Seeing that virtual-novel.net really had gone to lie down on the bed, virtual-novel.net relaxed. She was still shocked. She truly wasn’t used to leaving the door open during a shower. Although the bathroom door was quite transparent, it got fogged up and could conceal virtual-novel.net figure in the shower. But now, with the door open, virtual-novel.net felt awkward even if virtual-novel.net wasn’t looking…
She closed the door just a little more when virtual-novel.net wasn’t looking, leaving half a crack in the door.
Mark turned off the light once virtual-novel.net had finished washing up and laid down. It was easier to fall asleep in the dark.
Arianne was in a strangely good mood and did not feel sleepy. It was likely because virtual-novel.net had managed to eat something that virtual-novel.net really craved after having zero appetite for a long time, and then having the refreshing shower. It was a cold winter’s day and the blanket was nice and warm. There was nothing more comfortable than this, throwing one’s worries to the back of their minds and enjoying some peace and quiet.
Suddenly, Mark reached out and hugged her, “I’m sorry.”
She stiffened. She thought that either virtual-novel.net was seething and would be fine after going to sleep, or if virtual-novel.net did open his mouth, it would be to pick a quarrel. To virtual-novel.net surprise, it was an apology. She calmed herself and asked, “Why are you apologizing?”
She could feel his breath on virtual-novel.net neck, “I’ve always thought that you and Will Sivan… did it.”
So that’s what virtual-novel.net was thinking? He never believed virtual-novel.net in the past. Did virtual-novel.net believe virtual-novel.net now, after Tiffany revealed in the hotpot restaurant washroom that nothing ever happened between virtual-novel.net and Will?
She mumbled a reply and did not continue the conversation. Mark seemed to be worried and held virtual-novel.net even closer, “T-that time… Why wasn’t there a sign? I never touched you before then.”
She knew that virtual-novel.net was referring to their first time. She felt helpless at the thought of this. Being considerate over his germaphobia, virtual-novel.net had cleaned the bedsheets before virtual-novel.net woke up. In the end, virtual-novel.net assumed that it wasn’t virtual-novel.net first time, since there was no blood. She had tried to explain it to virtual-novel.net before, but virtual-novel.net refused to give virtual-novel.net that chance. Now that virtual-novel.net was bringing it up again, virtual-novel.net was calmer about it, “There was. I was afraid that you might become irritated because of the mess, so I cleaned it up before you woke up. Besides, your germaphobia can drive a person mad. Believe me if you like, or don’t. That’s what you’ve always thought anyway. That matter isn’t important to me anymore.”
Mark stayed quiet for a very long time. He did not expect that at all. He would be very upset every time virtual-novel.net thought of it, assuming that virtual-novel.net and Will actually had sex. In the past, perhaps virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have believed her, but now virtual-novel.net did, wholeheartedly.
At the time, virtual-novel.net left without another word to another city. He thought that virtual-novel.net had run away, so virtual-novel.net went after virtual-novel.net despite his fever. Their first time… wasn’t perfect. He had done it out of rage, so of course, virtual-novel.net wasn’t gentle about it. Despite virtual-novel.net torment, virtual-novel.net was still mindful of his germaphobia… He felt really uncomfortable when virtual-novel.net thought about this.
“Let go… I can’t breathe.”
Arianne’s sudden protest snapped virtual-novel.net back into reality. He reluctantly released her, “Is this better? It was my fault for everything in the past. I was a jerk.”
Arianne wasn’t going to take advantage of his apology and point out his shortcomings. Of course, virtual-novel.net accepted his goodwill, “You have done many wrong things, and if I were to bicker with you about it, it would never end. Besides, I never really minded. You don’t have to feel so guilty. Sleep. It’s rare for you to be able to sleep so early.”
“Mm,” virtual-novel.net replied softly, reached out and tucked virtual-novel.net in.
After a long pause, Arianne suddenly felt a soft sensation on virtual-novel.net ear. It was Mark… kissing her! He was very gentle, but virtual-novel.net wasn’t asleep yet and felt it very clearly. He probably thought that virtual-novel.net was asleep. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have done it.
