292 A breath of fresh air (1/2)
Meanwhile, back in Kai's room, Kai was still in the bathroom, reeling at what he had just done, and almost done, with Miss Hooligan.
She really was a hooligan through and through. He couldn't believe that she had managed to break him. He was shocked at how bold and daring she was. He wasn't sure if that was something she would have done without the effect of the wine, or whether it was the wine that was talking. But somehow, from having spent a bit of time with her, he thought that it was very likely that she would have acted the same way. Knowing her, she probably would have tried to beat him up first.
She had completely taken him off guard. Was it because it had been a long time since he had bedded a woman? Or was it because the woman was her?
He ran his fingers through his hair. What he had just done was very risky for her. Regardless of whether it was because of her or not, the fact of the matter was that it was way too dangerous and he wouldn't allow it to happen again.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath in and shook his head to clear his mind, to increase his defences against her so that he wouldn't fall for her antics again. Once he felt his mind was in full control, he washed his hands and face and headed out to the room again, ready to face the upcoming battle.
However, all of his preparation was for nothing because he walked in to see that she had escaped the cocoon and was sprawled out on the bed, sleeping like a log. A very noisy log.
He couldn't help but chuckle as he heard snoring in a very unladylike manner. She really did not act like a lady at all, even while she was asleep! Kai looked at her sleeping face for a second longer before he moved again.
Sighing, he pulled her limbs back to her side of the bed so that he had room to lay down on it. He then took the covers that she had kicked off the bed and covered her up to her neck before he lay down on the other side of the bed. He closed his eyes but his mind wouldn't stop running.
Not only was he thinking about what they had just done, it was also in turmoil over whether or not she had actually regained her memories. He really hoped that she did not because if she did, then they were in for a world of trouble. How would they explain to her how her memories of all of them were erased from her mind, not to mention Abi's family as well. She would definitely think that something funny was going on and she would be right.
He had no idea how he would deal with that at all. His mind thought about just spilling the truth to her, no matter how impossible the story might be. What would she do? How would she take it? Could he really do that to her? Put her in danger for the rest of her life?
His eyes opened, startled at the thought. All this time, he had been trying to avoid Miss Hooligan because he knew she would just be trouble. All their encounters had proven that to be true. Every time they met, he would become very frustrated because of her forwardness. He felt like it was a man's job to chase after a woman but she was always the one making moves on him.
