" Are you asleep?" He asks in a gentle harsh whisper, his hand tightening lightly on my bare shoulder.
" Nope." I answer lazily. It is the first time I am sleeping over at his place, in his bed. The feeling is almost like a vacation to me, finally a change after 4 months. Though I must admit that my bed is more comfortable than his lumpy mattress.
" I did not sleep with that girl." He said suddenly. " I merely went out for a drink with her."
I look up at him as he speaks. He is ready to talk about it and I am more than ready to listen. He shifts slightly so he can see all of my face but instead I snuggled closer to him, wanting to feel his comfort verbally and physically.
" She's a staff." He continued. " The day the reporters caught us. The whole group of staff, 10 of us, went drinking to celebrate the start of a new show.
" She was drunk and I was going to send her home. A reporter caught us getting into a cab but not the rest whom were behind us."
I closed my eyes so I can listen to him with my heart. After so many months together, I hope I can hear him with more than just my ears.
" A week later she came to work and announced that she is pregnant~" He stopped abruptly when he felt my shoulder stiffens.
" She's married?" I ask with a slight tremor in my voice.
" She's not."
" Then how did she~" I ask with dread.
" She has a boyfriend and they are going to be married in July." He replied. The tension in my shoulder slipped away and I am sure he can feel it. When I look up, I saw him grinning at me.
" You teased me on purpose, didn't you?" I confront him with mock anger. Sitting up from his arms, I was ready to jump out of bed to deprive him further. But with a strong yank, he pulled me back into his arms and imprisoned me with his stron arms.
" I won't forgive you for this!" I protest as he lunged at me, pushing me back onto his uncomfortable mattress, locking his lips firmly with mine.
