Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

complained, tugging lightly at her lower eyelids as she scrutinized her reflection.

After Molly finished her nightly routine, she perched on the edge of her bed, camera in hand, turning on the light to inspect her face in the screen. "Chad, this is all your fault. I haven't been getting any rest these past few days, and now I've got bags under my eyes." She Chad, who was at the foot of the bed stripping off his shirt, ready to climb into bed himself, replied, "I've been pulling all-nighters without getting any bags. How come you've got them after just two days?"

Molly set her phone aside, casting a glance at Chad, who was now bare-chested. "That's because your skin's too thick for bags to show up," she retorted.

Chad just laughed, proceeding to unbuckle his belt, about to slide off his jeans.

Molly immediately pointed at him, "Don't you dare strip! Sleep with your clothes on."

Chad froze, mistaking Molly's insistence as a bout of shyness at their shared vulnerability.

Jade revealed her reasoning. "In case we've got any centipedes or snakes showing up tonight, you'll be able to run faster if you're wearing pants while holding me."

Chad chuckled, "No running tonight. If they come, I'll catch them for you."

The thought of Chad catching bugs sent shivers down Molly's spine.

Since they didn't have any change of clothes at their old family home, Molly ended up sleeping in her hoodie and jeans, which was far from comfortable. Chad's hand rested on Molly's waist, "It's more comfortable to sleep without clothes."

Molly shook her head, "I need to be ready to run."

Chad reassured her, "What's there to fear when I'm here?"

Eventually, Molly gave in. Sleeping fully clothed was too hot, but the thought of bugs crawling on her if she didn't cover up was even more unsettling.
