“Do you realize that you’re wrong?” Jensen noticed that she gave up so quickly and knew that she was most probably in the wrong. If she wasn’t, she wouldn’t give up like that and would be all arrogant.
“Ahem,” Rae cleared her throat. She felt awkward and didn’t want to say anything. But then she glanced at Jensen and he was pulling down his zippers. She quickly raised her head and looked at him shockingly, “What are you planning to do?!”
“What else? Will you only realize what I want to do after I spray it all over your face?” Jensen retorted.
Only after saying that he felt like it was too vulgar. Rae was a bad influence on him.
“Are you crazy, I’m not that close to you. Can you do it after I’m done with the laundry?” Rae mumbled, but Jensen ignored her. After that water flowing sounds could be heard and Rae looked away. She felt uncomfortable.
Jensen was done peeing and he left.
Rae wasn’t having it. She cursed him under her breath and continued doing the laundry.
Jensen left the bathroom but didn’t walk far. He leaned backwards and peeked at Rae who was cursing him and washing laundry at the same time through the crack of the bathroom door. He couldn’t help but smile. He thought that it was a beautiful morning, so beautiful that the word “forever” appeared in his mind again.
It was rare for Jensen to take a day off and stay home. Rae didn’t want to go to work either. She was done with loads of laundry, and then she remembered her promise with Isabella today. She sauntered to Jensen’s study room and leaned at the door while staring at Jensen, who was sitting up straight while looking through the documents. She said, “Isabella said that she would come by today in the afternoon.” Jensen was wearing light blue pyjamas and looked totally different from how he usually was in a suit. He looked like a friendly and handsome next-door neighbour.
“Okay,” answered Jensen. He typed on the keyboard and sent out the email. He then turned his head around and looked at Rae. He wanted to say something but frowned upon seeing Rae as she was still barefooted, and her legs were still wet. He then said, “Come here.”
“What?” Rae didn’t know what he wanted but she still walked over to him.
She went to his side. He then grabbed her waist with his arm and hugged her in his arms. Rae didn’t struggle, she laid down comfortably in his arms. After that, Jensen bent her legs and used his pyjamas to dry the water on them. The fabric quality of his pyjamas was great, it was soft and it was caressing her legs. She felt like feathers were tickling her heart. Rae hugged her legs and put her chin on her knees. She looked at the handsome Jensen up close. She couldn’t say it before, and she blurted out suddenly, “How’s your shoulder?”
Jensen wasn’t surprised that she knew about it because Adam already confessed honestly that he told her about it. But he didn’t expect her to only ask him about it so long after.
His Adam apple moved and he gulped. He didn’t say anything.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you got hurt? I don’t only care about if you can get hard or not, I also care about…!” She didn’t manage to finish her sentence. Jensen who was drying her legs turned his head around suddenly and bit her on the lips. Rae licked her lips and knew that Jensen didn’t like her to talk so vulgarly.
Jensen ruffled her hair seeing that she quieted down. He said helplessly, “I know you are trying to comfort me, but can you talk decently? Why do you always want to talk about my dick?”
Rae pursed her lips and gave him the silent treatment. But then she felt the need to say something and hence she said quietly, “But I’m that vulgar, talking so vociferously is just the way I am. Also, I don’t have friends who like to talk about philosophies with me.”
Jensen stopped talking seeing that she mentioned Karina.
“In the morning, a fire broke out in the shopping street on HS Street. The fire was spreading fast, but luckily the fire department came in time. No one was injured…” said a female reporter. The voice came from Jensen’s laptop. Rae knew that Jensen always listened to the news and it was something absolutely normal. But the news report about fire…
Rae quickly looked at Jensen and noticed that his expression changed. His eyes lost focus and he looked not in the very least normal. Rae got worried, she quickly stood up from his lap and grabbed his arm, “Jensen, Jensen? Are you okay?”
Jensen looked at Rae and there was an unfamiliar look in his eyes. After a while, he regained his composure, but it took a long while until he recognized Rae again. The first thing he said was, “Meds, I need my meds…”
“Don’t take them. Jensen, listen to me. I’m here, I will be here with you.” Rae knew that he was trying to escape from the pain again. She couldn’t remain as calm as usual, she was so nervous that she was almost in tears.
It was her fault. If only she didn’t leave him back then…
But she didn’t have a choice either back then!
“I cannot take this!” Jensen yelled, he looked like a mad animal. He pushed Rae away forcefully, stood up and walked towards the cupboard to look for his meds.
