True Love Waits novel Chapter 551

Wesley fixed his eyes on Blair and sneered, "You think I'm bullying Talbot? Are you trying to protect him from me?"

"Talbot cooked for us, cleaned the house and washed the dishes. Are you not moved at all?" Blair asked in return.

Wesley was about to say something when the room went dark. The electricity had gone off.

"What happened?" Blair asked as she unlocked her phone.

Wesley stood up from the sofa, fished out his phone and opened the flashlight application. "You sit here. I'll go take a look."

"Okay." Blair had her phone light on to light Wesley's path.

The two of them lived in the same housing estate, so their main power switches had been installed likewise. He found it soon enough, and after checking it, he didn't find anything wrong.

At that moment, they received a text message from the State Grid. It said, "Dear resident, sorry to inform you..." It turned out that all the apartments in the housing estate were out of power and they were not sure when it would come back on.

Blair was at a loss for words. It was summer!

"I'll go buy some candles," Wesley offered.

When he arrived at the door to change his shoes, he saw Talbot and Blair chatting under the flashlight. He immediately changed his mind. "Blair, you are more familiar with the housing estate. You go buy the candles."

Blair agreed without hesitation.

She walked towards the door, but when she turned back to look at the dark apartment, she figured it was an excellent opportunity to bond with Wesley. She didn't want to miss this chance, so she told Talbot, "Talbot, will you go buy the candles? I'm scared of the dark."

Talbot nodded. Blair told him the location of the grocery store cheerfully. When he was about to leave, he turned back to look at his superior and his dream girl. 'Something is not right, ' he thought.

Talbot shook his head and went down the stairs.

Blair fixed her eyes on Wesley without looking away. He felt aroused by her gaze, so he got up from the sofa quickly. "I need a smoke," he said, as he turned towards the balcony.

But a soft, warm hand wrapped around his wrist tightly. "Don't. It's so dark in here."

Wesley sighed helplessly. "I'll just be on the balcony." 'Why is she such a chicken?'

She swiftly grabbed his wrist using both her hands as she said in a trembling voice, "But, I don't wanna stay in the living room alone."

Wesley had to sit back down on the sofa. "What are you planning to do if the power is still off by tonight?"

Blair stared into his eyes and said, "It's too hot. I won't be able to stand the heat. If the power doesn't come back on in an hour, how about we get a hotel room?"

Wesley's eyes darkened. "No. I can bear the heat." As a soldier, he had gone through intense training, and he could endure extreme temperatures. He had experienced hotter days with neither an air-conditioner nor even a fan.

'Is he so slow that he doesn't get my point? Or does he just not want to get laid?' Blair couldn't help but lower her sight to look at her chest. 'Is it because he's not interested in my body? Or is he gay?'

Wesley followed her gaze, and his heart started racing. He had thought that Blair was a petite girl. But now, he realized that she had a well-developed body.

Wesley sprang up to his feet, and ignoring Blair's protests, he went to the balcony. He closed the glass sliding door and lit a cigarette to calm down.

He took a few drags, but the shape of her bosom still lingered in his mind.

At that moment, the sliding door opened and Blair stuck her head out. "Wesley, are you not feeling this horrible heat?"
