Paying Karma Love

25 Sleep with Me

Audrey could not count how long she had spent with Reiner in the darkness. He just hopes the electricity in the apartment will soon turn on. Either until when he had to fight against his own feelings, between wanting to keep hugging Reiner or immediately release himself from the situation that made his heart vacillate.

Audrey realized Reiner was just freaking out.

Don't think shit.

Remember he hates you so much.

Audrey who was deep in her own thoughts did not realize that the room was already illuminated by the light.

"So you want to keep hugging me?" reiner whispered in Audrey's ear.

Reiner's voice made Audrey sober and spontaneously released her embrace from Reiner's body.

"I'm sorry...Mister."

"Take your phone in the room and come back here soon. Wait for me," Reiner said as he moved out of his room.

Audrey could faintly hear Reiner talking to Nicko on the phone.

"Nicko, make sure this doesn't happen again. You have to make the management of this apartment responsible for their negligence."

He had already returned to being the arrogant and power-mad Mr. Reiner as I knew him.

I thought Audrey was relieved.

After returning to Reiner's room, Audrey felt an awkward atmosphere between the two of them.

"Sir, is there anything you need again? Can I go back to my room?" asked Audrey to ventured.

"Come sleep with me tonight."

"But, Mister..," Audrey replied in fear. Audrey suddenly remembered the painful act Reiner had done to her.

Reiner brought his face closer to Audrey's face as if he knew what the girl had in mind.

"Are you afraid I'll touch you..? Stop that stupid delusion of yours. I'll give you half of Zeus' company if I touch you tonight" Reiner mocked Audrey.

"Go to bed and accompany me."

Reiner laid himself down casually on the bed and pulled the blanket over. While Audrey still has not budged from her original sitting position.

"You want to sit there and stay up all night? Still afraid I'll do anything?"

"No, sir," Audrey replied shaking her head.

Audrey chose to follow Reiner's will because she was so tired of arguing at night. Audrey lies on the right side of the bed with her back to Reiner. That way, there was an empty space in the middle that was wide enough to create a distance between the two of them.

"Tomorrow morning don't wake me up.

Thank you for helping me."

"Yes, Sir."

If you don't want to be bothered by me why he forced me to sleep with him.

I thought Audrey was upset.

This guy changes very quickly. He threatened me for a moment, and he thanked me for a moment. I'd rather just sleep than think of her strangeness.

Audrey felt uncomfortable having to sleep together with Reiner in one bed. But the physical and mental fatigue she felt, made Audrey finally give up on the state and fall asleep.

...****************...

"It's noisy, Audrey, quickly turn off the alarm," said Reiner, who was still sleepy.

"Audrey.quick turn off the alarm."

With a feeling of laziness, Reiner was forced to wake up from his sleep because he could no longer bear the sound of such a loud alarm. She sees Audrey sleeping in her dream even though the alarm from her phone keeps sounding.

She is fit to be a sleeping princess. This alarm can't even wake him up.

thought Reiner astonished.

"Audrey, wake...Audrey, do you want to get fired for being late to the office? Audrey.."

"Hmmm..," Audrey squirmed and turned her body towards Reiner, but Audrey's eyes were still closed.

"Audrey.quickly get up! It's almost six in the morning."

Reiner shook Audrey's body harder for the girl to notice.

"Ah, don't bother me." replied Audrey reluctantly opening her eyes.

"Audrey, let's get up..."

In a semi-conscious state, Audrey felt annoyed that there were people disturbing her sleep. He also snapped at Reiner.

"Let me sleep...Why do you like to bother me...Go there.."

Audrey continued her sleep without caring about the sound of Reiner trying to wake her up.

Reiner who saw Audrey's pouting face paused his intention to wake the girl up.

Why is Audrey's expression so funny when she's asleep like this. He dared to yell at me. Is he feeling very upset with me?

muttered Reiner smiled to himself thinking about Audrey's reaction.

Because her eyes could not be closed, Reiner chose to take a bath and refresh himself. He picked up the light blue shirt that Audrey had prepared last night. Reiner looked at his own appearance in the mirror. Although reluctant to admit it directly, but he always liked all the clothes that Audrey chose for him.

Still sleeping. I'll have to wake him up after breakfast.

Reiner checked the groceries in the kitchen to see what foods he could make. He has been used to living independently since studying abroad. During that time Reiner also understood how to cook and take care of his own eating needs. After weighing in for some time, Reiner decided to make some toast and warm tea for himself and Audrey.

What time is it? Why my alarm doesn't sound at all.

murmured Audrey rubbed her two eyes which still felt heavy.

Audrey groped the table next to the bed to find her cell phone.

Oh my God, seven in fifteen minutes! I've been crazy to sleep all this time. Reiner will kill me.

I thought Audrey was panicking.

In a hurry, Audrey ran out of the room until it almost collided with Reiner.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Reiner. Why didn't you wake me,"

"wake you? I've done it many times but you dream like a sleeping princess. Take a quick shower" Reiner pretended to be angry.

Audrey who was still filled with panic hurriedly headed to her own room and took a shower as quickly as possible.

I don't have time to make breakfast. How'this?

Audrey walked into the kitchen in desperation because of the carelessness she had committed. He was afraid that today would be the last day for him to be able to work.

"Sit down and finish your breakfast! After that I'll take you to the office" Reiner said as he drank his tea.

"Sir, a.what are you making the bread and tea," Audrey asked in astonishment.

"Who else is in this apartment? Don't talk too much or you'll be late for the office."

"Yes, sir, sorry.."

Audrey no longer dared to ask Reiner anything else. But he still could not believe that Reiner offered to take him to the office. Doesn't the content of the marriage contract require them to keep this marriage a secret. Still ringing clearly in Audrey's ears, Nicko threatened her not to tell anyone that Reiner was her husband. If Reiner takes him to work, there's a risk the office guys will look and ask who Reiner is. Audrey does not want all of that until it happens, so later she will be accused of violating the contents of the marriage contract.

"Master, you don't need to deliver me. I'll take a taxi or taxi online as usual."

"Am I asking your opinion? Everything I say you must obey. Think of it as a favor because you helped me yesterday. So I don't owe you anything anymore" Reiner said.

"Alright, it's up to you, sir" replied Audrey resignedly.

Reiner's ever-changing attitude made Audrey even less and less understand what the man's thoughts were.
