub. No, she can't let that happen. She has to get to her bedroom and lock herself. She can't let Jacob enter her room and sleep in her bed.

But to her surprise when she entered her room, Jacob was already asleep in her bed. What the heck?! She thought Jacob was still in the living room doing some paperwork. How long has she been in the bathroom? How could he fall asleep as fast as that? Where is she going to sleep? This is her apartment. This is her bedroom. This is her bed so she should be the one sleeping there. But how could she sleep there beside Jacob? Should she sleep beside him? Damn this punk!

J walked closer to the bed. But this punk, how could he be more handsome when he is asleep. His hair is now a bit messy compared to his usual daily hairstyle that is almost similar to superman's hairstyle. She scanned Jacob's face, this man is no doubt every girl's weakness. His prominent jaw and broad chin, deep-set eyes and thick eyebrows, high cheekbones and sometimes, well actually most of the time he showed his left cheek dimples whenever he smiles. And yes, that thin lips.

"Enjoying the view?" she was startled when Jacob suddenly speak. Apparently, he was awake all this time. Jacob slowly opened his eyes and teased her with a smile.

"You..." J was dumbstruck, she throws a pillow on Jacob then walked out of the bedroom. She can even hear Jacob laughing. She felt her cheeks blushed.

She regained her calmness after a couple of minutes then get back to the bedroom.

"I'm afraid it'll be uncomfortable for me to sleep beside you so could you please get out of my room now. You can sleep on the sofa if you really want to stay here. If you can't sleep on the sofa you can always go back to your precious villa." J said calmly.

"If you can't sleep beside me...It's not my problem." after saying that Jacob turn his back on J pulled a pillow into his embrace then he sleeps.
