Chapter 66: I’m In Trouble
Raine sighed as she observed Tyrone’s eyes slowly open after a few seconds of waiting.
"Are you alright?" she asked, looking straight into his eyes.
"Yeah, I’m feeling a bit weird but I’m fine," Tyrone groaned with a frown. "What happened?"
"Oh, I heard a loud thud earlier," Raine recounted. "I think you slipped on my bathroom floor and lost consciousness for a while. You look fine, at least. Still, let’s check if you hit your head or not. What’s the last thing you remember?"
Keenly staring into Tyrone’s eyes, Raine carefully chose her words as she observed Tyrone’s expression. She used the Glawackus powder to erase the man’s memory of their prior intimacy just moments ago. A long pause lingered between the two as they stared into each other’s eyes. Raine couldn’t read Tyrone’s blank expression as she narrowed her eyes in wait for his response.
It was an impulsive action from her side but she thought it was necessary. She had never thought or even considered having some kind of deep relationship with anyone at all. She was someone who simply didn’t have the luxury of getting close to any man, romantically speaking. Even so, she was honestly surprised at how fond she had become of Tyrone. She felt confused with the flurry of emotions now roiling inside her chest for the man. And yet, she ought to focus on one thing; to guard herself against any unwanted feelings such as love.
Erasing his memory was a precaution, especially since she couldn’t risk even the slightest possibility of Tyrone asking for far more than she was ever willing, assuming that she was capable of giving such a thing in the first place. Physical intimacy often tended to develop into something far greater than mere physical attraction. Well, there could be a chance. She would rather not take that risk.
After a few seconds, the silence was finally broken. Tyrone squinted his eyes at her and asked, "How about you? Are you alright? Aren’t you hurt from the incident? I entered your room as soon as I saw the police and medical officers leave."
"No, I’m not hurt," Raine smiled. "Come and get up now."
