Decoupled • KTH : Book 1✔

Chapter 11

Taehyung

My eyes flick to look at Maya, and she's already looking at me, and as much as I want to tell her to resume playing the movie, I also hold back, not wanting to seem too obviously curious and horny.

"I think I'll be heading to bed now. Do you want to watch something?" She asks, extending the remote control to me.

"No, I think I might want to get to bed too. I'll leave now," I answer softly.

I might want to get laid too.

"Why do you want to leave?" Maya asks me.

My eyes widen, and my heart races at her question.

What does she mean?

"There's a guest bedroom upstairs, you can sleep there," she states coolly and smiles at me as she replaces her legs on the coffee table with the remote control after turning off the TV.

"Maya..." I turn to sit facing her, and she turns around too, folding her legs and tucking them beneath her body. "Aren't you going to ask me why I was looking for a hotel to stay at?" I ask her, which only earns me a small smile from her.

"I won't, unless you yourself want to tell me about it," she shakes her head a bit and removes the hair tie that's holding her hair together, hooking her hair out of the hood and ruffling it thereafter.

"How are you okay with me spending the night here?" My tone deepens as I slightly tilt my head and quirk a brow at her, clasping my hands and bringing them to rest on my lap.

"I stay alone, and you are welcome to stay here for as long as you want. But bring along some change of clothes next time because my clothes might not fit you," she shrugs and chuckles casually, leaning a bit towards me and slapping my thigh in a playful manner.

Alone? No boyfriend too? But she's wearing a ring, not one that looks like a wedding ring or an engagement ring. Just a plain gold ring which I have no idea why, and she hasn't mentioned anything about anyone else in her life.

But I don't think too much before I accept her offer, mainly because I could save the cost of staying at a hotel.

"Thank you so much, Maya. And I won't trouble you anymore. Just tonight, and then I'll figure things out," I thank her with a small bow of my head.

"Taehyung, as I said, you're welcome to stay here for as long as you wish. Don't worry, I don't bite or anything, and my home is relatively clean, right?" She winks and gets up from the couch, and I notice that her shorts have ridden up a little higher than before and is covering just the bare minimum, but by no means am I complaining.

She quickly pulls down the hem of her zip-up hoodie, and it almost entirely covers up the micro shorts that she's wearing.

Maya most definitely wasn't expecting me here tonight, and she is just wearing what she's comfortable in, not making it too awkward for us by suddenly changing into something else more modest just because I'm here.

"Your home is super clean and very warm and pretty. I love it here," I declare, standing up and picking up my toothbrush and toothpaste from the coffee table, leaving my wallet and phone to stay there for the night.

Maya chuckles softly.
"So then, stay here, okay?" She playfully punches my bicep, earning a huge grin from me.

For a long while now, I actually forgot why I am where I am right now. Her presence, understanding nature and kindness just made me forget about everything else in life.

Maya climbs up the stairs ahead of me, and I follow her as she guides us upstairs and turns on the lights in the hallway before opening the door to a room on our left. She then turns on the lights inside the room which looks nothing like a guest bedroom.
