In The Same Room

Nicholas walked after Natalie like a duckling following its mother. The rain had no sign of abating, and at this rate it was likely to stay longer than expected. Nicholas is of course happy, he will not waste the opportunity to get closer to Natalie. As for Natalie, her feelings were now mixed as to whether bringing Nicholas home was the right decision.

And when they reached the door of Natalie's room, she remembered that her room was a mess and not for guests to see.

"W-wait! You can't come in," Natalie exclaimed frantically, which naturally made Nicholas raise one eyebrow, confused.

"Why?"

"I-I have to tidy up the room a bit, wait here for a moment," Natalie replied with a stiff smile. She opened the door to her room slightly, went inside, and immediately closed the door so that Nicholas would not come into her very messy room.

Natalie looked at the messy state of her room, she did not clean her apartment room every day because she was lazy. Oreo, the cat immediately ran over when she knew she was home, with lightning speed, she cleaned her room starting from the living room, where a table was full of food waste, not to mention the bed clothes lying here and there. Natalie would indeed be a very lazy woman when her mood was really down and she did not want to do anything.

Oreo just stared at her panicked mistress and continued to walk back and forth cleaning the entire room in her apartment unit. Finally, half an hour had passed, everything was done. The room was neat and clean again. Natalie was still breathing heavily from exhaustion, she wiped her sweat.

"I feel like getting naked, it's so hot," she muttered as she lifted her shirt slightly. "Ah! Nic is still waiting outside!"

Natalie quickly walked over and opened the door, Nicholas was still there. Leaning against the side wall of Natalie's room.

"Ni-nicholas, it's done. You can come in now," Natalie said, feeling bad for making Nicholas wait outside for so long.

"Have you finished cleaning the room?" Nicholas asked with his usual flat face.

"Y-yes."

Nicholas walked into Natalie's room, a little amazed and nervous that he was in the same room alone with Natalie. He knew that Natalie had rejected him weeks ago, but Nicholas still loved her. It was not easy to completely forget and let go of Natalie, maybe she still did not understand why Nicholas wanted her so much. Even Nicholas did not know why he was like this.

"Ah, is that Oreo?" Nicholas asked with a straight gaze at the brown and white cat sleeping sweetly on the sofa.

"Yes, please have a seat," Natalie said invitingly.

Nicholas walked over to Oreo and sat down on the couch next to the cat, who was sleeping in a circle. Nicholas stroked Oreo's head gently, he was reminded of Ash. His cat was now alone in the spacious penthouse.

"Nic, can I take a shower first?" Natalie asked as she undid the hair tie, her beautiful shiny black hair was flowing beautifully, making Nicholas hold his breath for a moment because he was mesmerized by Natalie's beauty at this time.

"Sure," Nicholas said simply as he smiled faintly. He could not take his eyes off Natalie.

Natalie turned on the television and brought some snacks that she had just bought. "Just a moment, okay?" Natalie smiled so sweetly that her dimples were visible. Then she went into her room to clean her sticky body from the quick work she had done earlier.

Fifteen minutes later, Natalie came out of the bathroom with a clean and fragrant body. She hummed happily with the towel still wrapped around her body. Natalie grabbed the clothes she was going to wear without a second thought. Black shorts and an oversized t-shirt. The clothes she wore every day were so comfortable. She left the room after drying her hair.

Natalie looked at Nicholas, who was now holding Oreo, her cat looked comfortable on the man's lap.

Nicholas now turned to Natalie and said, "Are you done?"

"Yes," Natalie replied briefly as she walked over to the man and sat beside him. "Do you want to take a shower too?"

"I didn't bring a change of clothes," Nicholas replied as he petted Oreo lightly.

"Ah, right." Natalie looked at the sky from the balcony, it was still raining heavily. Natalie even wondered if the rain would stop the next day.

Natalie felt a little sorry for Nicholas, she wanted to lend him some clothes but she just remembered that she did not have any large clothes that would fit a man like Nicholas. Even the clothes her brother left here would not fit him.

"You can take off your hood, Nic," Natalie said.

"Oreo will wake up."

"Let me carry Oreo," Natalie took over the sleeping Oreo, and Nicholas just gave in. He took off his hoodie, which caused his shirt to rise. Natalie turned her face away when she saw Nicholas' sexy stomach which was slightly visible.

Nicholas put his hoodie on the edge of the sofa, leaning his body forward while looking at Natalie for a long time. Of course, it made her nervous and tightened her hug on Oreo even more.

"Nat," Nicholas called in a heavy, polite voice that sounded in Natalie's ears.

"Yes?"

"I want to do something with you," Nicholas said, making Natalie frown and look confused and suspicious. What did Nicholas mean? Why did his words sound ambiguous?

"W-what do you mean?"

"What do you think?"

Natalie looked at Nicholas more suspiciously and then slightly away from the man. Of course, Nicholas was confused and realized that Natalie must be thinking the wrong thing about him. The man laughed softly and patted the sofa as he said, "It's not what you think. Don't stay away from me, I'm getting hurt."

Suddenly Natalie's cheeks flushed albeit faintly. "What do you think I think of it?"

"Hmm, I don't know. But something naughty, maybe?" Nicholas replied as he stroked his chin and glanced at Natalie with a lopsided smile.

Natalie's heart was racing, Nicholas was really very handsome right now. No, from the start this man's good looks were beyond human limits, but what Nicholas was doing now broke down Natalie's defenses a little.

'No, Nat, don't be weak, remember your job as a host can withstand all the temptations of any man!' Natalie kept convincing herself not to fall easily in front of Nicholas.

However, the reality was very difficult. Nicholas suddenly brought his body closer, narrowing the distance between them. His sky-blue eyes were now staring intensely at Natalie, while she seemed to lose her mind and remained silent when Nicholas was so close to her.

"Nat, until now, I still can't forget about you."
