No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 247



"Goodnight, my dear girlfriend!"

It was half an hour later when I got a message from Ernest.

I had no idea what I'd been doing for that half hour. Was I taking a cold shower like they do in the novels?

Thinking back to that abrupt stop earlier, I was too embarrassed to reply to him.

I didn't sleep well that night, probably because I didn't take that cold shower. It felt like something was crawling under my skin.

The door to desire, an insatiable chasm, I'd learned that lesson firsthand.

Restless and uneasy, I woke up early.

But no matter how early I was, Ernest was already out for his morning run.

The man's energy and stamina were truly admirable.

And in that department, I bet he was just as vigorous!

I felt like I was under a spell, my thoughts constantly drifting to...that.

Without caring what time it was, I texted her: "Hungry? Get up and join me for breakfast."
