16 Chapter 16

His jaw tightened and I could see in his eyes the intense anger at me for no apparent reason. If there is any anger between the two of us, it must be me and not him!

"I don't want to sleep with you. I'm just on the couch," I declared.

He sighed. "I'm the one on the couch you sleep there in bed," he said just to surprise me.

"And if you want to take a bath and get dressed, just go through that door," he said, referring to the door on the right side of the bed.

"What about my undergarments?" I asked.

He smirked. Stared at my body as if I were naked in that stare of his. J*rk!

"I think the bra and undies in the first cabinet that you will find inside there at the door will fit to you. There is also a sleeping bag there that you can use and don't worry, all the women's accessories you'll find in the cabinet I mentioned haven't been used twice just once."

"And you want me to use the things that others have already worn?" I can't believe I asked him this.

He just shrugged his shoulders.

"What's the problem? You're hitting on the boyfriend of someone, aren't you?"

I clasped my hand. I'm not in the mood to fight with him but he doesn't want to stop insulting me. He really tests my patience.

"Don't you have money to buy me new things if you plan to take me to this place?"

"If it's just money, you know I have a lot of it. And do you think we can still buy on stores at this time?"

I didn't even look at the clock hanging on the wall of his room.

It's half past eleven! That fast!

"Let's stop this conversation," he finally whispered as if he had nothing more to do.

"You can refresh yourself," he said.

"Make yourself at home. I'll just go down again to talk to Jaime."

I didn't answer until he came out and pulled the door shut. I took a deep breath and approached the door he said earlier then opened it. As he said, I looked at the contents of the first cabinet that opened up to me. Folded undies and bras in expensive brands startled me. I moaned in annoyance. To whom are they? With his girlfriend? My annoyance only increased more than I thought. I violently pulled out a white towel and went straight to the bathroom. I would have like to soak in the bathtub but I have to hurry taking a shower because maybe what else can that man think and go after  me into this bathroom. I dried my hair with a towel then set it aside and left the shower room.

I quickly put on a bra and undies then took a nightgown to the cabinet. It was a simple black night dress. I turned around then and came out of that room with the towel I was wiping in my hair.

Kris was gone after I left. I tampered with his aircon and turned it on. I still get hot even though I'm just taking a bath. Maybe it's also because of the ever-changing new climate. I turned on the bed then on the couch. I didn't know where I could lie down so I remained standing until the door opened giving birth to Kris, newly bathed. He was wearing only jogging pants and a gray t-shirt. He was still holding the towel wiping his hair that was still dripping. I don't know because I just realized I was just staring at him.

"I'm afraid, I might melt." He said in an amused tone without even looking at me.

My cheeks warmed at what he said. It was very obvious that he knew I was staring at him. I quickly grabbed a pillow from the bed while he was not yet sitting on the couch. I approached the couch not far from him while hugging the pillow.

"I'm just here on the couch and you're there in bed," I said. He just frowned at me.

"That's your bed. and I know you can't fit in here on the couch," I added.

He laid the towel he had wiped in her hair on the table before turning to me. He grabbed the pillow I am hugging.

"Will you stop protesting and just follow me?" he said in a rebuking voice.

"I'm here on the couch to sleep and you're there in bed," he said then lifted the t-shirt and took it off in front of me.

What the h*ll?! "W-What are you doing?" I asked him in a panic.

"What do you think?" he answered seriously .

He will sleep so he doesn't have to undress for Pete's sake! "Y-You don't have to ... u-undress." I averted my gaze from his body.

"You want to undress me?" He said in a teasing tone.

I moaned and stared sharply into his face. He just laughed. "I'm not kidding on you Kris Alexandros Acuzar."

"Kalex," he replied. "What?"

"Call me Kalex. Kris Alexandros is too long."

I don't know if I will be annoyed or offended by what he said.

"I sleep without clothes on. But for your sake I will not take off the pants just my t-shirt," he said with a smile and then sat down on the couch. None of myself approached his bed and sat there as well. Three pillows are left there. I took one and unconsciously  embraced.

"Maybe you want to sleep without a bra. Go ahead, I won't look not like you stared at my body before."

I threw the pillow at him I was hugging.

He laughed when he caught it. "Just a little glance maybe." The registered grin on his lips is not going away.

I stared at the ceiling and moaned in annoyance. Ugh !
