Kimberly couldn’t sleep that night, no matter how hard she tried to. She kept thinking about all Christine had told her that day.

How could someone lose so many loved ones in such a short period of time and still manage to stay strong? She felt sorry for him for having to go through all of that.

All the thinking made Kimberly dehydrated, she needed a glass of water so she got out of bed and headed for the kitchen.

On her way to the kitchen, she noticed the door to Roy’s bedroom was slightly ajar. She contemplated whether or not to take a peek inside to find out if he was home. She decided not to snoop around a second time as that was her previous mistake which brought them to the present state they were in.

Hesitantly tearing her eyes away from Roy’s bedroom door, she continued her journey to the kitchen.

After quenching her thirst, she decided to go back to bed. She wished it could come as simple and quickly as it sounds because it has been difficult for her to fall asleep for days now.

Before getting to her bedroom, Kimberly couldn’t stop herself from again staring at Roy’s slightly opened door. She wasn’t thinking when her hand reached for the door knob and opened it as quietly as possible.

She looked around the room and her eyes caught the most handsome sight. Roy looked like a Greek god while asleep as his long black locks were let loose this time, giving him an even more attractive look.

Kimberly couldn’t take her eyes off his shirtless body as his abs were a sight to behold with his beautifully tanned skin, making him all the more perfect. She stared lovingly at his sleeping form for what felt like forever when she noticed him start to stir in his sleep, this made her panic as she had no idea how to explain what she was doing in his room. But, soon she realized that he wasn’t waking up, rather he was having a nightmare.

Kimberly felt compelled to wake him up, but that would only put them in a more awkward situation.

As if on impulse, her fingers reached for his arm, slowly caressing it. She honestly had no idea if what she was doing was helping, but she was quite worried and wanted him to get out of whatever nightmare he was in getting him to wake up. So, she continued stroking his arm until she noticed he was no longer stirring and has relaxed to her touch.

Once she was certain he was sound asleep, she reluctantly turned around and started on her way to her bedroom but she didn’t do that without giving him one last look.

If she wouldn’t be seeing him the next day, she might as well memorize this image of him.

Roy slept in the next morning, to his surprise. He was woken by the sound of his ringing phone, causing him to groan in annoyance before tiredly reaching for it.

“Hello?” he grunted, not too happy about being woken up by whoever it was.copy right hot novel pub
