Chapter 701: A Second Date
Dora woke up with a jolt, her heart racing as the persistent pounding on the door echoed through her room. She blinked rapidly, trying to clear the haze of sleep from her eyes. The clock on her nightstand showed it was only seven, and she groaned in frustration. Who could possibly be disturbing her at such an ungodly time?
Grabbing the pillow beside her, she covered her ears and tried to return to sleep. Whoever it was could go back and return later. They could knock until their knuckles bled and she was not leaving the bed. As expected, the pounding on the door finally stopped and she smiled. See. Let them think she’d gone out of the room while she slept peacefully. However, that feeling was short lived when her phone started to ring, the next minute.
She didn’t make a move to answer it as she frowned. How could her phone be ringing? She had a habit of turning it off when... She slapped a hand to her head. Dar*! She’d taken it off the airplane mode when she’d wanted to check his reply... a reply which had ever come...
As the phone’s ringing persisted, Dora sighed in resignation. She rolled over, trying to hide her face beneath the pillow. If she could just turn the phone off, maybe she could go back to sleep. But of course, the phone’s relentless ringing showed no signs of stopping. With a weary groan, Dora blindly slid her thumb over the screen, answering the call more out of obligation than willingness.
"Hello..." she mumbled into the phone, her voice thick from sleep.
The voice on the other end was smooth and warm, cutting through her grogginess. There was a faint sigh before the person spoke. "I knew it. You have a sexy voice when you wake up. So husky. Sigh. I wish I could hear it in my ear directly instead of through the phone."
Dora’s eyes shot open, her sleepiness momentarily forgotten. She pulled the phone away from her ear, squinting at the screen. Dam*! How could he flirt so early in the morning? Clearing her throat, she asked," Prince Kael. Why are you up and chirpy so early in the morning?"
"Is it early? The sun has been up for hours."
"I don’t care about the sun." Dora murmured, as she finally gave up on getting more sleep and lay in her bed, staring up at the ceiling."Why are you calling me?"
"For our second date." Kael answered and Dora sighed incredulously," You called me so early in the morning to ask me out on a second date?"
"Nope."
Isidora frowned and took the phone off her ear to stare at it in confusion for a few moments. "You are not asking me out for a second date?"
