Wendy's heart beat faster.
There were just three words, but she felt she could hear his deep voice.
Wendy took a breath and replied, "What's wrong?" "Come out."
Wendy clenched her phone, trying to ignore him.
However, her phone screen lit up again. There was a hint of threat between the lines, "Or I will come to the room to find you."
"I'll be right there!" Wendy replied quickly.
Looking at grandma who was sleeping soundly, she quietly got out of the quilt. She didn't wear slippers, instead, she held them in her hands and walked out.
It was dark outside the room. Wendy could only rely on the weak light from the phone's screen.
As she closed the door, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her, completely shrouding her.
Wendy could recognize his face very easily. She whispered, "Er, you..."
He had put on a shirt, which was not completely buttoned. It seemed that he just got off from the bed.
"I can't sleep." Charlie said in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Wendy asked.
"I can’t get used to the bed," Charlie answered, sounding like a child.
Wendy stayed silent for a while.
Grandma and she had not come back here for a long time. The furniture was old, and the bed frame was a little loose. Moreover, he was used to sleeping in soft mattress, and he would indeed feel uncomfortable when he slept on that bed.
"What are we going to do next? There are no hotels nearby. You can go to my neighbor's house to stay for a night, but it's too late now." Wendy frowned slightly and didn't know what to do, "Or you can count the sheep? It's quite good way to help you sleep..."
She lowered her voice in the end because she saw his twitching lips.
Charlie reached out his hands, which was in his pocket, to hug around her waist, "I want you to sleep with me!"
Before Wendy could open her mouth, she was lifted up. Afraid of waking grandma up by making any noise, she struggled slightly, which was useless to Charlie.
In the blink of an eye, Charlie had dragged her to his room and shut the door.
Wendy was thrown on the bed. The bed frame immediately made a creaking sound.
She got up on her elbows. Charlie had already taken off his shirt, leaving only a pair of skinny briefs.
She was pressed on the bed by him.
"No!" "Why not?"
Wendy avoided his thin lips, "There's no condom..."
"I've brought some!" Charlie smiled.
He reached out one hand to get his trousers which was at the end of the bed. Then, he took out several colorful small packages from his pocket.
Under the faint moonlight, Wendy was naturally able to see what they are. She suddenly recalled the words that he had said in the car during the day, "Because I miss you. I want you." Her face started burning.
Charlie held her face and kissed her on the corner of her mouth.
Wendy shook her head and said, "No, it's not soundproofed..."
"I'll be gentler."
"Don’t cry out."
Soon, the only sound left in the room was the creaking of the bed frame.
The next morning, Wendy woke up and found that Charlie’s arm was still putting on her waist.
She was so embarrassed when she thought of last night, especially when she saw the tissues all over the floor.
She was ready to move his strong arm away. As she touched him, she heard his calm voice, "Are you awake?"
