"I have a guestroom for a reason, you sleep there," he said.
"But... but...." she said.
"But what?" he finished.
"I hate sleeping alone, can we share your bed" she smiled with her eyes half closed.
"No," he said getting up.
Lina grabbed his robe getting up forgetting about her injured heel.
"Ouch" she cried in pain and Avril held her, "Why did you get up" he frowned.
Tears back in her eyes she said, "I just want to sleep with you is that hard to accept" cried Lina.
.....
After cleaning her wound Avril carried the half-asleep Lina up to his room, carefully laying her on the bed.
She groaned, "Does it hurt?" he asked.
"Mmm a little" she muttered.
"Then go to sleep, tomorrow we will get it checked," he said.
She smiled and closed her eyes going to sleep.
Avril got up and sighed but she held on to his robe again.
"What is it now?" he asked.
"Come sleep with me, time for bed" she chuckled.
Taking a deep breath Avril got into bed laying on the edge of the bed.
She turned glancing at him with a smile.
"Cold with a pretty face".
Avril turned to her, "I have done everything you asked can you go to sleep now"
She nodded closing her eyes. He kept stealing glances at her side waiting for Lina to fully go to sleep so he could leave but ended up dozing off too.
...
"Do you think he's sick?" Tony asked Richard.
Richard smirked, "We both know he doesn't do that"
"Then what happened, why hasn't he come out yet"
"I will go check then" Richard walked into Avril's home calling his name.
After not getting a reply he walked up the stairs and knocked on his room, silence was all he got.
Slowly he opened the door and froze in place.
Avril and Lina both asleep were holding each other while doing so. He frowned but then smiled taking out his phone.
After taking a few photos and sending them to his Avril's mother Richard knocked again on the door this time louder.
Lina moved and slowly opened her eyes then Avril followed.
"What's wrong?" asked Avril to Richard.
"Nothing, but what is going on with you two?" he chuckled
Lina sat up yawned and turned her head to Richard then back to Avril next to her. Richard smiled turned and closed the door.
His cold blue eyes blinked back and she instantly knew what had happened.
"I got drunk again?" he nodded. "Did I destroy anything more expensive than last time?"
He chuckled, "No, but I need a new set of glasses"
"Huh? Why?"
Gently he pulled the covers up revealing her injured feet. Lina panicked trying to move to check.
"Don't we need to get it checked first, it was a deep cut" he said holding her hand.
"Okay, but how did I end up here and with you again?".
He smirked getting out of bed, "You asked me...". he stopped and placed back at her... "You begged to sleep with me and kept crying until I accepted"
"What?" she yelled.
He chuckled heading to the bathroom.
...
She had sat in bed for minutes trying to remember what happened but a few images appeared.
"Let me just go home, this time being ashamed. Drinking fully knowing I was with a crazy man like him" Lina pushed the covers away ready to get out of bed. "How could he say I begged to sleep with him, am I the pervert or him"
Lina looked at the bandaged heel and sighed, "I can manage until I get put of here" but she regretted her words the moment she tried to stand up.
Crying in pain Lina dropped to the carpeted floor.
"What do you think you're doing" she heard Avril ask behind.
She turned to see him in the bathroom doorway wrapped in a new bathrobe, his black hair still dripping wet from the shower with a few sliding down his neck further to his open chest which seemed to be in good shape.
Her eyes brazenly moved down to his long white legs then traveled back to his clean pale face. He was a handsome perfect man.
Avril scoffed noticing her eyes and walked to her looking down coldly at the now bleeding feet.
"You can never stay put, can you?" he said
