Sleeping together

Because Sumba is seven hours ahead of London, as a result, Reagan only finished his work when it was half past three in the morning, which means that it was only half past eight in London and Jarvis, who had been connected to Reagan via zoom, had not showered because he was working straight away. The time difference was so vast it really tortured Jarvis.

"Okay then, I'm done with our meeting tonight..."

"Morning Reagan, it's still very early in London for activities!" An annoyed Jarvis immediately corrected Reagan's words quickly.

Reagan smiled. "But not at my place, you see it's not now in Sumba it's pitch black."

"Fuck you!"

Reagan burst out laughing at the curses given by his best friend and trusted assistant. "Ok…ok… I won't bother you anymore, now you better take a shower and get ready for work. I won't bother you anymore after this."

"Of course you can't bother me, because if you do I'll fly to Sumba and drag you back to London to finish your own work without having to keep ordering me around like this. I haven't even had time to wash Reagan's face and you're giving me a headache with a lot of work."

"Do you dare to follow me to this place?" challenged Reagan back with an annoying smile.

Instead of answering Reagan's provocative question, Jarvis chose to end the video link unilaterally and what Jarvis did immediately made Reagan burst out laughing. Teasing and seeing Jarvis angry was entertainment in itself for Reagan.

Reagan had just stopped laughing when he saw movement in the outside bed. As Crystal said this morning when they arrived at the resort, tonight Crystal slept in a different bed than Reagan. The bed located on the balcony of their room which would definitely feel very cold if used to sleep at night like this, the bed which was only protected by a transparent mosquito net that was so thin did not reduce the effect of the cold breeze tonight. And Reagan, who is currently feeling the cold night wind, is starting to feel guilty, he looks so restless thinking about Crystal sleeping on a bed that is so cold out there.

Reagan walked over to the bed where Crystal was lying soundly. Slowly, Reagan carefully removed the see-through mosquito net, his chest suddenly tightened when he saw Crystal's sleeping position curled up like a fetus in the womb. Looks like the blanket Crystal used to sleep in didn't work at all to protect Crystal from the cold wind tonight.

Not wanting Crystal to get sick, Reagan decided to do something crazy by moving Crystal into the room. Using the strength of his hands, Reagan managed to grab Crystal's tiny body from the bed and carefully carried her to the bedroom.

"You sleepyhead," Reagan said quietly. "How can you still sleep like this."

And Crystal, who was already feeling much more comfortable didn't give any response to Reagan's words, she just moved a little to find a more comfortable sleeping position. The warmth of the bed where she was currently made Crystal lulled deeper into her dreamland.

Reagan just shook his head at Crystal's behavior, because he couldn't hold his sleep any longer, finally Reagan decided to sleep with Crystal on the bed after closing all the doors and windows made of wood. The sound of the waves still heard clearly became Reagan's lullaby to dreamland.

***

Crystal would have screamed loudly if she hadn't covered her mouth with her hands, it was Reagan's presence lying beside her that made Crystal nearly make a fuss on this fine morning.

Crystal hastily then rushed out of bed and her destination was the bathroom, although she was sure that she was fine but Crystal still wanted to confirm directly that Reagan didn't leave any traces on her body.

"Oh thank goodness," Crystal said in relief. "That grumpy guy didn't do anything to me."

Knock…knock…

"Crystal are you in?!"

Crystal gasped in surprise.

"Y-yes..."

"Hurry up, I need to pee," Reagan said loudly again as he again knocked on the bathroom door, forcing Crystal to quickly get out.

Crystal immediately re-buttoned her pajamas before finally opening the bathroom door and finding Reagan standing right in front of the bathroom door.

"Get out of the way, I can't stand it anymore."

"Ah..y-yeah..."

Reagan immediately went into the bathroom as soon as Crystal came out, drinking too much while working with Jarvis this morning made Reagan have to give up his dream to end quickly because he had to finish his bladder.

"Oh what a relief," Reagan said quietly as he came out of the bathroom, Reagan not yet aware that Crystal was still staring at him without blinking. Crystal, who has managed to remember everything, is waiting for Reagan's explanation as to why she ended up with Reagan in the same bed.

"Why are you still standing there? Come in if you still want to use the bathroom." Reagan finally realized Crystal's whereabouts.

Crystal shook her head. "I'm not in the mood to use the bathroom, I want to ask you for an explanation."

"Explanation from me, what explanation do you want to hear?"

Crystal cleared her throat before she finally raised her hand up, pointing at the bed where the sheets were crumpled. "Why are you sleeping in that bed with you? I remember sleeping on the outside bed last night, what have you been doing? You're not trying to steal a chance in a pinch, are you?"

"W-what? Stealing an opportunity in a pinch? I did such a lowly thing?"

"The proof is that I woke up in your bed this morning, if it wasn't for you who moved me then who else? It's just the two of us at this resort."

Reagan raised one eyebrow. "Don't think too highly of yourself Crys, I moved you into the room out of pity. Nothing more than that."

"What?"

"I should have recorded last night how you were shivering outside so this kind of thing doesn't have to happen," Reagan said quietly.

Crystal frowned, she still didn't understand where Reagan was talking.

"I moved you into the room because I didn't want to bother myself, if you get sick from the cold after sleeping outside then of course I will be very bothered and I reiterate once again to you, even if you are naked on my bed I will not be tempted. So get rid of those bad thoughts of yours because I'm not as low as you imagine." Reagan continued his words in a tone of great reproach.

Crystal's cheeks immediately felt hot when she heard Reagan's words, Crystal immediately regretted having asked Reagan. The man who had saved her life was truly something.

"And now you better check the food in the dining room. After that, bring it to the room, I want to eat it after bathing. Sleeping with you makes me uncomfortable, the way you sleep is really terrible."
