Despite all of Ben's attempts to get Nicole to leave his bedroom, Nicole refused to budge. He pretended to doze off, and was shocked when she adjusted beside him to go to sleep.
There was no way he could allow a lady to pass the night in his room, so he had woken up and asked her to go sleep in her room, but she had refused, saying it was too early for her to go to bed.
Now he was really exhausted and wanted nothing more than to get out of those frustrating clothes and have a bath so he could go to bed.
Joan had sent him a couple of texts already, wanting to find out how he was coping, and he was yet to respond to any because Nicole wouldn't shut up long enough for him to respond without seeking his attention.
"I want to take my bath," Ben said for almost the twentieth time, hoping that this time it would get her to leave.
