Chapter 7: Hot for friend
8:45 am.
’’Hey, are you still sleeping?"
Maxim stirred in the bed when he heard the familiar voice. It has been six years since he graduated and they went on different paths but this woman still strolled inside his dreams like she was a model walking on a runaway.
He covered his face in the pillows, rolling to the side, ’’Get lost!" he snarled.
Diana who was standing near the staircase, stiffened when she heard the sound coming from what she guessed was the bedroom in the dark house.
Dark house because the door in front of her was slightly ajar and except for darkness, she could not see anything. Not even a single ray of sunlight.
He must be sleeping.
’’I am sorry. I should not have disturbed you,’’ she said, loud enough for him to hear so that he can rest assured and continue sleeping knowing that she left.
Maxim groggily placed his pillow aside and opened his sleepy eyes. Weird. Since when did the Diana Chen in his dreams become so obedient and submissive?
His half-lidded eyes snapped open all at once and he sat up on the bed in a flash, pushing the comforters aside in a swift movement.
He was not dreaming. Diana Chen was now his tenant. He had taken her in yesterday and they even went to the supermarket to buy formula milk for her baby!
