Want To Sleep Together?
Natalie went straight to her bedroom, preferring to sleep. With Julia beside her, she kept her movements light so as not to disturb her.
For the next hour, she tried her best to fall asleep, but it was impossible. What's wrong with me tonight? she thought in frustration. Maybe I should drink some water.
She sat up in bed, making sure Julia was still deep in sleep. The water jar on the bedside table was empty, and she frowned, realizing she'd have to go out to the kitchen. He must have gone to sleep by now, she reassured herself.
When she stepped out of the room, the lights in the drawing room were turned off. Seems like he went to sleep.
She walked to the kitchen, only to be startled by the sight of a tall figure standing by the kitchen counter, illuminated softly by the night lamps.
He looked at her before she could change her mind and retreat back to the bedroom.
