Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 2

Before long, the bedroom door was opened. Soaked, Dennis walked straight into the bathroom without glancing at me, and then came the noise of water running.

Now that he was back, I could no longer sleep, so I got up, put on my clothes, and took his pajamas out of the closet, putting them at the bathroom door before I went to the balcony.

The rain season had come, and it was drizzling and dark outside. Meanwhile, the faint patter of rain on the roof could be heard.

Noticing some noise behind me, I looked back and saw Dennis standing out of the bathroom with the bath towel wrapped around his waist, his hair wet. Drips of water rolled down his muscular chest, and any woman would find it difficult to take her eyes off of him.

He might have noticed me looking at him and stared at me with a slight frown. "Come here!" he ordered in a flat voice.

I walked up to him obediently and caught the towel he tossed at me, hearing him whispering, "Dry my hair."

He perched himself on the edge of the bed as always while I climbed onto the bed, drying his hair behind him on my knees.

"It’s Freddy’s funeral tomorrow. You have to go to the George Residence early," I told him. I wasn’t trying to make a conversation with Dennis, but his mind was occupied by Olivia, so he might forget it if I didn’t remind him.

"I see," he replied and said nothing else.

I knew he didn’t want to talk to me, so I dried his hair silently before lying down again, trying to sleep.

Since I was pregnant, I felt sleepy all the time. Dennis usually stayed in his study until midnight after he took a shower, but somehow, he put on his pajamas and lay down beside me tonight.
