Chapter 38
CELINE’S POV
1/8
I awoke the following morning to the sound of a loud knock on the door, and I
was still feeling tired at the time…. so, I grumbled in response. I checked the
time on my phone, with my eyes only half–opened, it said was already eight
o’clock in the morning. I let out another groan as I laid down my phone and
pulled the sheets over my head to shield my face from the sunlight.
The night before, when I knew that remaining in the room would just hasten
my plunge into hell… I spent more than two hours with Jake in the restaurant,
just eating, laughing, and getting to know each other better.
When I finally made it back to the room, it was already three in the morning…
and Sebastian had, of course, already left. Jake continued to wake me up
with his loud knocks despite the fact that I had only gotten a few hours of
fitful sleep.
“Celine, wake up!” I heard him say, followed by a resounding pounding at my

yanked it open.

god…. do you have any idea what time did I sleep last night?”
My hair was a mess, and I was still drooling as I peered with tired eyes at the
person who’s disturbing my sleep.
“Celine, you are just the cutest thing ever when you wake up like this…” Jake
teased me instead and laughed out loud. I rolled my eyes as I spun on my
heels and plopped down on the bed with my face first, burying in the pillow.

The bed sagged as he sat next to me, his hand reached out to slightly shake
my shoulders. I groaned, pushing his hand away.
“Oh, c’mon!” his hand was there on my head this time, ruffling my already
messy hair. “I’ve prepared a yellow swimsuit for you. It’s your favorite color…
right?”

“Five more minutes…”
“You have to get up now or I’ll carry you to the bathroom?” I jumped out of
