Chapter 52: A Mix of Daddy Vibes/Mafiaboyfriend Energy.

She froze. Angela wished she could wake up from this damn dream, but nothing happened. Her heart was racing, her body tense. What was the way out? There didn’t seem to be any. She looked down at her chest, and her breath caught. Her nipples were stiff and pressing against the fabric. She had forgotten to wear her wrap under her shirt before going to bed, thinking it didn’t matter since she was only sleeping on the couch.

She never imagined she would land in a dream with Renn, of all people. And now, he had seen it. Everything. Just like with Stales and Alex, the truth had come out without warning. She couldn’t hide it anymore.

"Renn..." she whispered, her voice low and shaky.

But she didn’t get to finish.

Her eyes snapped open and she found herself back in her bed. Her head ached the moment she sat up. And that was when she saw them. Two silver eyes staring right at her. Cold shivers spread down her spine as she jumped up in surprise, her arms instantly moving to cover her chest, but then she realized there was a blanket already over her.

It was Kaito.

He had covered her with a blanket. Why? The same Kaito who threw her on the couch without one now decided to be thoughtful? Not only that, he was sitting there, watching her sleep?

"What the hell is wrong with you?" he asked sharply, his tone tight. "Why were you calling Renn in your dream?"

Angela’s eyes widened. She didn’t know what to say. His arms were folded over his chest, making them look even broader. They reminded her of Renn for a moment, and her stomach twisted at the memory of Renn trying to kiss her. Her chest still felt strange, like it remembered his touch even though it was just a dream.

"Did you dream of Renn?" Kaito asked again, pulling her out of her thoughts. He stared at her, deep and focused, like he was searching her soul, but she knew better. This was how he always looked when he paid attention to someone. It wasn’t real.

"I dreamt of him?" Angela repeated, trying to act clueless. She clutched the blanket tighter over her chest, panicking inside. She didn’t want him to notice the shape of her breasts like Renn had. If she could go back in time, she would have worn her wrap without a second thought.

"Yes," Kaito said firmly. "You called his name. I heard you. What was the dream about?"

"I don’t remember," Angela lied, not daring to meet his eyes. If she did, the truth would spill right out. She wasn’t ready to tell him that in her dream, Renn had almost kissed her, and worse, that a part of her had wanted it.

"It must have been from the Initiation night," she added quickly. "I’ve been having nightmares since then."

Kaito didn’t say anything right away. He just kept looking at her, but the tension in the air was heavy. Then finally, his voice softened just a little.

"If you feel so scared, then come to the bed and lie down," he said gently. Angela stared at him in shock. He was offering her his bed? The same Kaito who once kicked her out without care was now telling her to come lie beside him?
