There was proper darkness in her entire room when Jennifer opened her eyes in the middle of the night. She had no clue about the time but only guessed that it must be almost around midnight already.

Getting up from her bed, she removed the blanket from her body and placed some pillows under it. ‘That is perfect!’ Placing them in the proper shape, Jennifer moved closer to the door.

Opening it slightly, she sneaked outside to view the lights still on. ‘Don’t tell me that the guy isn’t asleep yet? Does he even know what sleep means?’

The sound of the television was loud enough for her to hear it. But while sneaking out, nothing came into her view, ‘Where would he be if he hadn’t fallen asleep till now?’ She can only search for his figure but no young man was found.

Moreover, she was able to hear the sound of the television from her bedroom, she won’t believe that he has gone to the bed without switching it off. At least he isn’t that careless, Jennifer wondered if is he?

At last, she used the courage and the lame excuse that she prepared for herself. Turning around, she went ahead and held the jug which was lying on the side table. Jennifer threw the water present in the jug to the plants outside.

Her grip tightened around the empty jug that she was holding in her hand. Despite being a bold person back in her states, never in the span of the last twenty-five years did she feel this scared out of the lie she was going to use.

‘At Least if he asks me why am I out then I can say that I was thirsty for water…’ Jennifer was aware that it might sound very common and might gain his suspicions as well, but he won’t be able to say and lecture her for this, right?

With a small jerk, Jennifer opened the door of her room and stepped out to see the television and the couch. Taking tiny steps in the direction of the couch, Jennifer’s steps were slower than any turtle.

Each step that she took was like a ticking bomb but surprisingly, she was able to hold her knees with the amount of confidence that she gained out of nowhere.

Endless negative thoughts were presented in her mind, to ensure her heart and mind but she was careful with everything. Otherwise, her plan might be ruined.

With a positive outlook in her heart, Jennifer reached the couch after God knows how many minutes, and with the courage left in her body, she lifted her eyes to see the figure who was fast asleep on the couch.

‘So he is sleeping here instead of in his room….’ but she was thankful otherwise he might have brought his mobile phone back to his room. with him.

At this moment, taking a deep breath, Jennifer stepped ahead and came near the center table where the phone was lying.

Her hands were already full of sweat due to the nervousness she was experiencing at this point. Why did she feel like a spy who has committed any kind of mistake in her life? A thief would be the perfect way to deserve her role right now.

Tapping her face with her light hands, Jennifer removed the sweat she was experiencing and stared at the well-defined face of Javier.

The cold personality was lying on the couch without much exposure. But what gained her attention was his peaceful smile. She could already guess that he was in some kind of dream.

Swallowing her own saliva, she found it hard to move her gaze from his gorgeous face which showed so much positivity and harmony

‘That smile..’ her urge to touch his face grew longer. Clueless about what kind of magic was done on her body but she surely felt a kind of attraction towards him. To touch his face… his jawline.. that silky hair and…

‘STOP JENNER’! Focus on your work before he wakes up from his dreamland and sends you to hell.’ Her mind reminded her about the real plan that she was supposed to follow.

Her gaze went to the phone that was lying on the table. She took out the cloves that she found in the washroom of her room. Wearing them in her small hands, Jennifer bent a little to take the phone from the table without making any kind of noise.

If by chance she did, it would create a blunder! She was at the endpoint of having the thing and, at this point maybe her lame excuse which she prepared won’t work as well…

Her hands were already shaking. Her heart was beating so erratically as if a hammer was hitting against her chest. She couldn’t remember if she has been this scared ever in her entire life as if it was the most dreadful and uneasiness way to look forward.

At last her fingers touched the phone and she took it into her hands. Dread and uneasiness were spread in her stomach. ‘I should return back to my room immediately and call anyone..’

She was all set to leave the place and walk back towards her room but before she could have moved an inch from her place, she felt the movement, someone moved from their place…

“COUGH! COUGH!”

Her eyes drew to Javier, who was sleeping on his couch. He coughed lightly but her eyes widened like saucers. She wanted to run, no… No.. she wanted to just step away from this place at the lightning speed but she found it quite hard.

Thunderstruck from head to toe, she was frozen on her spot when she realized that he moved, he was on the verge of waking up from his sleep!

‘No…Please.. Please don’t wake up… no.. I will be caught if he wakes up..’
