Chapter 58: Waking up_ nestled against her chest

Mia stirred in her sleep but when she tried to move, there was an unexpected weight on her chest, with something holding her firmly in place. She frowned even before she opened her eyes. Was her cat laying on her chest as usual? She thought to herself, but strangely Robby was heavy today.

With her eyes still closed she raised her hand and tried to gently push the cat off her chest but then the cat on her chest... wasn’t moving away!

What was wrong with Robby this morning? She knew how the cat could be stubborn at times. He would sometimes even sleep on top her head if he wanted to. But today, he had decided to sleep on her chest, but then as she attempted to move, an unyielding force resisted her every effort. Too lazy to open her eyes, she used her hands to trace the outline of the thing on her chest. She froze when she felt something like a person’s head.

Wait...this wasn’t her cat!

With panic, Mia finally forced her eyes open, greeted by the sight of an unfamiliar gray ceiling with glass walls that overlooked the night city. She froze as realization slowly began to dawn on her. She had left school with Mr. Bennett and he brought her to his condo. She took a shower, he offered her a job. Then the last thing she remembered was seeing that it was going to rain and she had to go home...what happened next?

Wait...she was still in his house and laying in a bed with something_or someone’s head on her chest!

As she peered down, her widened eyes met the sight of a tousled black-haired head resting on her bare chest. A gasp caught in her throat, and she cautiously observed the scene.

The black towel she had worn after her shower was now disheveled and laid on the bed, leaving her exposed without any clothes! And his head was literally nestled against her bare breast while he seemed sound asleep! His strong arm encircled her waist, and one of his long legs intertwined with hers, while there wasn’t a blanket in sight!

Mia’s panic escalated into a loud scream, breaking the serene atmosphere of the night. Without hesitation, she used all her strength to push away from him, causing him to tumble off the bed with a thud. She heard him curse as he hit the ground, but before he could get up, she had grabbed the towel and hastily wrapped it around her naked body.

When Neil finally got off the floor, where he had been pushed off his own bed, he was met with a pillow hurling towards his face. He dodged the pillow by moving to the side, but before he knew it, another pillow had been thrown and it hit him directly on the face this time.

"You pervert! How dare you take advantage of me in my sleep?! How could you have done this to me without my realization! I have reserved my virginity for the man I’d love and marry, but you took it away from me!" Mia cried out while looking for something else to throw at him in the moment of her rage. She couldn’t believe he had done this to her in her sleep when yesterday he had told her plain to the face that there was nothing interesting about her body. She had been hurt by the insult but was grateful that he wasn’t interested in her in such a way. But now...!

Mia angrily picked up an ash tray on the nightstand and raised it up to throw at him but her hand froze in midair as she met his murderous glare and darkened eyes. He stood beside the bed with his hands shoved into his pocket but his expression was as cold and aloof as a ruthless monster ready to kill anything that moves. And when he spoke, his voice was calm but was devoid of any emotions.

"Throw one more thing at me...and watch me make you scream your lungs out underneath me. I will make your accusation come true and show you what a pervert I am." He warned with his eyes locking onto hers In challenge. He hadn’t meant to even fall asleep when she was clutching tightly to him for her dear life. He had meant to get off the bed after putting her to sleep but he had unexpectedly fallen asleep along with her. Perhaps it was because of the rain but he had never enjoyed his sleep like he did today, yet only to be awoken by a scream and a person pushing him off his own bed.

Mia, who still held on to the ash tray in midair, slowly lowered it hearing his threat and seeing the challenging look in his eyes. Recalling his words, she realized he hadn’t done anything to her in her sleep, and not feeling any discomfort in her lower part, she believed nothing had happened. Her towel must have come off in her sleep. Furthermore, she realized it had rained which meant she had been traumatized of her nightmare playing in her head like a reality. He must have helped her through it and even put her to bed but she had accused him of rape, it was only natural that his ego as a man was hurt.

