True Love Waits novel Chapter 641

"Then what should I get Niles?" Blair asked.

"Nothing," answered Wesley.

"Wesley, that's a little rude, don't you think? Giving him rent money would seem a little off. I honestly think I should at least give him a gift." Blair planned on buying Niles a gift while they were picking out gifts for Wesley's parents and his grandfather, but he was very much against it.

He was still very insistent Blair should buy nothing for his brother. "I was the one who let you live in his apartment. If there's anyone you need to pay, it's me. You've already gotten me a razor, so we're even now. Stop worrying about Niles, will you? He doesn't need anything. You taking over his apartment is none of his business," Wesley said sternly.

'That doesn't even make any sense!' Blair thought. She knew well enough there was no winning this argument, so she just dropped it.

She and Wesley then went to the cinema and saw a New Year's movie. Blair was still thinking about the movie as they were leaving the theater. She was so into it, and was pretty upset about how the movie ended. "I just wish the male lead didn't die. The female lead would have left the city for the countryside, and they could still have lived happily ever after."

"I beg to disagree. Living together is different from dating. Soon enough, they'll grow tired of each other. If they're not the perfect cut for each other, they soon will have to end things between them," Wesley replied.

That took her by surprise. 'Who would have thought that remark came from someone who had never been in a relationship and loathed women?' she mused.

Wesley's family had gone to their respective bedrooms by the time he and Blair got home. The lights in the living room were left on for them.

Wesley took Blair upstairs. "This one, this one, and that one are all available. You can choose whichever room you want," he said as he pointed at the rooms.

"Which one is yours?" she asked.

He jutted his chin to indicate where his bedroom was. "I'll stay in the room next to yours," Blair decided.

"The room next to mine is the storage room," he said. He wasn't home most of the time, so he chose to stay in a quiet room, somewhere far from the stairs.

"Oh, okay. Then I choose this one." She picked another room.

She chose the one next to Niles'. Wesley pushed the door open and turned the lights on for her. "Go brush your teeth and wash your face. I'll prepare the bed for you," he said. That room was the one Cecelia hoped Blair would stay in. Fresh bed sheets were already placed inside the closet. The only thing she needed to do was to make the bed.

"Huh? No, no, thank you. It's okay. I can make my own bed. You must be very tired. It's getting late. You can go and sleep now," Blair responded, quite eager to decline Wesley's offer.

But the soldier paid her no mind. He took out the bed sheets from the closet and started making the bed.

He was done in no time. He made sure everything was in its place. It was only then that he bade Blair good night and headed to his room.

A few moments after Wesley left her room, there was somebody knocking at her door.

Blair, who was brushing her teeth at the moment, rinsed her mouth quickly and went to open the door. It was Niles.

He slipped in and closed the door behind him. Then he settled on the couch and asked her mischievously, "So, Blair, tell me, what were you and my brother up to tonight? Should I start calling you 'sister-in-law'?"

Blair returned to the bathroom to wash her face. "We went to the mall. Don't bother calling me 'sister-in-law, ' or anyone for that matter. I don't think Wesley is planning on giving you one.

"If he wasn't interested in giving me a sister-in-law, then why did he go out with you tonight?" Niles teasingly asked. To hear Blair more clearly, he moved from the couch to the bed.

Since he was in the comfort of his own home, he found it absolutely okay sitting or lying down on any furniture within their property. He rested his back against the headboard as he watched her wash her face.

"He also went shopping with Garnet. I bet you didn't know that," Blair told Niles while applying cleansing cream on her face. Her eyes were shut as she scrubbed her face clean.
