When Jayden ca out of the bathroom, he looked so excited, as if the exhaustion he was feeling and the fatigue and headache he was experiencing had no effect on him at all.
He felt very refreshed, but his spirits imdiately dampened when he saw Apple had actually fallen asleep while snuggling into her covers. Her face looked sound and peaceful, she even let out a soft snoring sound with her lips slightly parted.
"You must be kidding …" Jayden stayed where he was for a mont, blinking his eyes. "She is already sleeping?" he muttered to himself as he slowly approached Apple.
The look of disbelief was still etched on his face very clearly. There was no way this could happen right? Seriously…
"So what was I even excited about earlier…" Jayden muttered as he sat on the side of the bed, staring at the girl who was fast asleep on this big bed, as if she was no longer thinking about the world or whatever was happening around her, not even aware of a grown up man who was now looking at her in despair.
This couldn't have happened to him...
Jayden then coughed, sounding so loud it didn't look natural. He also plopped down beside Apple so hard it made the bed shift a little violently.
But when he turned his head, he found Apple only frowning a little, but there was no sign of her waking up whatsoever.
"No way..." Jayden grumbled. He then turned around and faced Apple's face, staring at her with desperate eyes, because he didn't know what to do now.
Jayden then reached out his hand and was about to pinch her cheek, but on second thought, he also didn't have the heart to wake Apple because she was sleeping so soundly.
In the end, he took a deep breath and exhaled heavily and gently caressed the girl's cheek before he finally pulled her into his arms.
"How dare you Apple..." Jayden grumbled. "So, what should I do now..." he bowed his head solemnly, his gaze filled with sadness and annoyance.
But, at this point, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't actually wake Apple for such selfish reasons, could he?
=============================
Apple felt so refreshed and energized when she woke up this morning. She felt all her tiredness was gone as she slept so soundly.
And when she felt the warm sunlight entering their room through the open window and the distinct sll of the sea, she seed to be filled with an extraordinary energy.
It was rare for her to wake up in such a light and carefree mood, therefore, to her surprise when she stretched her body and turned around, she found Jayden sulking while staring at her.
"What is it?" asked Apple in bewildernt. She was still a little sleepy and being hugged by Jayden like this made her very comfortable. "Why do you look like you didn't sleep all night?"
Jayden hissed. "I didn't sleep last night," he grumbled. He was sulking.
"Why?" asked Apple, looking at him with an innocent face. "You have insomnia?"
At this point, Apple had completely forgotten what she had done last night, because she didn't think much of it and it wasn't a big deal for her to rember it until this beautiful morning.
"You really don't rember?" Jayden asked in disbelief, to which to his horror, Apple shook her head. "You got excited and left to sleep one your own."
"Just because of that?" asked Apple wide-eyed.
"Not 'just because of that'. This is a big problem." Jayden pinched the tip of Apple's nose in exasperation. "You have no idea how tornted I was."
Hearing Jayden say that, Apple just burst out laughing.
"Okay, should I pay for it now?" asked Apple in a low voice, whispering into his ear, which made Jayden smile happily.
"You have to pay it along with the interest…" Jayden replied.
=======================
It seed like it would be very wrong to call this a brunch or breakfast, since it was now close to lunch ti.
"Eat slowly, no one will steal the food from your plate," Jayden said cheerfully, help Apple to tie her long hair into a ssy ponytail.
"You starved ," Apple grumbled. She didn't eat like a starving man, of course not, she wouldn't embarrass herself in a fancy beachside restaurant like this, but she was serious when she said she was starving.
"No way," Jayden said quickly. "I let you 'eat ' ti and ti again, so there's no way I'd let you starve."
Apple gritted her teeth, she didn't know whether to be angry or laugh when she heard the joke, so she intended to step on Jayden's feet which were under the table, but the man swiftly avoided her.
Looks like Jayden knew Apple enough by now to say what she was going to do.
The two of them then enjoyed their al while gazing at the open sea which looked beautiful under the reflection of the midday sun, like a dazzling sea of twinkling stars.
"We're going over to my parents' house this afternoon," Jayden said as he deboned a fish and placed it on Apple's plate.
"Have you inford them of our arrival?" asked Apple.
"No."
"No?"
"It's a surprise for them," Jayden replied cheerfully. He wanted to take revenge on his father and mother for the last ti they ca unannounced.
On the other hand, Apple found it a little difficult to follow the 'surprises' in Jayden's family.
"Jayden? What are you doing here?"
A woman's voice greeted them, as she walked toward the two of them, which made Apple turn and look at the girl.
However, it wasn't the girl who greeted Jayden who beca the center of attention, but the man walking beside her.
Apple recognized the man, they had t once at a bar and it seed Jayden rembered him too, as his smile turned cold when his eyes caught the man's figure.
"I didn't expect you to be here…" The girl continued to speak, not noticing Jayden's piercing gaze on her male friend.
