Chapter 154 I’m A Gentleman

Day Fifteen…

~~*****~~

[ At Crimson Hotel… ]

Kathleen woke up with a throbbing headache. She didn't feel like getting up. She just wanted to stay in the bed and hugged her soft and warm pillow.

Kathleen shut her eyes once again and just continued hugging her pillow. What did she do last night to deserve this headache?

After a while, a recollection of her last night's memory flashed in her mind. She ran away from her cousin after getting upset and jealous because of Stephen.

She ended up going to the club. Then she drowned herself in beer until she got drunk. She remembered talking a lot to someone. But she couldn't recall the person's face. And after that, her memory was vague. She couldn't remember how she ended up in her hotel.

'Who brought me back?' She asked herself, slowly opening her eyes again. Forcing her eyes to stay open, she made herself stare at the ceiling, trying to recollect the memories she could remember.

She blinked several times only to realize that she was in an unfamiliar room. This place was different from Ramenx Crowne Hotel.

Kathleen's eyes went round and she struggled to sit up. "Where am I?"

She looked around and shifted her gaze to herself. She gasped the moment she found out that she was wearing an oversized white shirt.

"Where are my clothes?! Who changed me into this?" She pulled the blanket down to see whether she was wearing underwear or not. She heaved a sigh of relief when she found one. But the oversized shirt was not enough to cover the pair of her flawless legs.

Kathleen was still trying to figure out where she was when a husky but sleepy voice was heard from her side. "Good morning, pretty,"

Kathleen's body stiffened when she heard that unfamiliar voice of a man. 'Fuck! I was not alone. I'm with a guy?!' Her face contorted with panic-stricken expression.

Jack also sat up while rubbing his eyes. He was awakened by Kathleen's movement on the bed. When he looked at her, Kathleen immediately grabbed the blanket and covered her body up to her neck as she hid from him.

"Who the hell are you? What did you do to me? Did you take advantage of me last night?! I will sue you?!!" Kathleen tried to move away and grabbed some pillows, throwing those pillows at Jack.

Jack just lazily caught those pillows one by one as he watched her in amusement. "Aren't you feeling grateful to me at all?"

Kathleen stopped momentarily when she caught a glimpse of the stranger's upper body. Damn! He was not wearing a shirt. His well-toned body lay exposed before her eyes. He got perfectly sculpted six-pack abs!

She gulped hard after getting a good view of his hot and sexy body. 'Who is this man? He doesn't look bad!'

Jack still had messy hair but he still looked charmingly cute. Then she also noticed his two piercings on his right ear. He looked so cool with that. So manly!

"Cough! Cough!" Jack cleared his throat to awaken the woman who was dazzled by his masculine charm.

"Are you satisfied with my morning look?" Jack asked Kathleen with a chuckle. He combed his hair using his fingers.

Kathleen glared at him because of his shamelessness. "Stay away from me! Don't come near me!" Kathleen yelled at him as she continued to move backward until her back touched the headboard of the bed.

Jack just yawned and wiped his eyes clean before shifting his gaze back to Kathleen. She was so loud early this morning. Fortunately, she was pretty and cute so he couldn't bring himself to get mad at her early this morning.

"You don't remember what happened last night? Don't you remember your own actions?" Jack asked her while staring at her eyes intently.

For some unknown reason, Kathleen felt conscious under his penetrating gaze. What did she do? She couldn't remember.

"I can't… " She shook her head. "W-What did I do? Did something happen between us? Did we have… sex?"

Kathleen knew she could get crazier when she was drunk. Only God knew how crazy she acted last night.

Kathleen gazed at Jack anxiously. Her heart started to race from too much nervousness. Did she do something last night that she would definitely regret this morning? She was anticipating Jack's response, her fingers clutching the blanket tightly.

Looking straight into her eyes, Jack started to narrate what happened last night and what she did that they ended up sleeping together in that bed.

"You were so drunk last night that you couldn't tell me where you were staying so I had to bring you here. Because I am a gentleman, I can't leave a drunk woman behind…"

"And then?" Kathleen was holding her breath. She wanted to hear everything!

Jack sighed deeply, massaging his temples as he recalled what she did last night after entering his hotel room.

"You began stripping your clothes, leaving only your underwear on. I was trying to stop you but you pulled me down on the bed and…" Jack paused, leaving Kathleen hanging.

"And what???!" Kathleen asked him again, feeling impatient.

"You made me take off my shirt… you snatched it from me… and now, you are wearing it." Jack uttered helplessly, pointing his finger at her shirt.

Kathleen: "..."

She fell silent for a moment, trying to envision how she acted. She could be silly when drunk… and so demanding as well.

"Is that all?" Kathleen asked him again, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Jack just bobbed his head frantically. "Yes. That's all. Don't worry, nothing happened between us. We didn't have sex. Like I said, I am a gentleman and I will not force a drunk woman to have sex with me."

Kathleen just frowned, still eyeing him suspiciously. "Then why are you sleeping on the same bed with me?! You should have slept on the sofa if you are a true gentleman!" She retorted, doubting his words.

"Because you begged me to stay and lay beside you. You asked me to hug you until you fell asleep. You clung to me last night as if you didn't want to let go." Jack responded matter-of-factly.

Kathleen: "..."
