While Katherine was in her sleep, someone went to bed and pressed his body against hers. Her first reaction was to hold him, but then she woke up and turned her back to Marshall.
Marshall held her from behind and whispered, "Katherine, I can’t take it anymore."
Katherine didn’t know what he meant, remained quiet.
Marshall sounded depressed. "Now we are in bed, yet I can do nothing to you. You know, most men can’t take it."
Now Katherine understood what Marshall wanted to do. She said in a sleepy voice, but very clearly, "You can get the fuck out of this room."
Marshall went silent at once, behaving himself.
However, Katherine found it hard to go to sleep again, her mind in a trance.
Recently, Marshall had been by her side and not gone to any parties, so he must be having a hard time controlling his desire.
Katherine thought of the news she had read last time that Marshall left a nightclub with a woman. She breathed a sigh, feeling upset.
When the news first came out, she was calm. However, the more she thought about it now, the more upset she got. Therefore, she threw away the arm around her waist and growled, "Don’t touch me."
Marshall had no idea what was going on and asked in surprise, "Well? What happened?"
Katherine distanced herself from his arms. "I don’t want you to touch me. Keep away from me."
Marshall got her wrong. In his view, Katherine knew he was having a hard time suppressing his desire, so she distanced herself from him to help him cool off.
Marshall smiled and lay flat on his back. "It’s alright. I can control myself. It’s been so long, and another month or two is no problem to me."
Katherine didn’t say anything, but closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, making herself fall asleep again.
Marshall waited for a while. It was when Katherine was almost asleep that he got close to her again. This time, he acted very lightly, and took her in his arms.
In a trance, Katherine didn’t wrench herself free this time, but frowned and put up with it.
The next morning, she was woken up by the vibration of her phone.
Katherine fumbled for her phone on the nightstand, grabbed it, and looked at the caller ID, almost flinging the phone away.
Who would call so early in the morning?
She hung up and stuffed it under her pillow. However, her phone started to vibrate again soon after.
Marshall turned around and looked at Katherine. "Who’s calling?"
"Nobody," grumbled Katherine.
Marshall thought for a moment and pulled her phone out from under the pillow.
He saw a strange number.
Seeing that, Katherine simply frowned and didn’t stop him.
Marshall stared at the screen for a while and answered the call.
Before he could say anything, a voice came from the other end of the line. "Katherine, your little sister wants to say something to you. I know it’s pretty early and I may disturb your sleep, but your sister kept pestering me to call you, and I had no choice. Have you got up now?"
Marshall knew who was calling without even asking. He held the phone with the other hand and kept on listening.
Hearing that Katherine didn’t answer her, the voice on the other end of the line wasn’t discouraged and continued, "Katherine, your sister wants to sing a song to you. She always tells me that she wants to see you and sing a song to you."
After that, the female voice turned away from the phone. "Come on, your sister is listening. Come over here and sing a song."
It seemed that the "little sister" wasn’t willing to sing a song, and no sound had been made for a while.
