Sometimes all you need is a good night’s sleep to forget all your worries and drift off into dreamland.
But for Gilbert, that was not the case. The bed was a mess, with the lingering scent of the woman who
had left him feeling more agitated than ever.
He tried turning the heat down, but still felt suffocated. In the end, he just pulled the covers down and
only covered himself up to his waist, baffled at why the woman was so cold when he himself was
sweating.
With the lights turned off, the whole building was plunged into darkness. As he lay there staring at the
ceiling, he could not help but wonder why his feelings toward her were so conflicting. He both. longed
to see her and felt annoyed by her presence.
Normally, he would have been asleep by now, but tonight was different. He glanced at the clock,
realizing it was already 2 a.m. and he was wide awake. His mind was in turmoil, disturbed by the
woman’s presence even in her absence.
Suddenly, he heard a soft rustling from the office outside. His heart raced, not out of fear but out of
hope.
Is it her coming back? he wondered.
The footsteps drew nearer, and he remained still, watching as Kisa tiptoed in with the faint light of her
phone. She had not really left earlier, just waited outside until she was sure he was asleep.
The dim light revealed his lean waist as the blanket only reached his midsection. Men are really hot-
blooded creatures and never seem to get cold, Kisa thought to herself as she gently pulled the blanket
up to his shoulders and slipped out of her own coat to crawl into bed.
Mmm… this man in bed is just different, she mused as she nestled closer to him, feeling the warmth
radiating from his body. She could not help but admire his sturdy back, which resembled a mountain
range keeping others at a distance.
After staring at his blurry figure for a while, she could not resist the urge to hug him. She really wanted
to embrace this man, and she did so without hesitation. Suddenly, she felt his body tense up, and she
realized he was not asleep.
“You weren’t asleep?” she asked incredulously.
Gilbert turned over and lay flat on his back. “Weren’t you supposed to go back? Why did you come
back?”
“It’s already so late. I didn’t want to disturb the others by making noise,” Kisa explained.
“But you weren’t concerned about that when you first came out and cooked dinner,” he retorted
“Gilberti” Kisa was angry at his response.
In the darkness, Gilbert could not see her face clearly, but he could sense the annoyance in her tone.
He did not know why, but he wanted to shut her up.
She suddenly changed the subject.
“Are my cooking skills up to par?”
“Your food was terrible,” he scoffed.
Kisa laughed. “If it was so terrible, then why did you eat it all? Your actions speak louder than your
words, Gilbert.”
Gilbert sneered and said nothing. Kisa snuggled up to him, finding his embrace particularly warm.
However, he seemed to dislike her presence, and pushed her head away.
“Please, I’m cold,” Kisa pleaded, hugging his arm tightly.
“Endure it, and go back when it’s light outside, Gilbert retorted.
“I can endure it, but what about our baby?” Kisa reminded him.
