CHAPTER 31

　　HAILEY

　　After our dinner, he suggested he would do the cleaning. Even if I wanted to argue, knowing Percie, he would end up winning.

　　I started reviewing my notes while I could hear him talking to his grandpa over the phone. I kept my door open if he ever wanted to say good night before he slept.

　　An hour later, the light from the living room turned off. I was done with homework as well. I checked my phone and I found three messages from Percie.

　　Percie: Wanna talk for a while?

　　Percie: Sleeping?

　　Percie: Night then, sweetheart

　　Hailey: Night then

　　Percie: Can I come over?

　　Hailey: You’re just behind the door

　　Finally, he emerged, looking hot in his sweatpants and a shirt. He never ceased to amaze me.

　　“Hey.”

　　“You’re doing your homework?” He checked my desk behind me.

　　“I’m done, actually.” I stretched my arms. “And you?”

　　“I did a quick read on the couch.” He pulled me up and stared at me that made my legs wobble. My entire body came to life.
