Apple woke up in the middle of the night feeling hungry, even though she had eaten quite a lot at dinner last night, but she was starving again, she wanted sothing sweet.
She then rembered the cake she had bought on the way ho, from a cake shop she chanced upon and looked very attractive.
Apple then removed Jayden's hand that was hugging her, luckily, this ti the man didn't hug her very tightly, like he usually did, maybe because he was afraid that sothing might happen to Apple's pregnancy, so he didn't dare to do that kind of thing.
Also, tonight Jayden seed to be sleeping very soundly, he looked so tired lately, that when Apple removed his hand and placed it above a pillow to cuddle it instead, he was still asleep.
Even when Apple got out of bed and out of the room, Jayden still didn't wake up.
Apple then walked into the kitchen and found the box of cake she had bought and sliced a piece for herself. She also took so milk and filled a glass to the brim.
While enjoying her late night snack, Apple watched a funny video on her cellphone when a ssage from Gladys ca in. The content of the ssage was only a short question.
[Asleep?]
Apple then rembered her idea to make Gladys her maid of honor, so instead of replying to the ssage, Apple directly called her, which she picked up on the first ring.
"What is it?" asked Apple. She heard Gladys whispering, sounding a little worried. "I was snacking, are you okay?"
"Derek is here." And then, in the ten minutes that followed, Gladys explained how Derek got there.
Apparently, since Gladys thought all the issues regarding Derek had been resolved, that the man would no longer bother her, she lowered her guard, since Derek was no longer trying to co to the apartnt or trying to contact her.
However, it turned out to be far beyond Gladys' expectations, because tonight, an hour ago, Derek ca back to her apartnt very drunk and Gladys couldn't bear to send him ho, especially since she didn't know where the n lived either.
"As for where he lives now, I can tell you the address," Apple said as she ate her cake and then when the piece she had cut had disappeared into her stomach, she took a new piece and started eating again. The taste of this cake suited her palette and this made her very happy.
"How do you know where he lives?" asked Gladys in surprise.
And then, Apple told how she t Derek at her stepfather's house when her mother left her stepbrother at Pyro's house just like that and how surprised she was when she found Derek there, that he was the one who opened the door for Apple.
"This world is really small, isn't it?" said Gladys in a tired tone. How could they et each other by chance like that? "I heard news about you in the dia, are you okay?" asked Gladys, a little worried.
"Yeah, I'm fine," said Apple lightly as she finished her second slice of cake and a glass of milk. She felt very full now. "The news didn't bother ."
"In that case, thank God." Gladys then heaved a sigh of relief. "Then what should I do with this man?"
Feeling pity, Gladys let Derek in. And now, he was in the living room of her apartnt, fast asleep, his body full of a strong sll of alcohol and this left Gladys flinching.
"I'll send my mom's ho address now, you can pack him there by asking soone for help," Apple said in a light tone. She said it as if Derek was an item and not a person.
"Oh, okay… I'll do that." Gladys then glanced at the delirious Derek. "He kept spouting apologies to , even in his sleep."
"So?" asked Apple skeptically. "You're going to take him back?"
"Of course not," Gladys answered quickly. She wasn't going to take Derek back. Especially after what he had done and after all she'd t other n and needless to say, her breakup with Derek wasn't as painful as she had previously thought. "I just need a little idea what to do with this creature."
"Ah, I have an idea…" said Apple with sparkling eyes.
"What?" Gladys asked enthusiastically.
But, then Apple hesitated a little, because this was very malicious, actually this idea had been in her head since she found out that Kyle cheated on her. She wanted to do it for revenge, only Apple didn't get the chance to carry out the idea.
"What? Just say it," urged Gladys, curious as to what idea Apple would give her, whether it was a very dangerous thing.
"It's not dangerous, it's just…"
And that was how Apple told her the idea she had in her head about her revenge plan that never materialized.
=======================
Jayden woke up when he felt that what he was hugging was not his woman's body and a pillow instead.
"Apple?" Jayden called out to her in a still hoarse voice. He looked around and tried to find the girl, but it seed she wasn't in the room. From the direction of the bathroom, Jayden did not hear any sounds either.
Therefore, he imdiately got out of bed and headed straight for the kitchen, because he knew that Apple would usually snack at night at this hour.
And sure enough, as he walked closer, he could hear Apple's voice on the phone with soone, but when he walked in, the call was cut short while she said goodnight to Gladys.
Hm, it turned out she called Gladys.
"Why didn't you co back soon..." Jayden said in a still sleepy voice, he then laid his head on Apple's shoulder and muttered. "Did you call Gladys?" he asked, his eyes closed. He was still sleepy and his hair that was starting to get a little long looked ssy.
Apple rubbed the man's cheek and he snuggled closer to her, yawning.
"Yeah, I called her earlier," Apple said, but then she gasped.
"What is it?" Jayden asked, he then raised his head to look at Apple's face, because she made a sound like that suddenly.
"I forgot to ask her to be the maid of honor for our wedding," said Apple, because earlier they were busy talking about how to get back at Derek, she had forgotten why she had called Gladys in the first place.
"You can see her tomorrow," Jayden muttered, then stood up and pulled Apple to her feet as well. "Let's go back to the room, I don't want to sleep alone," he said.
Jayden then pulled Apple back into the room, so they could go back to sleep.
Apple finally complied after dumping her plate and glass into the sink, while Jayden walked with Apple beside him, eyes half closed.
He shouldn't have to wake up, right? He could continue sleeping again if he was really sleepy like this, he didn't need to wake up and look for her to sleep.
And when they finally got to the room, Jayden fell straight into bed hugging Apple. It didn't take long for the man to fall back asleep because a minute later, Apple could hear his soft snoring.
"You're so cute..." Apple said with a smile and rubbed Jayden's head, helping him fall asleep faster.
Their wedding was only a few weeks away and Apple had no idea she would co this far in her relationship with Jayden or that she would be pregnant with their child already.
If Apple had doubts at first, but she now firmly believed that if she could choose one person to spend the rest of her life with, then she would choose Jayden without any hesitation.
========================
After getting a call from Apple and getting an idea how to repay her hurt feelings for being betrayed by Derek, Gladys began to think of the ssage she wanted to deliver.
anwhile, beside her, with a flushed face and a body reeking of alcohol, Derek was sleeping on the sofa in her living room.
This man made a fuss in the lobby earlier when he said he wanted to see Gladys and not only that, he even shouted apologies.
Even now, he was still delirious though he was fast asleep with a face as innocent as a baby and this made Gladys a little angry to see him.
And even though he kept calling out Gladys's na, the girl was fed up with Derek and how he treated her.
Maybe it was the sympathy and pity she had felt earlier when she saw him so ssed up in the apartnt lobby, but now, those feelings had faded completely and she felt very stupid for bringing this man here.
However, Apple's idea was worth trying, so Gladys called soone she knew and asked him to co over to her place right away, even though it was already midnight. Gladys would pay him double if he ca and got this job done by tonight too.
"Yeah, don't worry, I'll pay you handsoly, co now," Gladys said with a sweet and cheerful smile.
And after the person on the other end confird he'd be there in half an hour, Gladys hung up and looked at Derek with a mischievous smile.
On the other hand, the man was still unconscious and kept calling her na.
Gladys didn't seem to have to wait long, for twenty minutes later, the man she had called earlier was in the room, along with the tools she needed.
"We shouldn't be doing this when he's drunk," he warned.
"No problem, it's not life threatening, is it?"
"It isn't..."
