It took him a while, but he eventually brushed her hair aside before saying, “…Don’t worry, I’m still here… I’m just going out to get you some sobering medicine-”
“No! You… You hurt me… So you need to be punished…! Feel my pain…!” interrupted the drunk as she began nibbling all over Hanley’s neck!
That, of course, sent Hanley’s lust flying through the roof! Taking a deep breath, Hanley replied, “…Princess, you’re going to regret this, so please just get some rest…”
Alas, Fabiola didn’t care, and after a short while, she heard him reluctantly add, “…I’m serious. Stop it.”
Though she wanted to fight back when he pried her off him, her anger had subsided, and her tiredness had already gotten the better of her… and shortly after, she was fast asleep…
Following a sigh of relief, Hanley then entered the bathroom… and when he saw all the hickeys on his neck, he couldn’t help but smile. Shaking his head, he then took a tub of water back to the bedroom and began gently cleaning Fabiola’s hands, face, and even her feet… and in the end, it was only morning when he finally decided to leave her room.
Just as he was about to attend to his own things, the doorbell rang… and when he got to it, he was surprised to see Layla there. She had a black coat on, and after taking a deep breath, she was prompted to say, “…Sorry for coming over so early, but… I couldn’t sleep.”
Unsure of what to expect, she quickly took a shower and donned some clothes before heading downstairs, hoping for an explanation… but when she sniffed the familiar scent of his cooking, her heart couldn’t help but warm up a little.
If he was still willing to care for her… Then maybe he wasn’t all that serious about the divorce after all…?
Feeling hopeful, she continued making her way to the kitchen… Alas, her hopes were immediately drained when she saw the familiar face standing right next to him…
