With her eyebrows twisted,Lydia wasnt totally sober now.It took her quite a while to know it was Joshua who stood in front of her.
At the sight of him,Lydia was quite taken aback and became clear.
Her eyes met his."Its not true.Sorry,we were just joking."
Peering at her,he relapsed into silence,which made him way too unapproachable.
Her eyes flashed with the dread,and tried to avoid his eyes."Are you mad?"
He held her by the chin,turning her face."Seems someone really has the guts to make fun of me!"
A mere trace of smile seemed to touch his cold eyes.
Lydia gazed at him.His faint smile seemed to suggest he wasnt angry.
This situation kind of made her bask in happiness.She pulled her arms around his neck,and looked at him."What if it is true?"
Instead of answering this one,the mans eyes turned frigid."Again?"
His words made Lydia feel humiliated.Why did she even bother to ask him?
She buried her face in his chest."Its my friends birthday.I took a shot."
His fingers gently ran through her hair."Promise me,dont drink like today."
She was like a pet cat,with her face in his chest,and nodded."I am so tired."
Carrying her in his arms,he entered the password into the room,and closed the door with his feet.
He tucked her into bed and was about to get her a glass of water.
"Just stay with me."She begged him with arms around his neck.
Joshua laughed and pinched her face."Ill pour water for you."
But this time she was unusually willful,and shook her head,"No."Her hands accordingly pulled his body towards hers.Joshua was caught unprepared,and his jaw was hit by her head.
She didnt dare to be naughty in usual.Her bold behavior was totally enhanced by her anguish and drunkenness.
Now she hurt him,and even worried she might annoy him.
"I am sorry."She stood up,checking to see if he was fine.
"Its not a problem.Dont worry."Joshua held her hand and chuckled.
He said he was fine.His voice was filled with that typical lukewarm attitude.
"But it really hurts!"She felt guilty and burst into tears.
He wiped her tears away,and smiled,"It doesnt matter."
Lydia put his hands on her chest."But why I feel so hurt?"
Joshua fingered his lips,raised his eyebrows,and leaned towards her."Seems that someone misses me."
His lips then covered her face,her neck.
……
It was near teno clock next day when she was awake.
Sh still felt dizzy.What lingered on her mind was the picture of their having intercourse from couch to bedroom and bathroom.
So she was startled by the ring of phone,and was greeted by Monicas piercing and rude voice."Where the hell are you?Its work time."
He did this every time,not willing to ask a leave for her.He never wanted to declare their relationship.
"I will be there in a minute."She answered coolly.
"See you in half an hour!Hurry.Dont daydream!"Monica sneered.
Lydia got over her contempts and directly hung up the phone.She quickly had herself dressed up and rushed to the company.
It was already over the morning rush hour.There was no one else but Lydia waiting for the elevator.
Suddenly the elevator door opened.Her mind completely went blank as she raised her head.
It was Joshua and Jennifer.
