Chereads / The Arranged Rings / Chapter 13 - 13. London

Chapter 13 - 13. London

I awoke after a couple of hours, only to see him on his phone, and my head still laying on his shoulder. I was too comfortable to move so I just laid there for a while. He was just so handsome Wow. "Staring again?" He asked softly. "N-no...." Iaverted my eyes away.

Later we landed and was making our way to the hotel. This place was so pretty. We pulled up at a grand hotel. I checked in and got our room key.

Then it hit me. We have to spend the night. In

the same room. For 4 days. I froze. And I'm sure it's only one bed!!!

"You ok?" He asked as he moved away a strand of hair from my face, causing me to see him in full view. "Mhmm," I replied quickly, slightly moving away from him, leaving him with a concerned look but it quickly faded.

I was tired after the long trip and I had a

headache but I had work to do. After we settled in I sat on the bed doing work and he was in the shower. I couldn't help but remember his slight touch earlier. It felt so, warm, and calm.

Just then my thoughts were interrupted, by him exiting the shower, with only a towel wrapped around his waist! Woah. His abs were so defined and the water droplets traced each one. And his rounded biceps complemented so well. Wow. Oh

My god Gaeun! Stop staring!!!

I swiftly looked away.

After he got dressed he plopped on the bed

next to me. He looked tired, as usual, but he

seemed to keep his confident composure. Why was he like that? Why does he cover everything up?

"Would it kill you to smile?" I muttered. I

glanced at him but he was already asleep, and I didn't realize but his arm was interlocked with mine.

I sighed slightly looking at him. He looked so

innocent. So precious. I put down my computer and laid next to him. He seems like he was hiding something. I've never seen him show any emotion, besides seriousness. Maybe that's just how he was. Maybe he wasn't used to showing his emotions. Or maybe he just doesn't have any.

I closed my eyes to stop my wandering thoughts After my long nap, I awoke. It was 3am.Ugh stupid time zones. Today I was going to visit my sister, Mia. She lives in London with her husband. I wasn't sure how she got out of my parents planning of her life. She always says I'm a pushover. And to be honest I am. She got to live her life the way she wanted. She got to marry someone she loved, and work where she wanted to.

She was 25 and I'm 21. Maybe it was the eldest child's luck. I sighed again. Ian was still

fast asleep. She would be meeting him for the first time today. He insisted on coming with me. Mia also wanted me to bring him.

Just then my phone was buzzing. I gently left

the bed ensuring to not wake him. I entered the bathroom. "Hey Lucas." I answered. "Hey Gaeun, what's up how's London?" He asked.

"Oh well it's 3am here," I replied. "Oh my god I'm sorry did I wake you?" He asked with concern. "No no Iwas already up." I assured.

We talked for a while until he had to leave. He

said he'd call me later. Sadly. I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if I told Lucas how I felt 2years ago. Or if my parents would let me marry who I wanted. It doesn't matter anyways. Lucas doesn't even like me, he's just a friend....
