Chapter 320 - Sleep with you (1/2)

Diana watched his eyes gaze at her scorchingly, and she swallowed, she tried to think of what to say, but no thoughts could form in her head, she just stood there, heart pounding erratically.

Michael gulped as his eyes fell on her chest, she was wearing a cardigan but he could see the faint outline of her n.i.p.p.l.es; his teeth clenched as he imagined how n.a.k.e.d she was inside of that single clothing…

Diana's breath raged, she involuntarily licked her lower lip as her hand clutched the end of her cardigan;

Was he going to touch her?

They were standing irresistibly close to each other, and his scent filled her nostrils. She wanted him so badly and she knew if he made just one move, she was going to melt like a bucket of ice in the sun.

Michael blinked after a moment;

''I'll be in the living room,'' he spoke huskily, without waiting for her response, he turned and walked out from the kitchen speedily.

Diana's eyes fluttered as she exhaled a breath she didn't know she was holding.

This was the first time she had seen his eyes gaze at her so wantonly. That moment, it seemed like nothing would stop him from taking her right there in the kitchen and she was damn ready, every cell and muscle in her body were already singing 'halleluiah, but he had just walked away.

Diana turned on the tap first and washed her face to calm her raging hormones. She could not even blame him, she brought this upon herself.

After calming herself down, she went to the living room, he was lying on a couch and looking at his phone. Her eyes glanced at the clock and saw it was past 10, it was late to watch a movie, the next thing to do was sleep;

''Are you going to be staying out for long? ''

She asked and Michael raised his eyes from his phone, seeing her, he shook his head and stood up;

''No, I was about going in for the night, goodnight. ''

Diana nodded; ''yeah, goodnight. '' she wanted to apologize again for what happened in the kitchen but she decided to leave it, it was best to just forget what happened. She watched him walk to his room and close the door, and her eyes turned to her room.

The night was cold. As she walked into her room, her eyes fell on the empty king-sized bed, and a sigh left her lips.

Even though they weren't going to do anything she just wanted to sleep hugging him. Diana sulked as she walked to the bed and covered herself with the duvet, hugging her giant teddy bear tight.

Before it gave her some comfort, but today, she felt like tossing it out of the window. She had never yearned for human touch so much before. Maybe, it was because he was sleeping in the next room.

Diana shut her eyes and tried to catch some sleep, but all to no avail. She turned and twisted on the bed until she finally gave up and picked her phone.

Tapping on her WhatsApp messenger, she went to his contact, surprisingly, he was online.

She quickly typed a message but before she could send it, his message came in;

''Hey, you're still awake? ''

She read it and replied almost instantly;

''yes, I can't sleep. What about you? ''

''Can't sleep either, was going through social media when I saw you online. ''

''Oh, okay. ''

She sent it, and there was silence. She wanted to ask if they could sleep together, but after what happened that night, she didn't know if she was being too much.

A light sigh left her lips as she stared at her phone.

''We have a scene together on Wednesday, so you'll come over tomorrow or should I come over for a practice? ''

''No worries, I want to see Caesar, so I'll come to your place, just call me when you're done in the office. ''

''Okay. ''

Silence ensued again as there was nothing else to say;

Diana sulked as she stared at her phone;

She didn't have a choice, if she didn't ask, she was going to stay awake till morning.

So gathering up courage; she typed the message'

''uh… can I come sleep with you, maybe I might fall asleep? ''

Her heart raced as she tapped on the send button. She had said she wouldn't be shameless, but she was diving headfirst into the ocean of shamelessness!

What if he turned her down?

Her heart pounded as she waited for his message;

Jeez, why was he taking so long?!

She cried in her head. Was he thinking of how to turn her down politely?

If he did, she wouldn't even know how to look at him in the face again. He would have just crushed the remaining part of her pride.

Her phone vibrated in her hands and she clicked on his message ever slowly;

''Sure… ''
