"What are you thinking?" Hayden asked Reinne while they lay awake in his bed.

Reinne sigh as Hayden absentmindedly create patterns on her back. "The wedding."

"What about it?" Hayden pulled her closer.

"I went...no-- Jubileen actually convinced us to attend this wedding hoping that I could get closure to what I really feel towards Keith."

"And..."

"Nothing," Reinne unconsciously run her fingers across his chest. "I felt nothing for him. I thought I would still have that flutters but none."

"Flutters?" Hayden chuckled. "Really?"

Reinne slap him on the chest. "Its the best explanation I have in mind."

Hayden push Reinne underneath him. "So, are you feeling flutters now?"

Reinne smiled at him. "No."

She saw Hayden's eyes darken of jealously. "No?"

Reinne gasp when she felt Hayden's lips on her neck. "Still no?" Hayden murmur against her pulse.

"No..." she groaned when Hayden's hands starts to wander.

"You still won't change the answer?" Hayden asked as he trace her collarbone with his lips.

"No..." She sigh the frowned when Hayden decided to stop touching her. "What?"

"I'm hungry," Hayden moved away from her. "I'm going to order home services."

Reinne groaned when she felt coldness surround her. She got up and hug Hayden from behind. "I don't feel flutters when your around."

"What then?" Hayden glance to see her rest her cheek on his back. She had a feeling that she almost bust his ego.

Reinne can hear Hayden's heartbeat, it soothe her and decided to be honest with herself. "I feel warmth, comfort and secured."

Hayden turned and pulled her to his lap. "I'm flattered, but I'm still going to order room service."

"What time is it?" Reinne asked and glance at the window.

"Around one?"

"Shot," She quickly hop off Hayden's lap and took the nearest cloth to her which is Hayden's shirt. "Its Monday?"

Hayden watch her roam around the room looking for her purse. "Yes, its Monday. Why?"

"Work!" Reinne run towards the living room when she remembered that she drop her purse on the couch. She look at her phone to see a few missed calls and messages from Drew and Jubileen.

Jubileen: me and Drew will took a spin around the area. Enjoy your time.

Drew: we had a day off! Mr. Sarmento told us not to report in the office until tomorrow.
