One More Night

“Throw it away!” Kevin drops a word and turns the steering wheel gracefully away from the damp, dark shantytown.

“Throw it away? Throw what?” Nicole does not understand.

Kevin raises his eyebrows, grabs the bag from Nicole and brushes it out the window!

“What are you doing? There are my clothes in it!” Nicole is furious! Why does this man always be so bossy and never care about what others think?

“I will take you to buy some now.” Kevin proudly says, “You are embarrassing me by wearing those clothes. My woman can’t be so shabby!”

“My woman,” for some reason, Nicole suddenly feels a faint throb. She has been feeling lonely since her father was ill. Kevin’s words give her the illusion that she can count on someone. Although, that person, just her sex lover, a gold lord.

Today is the weekend and shopping malls are filled with a bustle of crowd, Kevin’s tall straight figure and his handsome face often attract the attention of others.

“Wow! That man is so handsome!”

“Is he a famous star? Why haven’t I seen him on tv?”

“Shall we go and ask for an autograph?”

“Oh, I dare not! There is a girlfriend next to him!”

“His girlfriend looks so ordinary!”

“Yes! She is not even good enough for him. Can she be his housekeeper?”

“It is supposed to be a housekeeper. How can such a handsome man like such a normal girl?”

Several little girls in high school uniforms walk around six times, looking at Kevin and Nicole and whispering from time to time.

Housekeeper? Nicole is spitting blood. Does she look so bad?

She looks at hers and Kevin’s shadow in the window of a nearby shop window. She wears an ordinary white shirt and comfortable wide loose ordinary black shorts and a pair of sports shoes. It is refreshing but yes, it’s ordinary.

Kevin, however, wears a well-tailored casual suit and has handsome cheeks. He is as elegant as a prince. With him walking next to her, she does look like a housekeeper.

Girls passing by cast their eyes on Kevin and Nicole feels uncomfortable walking around a mall with so many people staring at her, as if she is a monkey which is being watched in the zoo.

Kevin however, could not feel it at all. He walks leisurely and stops some time to look. In the end, he even enters in an adult sex shop.

Nicole tries to pretend she does not know him. As Kevin walks toward the sex shop, Nicole quietly steps back and turns away in silence.

There is a bookstore in the mall. Not many people scatter in two’s and threes.

Nicole looks at the book “World Art Appreciation” on the shelf. Jake had given her one.

Nicole opens the page and reads. The young man’s voice rings again in her ears . . .

“Nicole, look how talented you are! If you keep learning, you will be a famous international painter!”

Nicole does not really like painting, but in his words, she studied painting for three years. Until her Dad’s business went bankrupt and she could not afford the course.

“Nicole, I like your sketches. Everyone in there seems to have a noble soul.”

Noble soul. Jake, I can’t paint that anymore, because my soul has been sold to the devil.

Looking at the familiar pages of the book, she seems to be back in the spring five years ago.

Nicole covers her mouth and her tears suddenly flow without warning. There is a sudden pain in her heart, like being cut by a sharp knife. It seems to be able to hear the sound of blood flowing out.

The tears roll down and she weeps silently against the bookshelf and pain trickles down in her heart as if engulfing her completely.

Suddenly, the phone rings. Nicole wipes her tears and clears her throat. She is trying to sound like nothing happened.

“Hello! I -” Before she finished what she wanted to say, she heard Kevin’s growl on the other end of the phone.

“Nicole Richard! Where the hell have you been?”

Is it necessary for him to speak so harshly?

Nicole wiping tears from her cheeks says as if nothing had happened, “I am just hanging out. Are you still there? I am coming to see you.”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

But she does not want to go into the adult sex shop, it is embarrassing.

After a moment of silence on the phone, Kevin talks again, “What are you crying about?”

Nicole freezes and looks around in amazement.

Kevin stands at the back shelf looking at her, wearing a headset and carrying several shopping bags in both hands. It seems he has bought a lot at the adult sex shop.

“I…” Nicole does not know what to say. So, she lowers her head and flusters the tears off her face.

Kevin steps toward Nicole with a cold face. His eyes were as deep as a pool, “What are you crying about?”

“Oh, nothing. My… My eyes suddenly catch the sands.” Says Nicole as she wipes her tears.

There are tears on her long eyelashes and her pale face is full of despair. It looks pitiful, unlike the image of her normal style of a naughty cat.

Kevin noticed the book Nicole holding in her hand, he realized that there’s a sentimental value from that book.

