Chapter 60 - 60: She is Alive! (1/2)

Erick just finished taking a shower when Elle knocked on his room. She brought some sleeping garments. Erick let her enter. There was an awkward atmosphere between the two.

They couldn't look to each other's eyes. Erick already changed into his sleeping clothes. She could smell his faint intoxicating masculine scent mixed with the soap he just used. He was so dashing with his fresh-from-shower look.

'Damn...Am I realy staying with this handsome Adonis tonight?'

”You can take a shower now. The bathroom is on the left. There is also a clean towel hang inside.” Erick spoke up first.

”Okay. Thank you.” She simply said before going to the direction of the bathroom. Of course she already know where it is. She already visited his room many time without his knowing.

Erick sighed when Elle left. He must be calmed outside but deep inside he was a little bit nervous.

''I guess I have to sleep in my study room tonight. It will surely be uncomfortable with us if we will sleep in the same bed.'' he mumbled to himself.

After 20 minutes Elle got out from the bathroom. She didn't see Erick inside the room so she felt a little bit relieved.

Elle was drying her long black hair which was still wet from shower, using the towel when Erick entered the room coming from his study.

There were still small water droplets scattered on her forehead. She looked so fresh and smelled so nice. Erick stopped on his track upon seeing her.

As Elle felt the presence of another person in the room, she turned around to see Erick standing there on the side staring at her. Their eyes met but both of them look away quickly.

Elle was standing in his bedside and Erick walked over.

”You can sleep here on the bed. I will sleep in my study.” Erick said to her.

Elle glanced at him after hearing that. She was glad that Erick was really considerate even though he was still mad at her.

”Erick...” She called his name. Erick stared at her, waiting for her to continue what she was about to say. She wanted to explain however she didn't know how to start.

Seeing him looking at her intently, the words were stuck in her throat. In the end, she couldn't say the words. She unconsciously bite her lips due to her uneasiness. She tend to do that every time she felt uncomfortable with his presence.

That action didn't escape the observant eyes of Erick. It triggered a memory in his mind. Suddenly a flashback appeared on his mind. It was the same vision he saw this morning.

In this same room, he was lying and she was on his top. He was also staring at her intently when Elle suddenly bite her lips. Her simple action like that awaken the strong desire inside him. He pulled her closer and finally claimed her soft delicate lips.

His heart skipped a beat. He looked at her and the bed besides them. He suddenly frown, this time it really felt so real.

Elle noticed the changes in expression of Erick. She followed the line of his sight. He was now looking at the bed besides them, frowning.

Elle's eyes widened. 'Sh**t, did he remember something!'

Erick was about to ask her something when they heard a knock on the door. They both turned around.

Erick was the one who opened the door. It was Erick's father, Raymond.

Raymond smiled at both of them.

”Sorry to disturb you both. Elle may I borrow your boyfriend first?”

Elle just nodded and smiled at him in agreement.

'Yes, please take him before he can interrogate me about something I don't want to talk about.' Elle thought to herself.

After that, the father and son left in order to talk about something. She decided to sleep early so that when Erick comes back, he wouldn't be able to ask her something.

When she saw him looking at her and in the bed, her instinct was telling her that a while ago Erick was about to ask her what happened last night between them.
