Natasha was dumbfounded.
She wondered, ‘Jared? What is he doing here?’
And why is he coming out of Dorothy’s place?’
Before she could react, Jared was already standing in front of her.
“Yeah,” Natasha replied.
Natasha came back to herself and nodded instinctively.
Jared slung his arm around her shoulders. “Come on, let’s go inside.”
Natasha followed him in a daze.
She wanted to pull away.
But then she remembered he was probably just putting on a show for Percy.
So she decided to play along.
But just as they stepped inside, Percy’s voice suddenly called out from behind them.
“Nat, I’m living right next door now. If you ever need anything, let me know,” Percy said.
Natasha paused, her pretty face briefly showing a look of disgust.
All she wanted was for Percy to keep his distance.
The farther, the better.
Even if she ever needed anything, she’d never ask Percy for help.
“Bang!” The door slammed shut before Natasha could say anything. Jared had already closed it for her.
Natasha didn’t feel angry at all. Instead, she felt relieved.
The next second, Jared pressed her up against the entryway cabinet.
He braced one hand beside her, his hazel eyes gazing intently at her.
“Why are you with him again?” Jared asked.
Natasha could tell right away he meant Percy.
She looked him straight in the eye and said, “We just ran into each other downstairs, that’s all.”

She wasn’t lying.
She really had run into Percy downstairs.
Jared’s hazel eyes were dark and probing as he pushed further, “How come he’s living here?”
Natasha shrugged, “I have no idea.”
If she’d known, she definitely wouldn’t have come home tonight.
Who would’ve thought Percy would pull a stunt like this?
He actually moved in right next door to Dorothy’s place.
Now Natasha had nowhere to hide from him.
Jared looked at her intently. “Is he trying to court you?”
Natasha’s eyes flickered. “Maybe. Who knows?”
Jared’s gaze grew even more intense. “Would you ever give him a chance?”
Natasha’s immediate reaction was a firm no..
She wasn’t the type to revisit old flames.

Natasha nearly let the words slip, but swallowed them back at the last second, forcing herself to stay quiet.
“I don’t owe you an explanation,” Natasha shot back.
She pressed her hand against his chest, about to shove him away.
What happened between her and Percy was between the two of them.
Natasha didn’t want anyone else dragged into it.
She didn’t need to explain anything to Jared.
After all, she and Jared weren’t anything to each other right now.
But no matter how hard she pushed, she couldn’t budge Jared.
Instead, he had her pinned between his chest and the entryway cabinet, leaving her trapped.
“Mmph…” Natasha barely managed a muffled gasp.
Before she could react, Jared swooped in and claimed her lips in a kiss.
His kiss crashed down on her, all-consuming and relentless.
He didn’t give her a single inch to escape.

Jared’s kiss came on strong, leaving Natasha breathless.
His kiss left her tongue tingling and numb.
Her breathing became erratic.
And her legs turned to jelly.
Her legs were so weak that she had no choice but to cling to Jared for support.
“Enough,” Natasha pleaded.
She was overwhelmed.
Natasha thought, ‘Seriously, this is Dorothy’s place.
‘Couldn’t he at least be a little more considerate?
‘Does he have to kiss me right here, in my bestie’s house?
‘He’s got no chill at all.’
Finally, Natasha managed to catch her breath and hurriedly protested, “Stop, that’s enough.”
Just then, they heard the sound of a key in the door behind them.
Dorothy should be back.
Natasha nearly jumped out of her skin.
Her whole body tensed up, nerves stretched to the limit.
She squirmed desperately, panic rising in her chest.
“Let me go, Jared. Hurry up!” Natasha said.

If Dorothy catches us making out in her house, how am I ever supposed to face her again?’ Natasha thought.
But Jared just arched an eyebrow, taking his time. “You still haven’t given me an answer.”
Natasha blinked, confused. “What are you talking about?”
Jared fixed her with a heated gaze. “Will you be my girlfriend?”
Natasha was caught off guard. ‘Seriously? He’s bringing this up right now?’ she thought.
Natasha was speechless. “Are you seriously asking me this now?”
Jared shrugged. “There’s no way you’d agree unless I asked you right now.”
Natasha froze.

And then she realized. He was deliberately messing with her.
“You!” she blurted out.
She stared at him, eyes wide.
‘Should I say yes to him?’ Natasha wondered, torn and conflicted.
Just then, Dorothy unlocked the door and walked in.

She stopped dead in her tracks when she caught sight of Jared cornering Natasha against the entryway cabinet.
With an awkward cough, Dorothy said, “Sorry to intrude.”
Then she hurried to leave.
And even helpfully closed the door behind them.
But once she was outside, it suddenly hit her.
Wait, this is my own place!’ Dorothy thought, a little flustered.
Natasha and Jared are making out in my house, and I’m the one who has to leave?’
As soon as Dorothy closed the door, Natasha punched Jared.
“This is all your fault!” she snapped.
“What did I do?” Jared asked, playing dumb.
Natasha rolled her eyes at him.
‘Seriously, thanks to you, Dorothy can’t even stay in her own house!’ Natasha thought.
“Let me go!” Natasha snapped, her voice sharp with irritation.
“I’ll let you go when you agree to be my girlfriend,” Jared whispered, his voice deep and husky right by her
ear.
‘Is this guy seriously acting so shamelessly with me right now?’ Natasha thought.
“What are you doing in Dorothy’s house? How did you even get in?” Natasha snapped, her irritation clear.
“I came in fair and square,” Jared said, unfazed.
Natasha gave him a look like she couldn’t believe it. “Seriously? How is that even possible?”
Jared shrugged. “Dorothy gave me a spare key.”
Natasha was silent.

Natasha thought, ‘So that’s how he got in. Dorothy gave him a key.
‘Why would Dorothy give her house key to someone so casually?’
But then she remembered. Jared wasn’t just anyone.
He was Dorothy’s boss, after all.
When Jared said something, Dorothy would never say no.
Natasha shot him a look that said, ‘Wow, you are something!
Seriously, she had nothing left to say.
He even showed up at her bestie’s house just for her.
