The Woman From Hell

The night was late. I was leaning against the bed and was almost falling asleep, yet Theo had not come in.

How long will Townsend pester him?

I yawned and was dozing off when the sound of the door opening came. I turned around, and it was indeed Theo who had entered. He looked at me with a leisurely smile. "Not asleep yet?" "Why are you so late?" I yawned as I spoke. Sniffling, my eyes went moist.

Theo got onto the bed and covered me with the blanket. "You're obviously sleepy, yet you wait for me, little fool." He planted a light kiss on the top of my head.

I straightened my back and asked him, "Why were you so late?"

"It's been a long time since I saw Townsend. We chatted for a while."

"I wonder what two grown men have to talk about." I pursed my lips, feeling a little sour.

Theo looked at me with a smile. When he saw my expression, his smile widened. "What? Are you feeling jealous of a guy?"

I pushed him away and lay down. "As if."

"You say that, but your tone begs to differ."

I covered my head with the blanket. "I'm not."
