Natalie didn't know for how long she has been staring at Jian.
But she was startled when Jian suddenly opened his eyes and meet hers!
"Aahh!" Natalie shouted and her eyes went wide opened!
Her body almost slumped on the floor but fortunately, she was able to support herself with her arms!
"J-Jian!" She blurted out!
"I... I thought you're sleeping! " Natalie suddenly become nervous!
Jian narrowed his groggy eyes and tried to see clearly.
"You're home.." he said in a lazy voice when he recognized her.
"Uh, y-yes! " Natalie replied. "Why did you sleep here? Did you wait for me?" Natalie asked while fixing her self.
Jian did not reply but he stretched his arm and hold Natalie!
Natalie's body stiffened!
She can feel the warmth from Jian's palms, and she felt like she was electronize by Jian's touch!
"H-hey! Jian! Let go of me!" She said anxiously because she feel her heart is thumping so hard again!
But Jian did not listen to her.
He did not release her,but he pulled her into his embrace instead!
"Ahhh!" Natalie was startled!
"Hey Jian! " Natalie struggled and she tried to let go of her self!
But she did not hear any response from Jian, so Natalie looked up and saw Jian's tightly closed eyes!
'Is he only dreaming?!' Natalie asked her self.
Natalie thought that Jian is sleeping, so
she slowly lifted Jian's arm to freed herself from his embrace.
But Natalie was startled when Jian suddenly speak!
"Don't move... You're disturbing my sleep..." He said with his eyes closed.
Natalie froze and her body stiffened!
He's awake?!
Natalie thought.
Oh no! I gotta let go from his embrace no matter what happen!
"H-hey Jian, could... Could you please release me?" Natalie said in a faint voice.
"Why? Are you not comfortable with this?" Jian asked in a groggy voice again.
'Yes I'm not comfortable! I feel like my heart is going to jump out from my chest because of you!' Natalie thought.
"It's so cold, I just want to embrace you..." Jian added.
"Eh!"
No, no, no!
I might have a heart attack if I stay here for long!
Natalie secretly cried but she just keep it inside of her!
"Uh, no, no, no, Jian! I... I..." Natalie tried to find another excuse!
What to say, what to say! Natalie is so anxious! But she still try to find a way how to scape from Jian's embrace!
"Uhm... I... I'm going to pee!" Natalie said.
It's the only excuse that she can think because she can't concentrate due to her anxiousness!
"Oh! Can't you endure it for a while?" Jian asked..
"No I can't!" Natalie said.
"Alright! You can go now!" Jian said and he release her, but he's obviously disappointed.
As soon as Jian release her, Natalie quickly get up and run towards her room!
Jian raised his body and sitted on the sofa.
He tilted his head and his gaze followed the retreating back of Natalie.
There's a hint of smile on Jian's lips. "Nana, I'll make you realize that I am better than that Henry." he mumbled.
Natalie locked the door and she lean on it.
She was panting and her heart is still thumping!
'Oh! What's wrong with me?'
'Why do I become conscious when he's around?'
'Why's my heart is thumping so hard when I see him?'
Natalie patted her face and shook her head.
' Uh! I might be thinking too much!'
'Forget it Natalie, forget it!'
Natalie tried to set aside all her thoughts and she tried to calm down.
"inhale!"
"exhale!"
"inhale!"
"exhale!"
Alright! Natalie, forget it!
Everything will be alright tomorrow!
Natalie said to her self.
She thought that everything will be back to normal the next day...
But she was wrong!
Natalie entered the kitchen and she saw Jian!
Jian is currently cooking for their breakfast.
He is standing in front of the gas range, he is wearing a boxer short coupled with a semi fitted plain white shirt and he is wearing an apron.
His hair is a bit wet and messy indicated that he had just finished to shower.
Natalie feel like her heart skipped a beat and she feel like there are butterflies in her stomach!
"You're awake!" Jian said when he notice her.
Oh! he is wearing a smile on his face.
Natalie thought.
"Nana?" Jian flicked his finger on Natalie's face and it made her snapped back to her senses!
Natalie snapped back to her senses, " Huh?! "
"Are you alright?" Jian asked.
"Uh, y-yes! I am!" She replied.
My God Natalie! Why did you suddenly become speechless in front of Jian?!
Natalie secretly questioned herself.
"Did you--"
"Dingdong!"
Jian's word " Did you sleep tight" was stuck in his mouth when the door bell rang.
The two of them turned their eyes to the front door.
"Are you expecting a guest?" Natalie asked.
"Nope!" Jian shook his head. "It's still early, it might be Stephen." He said.
"Oh!" Natalie blurted out.
"Kindly open the door please, I will just finish to cook our breakfast."
"Yeah sure!" Natalie said and she headed to the front door.
"That guy is such an early bird!" Natalie mumbled.
She hold the door knob and opened the door while saying, "Why so earl---" Natalie was not able to finish her word when she saw tje person outside!
She didn't expect to see this person here in Jian's house!
Natalie's expression automatically turned cold!
Just by seeing this person will ruin her entire day!
