Remedy For Love novel Chapter 7

Poppi saw it best to turn in early for the night, however, even as her head hit the pillow, she felt wide awake. The thought of having to get up early tomorrow to deal with the interview issue made a mess of her emotions and she found herself unable to sleep no matter how hard she tried.

After a long while of her tossing and turning, the door to the room opened and the lights turned on. Poppy quietly opened her eyes and saw Malcolm who simply glanced at her before heading to the bathroom.

Without really thinking about it too much, Poppi simply turned over and tried to go to sleep.

She was already a bit drowsy when the door opened. "Get down. You sleep on the floor," she heard Malcolm tell her in a cold voice.

Poppi groaned. "Don't want to. The floor is too hard."

"Are you sure you don't want to move?" Malcolm asked in a threatening tone.

His words shocked her back awake and Poppi quickly turned over to find him already closing in on her. She gulped and quickly made space for him. "I'll give you half the bed."

"I want the entire bed," he said before promptly lying down beside her.

"Fine, I'll go sleep outside then," Poppi grumbled with a pout. However, just as she was about to get out, Malcolm suddenly reached out to grab her and Poppi found herself fall back into the sheets.

He crawled on top so that he pressed down on her body. "Do you want to make Grandma angry again? Sleeping outside? How could you?"

The sight of this man on top of her made Poppi heave. Just the smell of the bath soap on his body made her heart beat faster for some unknown reason. Meanwhile, all Malcolm could see was her sweet yet seductive eyes that seemed to be reeling him in. He too, found it hard to breathe as they remained motionless in the heat of the moment.

The night was tranquil and not a sound could be heard within their room, only their hot, labored breathing as the seconds passed.

"I'm on my period. I can't sleep on the cold floor," Poppi suddenly told him, breaking the moment. "How about just sleeping in the same bed?"

Malcolm frowned. "Are you sure?"

Poppi turned her head away. "Are you going to force me?" "Poppi..." Malcolm gritted his teeth as he uttered her name. After a few seconds, he quietly got off her and lay down on his side of the bed. "Just go to sleep."

Poppi couldn't help the sigh of relief that escaped her. She quickly pulled the quilt over her head and turned over. "Well just sleep tonight."

Nighttime was for sleeping anyway, right? It wasn't the first time they spent a night together. This time though, it was less embarrassing because they both knew nothing was going to happen between them since they were both sober.

Besides, there was Celine.

Squeak!

In the mountain, numerous insects always chirped all throughout the day and even during the night. The ambiance these chirps provided complemented the bright moonlit sky and the feel of the summer breeze that blew all over the mountain. It was truly a romantic and mysterious night.

Malcolm was just about to fall asleep when he suddenly felt Poppi move beside him. He quietly opened his eyes and turned his head towards her for some reason. Poppi's head popped out from the quilt. Her eyes were closed but there was a sincere smile on her lips.

As he stared at her like this, Malcolm couldn't help but notice how delicate her features were and how it thoroughly fascinated him. What was more unbelievable was the sincere happiness she radiated as she slept.

"Malcolm..."

she muttered before suddenly opening her eyes and turning her head towards him. To her utter surprise, Malcolm stared right back at her.
