Caught While Wet

Anna blinked her eyes, she used her hand to hold her aching head.

"Aww...." Anna groaned holding her head. She had a hangover.

Slowly Anna changed her position into a sitting position, after that Anna realized that she was not in her room. Anna looked around every corner of the room to make sure she was there.

"Axel...." Anna whispered. Even though she hasn't set foot in Axel's room in a long time,

Anna knows this is Axel's room. Nothing had changed in this room since the last time Anna knew. Then Anna turned to the side to look for the master of this room but there was no one there.

"Where is he? Is he in the bathroom?" Anna muttered to herself.

Anna felt a little wary so she checked her condition. Anna opened the blanket and found that her dress was still neatly attached to her body, there was no sign of anything wrong.

Anna rubbed her chest in relief. No one seemed to be taking advantage of her being heavily drunk last night.

"Sleeping in a dress like this? No wonder I feel uncomfortable." Anna muttered.

Anna removed the thick blanket that covered half of her body, then she got out of bed. She had to take a shower immediately to relieve his dizziness.

Check.

Someone opened the door of Axel's room from outside, Anna turned towards the door. Anna thought the person who opened the door was Axel but it turned out to be….

"Are you awake, honey?" Caroline asked as she walked closer. In his hands, he carried a tray of hot drinks and biscuits.

"Mum," call Anna.

Caroline put the tray on the table and then she turned to hug Anna, Anna immediately returned the hug.

"You are okay?" asked Caroline.

"Yes, I am doing okay," Anna replied then their embrace was released.

"Axel told me to bring you some honey tea, I was so happy to know you were in this house."

"I'm happy too, Mum. I promised to visit you guys on the weekend but I didn't think I would come here in this condition" Caroline chuckled.

"Whatever your situation, you are still welcome in this house, Dear."

"Thank you." Anna hugged Caroline again briefly.

Caroline took a glass of honey tea that she had brought and given it to Anna.

"Here, you drink the tea while it's still warm." Anna accepted it and drank it immediately, coincidentally Anna also needed a warm drink.

"As soon as you shower, we'll have breakfast together."

"Okay, Mum."

"Looks like Axel is looking for clothes for you, maybe he'll bring it here soon."

Anna nodded.

"I'll go down first."

"Yes, Mum."

Removing a dress of this size alone made it difficult for Anna, but there was nothing Anna couldn't do.

Everything can be overcome. After Anna struggled to remove the dress, it was time for Anna to soak in warm water in the bathtub. It feels comfortable and relaxing.

Anna buried her head in the water many times, trying to get rid of the dizziness. After using the soap and rinsing it off, Anna had had enough. It's better now.

Grabbing the towel that was slung in its place, Anna wrapped it around her body, and then she came out of the bathroom. But unfortunately, Anna had to find Axel standing near the bed with Anna's condition only wrapped in a small towel that could only cover her sensitive parts.

Not only that, but unfortunately, Axel turned his gaze to look at Anna without even blinking.

Group!

Axel struggled to swallow his saliva because as a normal man of course his lust would be provoked when he saw a scene like this.

"W-what are you doing there?" Anna asked nervously.

"I'm just delivering your clothes," Axel replied carelessly.

"Just put it in there and you're out," Anna said quite loudly. She moved quickly to go back into the bathroom and let Axel disappear, but unfortunately, Anna slipped and lost her balance.

"Anna, watch out!"

"Aahhh...!"

Luckily Anna didn't fall to the floor. As if he had anticipated something like this, Axel quickly approached Anna after previously pulling the blanket from the bed. Axel caught Anna's body with one hand, then he used the other hand to wrap the thick blanket he was carrying around Anna's body. Now Anna is more secretive.

"What are you doing?" Anna asked as Axel lifted his body.

"Carrying you to bed. Didn't I do this last night too? Ah, I feel like I'm having deja vu." Axel said very casually.

He didn't realize his words managed to make Anna nervous with hot cheeks. Anna hid her face in Axel's chest.

Axel sat Anna on the edge of the bed.

"You should be more careful next time. If it wasn't me, you might be in trouble at an opportunity like this."

"Go!" Throw Anna away.

"Ha? You're not thanking me?"

"I said get out, Axel!"

"Anna—"

"Go out!" Anna said one last time. Anna had already picked up the desk clock and pointed it at Axel.

"Okay-okay I'm out," Axel said quickly before the table clock flew over him. Axel walked quickly out of his room.

Anna held her cheek as the image of what happened earlier didn't want to leave her memory. Anna's heart was pounding erratically.

"Shit! What's wrong with me?"

Anna got off and walked towards the dining room. There were already Caroline and Axel.

"Good morning, Anna," Caroline said.

"Morning, Mum." Reply to Anna.

"Where's Daddy?" Anna asked who had not seen her father.

"Daddy's here, honey." Said James who was walking towards the dining table.

Anna immediately rushed to hug James, who was still handsome even though he was more than half a century old.

"You miss Daddy?"

"Yeah, I missed you so much, Dad." Reply to Anna.

Anna and James let go of each other's arms.

"Then you should come here often," James said as he pulled up a chair to sit on.

"Yeah, if Axel doesn't bother me with a lot of work on the weekends." Replied Anna also sat down. Anna chose to sit beside Axel.

"You still have Anna work on the weekends, Axel?" James asked.

"Yes, sometimes." Axel's reply didn't cover it up.

"Not again. Weekends are Anna's time with Daddy."

"And Mommy." Connect Caroline.

Axel shrugged. "Yeah, fine. That can be arranged. But if there's a loss to the company don't blame me."

"You're threatening me?" James replied.

"Not."

"Ah, you two have the same attitude. Don't continue your argument or we'll miss breakfast." Caroline interceded.

Then the four of them laughed together.

Ahh... Anna hasn't enjoyed this company in a long time. Anna missed this house, this moment, and this atmosphere. It was her fault that she had not been here for a long time until the longing had piled up. But thankfully that longing has been repaid now.

It had been a long time since Anna left and decided to live alone in the apartment since then this kind of happiness has not been found. Anna gives her happiness in this house.

Axel's parents love Anna very much, it is often seen that they love Anna more than Axel who is his biological child. But Axel didn't mind at all. Axel felt he should be grateful because his parents had loved Anna with such sincerity. Wherever Anna is, Axel always prays for Anna to get the right kind of love. It doesn't matter whether he is or not who will accompany Anna for the rest of his life, Axel prays for Anna to receive love without having to hurt her in the slightest.
