Fake Engagement ( Part 1)

Later in the evening, Adam returned home...

As he walked into the sitting room, he found June sitted on the armchair , in a pink night dress she bought from Jacqueline.

With an earphone over her ears, she hummed loudly to the song she listened to, loud enough that she couldn't notice Adam , who had been standing by the armchair.

She was so busy , filing her nail, prepping it to apply the purple nail polish she placed on the table. Adam seemed almost invisible , he had became angry as to why he appeared invisible to a guest in his own house.

" June, what are u doing?" Adam asked calmly.

The song got into June as she hummed louder , moving her head to the beat of the song.

Seeing this, Adam dragged the earphone off her ears perhaps, he wasn't in the mood to yell at her.

" What the hell? " June turned sharply towards Adam.

" Oh ! Adam! I meant to say , when did you get back? " she smiled like a teenager caught in the act of stealing.

" What do you mean by that , Were you expecting someone else ?" Adam asked with his eyebrows raised.

" No, of course not! ' June nodded .

" You didn't notice me when I came in , that means, you can be robbed without knowing it !" Adam tossed the earphone on the armchair.

" Come on, it's you , how could you possibly rob yourself ?" June smiled as she poked him in his waist.

" Awhhhh! " Adam yelled.

" So sorry, does it hurt?'' June asked ,with a sly smile .

" Don't ever play like that !". Adam warned.

" Sorry! " June kept a sad face.

" Is this some kind of salon , why are you doing this in the sitting room?". Adam asked , pointing to the object on the table.

" Well , I painted my room , so I couldn't bare the smell of paint everywhere !" She said as she started painting her nails.

"Did I give you permission to paint the guest room ?"

" Well, it's now my room and no longer a guest room , we agreed I can do whatever I want with my room !" Adam was speechless, he couldn't get how she had a thousand replies for a word of his.

" You know what , just don't do that anymore, the smell hurts my nose ! Go and get your nails done in the salon , tomorrow ! ". Adam said as he made to go to his room .

" But , I do this to pass time and I can do myself ! " June said . Adam turned and stared at her lustfully .

" Do you need a Job ? " he asked as he raised his jacket over his shoulder.

" Oh, yes , yes! How thoughtful of you ... You really understand me , am just so bored staying at home all day... !" June rushed to hug him .

Adam stopped her with his second finger pointed on her forehead.

" Your Job from now on is to read me bed time stories ! " June raised her eyes up .

" Huh ! ... Bed time stories, for a grown man , hahahahha! For you ? Adam ! You are so funny ! " She mocked him .

" What's so funny about it ! ... Hey , stop laughing !" Adam yelled. He was angry.

" Sooorry ! " June stared at the floor.

She couldn't meet his eyes as she tried hard to contain her laughter , she wanted to laugh loudly, roll on the ground and make Adam feel foolish but not now, she didn't want to provoke him.

" I'll see you in ten minutes !" Adam released her forehead as he made to his room.

June hit her head severally .

" Oh my God, that was hilarious ! bed time story for a grown man ! " she said to herself as she wiped a tear off her eye.

" In ten minutes, I can't go into his room dressed like this ... I have to cover myself ,yes !" She regained herself, ran horridly to her room.

Adam laid on his bed , in a pygamas , pressing his phone.

There was a knock at the door.

" Come in ! " Adam said. The door opened slowly , a slender figure appeared , covered in over sized pygamas.

" I said , you can come in ! " Adam yelled .

June hesitantly walked into the room and stood beside the bed staring absently on the floor.

" What are you wearing ?" Adam was surprised at what she wore .

Every part of her body was carefully concealed except her face .

" What the heck is all this coverage for?" Adam asked again. June still stared at the floor...

" For---for protection !" she muttered in a baby's voice.

" Huh ! Adam scoffed,

" For Protection... , he stroke his chin and moved swiftly towards her , dragging her into the bed with him .

He was too close to her for her liking. She could feel his warm breath blow rustily on her face. She noticed his tilted eyebrows and how sinister he looked.

" Adam , what are you doing? this is not the bed time you asked for !" She yelled , struggling farther away from his grip .

" You wore all this for protection, protection against what ?" Adam asked in a soft voice.

June gulped hard as she stared at his chest.

"I-i-i was feeling cold so I wore something to protect me from cold, yes!' Taking a deep breath, finally able to convince him.

" Really , a cold ! Wow ! ... Now that I remember , you didn't wait for me to get you. In the future, make sure to obey me ! " June nodded her head.

" No need for the bedtime story, let's create the best bedtime moment." Adam stared deeply into her eyes.

" I don't understand !"

" You will, sooner or later...
