Unexpected

Chapter 77.

I wake up at home with the sunlight perforating my curtains to the centre of the room.

I'm glad my dad had to stay at the law firm until eleven o'clock. My mum was already asleep when I arrived at nine so I'm officially out of trouble.

It's Tuesday and I still want to pass by the hospital to check up on Andrew and still have enough time to take a quick shower and change for school.

I have so many things to do, I need to study for my philosophy test tomorrow and have a few minutes to panic with the fact that I'm only studying one day before.

Albert wanted to stay the night with me but I insisted for him to stay at his place. With the mess between my parents not wanting me near Albert and discovering that there's a high chance for Robert to be alive, I think we should stick with the status quo at least for now.

My head is pounding from last night. The memories flash through my mind and I can't help the huge grin on my face as I recall last night's events.

The way he kissed me still lingers on my lips as I massage them to be sure it was real.

"Good Morning, beautiful," Albert surprises me by wrapping his arms around me and I jolt in his arms.

"It's okay, babe, it's just me!" He throws back laughing and I playfully shove his shoulders.

"Oh My Gosh! I could have screamed and awaken my parents!" I quietly shout at him while beating him on his chest with my pillow.

"You're so easy to scare!" He falls to my bed still laughing and I join him. His wet curls are perfectly waved due to his shower. He's so beautiful without even trying.

"What are you doing here?" I stand up to grab my clothes.

"I was missing you too much since last night." He says and tries to reach my arms but I give him a small smile and keep shoving my books to my bag.

"Why are you so nervous?" Albert's eyes scan me as he lays his elbows on the matress to look at me.

"I'm not nervous." I lie. I don't want Albert to know I'm planning in going to see Andrew. He won't understand. He could had perfectly pressed charges against Albert but he decided against it, despite his mother's pressure. I chose Albert right in front of him, I hurt his feelings and he has his nose broken because of me. The least I can do is to do a simple visit.

I nervously push my sweatshirt down my head and I'm stuck. My hair is stuck on the zipper and I'm struggling to get it off.

"I'll help you," Albert whispers behind me laying his soft hands on my exposed skin giving me chills through my entire body.

The last night events play on my mind as his soft skin traces my bare back.

He gently grasps my sides and I let out a small sigh as he reaches down to release my hair from the zipper.

My heart is hammering on my chest as I nervously stumble to put my jeans.

"Give me that, Albert!" He grabs the black jeans from my hands.

"No." He gives me a cheeky smile making me grin like an idiot.

I jump to reach it when he lifts them higher.

"Give them back!" I demand and he grins at me.

"Ask gently." He challenges me and I playfully roll my eyes at him.

"Albert, my sweet dearest Albert, could you please give me my pants?" I ask crossing my arms on my chest and bite my lip to hide my grin.

"Um.. very tempting babe, but no." He grins down at me with an arched eyebrow.
