28 Chapter 28: I donst want a brother-in-law (1/2)

Laurice was so confused with the way Sid was acting she could only shook her head.

'Did i say something wrong?'

She thought it was quite a waste that they did not get to have a rather 'decent' late night conversation since she wasn't all that sleepy yet.

Hmm.

Laurice seemed to have thought of something and suddenly burst in laughter.

'He's not possibly being shy, is he?'

'Eh?! Right, what about his bath? What is he going to change into? It's not like i have any spare clothes for men, even my oversized shirts won't even fit him.'

She paused at a sudden possibility that came to her mind and shuddered.

The image of the man popped up in her head.

Laurice gulped. Her cheeks blushed.

'What if ... he ... actually sleep in the nude?'

Damn.

She shook her head vigorously before her imaginations run wild.

But should she really ask him? He was her guest any way. However, she can't be careless or she might trip on her own words. She thought she might not be able to handle the consequences if the man himself went wild and unrestrained again.

She then decided to just rely on someone else's help to avoid causing trouble and went straight to her room upstairs.

...

Laurice has no idea that a certain man have actually been trying his hardest to restrain himself from the beginning.

'But, is it really just him?'

...

In her room.

”Hey Brother! Long time no see!” Laurice cheerfully spoke over the phone.

There was a long pause before Laurice heard a disgruntled reply from the person on the other side of the line who obviously recognized her voice.

”What long time no see?! You ungrateful brat! You never even bothered calling! How long has it been already huh?! You dared come back? I'm hanging up!” The man on the line furiously replied but did not end the call anyway.

She burst out laughing.

Her good old friend haven't changed at all indeed.

”I miss you too! But why aren't you hanging up yet?” She mocked. Laurice definitely enjoyed poking fun at this particular guy who's actually the sweetest and certainly the number one amongst her friends back in the states who dotes on her the most.

”Hmp! Who misses you?” He harrumphed.

Laurice could not help but laugh at the man's silliness and cleared her throat before speaking again, ”Where are you? Are you home? I need your help with something.”

”What?! The first you time call me since forever only to ask for my help? You cheeky brat. How can you be so shameless? And you did not even bother meeting with us since you arrived. If not for that good old 'Cat' we would never know your plans. Tell me, are we that insignificant to you?” The man continued ranting with a tinge of grief in his tone. He was sulking already.

The man was referring to their common friend Catherine whom she was supposed to meet yesterday.

Indeed, based on their conversation just now the man seemed to be crossed again. Any more delay and he will get emotional on her it won't be easy to coax him.

Laurice sighed and said, ”You're all important to me. And i really missed everybody. But i have an urgent situation, tell me where you are exactly.”

”Tsk. I'm home, ofcourse. Why? Do you wanna see my handsome face? You might not sleep tonight darling.” He said.

”Enough with your nonsense Dylan. Come here at my place with a pair of new and decent pajamas probably around a size of forty two for a man who is over six foot tall. Remember, new and decent. I need it now. I'll send you my address.”
