Scarlett's Mistake

Chapter 49

"Miss Scarlett?"

Kaiden knocked on the mafia queen's room's door while biting his lower lip.

"Are you s-still awake?" he asked while knocking.

It's already ten in the evening and he still couldn't sleep because his whole body is aching now. It suddenly ached unbearably and he think it's the cause of the training they did.

"Miss Scarlett, are you...."

The introvert boy froze when the mafia queen opened the door with just only black bathrobe covering her body. Her hair were also wet and messy, small drops of water are dripping from her hair to her slightly revealed collarbones, making Kaiden gulp visibly.

He blinked repeatedly and looked away. He also somewhat turned sidewards and distanced himself from Scarlett who just watched him with emotionless face.

"S-Sorry. I-I----"

"Tss. What do you want?" Scarlett asked coldly as she turned around and walked towards her bed, leaving the doors open for Kaiden.

The introvert boy cleared his throat while still looking away.

"I-I just wanted t-to ask you if you have p-painkillers," he responded as he mentally scolded himself for remembering what he saw just a few moments ago.

The image of Scarlett being only wrapped with black robe kept playing inside his mind. He cannot forget that, especially her wet neck and collarbones.

"I am not a fvcking pharmacy. Try to search in the kitchen, dumbass. The kit above the refrigerator," Scarlett answered rudely. Her voice were kinda muffled since she's inside the room and the doors aren't opened widely.

"I-I already did. There's no painkillers there." Kaiden heaved a sigh and bit his lower lip. "I-I'm going, M-Miss Scarlett. Goodnight."

He waited for a respond until a minute had passed but he still didn't receive a reply so he decided to leave.

He turned around and was about to start walking away but the mafia queen spoke again;

"Where are you going?"

Kaiden turned to her and his eyes widened when he saw the mafia queen who's wearing a denim shorts that couldn't even cover her midthighs and a white loose t-shirt.

Her tattoes on her arms were showing off and the introvert boy just realized that there were only tattoes on her arms and the rest of her skin were clean.

His eyes widened.

"W-When did you start liking t-to dress like that?" he asked and gaped at Scarlett who just gave him a bored look.

To be honest, the mafia queen also don't know why her hands pulled those very short clothes, which she hated for years. Her usual night clothes were shirts and jeans, yes, it might be uncomfortable but Scarlett is already used to those kinds of clothes.

Now, she's confused because why did she---or should I say, did her celebrating heart chose those kinds of clothes? Her mind kept telling her that she's showing off because of Kaiden but she ignored it.

"Just now. Why? Does clothes like these don't suit me?" she bitchily asked and crossed her arms. She gave the boy a cold look.

Kaiden, on the other hand, shaked his head and waved his hands.

"No! It suits you well, Miss Scarlett. I-I...It's just that I'm not just used to see you with clothes like...." The boy's gaze fell onto the mafia queen's well-built bare thighs and curvy hips. He immediately looked away. "...t-these."
