Chapter 203 - A Moment Together; I Say, Do Nothing...

Wales rushed into the bathroom as soon as his father left the room. When he opened the door, Mimi's body fell on him and he caught her immediately. She was already asleep, so he carried her into the bed and placed her on it gently. He was careful enough not to distract her sleep.

Wales sat on the bed and watched her as she slept. He brushed her hair aside gently and smiled. It was as if he couldn't get enough of her. He just wanted to keep staring at her forever.

This feeling of wanting to be closer to her was Wales' first time in a long time. He was someone who knew himself very well. He was in tuned with himself and was clear about his feelings.

Watching her as she slept, he came to a conclusion.. He liked her!

Mimi stirred on the bed and lifted her hand, placing it on Wales' hand. She pulled herself closer and placed her head on his hand and continued to sleep. She was oblivious to her own actions.

Wales curled up after his hand almost became numb. He was also feeling sleepy so he laid on the bed closer to her. After a while, he too fell asleep.

…..

Mimi furrowed her brows in her sleep. She stretched her hand and touched the pillow by herself.

''Mm, when did the pillow become this big? Weird! This pillow felt a little hard'

Mimi kept touching the pillow with her hand. Unbeknownst to her, Wales opened his eyes at once when he felt the constant touching. He saw Mimi's head on his chest and gulped.

He suddenly felt hot.

Mimi's hand traveled to his face and she touched his face and was about to touch his eyes when Wales decided to speak.

''If you are awake, get up. We need to think about how to get you back to your room''

''Mm?'' Mimi heard the voice and opened her eyes. She was shocked to find herself laying with almost half of her body on Wales' chest. She stretched her body up, meeting his gaze.

Dub… dub

Budum… dub… lub dub…

The sound of their heartbeats increased when their eyes met. It was as if their heartbeat was synchronized to make it beat together at the same time.

Their eyes remained on each other.

''I find this posture extremely enticing but my hand and body feels numb'' Wales managed to speak.

Mimi tried to get up by placing her hand on his chest for support, but her legs that were between his legs gave way and she ended up falling back on him, but this time, her lips landed on his.

A moment of silence. They both looked at each other, seemingly in shock of what just happened.

Mimi rolled back and fell down from the bed at once. Wales sat up and turned to her.

''Ah'' Mimi touched her back, feeling the pain.

''Are you… alright?'' Wales asked.

''No, it hurts'' Mimi said and Wales stood up and stretched forth his hand.

''Let me help you'' Wales said to her.

Mimi held his hand and Wales pulled her up. She stumbled and crashed into his chest. Wales' hand slipped down to her waist and he held her securely.

Mimi blushed as she looked at him. Wales smiled and asked, 'you are really making it difficult for me to stay away''

''Huh?'' Mimi stepped aside and bowed, apologizing, 'I'm sorry. That was a mistake. I didn't mean to… I waited for you but because you didn't come, I ended up falling asleep. You shouldn't have woken me up''

''I understand''

''Huh? What… what do you understand?'' Mimi asked with a confused gaze.

''The kiss was a mistake, I understand. That is tied now. Yesterday, I kissed her and this morning you kissed me. That makes it tie for us''

''Huh? Was yesterday really a mistake?'' Mimi asked. She looked somewhat disturbed.

''That…''

''I should go to my room now'' Mimi turned away and walked to the door. She opened it slightly and looked at both ends of the hallway before hurrying to her room. When she was about to go into her room, someone took a few pictures of her from the next door. Denis came out after Mimi went inside. He had seen Mimi leaving Wales' room in his clothes. He looked at the pictures in his phone and smirked.

Wales closed his eyes and cussed himself before sitting down. That definitely came out wrong. He was just saying that to prevent things from becoming awkward but it seems not that things were going to be even more awkward.

….

City X.

First Hospital.

Operation Room.

Natalie, Mikael, Alice, Xia and Alice walked with Solace as she laid on the stretcher to the door. Natalie kissed her mother, wishing her a successful surgery.

''Mom, I will take you to eat your favorite seafood once you come out''

''Aunt, I reserved tickets to my drama. I will send you to watch it once you come out'' Alice spoke.

''That's enough, you two. I am just going in for a surgery not a war. Don't worry, I am stronger than this''

''Definitely! Mom, let's see ourselves later''

''Alright''

''We will not take the patient inside'' the nurse said before they pulled the stretcher inside.

''Sister, shouldn't we tell Mimi about it?'' Alice asked Natalie.

''Speaking of the devil…'' Natalie looked at the incoming call from Mimi and chuckled before answering.

''Do you have the nose of a dog? I was just talking about you''

''Sis, can I ask you something?'' Mimi asked over the phone.

''What's wrong with your voice? Are you sick?''

''No, I just have a little cold but I'm fine. How is everyone?''

''We are all fine. Tell me, what do you want to know?''

''Sis, if someone kisses you two times and then tell you it was a mistake, what would you do?''

''Who kissed you two times and said it was a mistake? Which bastard did that? Tell me, I will go over there and kill that person''

Everyone turned to look at Natalie when they heard what she said. The curious Xia and Alice rushed to her side to eavesdrop on her call.

''It's not me. It's a friend. A friend called me to say that someone she has known for a while now kissed her two times but said it was a mistake. I wanted to know your thoughts. You know I haven't really fallen in love before''

Natalie looked at the faces of Xia and Alice and they smiled. ''Oo, so a friend got kissed two times by the same guy? Mimi, who are you kidding? You don't have any friends''

''Aye, can you just tell me what it means?''

''Who kissed you? That should be considered your first kiss, right? Whoa, who had the guts to kiss you two times and said it was a mistake?''

''Someone, you don't need to know. Oh, someone is at the door. I will call you later'' Mimi hung up the call.

''Who kissed Mimi?'' Alice asked curiously.

''She didn't say before the call ended'' Natalie turned to look at Mikael.

''I will go and get you ladies some coffee'' Mikael said and walked away.

''You said she went with Wales to his programme. There are two people who could have done that. Wales or another man'' Xia said as she went back to sit on the bench.

''Wales?'' Alice turned to look at Xia.

''Mimi is conservative lately. Unless someone approaches her, she wouldn't be the first to speak to someone. Wales is the only one she is free with over there. Who do you think it would be if not my cousin'' Natalie analyzed it further.

''Wales likes Mimi? Whoa!'' Alice exclaimed.

''You two, excuse me. I am going to call Mimi back.

….

Mimi opened the door and saw Diana. The latter rushed into the room and closed the door before removing her phone.

''Mimi, I didn't know you progress so fast with Detective Wales?''

''Huh? What are you talking about?''

''Don't act so innocent. Everyone knows about it already'' Diana showed the picture to Mimi and continued, 'someone uploaded this into our police forum this morning. It shows you leaving Detective Wales apartment in his clothes''

''This… who sent this picture into your forum?'' Mimi asked frantically.

''An anonymous person. I don't know who''

Mimi sighed. ''This is a total misunderstanding…'' Mimi started explaining what happened to Diana but of course she left the kiss part.

''Oo, so that's what happened? But now, everyone thinks you two are dating. Let me tell you something. This kind of scandals, you can never get out from. No one will believe you since the evidence is clear''

''Then… what do I do now?''

''I will say do nothing. Let it be''

''Huh?''

''Aye, stop delaying. The games are starting, let's go already'' Diana stood up from the bed and held Mimi's hand, going out with her.

When they opened the door, they saw Denis and two other male officers coming out of his room.
