Memories Of The Night

Aaron is practically engulfing Katrina, trapping her between his body and the sink. In other circ.u.mstances, two people in a narrow and enclosed s.p.a.ce would be romantic, but all Katrina feels is suffocated.

Looking down, Aaron sees a tinge of red on Katrina"s face. His gaze zeroed in on her lips. Because it"s been a long time since he"s had such close contact with her, he keeps staring at her mesmerizing face.

Aaron feels his mouth go dry. As he continues looking at her face, he feels his body heat up. Standing like a wall in front of Katrina, he has a strong urge to kiss her.

Though Katrina doesn"t dare look at his face, she can still feel Aaron"s gaze on her. The pressure makes her feel very uncomfortable.

It"s easy to imagine where a single man and woman in a narrow s.p.a.ce could lead to. And now, Aaron is trapping her in place and refusing to leave. Any movement from Katrina"s end could cause their bodies to rub against each other.

The temperature in the kitchen is rising.

Katrina can"t wait to flee away. To break the awkward atmosphere, she scolds, "You"re in the way. The noodles are about to boil. Get out!"

Pus.h.i.+ng Aaron back a couple of paces, Katrina is able to get away from his overbearing presence. Feeling much more comfortable, she turns around to continue preparing the food.

Aaron snaps out of his daze, and his eyes turn back to normal.

But he still can"t help worrying. The soup is hot, and he is afraid she will burn herself again.

After Katrina puts the noodles in a bowl, she prepares to serve them outside.

All of a sudden, Aaron steps up to the table and picks up the bowl before she can. "I"ll do it!"

Katrina looks up at Aaron in confusion as he strides outside.

Soon, the two bowls of tomato and egg noodles are set on the table.

Because she was suddenly called to report to the police station earlier, Katrina wasn"t able to eat enough during her dinner with Farrah. After work, she is also hungry.

Since she already started making noodles for Aaron, she decided to include a small serving for herself as well.

The ingredients are simple, and the recipe is not complicated. Despite the fact that his meal is just a simple bowl of tomato and egg noodles, Aaron likes it so much that he finishes the entire bowl. The hot meal is pleasantly warm in his stomach, warming his heart with happiness.

Watching Katrina eating her noodles with her head down, the corners of Aaron"s lips unconsciously lift into a smile.

In terms of food, clothing, and living s.p.a.ce, Aaron is used to getting the best of everything. High-cla.s.s western food, lavish villas, and luxury cars match his status and ident.i.ty.

Although Aaron lives a wealthy lifestyle, his life is boring and monotonous. There is nothing in his life but work and social engagements. Living at the top is quite lonely.

But after meeting Katrina, Aaron suddenly realizes that staying in a small apartment and eating a simple meal together is actually nice.

Only after meeting Katrina does Aaron feel that he is finally enjoying life. It seems he only feels the warmth of a home when he is with her. No matter how small the house, no matter how simple the environment, as long as she is around, everything else doesn"t matter.

Right now, Aaron prefers to stay in Katrina"s tiny apartment than go back to his own mansion.

After dinner, Katrina washes the dishes in the kitchen.

When she comes out of the kitchen, she sees Aaron and Beta occupying her small sofa. They are content to make themselves at home, sitting in her living room, and watching TV comfortably.

Katrina has long been used to a cold and cheerless atmosphere since she started living alone. The scene takes her by surprise, leaving her momentarily speechless.

It"s already eleven o"clock in the evening, and the time for having a midnight snack is over. But Aaron doesn"t seem to have any intention of leaving.

Getting fed up, Katrina walks over and orders Aaron to leave. "Hey, I have to get up early for work tomorrow. Go home with Beta already."

Aaron looks up at Katrina with a serious look on his face and says, "I can"t go home, I forgot my house keys when I went out. We"re homeless, are you really going to kick us out?"

Katrina doesn"t believe Aaron"s feeble excuse. Besides his housekeeper Randy, he has a lot of servants in his villa who could easily open the door for him. How stupid does he think she is? He obviously just wants to spend the night at her place.

A powerful CEO like Aaron, could never be homeless. Exasperated, she snaps, "Then take Beta to a hotel tonight!"

Katrina will never let Aaron stay over. Her apartment is already small enough. More importantly, taking him in is equivalent to inviting a wolf into your home. She is not an idiot.

Spreading out his hands, Aaron has no choice but to say, "I forgot to take my card. We can"t go to a hotel."

Seeing Aaron cozying up on the sofa, Katrina pulls him by the arm. "Beta can stay, but you can"t! If you can"t book a room, then sleep in your car! This isn"t my problem!" she growls, pus.h.i.+ng Aaron out the door.

Upon hearing Katrina"s words, Aaron grits his teeth with anger. She would actually cruelly make him sleep in the car! How could she let Beta stay, but not him? Is he less of a dog to her?

Aaron is still a little reluctant to leave. After a long time, he was finally able to enter Katrina"s house and even get to eat her cooking. He doesn"t want to leave.

He tries again, "You sleep on the bed, and I"ll sleep on the floor. Don"t worry, and I absolutely won"t try anything on you later in the night."

Katrina"s eyes flash with fury at his audacity. "You can"t tell me what to do, get out!"

"If you want, I"ll sleep on the couch, and you can lock your bedroom door."

"What I want is for you to leave!" she yells.

Despite all of Aaron"s efforts, Katrina won"t let him stay. In the end, he can"t help compromising, "Promise me you"ll go to a party with me tomorrow night, and I"ll leave."
