Seduce me, honey.

CHAPTER NINE

Turning his gaze to her for a moment, he noticed something strange with her looks and her facial expression.

When the girl will turn to look at him, he looked away and pretended he wasn't looking at her.

The girl looks straight at the road, seems like her mind is in another world.

He took a deep breath, and asks, "Broken-hearted?" Then, turned his look back to her. He noticed her face. She has a nice facial shape, even her pointed nose, but her lips are pale.

But suddenly, he noticed the trembling of her body. She is wet and her lips are a bit pale.

He didn't get any response from her, so he added, "You're getting pale."

Seems like she didn't hear any word from him, she didn't even respond.

He shrugged, looking at her while she was still in that position. She didn't care even if it was so cold and she was wet.

Hugging herself, she blow some air and took a deep breath. Inhale, exhale.

He couldn't take it, so he asks, "Where do you live so...I'll take you there?"

She flashed him a cold look, and then shook her head and shrugged.

"I'll take you home, or if you have nowhere to go, you can stay at my house. Don't worry, I'm the only one there,” he added.

Not knowing why he suddenly thought of offering her to stay at his house when they don't know each other. Maybe she thinks differently.

What's his plan? Is he planning something to do with her? Why he offered her such a thing?...

Looking straight at him as if she was thinking about something, she coldly said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I can go home on my own." Then, she looked away indifferently.

But Anton wants her to go home and rest. Not knowing the reason but he's worried about her, a strange girl.

"I will take you home. Don't worry, I'm not like the man you are thinking." He smiled afterward.

The girl just shrugged her shoulders and pay attention to him.

"I want to go home now but I want to wait for you. I want to make sure you'll go home safely."

A smile appeared on her cold face, but the smile seems to be mixed with annoyance. "Really?" she asked with a laugh as if she was annoyed.

Is he that annoying to talk to?

He looked at her again and opened his mouth to speak when he noticed something about her. It could be seen in her puffy eyes. He asks, "Are you drunk?"

He just now noticed that she seems to have been drinking.

The puffiness of her eyes could be seen. Perhaps, it's because of heartbreak? Is that the reason why she's walking in the rain?

"Just a little," she answered coldly while trying to hug herself from the cold. Because he couldn't stand it, he took off his jacket for a moment and put it on her.

She didn't try to take it away or give it back to him. She was really cold.

Not knowing why he have to wait for her, he doesn't even know her. Maybe he just got curious about what happened to her and why she was walking in the middle of the night.

"If you don't mind, you can rest in my house," he offered.

She stammered in cold, she says, "A-alright."

He grinned upon hearing this.

They waited for a taxi to pass but still none. Since his house is not far from the bar, it is walkable. They can walk until they get to the house if it's still raining, although it's not heavy, she doesn't want to walk any further.

Maybe she's tired now.

"My house is not that far. Can you still walk?" He asked a little shyly.

"Yeah. I can still do it but my hills are high, so it hurts my feet," she answered.

Looking at her feet which were already red, he thought of something.

"Umm...I have slippers in my bag for emergencies. You can use it."

"B-but..." He didn't wait for her to finish what she was going to say. He took it from the bag and removed her heels. He put the slippers on her since she was unable to do it.

Confusedly staring at him, at what he was doing, it reminded her of her past when her boyfriend did the same. The memories caused heartache.

"Done. You can walk." Then, glance up at her.

She smiled slightly and quickly took her smile back, and focused her attention on the road. She didn't even say thank you to him.

They walked until they reached the house.

He opened the gate, and says, "Come in."

She sat down on the sofa in the living room, and then he got her some tea to warm her stomach.

"Thank you."

He also gets some shirts for her wet clothes. "Get change first. Wearing wet clothes is not good." Then, he handed her the shirt and she immediately took it.

She was about to undress even though he was in front of her, but she looked at him. She stared at him, signaling him to leave because she will change her clothes. He immediately read what was on her mind so he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait."

"Why?" she asked.

"Is…" he paused, waiting for the right opportunity to complete his sentence. He took a deep breath, and continues, "...is your whole body wet?"

Nodding, she answered, "Y-Yes."

He thought for a moment. Thinking she was wet and he only gave her a shirt.

She's wet... does he have to give her underwear?

"Wait for a minute. I'll be back," he said hurriedly and immediately left.

Embarrassing, but can't she just wear it like that? Although she wears long clothes, she still needs underwear and a bra, isn't she?

