CHAPTER 36

When Rebecca tried to cover Benjamin with the blanket, a muscle in her ankle twitched, and she fell on top of him. Her butt crash landed right on top of his belly, and her hand pressed down on his chest as she sought balance. She quickly looked at Benjamin, but luckily, he was still in deep sleep. She found herself staring nonstop at his handsome face, and his pink lips. She could lean closer and kiss them, but she didn‘t want to do it this way. 

Her hand that was resting on his chest could feel its definition, and for a second, she wondered if he got abs. She could tear the shirt open, but she withdrew her hand. However, her other hand then unintentionally ended up taking the support of his pelvis as she stood. And her eyes widened as she looked at her hand and felt the feeling of touching his pelvis. “Did I just...” 

She took a quick look at his face, and he was still sleeping like a baby. She couldn‘t tell where she was putting her hand because of the blanket covering him, but she felt like she did something wrong.

“Dad, I‘m just dating her, that‘s all. It’s nothing serious. Besides, I‘m not foolish enough to marry a foreigner.” Veronica‘s eyes tumed teary. She dropped the paint brush set there and left. “You are already 32 years old, son,” Akash‘s father spoke through the phone. “It‘s about time you stop wasting time with dating and commit yourself to marriage. A relationship strengthens when you experience hardships together, not when you eat dinner together on an artificial date night. Love before marriage is but a seedling. The real fruits of love are bom after marriage, son.” “I get it, dad. I‘m busy, so I‘ll call you later, okay?” “Fine, but your hunger only keeps increasing with age, so watch your diet and eat well.” “Yeah. Take care.” Akash ended the call and sighed. “I‘m serious about Veronica, but how can I convince my parents

Normally, she wouldn‘t have bothered to apologize, but in his case, she went out of her way to approach and apologize to him the next time she saw him at a party.
