June woke up when the sun was starting to rise. She woke up feeling achy and dizzy. She touched her forehead and it was still hot. But in the kitchen, there was a noise like someone was in his apartment. June sighed, who else was there? Why was everyone free to go in and out of her apartment even though she had locked it tightly?
With great difficulty, June tried to get out of bed even though her body was very weak. The clock on the nightstand was eleven o'clock in the afternoon, which meant that she had missed dinner, breakfast, and now it was almost lunch time. June couldn't believe she had slept that long.
“Go back to your bed, June!” someone shouted from outside the room.
Uh? Isn't that his voice....?
June's guess proved right when the door to her apartme
Drake locked June's lips with his until he lay June's body on her bed. June tried to struggle, but in vain. Drake was too strong to hold June's tiny body. Drake only let her go when June was already lying on the bed. But when the warm kiss broke, June couldn't say anything. Even though since then she has had many swear words waiting to be spoken.Those beautiful hazel eyes looked at her gently. June was stunned. It felt like those hazel eyes had always looked sharp, but this time they looked so gentle. Maybe June had seen it before, but each time it felt like the first time."Go to sleep, June. I'll compress your forehead to ease your fever," he said. Still his tone commanded, but June couldn't say anything."What are you doing?""Hmm?" asked Drake as he picked up the to
June kept Alarick waiting in her apartment while she showered. She didn't enjoy the hot bath because it was too scary. June often saw scenes like that in horror films and she never imagined that she would experience it. June hastily finished her shower and then came out of the bathroom after getting dressed without looking in the mirror.She then dried her hair without looking at the mirror on her dressing table. Maybe for a while, June wouldn't dare to look in the mirror. She dried her hair as best she could then combed her hair without looking into the mirror, then went out to meet Alarick who seemed to be watching TV outside."Already done?" Alarick asked as June walked out of the room.“Yeah,” June replied, jotting down and sitting next to Alarick.For so
Alarick drove his motorbike fast but steady. June should have been afraid, because this was the first time she rode a motorbike, especially at such a high speed. However, I don't know what Alarick was that made June feel safe. Even so, June still hugged Alarick's waist tightly from behind. June felt the wind caress her unhelmed hair, and she started to enjoy it. "Don't be so tense, June!" cried Alarick, trying to beat the noise of the street. "Okay!" exclaimed June. Alarick smiled and June could see it in the rearview mirror. For some reason, Alarick's smile seemed contagious, making June smile too. June had only just met Alarick, but for some reason they seemed to have known each other for a long time. "We've arrived,"
“Alarick, I…”“I told you not to think about it,” Alarick replied with another smile. He always seems to be smiling, June thought.At the same time, a waiter suddenly opened the VIP door carrying a large tray containing their order."Dessert will be delivered last," she said, placing the order on the table. It's a different server. She was a woman, looking much friendlier than the rest of the restaurant employees. She was the only one who looked normal, like a normal restaurant waiter."Thank you," said June. The waitress smiled kindly and then exited the VIP room and closed the door tightly."I'll bet she must be a real human and real waitress, right?" asked June.
"What are you doing?" asked Drake."That's none of your business," Alarick replied."You know very well that's my business, Alarick," said Drake again."You forgot what I said earlier?" Alaric asked.The longer they walked closer and closer, it was only a matter of time one would grab the other's collar. June shuddered. It was inconceivable what would happen if two beings of extraordinary strength actually fought.“Drake… Alarick… Calm down,” June said, trying to stop them."What did you do with him?" Drake asked June now."Hey, I told you it's none of your business, Drake!"
"What?" June was flabbergasted at Drake's words.The man didn't seem to say anything strange, he looked relaxed. In fact, June had widened her eyes at those words.“You heard it clearly, June. Even if you think it's a mistake, I'd say it's a sweet mistake and I like it," Drake replied as he took a sip of his tea. His eyes looked at June with a gaze that seemed to be able to strip June at that very moment. June's heart skipped a beat at that. Especially after that, Drake suddenly approached June until the woman was cornered on the edge of the sofa. June was now trapped between Drake and the armrest of the sofa."Drake... What are you doing?" asked June. Her voice almost caught in her throat.June hated it because her body didn't respond according to her senses. June
“You really have gone mad, Drake!” exclaimed June."Maybe I'm crazy. But I'm not going to let what's mine go away from me," said Drake again."You think I'm an item?" asked June."I don't consider you an item, but you are mine," replied Drake. After Drake remembered everything, he didn't want to let June go forever."You are really crazy."June didn't know what else to say. Drake is hard to shake. Especially with the contract letter that has been modified in such a way. June couldn't possibly be able to pay the fine specified in the insane contract."So what's your decision? Can you pay 20x your salary in three days?” asked Drake with a smile.
June arrives at the office with Drake. As usual, June brought Drake's briefcase and headed straight for the elevator."Wait!" cried Drake, locking the car.He then walked quickly to June and took his briefcase from June's shoulder. This made June flabbergasted, but Drake didn't give June a chance to stay silent for long. Drake immediately walked ahead of June into the elevator and then glared at June as if telling her to hurry up. June had to jog and get into the elevator.Drake and June stayed silent in the elevator until they reached their office floor. When he walked in, June already felt that everyone was watching her. Several pairs of eyes watched Drake carrying his own briefcase. It felt like June wanted to snatch Drake's briefcase back from the man's shoulder, but that would feel really weird.
