A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1104

"Your bro sent me to pick you up."

After Hailey finished speaking, she bent down, handing the water to Cedric's lips, "No hangover cure around here. You better hydrate to ease up a bit."

Groggy Cedric glanced at Hailey and then at the water she handed him. He was a bit surprised, and a bit delighted, slowly sipping the water.

He found the mineral water to have a sweet taste.

Seeing Cedric gulped down the whole glass of water, Hailey got up to help him, "Let's go, I'll take you home."

He felt her soft fingers. When they touched his arm, his heart rate sped up, feeling a tingling sensation as if electricity was flowing through his body.

He stood up, looked at Hailey, who was much shorter than him. She was struggling to support his tall frame, "Thanks..."

Hailey shook her head, "Where did you park your car?"

Cedric, with a splitting headache, turned to look at his coat, tried to bend down to get the keys from his coat pocket, but because he was unsteady, he suddenly fell back onto the couch, taking Hailey down with him.

Their lips met as they fell.

It was just a brief contact, but it froze them both. Hailey was the first to snap back, tried to get up, but was held tightly by Cedric.

"Hailey..."

He called her name, his eyes full of desire.
