Chapter 188: The Cuddler
Emily had often heard countless stories of people describing the best weekends of their lives. And what all of those stories often had in common was that the people talked about wild, and outlandish things that they did.
Things that did not fit with their usual character at all. Things that could ruin their reputation should they ever be broadcast for the rest of the world to know about. Those were the things that people referred to, when they said that they had the best weekend ever.
But Emily, in her current state, begged to differ. She was having the best weekend ever, and it did not include a single scandalous thing. In fact, all that it included was one thing, and one thing only... SLEEP!
How did people survive nightly exposure to such a potent drug, and still be able to function during the day? That to Emily deserved to be up there as one of the unsolved mysteries of the world.
ILn the last few days Emily had been having sleep, and not just the stolen things that she managed to sneak away in between her nightmares. But real sleep, the kind that knocked her out till morning. And when she finally did come awake. It was to the feeling of her entire body just singing with how restful it was.
How did people develop an immunity to that? If somebody could answer that for her. Emily would find a way to give them a million in cash. Because if they could find a reason for that, then they were true genius. Because Emily herself could no think of a single solution to that.
There was just no way.
How could people ever get used to the feeling of sleep, to the point of taking it for granted? She had no idea, and she never wanted to find out if she was being honest. Because Emily was currently having the laziest weekend of her life and she was loving it.
It was amazing. It was almost as though she and Derek had been cursed to never leave the bed.
When they had gotten up in the morning, it had been to relieve themselves, brush their teeth, and then go downstairs to have some breakfast. After that breakfast, when Derek had led her upstairs, it had been all that Emily could do to keep from pulling her hand out of his.
