Chapter 167 - A space of her own (1/2)

The second time she woke up, it was already morning. She tried to move but her body was restrained with something.

”Hmm...?” she turned her head slightly and saw the arms wrapping around her.

Her eyes widened. Please don't tell her that she spent the night with him again.

She knew the man holding her would not be anyone else but Jeremy. This was her room and no one else could enter this room except him.

No one else but him.

Oh God, what had she done last night?

She tried to lift the arms carefully so not to wake him up. She must leave this place before he noticed anything!

”Hmm...”

She froze when he suddenly sighed and tightened his grip.

Uh oh...

She blew out a relief sigh when there was no movement or sound coming from him, well, other than the hardening against her bottom. She chewed her lower lip, trying to move her lower body to make a distance between both of them. She managed to do so but the space was small.

As long as it was still a gap between them, how much the distance was just a small matter.

Now, she tried to undo the clasp around her body. She needed to escape before he woke up!

She took a deep breath and with a trembling hand, she tried to lift his arm.

A little by little, slowly and slowly she managed to lift his arm up. Her heart was pounding hard as she focussed to do it without waking him up.

She just managed to lift up his hand just two inches when the door flung open.

Ryn turned toward the door. Her eyes widened in horror.

”Dear, I heard you're sick... Oh...” Mrs Long's words trailed off when she saw her son hugging the paled Ryn. ”Urm... You two just continue sleeping... Don't worry about breakfast.”

”Wh... Wait...” this is just a misunderstanding....

Ryn lifted her hand and tried to stop the elder woman but the excited woman already closed the door and skipped to her own room to break the good news to her dearest husband. Her husband would be over the moon. Surely Ryn would no longer plan to move out when she even spent the night with Jeremy.

Ryn dropped her head onto the pillow and groaned loudly. This was such a mess, it was giving her huge headache.

”This is crazy,” she groaned and tried to glare at the man sleeping peacefully behind her.

She spent almost ten minutes huffing and glaring at Jeremy. Then, she sighed and again tried to lift his arm again.

This time it took her less than half an hour to be free from his embrace. She rolled away from him and fell down the bed.

She cried a bit but managed to muffle it out. She sat up and rubbed her body a bit. Then, she stood up and hurriedly walked into the bathroom. She was so desperate to use the bathroom.

It took her almost an hour to get ready. Luckily for her, Jeremy was still deep in his sleep when she exited the bathroom only in a robe.

She quickly grabbed a set of fresh clothes including her underwear and entered the bathroom back to change into them.

It did not take long for her to leave the bathroom for the second time. She went straight to the dressing table to brush her hair into a simple ponytail, before started to gather her meager belonging, the one she brought from home into two bags.

Aa she was busy with her packing, she glanced a few times toward the bed. Luckily Jeremy did not even stir, not even once. Even when she was done, he was still deep in his sleep. How tired he was until he kept on slumbering?

When Ryn was finally satisfied nothing was left behind, she held onto both bags and slowly and quietly went to the door.

Almost... She was almost there when...

”Ryn? Where are you going?” came a husky voice asking her sleepily.

She froze. She did not dare to move even a limb. Please, let him fall asleep back and treated this as a dream.

”Ryn?” Jeremy rubbed the sleepiness from his eyes and yawned loudly. He woke up when he heard something weird. Then, he saw her walking toward the door holding something big.

Where was she going to? And with bags?

She slowly turned around, still clutching both bags.

His face changed when he realized what she was holding. Two bags full of things... Her things.

”Ryn, where are you going with... Those?” his voice was filled with sadness and hurt, it almost made Ryn cancelling her plan and return back to him.

”I... I am moving into my house today. I've told you yesterday, havn't I?” she tried to sound firm but ended up a bit weak and soft. She winced at her own mistake.

”But why? Aren't we happy with our arrangement now?” he asked back. He pushed the blanket off his body, only to realize he was only wearing his pajama bottom and his morning erection was still... erected.

He scowled at the realization and without thinking reached for a pillow to cover the evidence.

”I need my own space, Jeremy. I've told you yesterday,” she said desperately.

”But... But...”

She used one hand to hold both bags and abother to open the door.
