Chapter 137 - Revenge Never Tasted So Sweet (2/2)

Embarrassment, shame, and every kind of awkward feeling filled her as she swiftly rolled off the man's body with her eyes still closed.

”I…Listen, I am…I did not mean to-” She paused when she opened her eyes and glanced at the man who had his eyes closed. His chest falling and rising evenly.

It was as if there was a flood of relief sweeping away the awkwardness from her heart. Luckily… She closed her eyes and patted her chest.

She quietly got off the bed and looked at him. After contemplating for a moment, she removed the leather boots off his feet and then loosened the collar of his shirt before tucking him in the blanket so that he would not be uncomfortable or cold.

In the next moment, however, she suddenly found no strength in her legs. She sat on the floor and leaned back on the edge of the bed.

1 second.

2 seconds.

3 seconds.

When she could not take the silence any longer, she raised her hand and slapped her face hard, wanting to smack some senses in her mind in the process.

Was she crazy? How could she even do it? She ran her fingers through her hair and dragged her knees closer to her chest before banging her head on it again and again.

”You kicked me out of your house…So, I want revenge. What revenge? A kiss?!” She muttered to herself in disbelief, ”Dammit! Months of 'we are friends' only to end up like this. What the hell did I do?” She hugged her knees closer to her body and buried her face in the hollow as she closed her eyes.

What did he even think when he kissed her? Why would he do that? Was it because he was drunk? And…how can she grab his…Dammit… Her face turned red. This is so humiliating. He will forget all of it tomorrow since he is drunk, won't he? Not only did she allow him to kiss her, she even kissed him back!?

”What kind of revenge includes kissing him like that?” she whispered.

She could barely keep her eyes open after the long and exhausting day. Lost in her thoughts, she did not realize when she drifted off to sleep.

As soon as her breathing was even and the room returned to its peace without her depressed mumblings, the man sleeping on the bed opened his eyes and glanced at the woman who was sitting near his feet on the cold floor.

Walking out of the bed, he gently carried her off the floor and put her on the bed before tucking her in the blanket making sure to not look anywhere below her neckline which might torture him in countless ways.

He removed his suit jacket and shirt before throwing them to her study chair as he joined her in the small bed. Small as it was, he did not mind it as long as she was beside him.

As expected, once she was asleep, she would not budge an inch even if the universe was shaken. To not make her awkward, he pretended to sleep but little he expect that she will slap herself like this.

He propped his head on his palm and glanced at her face as she slept. Her fair cheek which was turning slowly red because of her slap did not go unnoticed by him. He placed his palm on her cheek and caressed her skin with the pad of his thumb.

His gaze wandered to her beautiful lips that were swollen till now. His lips curved up slightly as he pressed a soft kiss on her lips and got inside the blanket. Wrapping an arm around her, he pulled her closer to himself until her face was buried in his chest, ”Revenge never tasted so sweet,” He whispered and closed his eyes.

You looked into my eyes for a little too long to 'not have any feelings for me'.