Mia’s cheeks reddened in embarrassment and her face heated up as the image of his head resting on her bare breast flashed to her mind. If someone had walked in on them in such a position, there was no doubt the person would believe what she had also believed when she first woke up. It was such an intimate sexual position that indicated that something had happened between them. But she knew nothing had happened and it was just a position they must have taken in their sleep.

"I...I am sorry..." She muttered softly while climbing down the bed and clutching tightly to the towel around her body. However, her apology did nothing to ease the murderous glare he was shooting her way from across the bed.

"You seem to have the habit of always calling me a pervert, don’t you? But let me warn you, little one, I am no saint, and the next time you call me that in my own house, I will prove to you how much of a pervert I can be when angered." Saying that, he stormed towards the bathroom, leaving Mia bewildered in the bedroom.

"Yeah, right, Ice cube..." She murmured to herself while glaring at the closed bathroom door. And Immediately she heard the sound of a pouring shower and knew he was taking a shower. How many times did he shower in a day? Obviously they were still in the same day from when he brought her to his house, and...it was night!

Mia panicked realizing it was night already and she hadn’t gone home. Her mother must be sickened with worry. Thinking about this, she rushed out of the bedroom and went to the living room where she’d dropped her bag with her phone in it. Bringing out the phone, she was met with 37 missed calls from both Owen and her mother, including Rayne!

Looking at the time, she also realized it was 11: 55 P.M. she had come to his house at around 2:00 in the afternoon but now it was almost midnight. Her mother would probably be thinking the worst at this moment when she hadn’t returned home.

Mia quickly decided to call her back and assure them that she was on her way home, but her phone just had to die at that moment.

"Shoot! I forgot to bring my charger." She ran her fingers through her messy hair and threw the phone back into her bag. She decided to just go home and explain to her mother what had happened. But then she couldn’t go home alone by this time of the night with just a towel!

Recalling that Leo had lent her his clothes earlier in the day, Mia hurried back to his bedroom. She realized he was still in the bathroom. Hastily, she picked up the gray shirt and trousers and quickly put them on. Mia felt like she was dancing inside his clothes. The shirt, which was meant to be a regular fit, appeared baggy and oversized on her. As for the shorts, Mia couldn’t help but chuckle at how ridiculous she looked. They were supposed to be shorts, but they reached below her knees. If it weren’t for the strings on the trousers, they would have fallen off her hips.

Despite the comical situation, Mia couldn’t afford to laugh or think about anything else. She was grateful that he had even offered her his clothes, especially considering what a hygiene freak he was and didn’t seem like someone to give people his things to wear.

Before long, he emerged from the bathroom and went into his closet without acknowledging Mia’s presence. She stood quietly on the side. He had offered to give her a ride home earlier in the day, so perhaps the offer still stood and he would take her home once he was ready. Unfortunately for Mia, when he emerged from the closet, he was wearing his nightwear.

Neil, who had emerged from his closet and was ready to return to sleep, was surprised to find the girl standing nearby, resembling a frightened mouse as she wore his clothes. His clothes made her appear smaller and...adorable. However, remembering how her persistent childish behavior of clutching to him in her sleep had forced him into taking a cold shower in the middle of the night to calm himself, his expression darkened and he averted his gaze, pretending not to notice her. She could watch him sleep for all he cares, but at this moment, he didn’t want to deal with her after what she had made him go through the whole day and night.

Noticing that he intended to ignore her and go to sleep, Mia quickly stepped forward and looked up at him with a pitiful expression. "Can you please take me home? I want_"

"No," he cut her off coldly, and prepared to walk past her, but she reached out and grabbed his arm. Feeling her cold fingers on his arm, Neil stiffened. He glanced down at her hand, and as if she had been burned, she quickly released him and said,

"Please. If I don’t go home now, my mom will be extremely worried. I don’t want to be the reason for her increased blood pressure. Please..." She pleaded softly, tears already welling up in her eyes.

Looking into her tear filled eyes, Neil closed his eyes and cursed under his breath. Why was he always unable to see her shed tears?

"Let’s go." Saying that, he walked to his nightstand and grabbed his car keys. This young woman was going to be the death of him before his mission was over in Ivy Grove!
