Scarlett groaned, shifting in the bed as she felt her head throbbing. She rubbed her eyes and slowly opened them, allowing them to adjust. She hadn't been hung over so bad in a while so it was like she was a newbie again.

Once her eyes were well adjusted, she looked around to see she was in her room, safe and sound. Light was seeping in through her window and hitting her bed. She looked down, she had expected to be hot since her covers were black and drew more heat, but she saw she was only wearing her underwear.

Her head thudded once and she was about to curse, but she realized there was someone in the bed with her. Her eyes widened as she looked over and saw a sleeping figure. His arm was over his eyes and he was fully clothed, but even if she couldn't see his face, she knew who he was.

Slowly, Scarlett turned on her side and watched as Yanjun slept.

Figures, Scarlett thought.

Even if they weren't talking or even looking at one another, Yanjun would take care of her. Even if he had been mad at her he would've done it.

Scarlett took notice of his chest rising and falling, but it wasn't its usual pace. His chest wasn't rising and falling deeply.

She reached over and slipped her hand into his pants pocket before grabbing his phone. She expected him to move, but he didn't. She pressed the home button and saw that his lock screen was a picture of the two of them at Disneyland.

The happiest place on earth, Scarlett thought and glanced over to the "sleeping" Yanjun. Is beside you.

11:53 a.m.

"You're late for school," Scarlett announced, flinching from her headache. She got off the bed and threw his phone down beside him. Yanjun didn't move. Scarlett groaned from her head and because of Yanjun. "You're going to miss class...I know you're awake, Yanjun. I saw that! Get up!"

"C'mon, Crimson. I took care of you last night. Just let me be," Yanjun said, the ends of his lips curving upwards.

What the hell happened last night? Why is he acting like that, Scarlett thought, staring at him.

"Whatever. That's your problem," Scarlett moaned before going into the restroom to take a shower. She loved the water and it usually made her feel so much better when she was hung over.

The first thing Scarlett did was brush her teeth then she turned the shower on. When the water was right, she stripped off her matching red undergarments and stepped into the shower and sighed when the water hit her body.

Scarlett hummed as she cleaned her hair with strawberry shampoo. The smell filled the air and suddenly, Scarlett felt so much better. At least until she heard the door open.

"...Xudan," Scarlett called like a question as she rinsed the shampoo out of her hair.

No answer.

Scarlett heard a click then another click.

Scarlett was going to open her mouth to speak again, but jumped when the shower curtain was pulled open.

"Yanjun! What the fuck," Scarlett screamed, covering herself with her hands. He only had a towel around his waist and a stupid smile on his face. "Leave!"

"Not what you told me last night."

"I was drunk, you dumbass," Scarlett grabbed the curtain, but Yanjun wouldn't let her close it. His eyes ran down her body and he licked it lips before looking into her eyes.

"We both take really long showers so why not save some water and shower together?"

"Um...I don't know maybe because we're not together and I'm engaged," Scarlett showed him her ring. He raised and eyebrow.

"Interesting," he simply said, nodding his head. "Let me see..."

He let go of the curtain and grabbed her hand. He looked at the ring closely before taking his other hand and pulling the ring off her finger. He threw it over his shoulder and Scarlett's mouth hung open.

Her heart was beating in her chest and her skin was begging to be touched by him.

But she couldn't. She was engaged and not to him even though she loved him and not her fiancé.

"J-Just because you take it off doesn't mean anything!"

"Look, Crimson," Yanjun grasped her hand in his. "I'm not going to give up on you. You're mine and there's no way I'm going to easily hand you over to that ass wipe who thinks he can get whoever and whatever he wants. I don't care that you think that you don't deserve me because if anything, I don't deserve you, but guess what? I don't think that matters because I love you and you love me which means I'm going to do whatever it takes to make you decide to pick me and not him. I'm selfish, I know, but I'm only selfish because I love you and I want you, got it?"

Scarlett blinked at him, What the hell did I say to him last night?
