Chapter 18

Dylan's POV

I woke up because of the damned alarm whining continuously near my ears. Turning the alarm off with a smack, I squished the pillow over my face trying hard to figure out everything from who I was to where I was, to the very reason behind my existence in the mean time.

A few moments later

Strange! I don't remember turning alarm on.

The last vague memory I had was sudden loss of cozy warmth. Then someone seemed to tuck me in the blankets safely. Could it be my little assistant?

Indeed, I didn't find Nate on my bed once I turned to my left. I was rubbing my eyes lazily when Nate walked in, fully dressed and ready for the day ahead.

"Good morning, Mr. Dylan." The charming voice reached me.

Waking up after a refreshing sleep is the best feeling I have ever experienced in the past few years. I felt as if recharged, both physically and emotionally. Everything seems more beautiful today. Even Nate looked more attractive than usual. Armaan needs to know about this miracle.

"Good morning." I said in a cheerful voice.

"Umm.. you should hurry up or else we will be late."

Late? How can I be late? The workshop begins at 9 am. Now it's just.. 7:30 am??? Holy shit!! I am really gonna get late.

Jumping out of the bed, I rushed towards the bathroom. An extremely adorable giggle sounded behind me.

***
"Nate, can you book an appointment with Dr. Arman Miles today?" As soon as I finished the sentence, a small hand touched my forehead lightly.

"Are you feeling unwell? Should I cancel your schedule for today? Should we turn back home?" A beautiful pair of eyes filled with concern was staring at me.

"No, just regular checkup." I assured his tiny soul.

***

"Are you trying to say you slept soundly without medicines?" Arman sounded astonished.

- "Yes."

- "Any unusual circumstances in the surrounding? Any change in your rituals before sleeping?"

- "It was raining last night." I tried thinking.

- "Can you be less stupid??? It has rained hundreds of times in the past few years."

- "I slept with my assistant last night."

- "What?? Aye, is she pretty?"

- "Be professional bruh. My assistant is a male. We just slept together. Like, innocent sleeping."

I wanted to smack his head so bad. He rarely leaves any chance to irritate me. I don't even know why I still consult with him.

- " Bro, don't tell me you are so touch starved that sleeping with your assistant prevented your insomnia! You, need to get laid, my friend."

I came out of his chamber only to find a curious puppy rushing towards me.

"Are you alright? What did the doctor say? " The puppy bombarded me with questions.

"I am alright." My answer made his eyes sparkle with happiness.

"Thank God! I was so worried!"

"Err.. Nate, I have another job for you."

"What is it?" He asked with curious yet happy look. "You can rely on me, I will do everything efficiently. You can't complain. Hehe."

"Book a hotel room and find a girl to sleep with me." I know it sounded scandalous but I was doing this for curing my illness.

My words probably dropped like a bomb, because all those precious happy sparkles disappeared from his eyes in a flash, leaving behind a gloomy solemn look.
My heart clenched at this sight for some unknown reasons.

The car went awfully silent. After what felt unbearingly like an eternity, I finally heard his husky voice, " What type of girl?"

"Blue eyes, dark hair, round face." Don't spout nonsense, Dylan. " Just find me someone who will not create scandal afterwards."

We are currently sitting inside the hotel room. Nate has carefully brought me here avoiding suspicious camera activities. He was still doing his job efficiently just as he promised, but something seemed off. He was no longer looking at me with those bright eyes, he was no longer smiling at me, he was no longer chattering with me.

"Last night-" seeing him silent, I tried initiating the chat to fight the awkwardness, but he cut me off. "Mr. Dylan she is here. I sent her room number. Good night." with that he walked away, keeping me alone, in that room, waiting for some unknown lady.

It's not like I was expecting him to stay with us tonight. It's only normal for him to go back home. But something seemed terribly off tonight.

Knock knock..

The girl was here. She entered swiftly as I opened the door. Good.

"Hi." She said tucking her dark hairs behind the ears.

"Let's sleep." I sat on the bed covering myself with the blanket. My eyes almost popped out with her next action. "Stop stop stop. You don't need to undress yourself. " Wtf is she doing? I wanted to innocently sleep with someone, not this.

" As you wish. I just wanted to quicken the process of undressing since you were in rush to get into the action." She said smirking evilly at me.

"Listen, I just want to sleep. Do you understand?" I said gritting my teeth together. Things are getting out of hands.

She walked towards the bed swaying her hips left to right while maintaining eye contact with me. Bringing her face near mine, she started tracing my facial features with her slender index finger with a feather light touch, "So you mean, you will just lay down while I give you an euphoric ride?" She bit her lower lips exposing her neck.

Run for your life, Dylan.

"Listen Lady, I dont know what your intentions are. I can understand it's difficult to resist my charms, but as a professional you should stick to your job. Your job tonight is to sleep with me. Just pure harmless innocent sleep. Do you understand? So just get over the other side of the bed and have a good night's sleep." Her strong perfume was making me nauseatic.

"Do you have any problem getting it up?" She asked frowning.

How dare she doubt my capabilities as a man????

"I am a perfectly healthy functioning male. It's just that I don't go whoring around. Now please do what you are paid for." With this I turned off the lights and shut my eyes close. I don't care if she stubs her toe in the dark.

Ah! What's wrong with me? I fell asleep so quickly last night. Why was I still awake tonight? Ugh! This lady is so tasteless. Her perfume- geez! I want to puke.

This is it! I can't take it any more. If this female creature can't put me to sleep, why am I even sharing bed with her? I have been tossing around in the bed until now.

I want to go home..
