Until i fall inlove again 9 Chapter 9: Single, No boyfriend?

...

He shook his head afterwards.

There must be something wrong with his head.

This was all just an act for the little one.

She wasn't his wife! Not even his girlfriend!

She's just a stranger he met today. Only today! And he's having some crazy illusions already.

'But she felt good in my arms. I want to hold her again.'

He was reminded how soft her small body was. She smelled good too like jasmine flowers. She doesn't seem to be wearing any perfume so that must have been her natural body scent. It was a light fragrance as if soothing his nostrils and her skin was surprisingly soft but lean. Her long jet black hair was smooth and velvety he probably would never get tired running his fingers through them. Her waist was small, but her hips was full and well-defined. She has the right curves at the right places.

'She's just too sexy, damn it!'

A certain part of his body was already reacting.

He has never touched a woman his entire life. Never was he intimate with the opposite sex so this feelings were all foreign to him. Not that he was ignorant though, but he haven't really experienced them himself. He was never attracted to anyone in specific that's why. And those women who tend to approach him were never interesting enough.

'This woman though...'

Her looks weren't really outstanding. She definitely wasn't the model type not only because of her height. Her features isn't strong enough. She didn't possess a well-defined jaw but her cheekbones were proportioned to her oval face making her side-profile still as beautiful especially when she smiles. Her nosebridge is low and her nose was small and cute.

'Cute?!' He smirked inwardly.

But what he loves about her face the most was her lips and her eyes. Her lips has that sexy natural lip tail to it that some people would pay to get surgery for. Her lips were small, not too thin and not too full. She doesn't seem to be wearing any lipstick as well but they already seem to have those pinkish glow to it. He fought the urge to kiss her lips back at the washroom when he saw her disheveled appearance. And her eyes, her expressive eyes that looks so cheery and naughty whenever she smiles with her adorable dimples was quite amusing too. They have some sexy charm to it. She could look both cute and chic and mature at times.

'Damn!' He was already fantasizing about the woman!

He stood up from his chair abruptly and went out off the room without a word leaving the two startled.

He needs another cold shower.

Inside the room.

'What just happened?' Both Louie and Laurice looked at each other and then shrugged their shoulders afterwards.

They continued to read some stories together and later ended up both feeling sleepy and sluggish. Laurice placed the books back at shelf and snuggled back up with the little one.

"Let's take an afternoon nap darling. Your father wouldn't mind, would he?" Laurice yawned.

The little one nodded. His eye lids were dropping just like hers. Laurice smiled. Louie also smiled. Laurice smiled even more brightly when she saw the kid's sheepish smile. Then they hug closer. Moments later the both of them finally dozed off.

An hour passed.

The door opened and Sid slowly entered the guest room with a water basin and a towel on his hands.

He stared at the two sleeping figures lying on bed and was momentarily dazed. They both looked so peaceful in each other's arms. He walked to the woman's side and placed the basin on the table without averting his eyes away from her face then to his son's and was fixed back to the woman's face.

Laurice Azul.

That was her name. Twenty four years old. A natural born Filipino who was raised in the U.S. The only daughter of Leandro and Camilla Azul.

His assistant was diligent enough to have her background checked in a short span of time for him, but only did so according to his instructions. The assistant only provided the most basic information about the woman, and nothing too personal.

It was stated in her profile that she is still single 'legally' and have never been married. Livelihood currently unknown but a double degree holder in both Business and the Arts.

He found out that Laurice have only recently arrived in the country and is now currently residing in one of the exclusive villages in City B which is miles away from City A where the Walsh Villa is. City A is only a bit further away from the metro, which is the capital of the country.

'Single, no boyfriend?' Sid wondered. Not that he wasn't interested to know that's why he left that matter unconfirmed with his assistant, but he believed that he will get the answers himself even without asking.

Hmm.

True enough, he can now confirm that he was somewhat interested with this strange woman at his home.

She was first to none.

While he was in deep thought, a figure suddenly jolted in bed and woke up.

Laurice who was still half-asleep sluggishly looked around her, then under the dimlit room she saw a man standing in grandeur right on her bedside. Her eyes were simply mesmerized.

'So handsome!' She bit her lips unconsciously and stare blatantly at the man who was looking rather ravishing. He looked like her favorite American Actor who starred a famous romance film that she loved greatly.

'Gerard Butler?' Her brows furrowed.

'No no no! Not that devilish charmer.' Her eyes narrowed in slits.

'Oh! Jeffrey Dean Morgan! A young Jeffrey Dean Morgan!'

'So sexy with a devilish playful charm!'

Her heart was beating rather strangely.

'What the he**!'

After realization hits her hard, she was fully awoke in an instant!

'Am i attracted to this guy?!'

'Wait, where am i?!'

She recalled everything that had happened from her memory.

'It wasn't a dream.' She realized right after.

"Sorry to wake you." The handsome devil have spoken.

Laurice jolted upon hearing his low deep voice.

"It's alright." She responded rather sheepishly recalling how she had just ogled the man right beside her.

'So shameless Laurice.' She reprimanded herself.

"I would rather let you sleep some more but your eyes are swelling." Sid sounded the same as usual and there were no apparent change on his face but she wanted to believe that he was somehow concerned about her.

Without warning, Sid who has already prepared the warm compress, sat beside her and gently dabbed the towel on the side of her face then to her eyes.

Laurice was dazed she could only close her eyes and her body unknowingly submitted to the man who was treating her with care.

'So warm.'

'What was happening?'

'If this was a dream, please don't wake me up.' She pleaded inwardly.

Eventually, the woman who was having such a wonderful time with the pampering unconsciously drifted back to her slumber.

Sid: " ... "

Sid was dumbfounded.