“Rule Number Three, never lie to me. You forgot?” Kevin’s thick eyebrows winkle dangerously.

“Uhm…” Nicole could not look him in the eye. She put the book back on the shelf. She has to change the subject and says, “Kevin, what did you just buy?”

“What did you just call me?” Kevin’s eyes suddenly light up.

Nicole always called him “Hey” or ironically “President George.” For the first time, Nicole calls him by his name.

“I…” Nicole gets a little spooked by Kevin’s eyes. She keeps her head down and can’t speak with guilt.

Damn it! Why should she be guilty? Why does she feel like meeting her adulterer and being caught in bed?

Kevin thinks she is shy and he is in a good mood to see Nicole being shy.

Fondly kneading her hair, Kevin takes her into his arms and hugs her tightly!

Nicole is forced to lean against his chest. Kevin’s heart beats strongly and powerfully. It is so calm like the safest haven in the world. Nicole’s heart touched slightly and her aversion to Kevin seems less intense. Her sadness even slowly goes down.

For the first time, Nicole feels Kevin’s arms are so warm that she forgets the sadness and the cold.

People come and go. A lot of people around them look at them curiously.

Nicole is embarrassed. She pushes Kevin’s waist. Instead of letting go, Kevin holds Nicole even tighter.

His jaw rubs against her hair, his lips press against her ears and he whispers, “Shhii, don’t move.” His voice is low and gentle. His warm breath fell on her neck. It is a little itchy.

The sun shines through the window and sprinkles on the two people, a tall and handsome man, and a small and beautiful girl. The golden light is dancing, as beautiful as a painting.

Unfortunately, Nicole’s fondness for Kevin ends after this hug.

When they return to the mansion, Nicole’s fondness for Kevin goes straight to zero. Kevin bought her a lot of clothes. The coats look perfectly normal. But the pile of sleeping skirts and underwear turn Nicole’s face into a red tomato.

“Kevin George, you!” Nicole leaves the pile. Her white face flushes.

“What are you pretending?! This is not your first time! Go and take a bath and put on these clothes! Hurry up!” Kevin has regained his cool and pride. The words pierce Nicole’s heart like a knife.

“You are a pervert!” Nicole gives him a hard look and turns to walk upstairs. Only a bad woman wears that dress, okay? She is ashamed to death!

“Rule Number Four, serve your Master! Especially in bed! Unless, you want your father to die.” Kevin drops that phrase and walks to the bedroom.

“After a bath, put on that underwear and lie down on the queen bed.” He adds that and succeeds in seeing Nicole’s face turn from red to white.

Nicole has washed slowly and tries to delay time in a large bathroom. Looking at the back underwear that is made up of only a few ropes on the bathroom bench, she feels uncomfortable.

Kevin you big psycho, pig! Nicole curses in her heart.

The bathroom window is large. There is a manicured lawn outside. If she climbs the window to escape, she would no longer have to endure Kevin!

The thought of running through the window stays in Nicole’s head. But can she?

According to the doctor, the full physical examination has been done for her dad. If the operation is successful and the later period also recovered well, he is completely able to recover. How could she give up the chance to cure her father?

It is just being a mistress for three years. She can take it! She can do anything for her beloved father. Since she can’t choose, and then face it! She can endure the fatigue of three jobs, the scolding and abuse of others, just as well as Kevin!

Nicole decided to turn off the sprinklers. She dries the drops with a soft bath towel. Going to the bathroom bench, her fingers stretch toward the black transparent nightdress.

The door of the bathroom is knocked. There was a deep voice from Kevin outside, “Nicole, do you need an hour to take a bath? Come out of there!”

She cannot delay it anymore! Nicole stands up and tries to pull the dress down, hoping to cover herself a little more.

“What the hell are you doing?! Come out now!” Kevin’s voice is already full of anger.

Taking a deep breath, Nicole walks toward the door. Her long fingers are trembling, reaching toward the door lock.

When he sees Nicole, Kevin’s dark eyes are blazing. He walks into Nicole and gently lifts her chin with his index finger, “Look at me.”

Nicole is too ashamed to open her eyes. Her long lashes flutter and cast a fan-shaped shadow over her face.

It is unbearable! Kevin leans over her, his hot lips burning with the heat of the fire and land at Nicole’s lips. He really likes Nicole’s soft lips with warm kisses.

He embraced her tightly and lay down on the big bed, and they shared the whole night together.
