Chapter 582 I AM NOT A PREDATOR!
After they finished eating, Apple was about to wash their plates, because this had become a habit of hers. And also since she didn’t want to leave two dirty plates and a pot there. Washing these things wasn’t a big deal anyway, but Jayden took the plates first and walked toward the kitchen sink.”You have cooked, let me do the dishes,” Jayden said in a low voice as he started to wash their plates.
”Wow, I didn’t know the heir to the Tordoff family was so reliable,” Apple teased as she followed Jayden and stood by his side.
”Are you impressed with me now?” Jayden asked, and winked at Apple which made her laugh.
”A little.” Apple brought her index finger and thumb together until they were almost touching each other, indicating how little impressed she was with him.
”You are really bad at judging,” Jayden protested.
However, Apple did not really care about this and continued to pay attention to what the man was doing right now, as he washed all the dirty plates and the pot.
After they finished with their supper and were about to return to their room, Apple suddenly stopped right in front of their bedroom door and turned around, making Jayden frown, wondering what had gone wrong again.
”We are going to sleep in the same room?” Apple frowned.
”Yes, of course, we did it yesterday.” Jayden smiled a little when he saw the look on Apple’s face when he brought up last night’s events and of course he knew what was going through Apple’s mind right now. “Hey, I am not a monster, we are not going to do anything, you and I are injured and neither of us are under the influence of alcohol. As long as you don’t tease me, I think we will both be fine and can spend the night in peace.”
”What do you mean by me teasing you?” Apple narrowed her eyes at Jayden. She could feel blood rushing to her face now at what Jayden had just said, not to mention the fact that there were several bodyguards there listening to their conversation.
Even if they didn’t show any reaction and didn’t say a word, Apple knew they were listening.
Based on her own experience, Apple knew that this would be the subject of gossip for them later when they were on a break. After all, Apple had been a bodyguard for Jayden Tordoff before.
”Have you forgotten? If I…” Jayden didn’t have time to finish his sentence when Apple covered his mouth and dragged him into the room.
Quickly, Apple closed the door behind her and locked it.
At first, Apple wanted to ask Jayden to find another room, or Apple would be happy to move to another room if Jayden objected, because after all, this room was a VVIP suite, so it would only be fair if Apple was the one who left.
It just didn’t look like that was going to happen.
”You don’t have to be so aggressive with me,” Jayden protested, but his eyes showed that he didn’t mind at all when Apple was being aggressive with him. He even tended to like this… “And you don’t have to lock the door, I will guarantee you I am not going anywhere.”
Apple rolled her eyes dramatically as she walked toward the bed. “Don’t talk with underlying meanings.”
”I didn’t do that…” Jayden raised his hands in a surrendering gesture, but then he walked over to Apple. “What are you doing?”
Jayden looked at Apple piling the pillows she could find in the middle of the bed and immediately understood what she meant.
”I am not sure those pillows can stop you,” Jayden said, folding his arms across his chest as he smiled sweetly at Apple. “I can vouch for that.”
Jayden again reminded Apple that she was the one who had teased him, which ended up in both of them having an intimate moment last night.
”Stop saying weird things,” Apple grumbled, casting a fierce glare at Jayden and continuing what she was doing.
”I didn’t say anything weird,” protested Jayden who walked to his bedside and took extra pillows from the cupboard, then helped Apple to build her ‘defense’.
Not only that, Jayden took this matter even further, just to annoy this girl, as he took out his cell phone and asked Adrian for extra pillows, which confused Apple.
”What are you doing?” Apple asked when Jayden had just hung up the phone call. “What are so many pillows and blankets for?”
”I am helping you to build this ‘fortress’, after all I have to protect myself, right?” Jayden answered innocently, he even looked serious when he said that. “No one can guarantee that I won’t be attacked tonight.”
”JAYDEN!” Apple’s face turned red when she heard this and this made Jayden laugh out loud. “You say it like I am a predator!”
”No, I didn’t say that, but you really forced me to do that.” Jayden had a hurt expression on his face, but the look in his eyes betrayed his spectacular acting.
This irritated Apple, as she threw a pillow at him. “I am not like that, it’s because I was drunk!”
”Drunk people usually show their true nature,” Jayden retorted. “I suspect that you actually harbor such feelings for me.”
”JAYDEN!” Apple’s face turned even redder when she heard this and this made Jayden laugh even more.
========================
The sun still hadn’t risen at the horizon, but Jayden had woken up and when he turned to his left, he found Apple curled up at his side. This girl didn’t seem to be aware that she had broken down her self- made ‘wall of defense’ and approached Jayden.
Smiling slightly, Jayden pulled Apple closer to him and hugged her tightly, while the girl snuggled closer to him without even noticing.
”I told you, didn’t I? You are going to try to get close to me,” Jayden muttered as he kissed the top of Apple’s head and fell back asleep again. He felt very comfortable with Apple in his arms.