Without thinking he would be embarrassed, he went to the mall to buy her underwear, underwear for a stranger girl she didn't know.

He noticed that the saleslady in the mall was staring at him while he was looking for a dozen of underwear. It even made him laugh a little.

He bought her a dozen of underwear since he didn't want to choose anymore, and then came back right away.

He took a deep breath to give it to her.

He thought, is she going to laugh at me?

He shrugged and approached her, and then handed her the paper bag.

Staring at the paper bag, she suppresses her laughter so as not to offend him. She gave a warm smile and took it back quickly. She says, "You even bothered to buy."

"Take a shower, and then use my shirt."

Nodding, she immediately left and went to the bathroom.

Preparing their dinner, Anton got confused about her. Many things entered his mind.

How weird? Why is he doing these things to a stranger girl?...

Eating and waiting for her, he saw her bag with a locket. It was a picture.

She and her boyfriend.

He just ignored it and continues eating.

Looking at her loose shirt, she got out of the bathroom and closed the door.

Upon seeing her, wearing the loose shirt, he says, "Take a seat."

She sat opposite his chair and joined him in eating.

Anton, on the other hand, was staring at her. She has a pretty face. But tears could be traced on her face.

"Maybe I'll just sleep here," she suddenly said and glance up at him.

"You better sleep with me," he suggested.

Sleep with him?...hmmm…

"W-what?" she asked in surprise.

"Never mind." Then, he stood up, he says, "You can sleep here in the living room. Sleep well and goodnight." Then, he went straight to his room.

He closed his eyes to sleep but he couldn't sleep. Seems like many things are bothering him. Thinking, he got up to the bed and opened the door, and suddenly, he stepped back in surprise.

The girl he saw tonight was standing in front of his bedroom door. She's staggering.

Is she drunk? Again?

Did she drink his wine? How amazing she is and she even managed to drink his favorite wine?

How amazing!

Her gaze and movements are so staggered that at any moment she will fall if she does not have her balance. Staggering, she stammered, "I w-want t-to sleep h-here." Then, she pushed him. He almost fell to the floor.

As if she owned this house, she went straight to his bed. She stretched out as if she owned his room.

A while ago, she was so depressed. Tears flowed down her face in heartache. She can't even think of how she could survive and recover from her past. The scene she saw where her boyfriend was with someone, cheating on her. It kept resonating in her mind.

In desperation, she wants to forget even just for a while, so she tours the house to find wine.

Then, she saw the wine…

Who permitted her to drink the wines in the fridge? Stunning woman.

Standing and staring at her, he couldn't believe the girl lying on his bed.

"Hey! Get out of my bed!" He yelled.

"I'm going to sleep!" she yelled too.

Couldn't believe it, he came closer and sat on the bed while staring at her. She was lying on his bed and her head was tilted, and her eyes are closed.

He took that opportunity to look at her.

Thinks he still doesn't know her name, but for him, his name is not important tonight because, after tonight, they won't see each other again.

He asks in mind, 'Will I see her again if I stop outside the bar?'

He was always at the bar rather than at the office or home. What will he do at home if he doesn't have a family to go home to? No one is waiting for him.

At an unexpected moment, the girl coldly said, "I love him..."

Upon hearing this, he looked away. Not know why, but his heart beats so fast.

She continues, "...he betrayed me." Then, tears fell from his eyes. Full of sadness, "...he cheated on me," she added so cold.

Upon hearing her dramatic words, he was suddenly surrounded by many questions.

Is that the reason why she is walking on the road alone? Is that why her eyes are swollen? Is that the reason? Her boyfriend cheated on her? How could her boyfriend do that to her when she is so beautiful?

He glanced at her, and he says, "Sleep now. Stop crying. That won't do anything to you," he advised.

Swallowing her saliva, she coldly and weakly says, "I want to forget." Then, she opened her eyes and looked at him in the eyes.

Averting his gaze into something else, he noticed she was staring at him. He could feel how lonely she is right now.

"Can you look me in the eye?" she requested.

Frowning, he thought maybe she is crazy.

"W-what?" He stammered.

She's getting weird…

Then, she brought her face closer to him, and weakly and soft says, "I want to be with you all night."

"Excuse me?"

Upon hearing this, he almost swallowed his saliva at what she said.

She gradually came closer at the same time as his chest pounded rapidly. Although he already know these things, he still can't help but be nervous.

"Shhh," she scolded.
