Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Molly had no clue when she'd dozed off during the movie, but Chad did. When the horror scenes got too intense, she'd squint her eyes shut, only to get bored when the suspense faded. After a series of yawns, she eventually drifted off, snuggled against Chad's chest.

Chad wasn't really watching the movie; his attention was all on her.

With a gentle sigh, he cleaned up the remnants of their movie night and carefully tucked her into bed.

As Molly settled in, she instinctively rolled over, finding a cozy spot to continue her sleep.

Chad took a quick trip to the bathroom and returned with a washcloth to clean her hands, sticky from peeling lychees earlier.

When it was time for Chad to turn in, he stripped down to his cotton boxers, his muscular torso on display as he leaned in to check on Molly.

Restless, Chad tossed and turned until he finally slid closer, lifting the blanket to touch Molly's red sash - the once perfect bow now untied.

With a mischievous grin, he finally drifted off to sleep, content.

Whether it was the comfort of the new bed or just getting used to the new environment, Molly overslept. By the time she woke up, Mia had already finished a class.

And then...

"Where are my clothes?! Chad, where are yours?!" Molly exclaimed, quickly covering herself with the vibrant red quilt.

Chad, completely unfazed, stood up. "I changed mine. Check the floor for yours."

Sure enough, there was her red gown on the floor.
