NORA'S POV

What time is it? How long was I asleep? Why is the pillow so hard?

Did mom replace my soft pillow with hard pillow? I open my eyes and.........

WHAT THE HECK?

THE FUCK?

I am hugging Kai Dalton. Did I lose my mind? And the best thing as well as the worst thing is that he is half-naked. He is shirtless.

Concentrate, Nora Cox. You don't like him because he is rude and arrogant and insanely handsome and hot.

Insanely handsome and hot? Where did that come from?

I shouldn't be drooling but what if I am? I snap myself out of it. I shouldn't be drooling over my fake-date.

My hands are wrapped around his waist. I slowly take my hand off.

I take my clothes and go to the washroom to freshen up.

He is already up when I come out of the washroom. He is still in the bed. He is still shirtless. Damn it!

"You were hugging me." His voice is raspy and deep. He must have just woken up. Uh-huh.

I clear my throat.

"I am sure that you were dreaming."

"Liar." His voice going octave deeper than before.

He rolls off the bed and walks towards me. I freeze there.

Why did my legs decide not to work? This is not fair.

"What are you doing?"

He is standing in front of me and he leans down.

"Maria is watching us from the window."

"Fuck!" That curious little piece of shit.

He wraps his hands around my waist.

"Act normal, Nora."

"I am acting normal."

"You need to be acting like you are in love."

"Oh! Sad, beautiful, tragic love."

"Don't quote Taylor Swift." My eyes widen.

"So you are a swiftie?"

"No." He denies like he is not allowed to be liking an artist.

"Liar." I imitate him and he tsks in disapproval and I laugh.

"Really funny." He deadpans.

"I am going to get murdered in my sleep."

"You better sleep with one eye open."

"So how are you going to murder me?"

"Torture-is my area of expertise."
