Because I simply love you

Chapter 114: From the couch to the bed

Nana jolted in surprise when he flicked his tongue over it. She shuddered. He licked and kissed as if he never wants this to end.

He pressed his soft lips giving feather-like kisses along her neckline. Once he reached the end, he would again trace back her neck with his kisses. She clutched the bedsheet hard.

Nana felt as if her entire body was lit on fire. She felt a strange sensation bubbling inside her stomach.

She was going to push him away when she felt him resting his head again on her neck. She saw him breathe evenly.

He was asleep. He seemed so relaxed like he was finally getting proper rest after so many days.

Is he not sleeping properly? There are faint bags under his eyes.

She felt bad and bit her lips. She slowly removed his hand from her waist and tried to get up. It was difficult to move him since his whole body weight was on her but she managed it somehow.

She stood up supporting herself on one leg.

She touched her neck. She could still feel the scorching heat from his kisses. She immediately withdrew her hand. She closed her eyes trying to calm herself down.

She once again covered him with the blanket and sat on the couch.

The twins must be already asleep. Forget it. I will just sleep here tonight.

She laid on the couch but couldn't sleep. She looked at Jinhai sleeping peacefully.

Why? Why can't I seem to avoid him? No matter what I do to stay away from him, destiny always brings us back together. I'm Chen Jianyu's girlfriend now. What more should I do?

---

After everything went silent, Jinhai slowly opened his eyes. He gazed at Nana with indecipherable emotions. He got up and tip-toed to the couch.

He kneeled down on the floor and sat beside her.

He looked at her, imprinting her every feature in his mind; her long eyelashes, her small nose, her soft cheeks, her plump lips.

Her lipshe stared at her lips. Like an invisible force pulling him towards her, he gently kissed her. He felt her lips like a drug, hopelessly addicting him to them. He slowly moved his lips on hers trying not to wake her up. After a minute, he let go.

He sat beside her for a long, long time simply gazing at her.

He looked at her ankle that was hurt. He caressed it seemingly wanting to take away her pain. He saw how uncomfortable she was sleeping on that small couch.

He got up and very slowly, picked Nana up in his arms. He walked towards the bed and gently laid her on it. He adjusted her feet to make her comfortable.

He got to the other side and climbed onto the bed. He put his right arm over her head combing his fingers through her hair. He snaked his left arm around her waist entrapping her in his hug. He could feel her soft breaths on his chest. Near her ear, he softly spoke, "Please forgive me for being so selfish."

He kissed her forehead and closed his eyes.

The next morning, the warm sunlight rays shined through the window fluttering Nana's eyelids.

She slowly opened her eyes. She blinked a few times in an attempt to help her eyes adjust to the light.

In her daze, she remembered how she had slept on the couch. She opened her eyes expecting to see herself on it, but to her shock, a completely different view greeted her.

The first thing she saw was a broad chest. She blinked her eyes rapidly.

Huh?

She felt someone's breathing on her forehead.

Her disorientation instantly faded away. She looked around and the realization struck her as if she was zapped by a thousand volts of electricity.

She saw herself in Jinhai's arms, his hands over her head and on her waist, her face touching his chest. She was completely wrapped in his hug.

Her eyes widened like her eyeballs would get out of her sockets.

What!!! Why!!!? Why am I on the bed!? I was on the couch! How did I come here and s-sleep beside him?

She frantically tried to get up. Her movement caused Jinhai to furrow his brows. He opened his eyes to see Nana trying to untangle herself from his arms.

"Hm?", he mumbled.

She froze. No! What if he misunderstands me!

She desperately tried to get up but a shooting pain shot up from her ankle.

"Ouch!"

"Stop.", she heard a low voice.

She stiffened.

Jinhai got out of the bed and helped Nana sit. He carefully placed her ankle in the right position.

She gulped. She was panicking. She immediately tried to clear herself. "Mr. Liu Jinhai. I-I really don't know about this. I swear I was on the couch. Please-"

"Sshhh.", he put his finger on her lips.

She stopped talking.

"I know. I know that you are not that kind of a girl. I know you didn't do anything.", he murmured to himself, "I'm the despicable one."

"Huh?", she knitted her brows.

He shook his head. "Nothing. How did I come here?"

She frowned. "You-you don't remember anything?"

"No. I only remember that I was drunk and I drove my car, but after that everything is blurred and hazy in my memory."

"Ohdo you not remember what happened l-last night?"

"Last night? Did something happen?", he tilted his head.

"No! It's nothing.", she didn't know whether to feel happy or sad. It is best that he doesn't remember.

She then said, "Now that you remind me of it", she narrowed her eyes at him. Jinhai blinked his eyes to make sure that she was actually angry about something.

Does she know

"What were you thinking of driving when you were so drunk!?", she puffed her cheeks.

He watched her dumbfounded.

"Do you know how dangerous it is? Not only for you but for other people as well. You could have caused an accident! You could have hurt yourself. How can you be so irresponsible?"

Jinhai didn't know how to react.

The first time somebody ever scolded him
