The moonlight slithered to make his jawline even more beautiful. He lifted his right hand and put it on my cheek. I closed my eyes, melting into his touch, yet again. His thumb gently caressed my lower lip until I could feel his sweet breath on my lips. I couldn't quite comprehend what was happening, but I wasn't against it either.

His lips barely brushed mine before I heard someone coming. I opened my eyes and looked to the side to see the one and only, Dante. Man, I liked you, you know?

"Oops. Did I interrupt something?" He looked between the two of us, crossed his arms and smirked. I rolled my eyes and said, "Let's just go home." I rushed out, but Dante caught up and said, "I just cockblocked you two, didn't I?" I shook my head. "I knew there was something going on between you guys. Problem is, you both won't admit it." He continued.

The ride home was the same; stolen glances here and there. Constant thinking of our almost kiss. I didn't understand why Tristan was acting all flirty and nice around me, when he already has a fiancée. I mean if they didn't love each other, why be in a relationship. I know that at that moment, I was paralyzed-mentally and physically- but now I realize that it was wrong. I'm only here for a deal and nothing more. There shouldn't be anything more.

It didn't take me more than a second to take off the stilettos once I stepped foot into my room. I took-off my makeup and changed to a white shorts and a crop top. I tied my hair into a bun, and welcomed my cozy bed with literal open arms.

Dodododo-uh. There you are!

I woke up, in the middle of the night, on a strong craving for Froot Loops. Finally, I found them. I took out a bowl and of course poured the milk after the cereal. No offense to milk-first folks, just avoiding psycho stuff.

I ate the cereal while standing, and then washed everything. I thought I'd take a walk through the mansion since I can't sleep. I took some turns after sitting in front of the pool for a couple of minutes.

Then, I saw the reflection of lights, and when I continued walking, I found a porch. There was a wooden couch with different pillows scattered all over it. On the side, there was a cozy-looking swing with even more pillows and a grey fuzzy blanket. I took a seat on the couch and admired the view. It was about the time of sun-rise and the sky was astronomically-clear.

After two minutes or so, Tristan stepped inside the porch, shirtless, may I add. "Why are you up this early?" He said, flashing a bright smile to me. "I was craving Froot Loops. Why are you up so early?" He took a seat beside me.

"I heard you coming down, and when you took so long I got worried." I couldn't keep my eyes off of his clean torso or his defined abs. "Um... I was being that loud, didn't I." I nervously laughed, forcing my eyes on his face, and not his godly build. "Actually no, you were being quite precise with your moves. I just...have trouble sleeping." I looked at him, examining his face. He didn't look like he had any sleep. Explains the eye bags.
