Chapter 500 Stay With Him Tonight



Day Fifty-Seven...

~~*****~~

Nathan was in the middle of this heated passion when he heard a loud thud. At first, he didn't mind it. But the noise continued. It became louder and louder. It turned out the wind was blowing outside, hitting the windows thus creating a loud sound.

Nathan snapped his eyes open only to realize that he had woken up from his hot dream! He blinked his eyes several times while looking at the ceiling, trying to steady his breathing. He felt so hot and his body was sweating profusely.

He sat up and looked around. He didn't see Jane. He immediately covered his face using both hands and groaned in annoyance. He didn't know what had gotten into him. Why did he dream of Jane? The most terrifying thing was that it was an erotic dream with the person he loathed so much.

He cursed himself over and over again as he felt his own body reacting to that dream. He pulled the quilt to hide his bulging erection. His little brother was awakened by that wet dream. Nathan didn't know whether to get mad at himself or feel embarrassed.

He was shocked beyond belief. He couldn't get over it so easily. He questioned himself why he had to think of her and even see her in his dream. The words which Jane exactly said to him in the cave, he heard those words again in his dream.

'Maybe... it somehow affected my subconscious because... I knew that I was the guy she was talking about. I'm Sizzling August.'

Nathan was still in his deep thoughts when he heard a knock outside his door. The knocking sound snapped him back to the present. He took his phone and checked the time. It was already 11:45 pm. Who was the person knocking outside?

Nathan contemplated for a moment. As he watched the door, Nathan's heart began to race. What if Jane was the person standing behind that closed door? He wasn't ready to face her after that erotic dream. Furthermore, his boner was still visible.

'It's best for me to ignore it. And just pretend that I am asleep.' Nathan thought to himself.

But curiosity won over him. He wanted to know who came to see him. Or perhaps, he was expecting to see someone. But Jane had no reason to seek his presence. As far as he knew, she was also upset with him. She was offended by his words as he doubted her sincerity toward Ethan.

'If the person who disturbed my sleep is either Aiden or Stephen... I will really scold them.' Nathan lazily got off the bed and made his way toward the door.

"Why are you outside? The wind is blowing and it's cold out there. Is your fever gone?" Nathan didn't mean to show concern for her but those words came out of his mouth naturally.

"Don't worry. My fever is gone. I'm feeling better now," Jane responded with a faint smile.

Nathan's eyebrow twitched as he pursed his lips. "Who said that I'm worrying about you?"

"Oh. Yeah. I forgot. You didn't care about me even a little bit," Jane murmured, hiding her disappointment.

The two suddenly became silent. They could feel the awkward atmosphere surrounding them. But Jane didn't want to go back to her room just yet.

"Ethan told me a while ago that he brought his laptop. May I borrow it? I want to play an online game to kill some time. I am not yet sleepy." Jane asked Nathan.

"Online game?" Nathan was reminded of his moment with Shining Star. Well, the woman in front of him was the Shining Star he used to know.

"Yes. An online game. I heard from Ethan that your company developed a new version of the online game I used to play with my friend, SizzlingAugust. Do you want to play a match with me? A duel?" Jane invited Nathan for a challenge. She wanted to grab this opportunity to spend time with him and prove to him further that she was the real Shining Star.

Surprisingly, Nathan didn't refuse. He immediately accepted her challenge. Besides, he knew that he wouldn't be able to sleep after that dream. And part of him wanted to see and remember how Shining Star played their games.

"Okay. Come in." Nathan invited her in.

Jane smiled inwardly, rejoicing. 'Even though we argue a lot... tonight, I just want to stay with him.'

There was a long couch inside the cabin. Jane sat there while Nathan picked up his laptop and Ethan's laptop. Jane silently watched him as he moved across the room.

Soon, the two settled down on their respective seats and started to play. Once the game started, the two became so focused. They lost track of time. Nathan was so engrossed in fighting Jane that he forgot to hide SizzlingAugust's playing style. Jane took that opportunity to test and corner him.

"Nate... why do I feel like... your playing style is the same as my friend. Are you SizzlingAugust?"

Nathan's body stiffened and his hands stopped moving when he heard her question.

'Damn! Did I give away my identity?'
