Anthony parked the car slowly on the side of the road, staring at her involuntarily.
After a busy day, she looked so haggard.
Recalling her busy figure in the company, Anthony's hand subconsciously caressed her cheek, pinching her soft cheek.
...
This time, Mavis slept for two hours, and when she woke up, she was completely dazed.
She opened her eyes suddenly, and found that she was still in the car. She quickly glanced to the side. Anthony was resting with his eyes closed.
Mavis subconsciously wiped the corners of her mouth with her hand, afraid that she would have some indecent behavior like drooling while she was asleep.
The person next to her moved slightly. Anthony opened his eyes, looked sideways at her, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you awake?"
"Um, sorry, how long have I been asleep?"
It was completely dark outside, and Mavis was a little confused.
Anthony said lightly, "Two hours."
Hah?
That was to say, Anthony waited for her in the car for two full hours?
The lights in the car were dim, and through the street lights, Mavis saw his bloodshot eyes.
His clothes were covering her body, and now she was completely stained with his smell.
Mavis was a little embarrassed to make him wait for so long.
"You...why do you want to take me with you? Did I delay your business?"
Anthony's work was delayed because of sleepiness. It was her fault.
Anthony restarted the car, didn't say anything, and just drove back to the Callahan Residence.
After taking a bath at night, Mavis hugged the quilt and was about to go to bed, but was stopped by Anthony, "Sleep on the bed."
Mavis froze for a second, didn't seem to understand what he meant, and looked at him with ignorant look.
Meeting her cute look, Anthony stepped directly off the bed and pulled the quilt from her hand.
"Sleep next to me, understand?"
Sleep next to him??
Mavis froze, "I'd better sleep on the sofa. I wake up early and might wake you up."
"You're waking me up right now."
Anthony looked unhappy. And he pulled her directly onto the bed.
With his hands on her lower abdomen, Mavis' body couldn't help being stiff, for fear that any movement would make him unhappy.
This was the first time she was awake, lying beside him.
Staring at the bedside lamp, Mavis felt uneasy for a while.
Her heart was beating so fast. If it wasn't under the quilt, she was afraid it would have jumped out, right?
Thump--
Thump thump--
The room was quiet, and each other's breathing and even heartbeat could be clearly heard. Although it was early morning, Mavis did not feel sleepy at all.
Anthony was sleeping next to her for the first time. How could she sleep!?
Anthony agreed with her.
The sound of her heartbeat was so loud that he couldn't sleep.
She smelled so good that he couldn't help but smell her hair.
Anthony didn't like being influenced by her, but he couldn't help but want to get closer to her.
This feeling made him a little irritable, but unexpectedly a little enjoyable.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the house.
