In the morning, when Mirae opened her eyes, she gave a big smile and sat upright. She stretched her hands and took a big yawn... "Ahhh! I never slept this good in my life." She clapped her hands with a satisfied smile and pulled her open hair in a messy bun. Just as she was putting her hair inside the knot, she froze when her eyes fell on the man who sat on the couch with a laptop on his lap.
As her eyes met with James, she gave a sheepish smile and finished doing her bun.
"What brings you here, Mr. James?" She regretted asking this question because as soon as she asked it, her eyes fell on the interior of the room.
'This surely isn't my room.' Mirae shook her head and gave another sheepish smile.
James unfolded his legs and shut down his laptop screen. "I was wondering until how much longer you were going to sleep, Miss Mirae..." James stood up from his settee and placed the laptop on the dressing table. "Well, I am glad that you had a good sleep, Miss Mirae." He smiled and approached her.
Stretching his hand towards her, he said "Let's get you cleaned, Miss Mirae."
"Cleaned?" Mirae asked with a questionable gaze. Then something struck her mind and she immediately looked under the blanket. Her clothes were intact, and she didn't feel any pain. She took a deep sigh and James giggled.
"Were you thinking that I would do something to you, Miss MIrae?"
"Huh?" Mirae looked up at James and shook her head. She pushed the hair which was on her face behind her ear and got out of the bed ignoring the hand which was forwarded towards her.
As she began to walk, she turned around and looked at James. He was still standing there but when he saw her looking at him, he heard her ask "Umm... The washroom?"
"Uhh... yeah. It is that door." James shook his head and pointed at the door which was closed.
Mirae quickly walked inside the washroom, no, it felt like as if she ran. Locking the door behind her, she rested her back on the door and sighed. "WHAT DID I PUT MYSELF INTO? I SLEPT IN HIS HOUSE?"
Well, it was all futile to also go and ask him as to why she was sleeping in his house because soon Mirae remembered that she was the one to tell him to take her to his house. Mirae patted her cheeks trying to calm herself.
She looked at herself in the bathroom mirror and gave another long sigh. Well, she was all tidy and clean with no marks or whatsoever on her body or face. That was a good thing, but Mirae wasn't satisfied with it.
Mirae couldn't understand the reason, but she really wasn't satisfied with this. It was just like she was hoping for something to have happened between them.
She was so drunk that she could only remember that much. But did something else happen during the car ride or after reaching home? Mirae wanted to know that. At least if something happened, she would be able to satisfy her disappointed heart.
After washing her face and removing all those thoughts, Mirae walked out of the washroom.
And as soon as she walked out, James handed her a bag.
"What's this?" Mirae asked before taking the bag in her hand.
"These are some casual clothes. I'm sure you might be feeling too stiff with the outfit you are wearing so, I thought I should get you something to change into." James explained and gave the bag to Mirae.
Mirae gave a low bow and took the clothes in her hand. "Thank you. I will repay you soon, Mr. James."
"You don't have to. It is fine... I will be buying more clothes like this for you often." James mumbled the last line in his mouth.
Mirae walked inside the washroom and quickly changed her clothes. The clothes were more or so loose but that was fine. She kept her gown inside the bag and walked out. When she walked out, she saw James doing something on his phone. Maybe he hadn't heard her come, so, Mirae gave a sheepish smile and said, "It is a little loose, but I guess it is fine."
James turned and looked at Mirae who was standing in a black sweatshirt and faded denim jeans. The jeans were quite long for her cause they were folded from the ankles. And the sleeves of her sweatshirt were coming out of her wrists.
A giggle followed when James saw Mirae and said, "I guess I bought something quite loose."
Mirae waved her hands which were wholly covered by the long sleeves and said being a little embarrassed "I think it is fine."
After this, James gave a nod and again began looking at his phone. Mirae again tied her bun because it had opened. And when the room turned silent, Mirae felt like asking the question which she had thought of asking when she was in the washroom.
"Umm... Last night... Did we do something other than the kiss?"
