Chapter 139 Bad Habits
Well after midnight, James Brown returned to Gina Lopez’s home, not because he wanted to, but because Sunny Nguyen was afraid that if James stayed there, Grace Lopez would notice something was amiss. Reluctantly, Sunny had no choice but to send James away.
When James got home, he was also worried about waking Gina Lopez and Grace Lopez, so he moved very quietly. He didn’t turn on the lights and tiptoed back into Gina’s room.
Gina was sleeping soundly, covered with a blanket. James took off his clothes and carefully got into bed without waking her. He stayed at the edge, just like usual, not touching Gina. He had been satisfied over at Sunny’s place earlier, so even though he was next to the beautiful Gina, he didn’t entertain any indecent thoughts and soon fell asleep.
The next morning, James woke up to Gina’s movements, and before he even opened his eyes, he knew something was wrong.
Gina’s bed was quite large; usually, they each kept to their own side. Even in their sleep, they both seemed to remind themselves not to drift to the other side.
But since James had gone to Sunny’s place, Gina assumed she would have the bed to herself that night, so she had completely relaxed. After her bath, she just put on underwear without bothering with pajamas and went to bed.
And because she wasn’t worried about bumping into James at night, she slept very relaxedly, somehow rolling over to James’s side. She was snuggled up against him, her body pressed against his with one leg draped over his.
Sunny had drunk quite a bit last night and had been rather wild, which left James fairly exhausted. His return home was also deep and undisturbed. Normally, as a former Green Beret, he would be aware of someone coming close, but because he intended to stay over at Sunny’s, even back at Gina’s place, he didn’t have the slightest sense of danger. So when Gina hugged him, he did not wake up but instead wrapped his arms around her.
What really took James by surprise was that Gina was almost naked at that time. He could feel her smooth skin and the touch of her chest that could send any man’s soul soaring.
Now James could only pretend to be asleep, which seemed to alleviate the awkwardness for Gina. As soon as he opened his eyes, it would likely prompt a lot of follow-up reactions, and these reactions, no matter what, would be detrimental to him.
At that moment, Gina wished she could find a hole to crawl into. She had ended up sleeping in the same bed with James, naked, and in such an embarrassing embrace. For a slightly conservative woman like her, the shock was just too great.
