Loving You Too Long Part 14
Nathan returned from his business trip after three days. His throat felt sore, and his head throbbed, blurring his vision. He asked the office driver to take him back home, leaving his car at the central office.The house was quiet when he unlocked the door. Aunt Jody was probably out shopping, he thought. Nathan chose to enter his room, too tired to bother changing his clothes, and fell onto the bed, instantly drifting off to sleep.Haisley had just come back from campus when she noticed the front door slightly ajar, with Nathan's keys still hanging from the lock. It was unmistakably Nathan's, yet she didn't see his car in the garage. With a soft shake of her head, Haisley pulled the keys and locked the door from inside, as she usually did. All of them—she, Nathan, Gilbert, and Aunt Jody—had copies of the keys, making it convenient for everyone to come and go.Speaking of Aunt Jody, the middle-aged woman had called her earlier, asking for permission to return home because one of her

Nathan opened his eyes; his headache had started to fade, although his body still felt uncomfortable. His throat still hurt when he swallowed, although not as intensely as before. Perhaps it was thanks to Dr. Willy's medicine, or it could be because of the porridge and soup that Haisley made.Thinking about her name, Nathan smiled to himself. He remembered the girl's face blushing when she helped him change his clothes and wiped his body with a warm towel. It was abundantly clear that she had never been that close to a man before. Nathan tried to slowly get up from his bed. He didn't want to wake her up; she was sleeping on the floor, propped up by her arms with her head resting on the side of the bed. Regardless of how sharp her words were and how cynical her gaze was, her attention to him was greater than anything else.Nathan couldn't help but wonder: what did this girl really want to prove to him? And more than that, he was curious about her feelings for him. Did she still have fe

Haisley felt her bed shake."Earthquake?" she asked, startled. Her eyes widened in panic. But as she tried to get up, intending to save herself, she felt her body being held by something hard but warm. Yes, Nathan's arms were wrapped around her tightly, almost crushing her. His body heat penetrated the thin clothes Haisley was wearing.It wasn't an earthquake; it was the vibrations caused by Nathan shivering in his sleep.Both their bodies were still covered by the thick blanket, almost up to their chins. And what surprised Haisley afterward was realizing that Nathan had now undressed, and his hair looked damp. But clearly, the dampness was not due to sweat. "Did Nathan take a shower while I was asleep?" she wondered silently.Very slowly, Haisley moved Nathan's arm away from her abdomen and got up from the bed. Her knees felt weak. After the pleasant dream she had just experienced, for some reason, her body felt tired, and she also felt sore in a few places.Haisley slapped her cheek

"But what you see is different from what you feel in person," Nathan said, not wanting to back down."Of course, Nath. I know that too. It's all just acting, except maybe if the video's title is a tutorial," she said and placed the plate on the dining table. Nathan grabbed Haisley's arm before she could go to the kitchen."Don't pretend that you're trying out what you've seen, Haisley," he growled. His grip on her arm tightened, making Haisley wince in pain. She harshly attempted to free herself from Nathan's grip."I've told you multiple times, Nathaniel, it's none of your business," she said, her tone as cold as ice. "I have my own rights to do whatever I want, and I've said that to you repeatedly." Her words were a reminder.Nathan stood tall in front of her, his head bowed to meet Haisley's eyes, which only reached his chest. His sharp gaze made Haisley afraid, but she tried to conceal her fear."I know you're experienced. Very experienced," she said softly. She looked back at Nat

Haisley glanced at her watch. It was already 15 minutes past the scheduled time Gilbert had promised her. Today, Gilbert had promised to introduce her to some of his friends from Indonesia. They were planning to organize their weekend getaway together. And now, Haisley was waiting for him to pick her up, but he hadn't shown up yet.Should she go to the meeting place by herself? After all, Haisley knew where Gilbert had arranged to meet his friends. But she was a bit hesitant. She was sociable, but when it came to dealing with men, she kept a bit of distance.She would wait for another ten minutes, she decided inwardly. Haisley chose to watch a movie on her phone while waiting.A tap on her shoulder made her look up. A chubby man was looking her way, nodding his head in the direction where a yellow sports car was parked not far from her. Gilbert waved at her with a broad smile on his face. After thanking the chubby man who had approached her, Haisley finally ran over and got into the p

Haisley sprinted from her classroom, glancing at her watch. She was over ten minutes past the time she had promised. All of this was because Mr. Flitwick had detained their class with a task that wasn't important, while Haisley was already pressed for time because today she and Gilbert, along with their friends, were going on vacation as they had planned. She opened her locker in haste, swapping her book-filled bag for a tote bag containing her skincare routine essentials that she would carry during the trip. She didn't worry about her outfit since her backpack would undoubtedly be carried by Gilbert.Haisley grabbed her phone and tried to contact Gilbert while running back to the parking lot, where Gilbert and their friends had promised to wait for her with the rented minibus. But after trying three times, her calls failed each time, as it seemed he was busy making calls to someone else.Upon reaching the parking lot, Haisley looked around anxiously. There was no minibus waiting for

Haisley was surprised to wake up in bed. The last thing she remembered was sleeping with Gilbert the night before. Perhaps Gilbert had kindly moved his body to another room. That's what Haisley thought. She stretched and groaned before getting up from her comfortable bed. Once again, she was startled by the presence of a man she had never imagined standing there, looking at her with his arms folded across his chest."N-Nathan? When did you arrive?" she asked, her forehead wrinkled. Haisley groaned inwardly. How could she look so disheveled while he appeared so perfect in his short-sleeved shirt and khaki chinos, his hair still wet from the shower."Shouldn't you be getting ready? We're supposed to have breakfast soon, right?" he replied.Haisley furrowed her brow again, not because of Nathan's words, but more to remember where she had put her bag. She quickly got up and went to where she had left her bag last night. Then she brought the bag back into the room, placing it on the bed an

Gilbert's group of friends arrived, each carrying drinks and food in their hands. They placed them on a table not far from their reach. "This is truly a fantastic vacation, G," exclaimed one of Gilbert's female friends, if I'm not mistaken, named Reia."Say thanks to my brother, guys," that was Gilbert's only response. "We'll be staying here tonight. There are four rooms, and you can divide them among yourselves," Nathan said, expressing gratitude on behalf of Gilbert's friends. A chorus of amazement followed. "Don't worry. We won't run out of food until we head back tomorrow," Nathan replied again.Lunch came suddenly. They were served steak and salad. Imagine eating the best beef in the middle of the ocean beneath the roar of waves and strong winds. And don't forget the occasional waves that made the yacht sway. How do you feel? Haisley chose the word 'nauseous' to describe it all.Her stomach churned. Her body had been continuously drenched in cold sweat since earlier. Even the sir
