Arsh was amused how Noor didn't fluster and pretended so smoothly. He felt like they were underestimating her too much.
"How long are you planning to pretend to be asleep?" He asked, whispering near her ear.
He watched her slowly flush red, squeezing her eyes, clutching the pillow. He almost thought she was going to cry but, "Couldn't you just help me with the act?" She mewled, really wishing to cry.
She was awake around dawn, she had thought she was dreaming like sleeping outside, under the sky so she hadn't thought much when an arm protectively wrapped around her, pulling her up on the pillow.
Facing him felt extremely embarrassing.
Since she wasn't afraid or disgusted but embarrassed, Arsh had no complaints. He offered, "Should I also go back to sleep and pretend to be asleep?" He questioned, propping his head on his fist, supporting his elbow on the pillow.
