Chapter 341 She's Different When Drunk

Day Forty-One...

~~*****~~

Aiden was staring at the sleeping beauty beside him while smiling like a fool. His stomach fluttered as he recalled what transpired last night in Cherry's guest room.

*~Flashback~*

Aiden cursed himself inwardly as he got caught by Cherry. Their eyes met. Through the light coming from the lampshade, Aiden could see clearly her confused expression.

Cherry seemed like she was trying to identify him as she adjusted her vision. On the other hand, Aiden didn't know whether to flee or just stay as it is.The source of this content no/v(el)bi((n))

He was silently wishing that Cherry would close her eyes once more. But deep inside, his heartbeat was going wild and his body became rigid.

"Sleep Cherry. Sleep again. This is just a dream." Aiden murmured. He reached out, gently stroking her hair.

"Close your eyes..." he softly mumbled as if he was trying to hypnotize her.

But instead of closing her eyes, Cherry cupped his face using both hands, not allowing Aiden to look away. She tilted his head side by side, assessing his face from different angles.

Aiden could only hold his breath while staring at her anxiously. He already expected her to slap him but she never did.

"Handsome," Cherry mumbled, pinching his jaws.

Aiden was at a loss for words after hearing that compliment from Cherry. He blinked several times. He felt like his mind malfunctioned for a moment.

'Wait? Did I hear it right? Cherry called me handsome...' Aiden didn't know if he was just imagining things or not.

However, Cherry pulled his face closer then she lightly giggled. She wasn't sober. The effect of alcohol was still in her system.

"You have a feminine beauty for a guy. No wonder, Abi called you a flower boy." Cherry let out another soft giggle. Her forefinger poked his nose.

Then her finger moved down, tracing Aiden's lips. This gesture somehow brought excitement within him. 'Damn it. I feel like I could die right now. Is she trying to enumerate my good qualities?'

Cherry bobbed her head frantically as she gasped in anticipation. She even grinned playfully while rubbing her hands together.

Uncertain of what to do, Aiden stepped forward, closing their gaps. Before he could react, Cherry pressed her hands against his abs. She touched his body, pinching each bun.

Aiden's temperature rose and he suddenly felt hot. His cheeks and ears were also burning red. 'Why do I feel like I am getting harassed... but in a good way?'

Aiden bit his lips, holding his breath as Cherry continued to explore and caress his muscular body. Her fingers began tracing the outline of his buns. Aiden felt a ticklish sensation running throughout his body.

'Damn! This is torture.' Aiden slammed his eyes shut while clenching his fists. He was trying to suppress his desire which was being awakened by Cherry's touch.

'No! I have to stop playing with fire now! She is not in her usual self. I don't want to take advantage of her, otherwise, she will never forgive me.'

Aiden took a deep breath and pried his eyes open. He grabbed Cherry's hands to stop her from touching him further. Her hands almost touched the thing below his waist.

"Times-up, Sweety. Just go to bed and sleep." Aiden tried his best to keep his composure. But the burning desire was already apparent in his eyes.

Cherry shook her head stubbornly while pouting her lips. "No. I don't want to sleep. But if you want... lie beside me."

Cherry moved to the side, patting the space next to her as she invited Aiden to lie beside her.

Aiden was dumbfounded by her unexpected invitation. If Cherry was sober, he was certain that she would kick him out of the room, not inviting him to lie next to her.

Without allowing Aiden to refuse her, Cherry grabbed his hand and pulled him forcibly until he fell into the bed. She immediately hugged him, trapping him with both arms and legs.

And that was how they both ended up sleeping on the same bed, with Aiden not wearing anything on his upper body.

~End of Flashback~

Aiden was still in his daydreaming when suddenly the door of the room was pushed open.

"Aiden, you ungrateful brat, what the hell are you–" the man stopped talking after seeing Aiden and the woman in his arms.

"D-Dad? What are you doing here?"
