The warmth in her palm surprised her slightly, and she turned her head in alarm when a thought struck her. She was met by the sight of a man fast asleep.
The familiar-looking face was several times larger than what she usually saw. The man had such good skin that even a woman would be jealous of him, and there were shadows beneath his eyes, framed by a set of long eyelashes.
Noelle was stunned as she recalled what had happened in the washroom. She remembered getting knocked out by a man but did not know what had happened after that. Her lips felt slightly numb, and she realized they were swollen after bringing her fingers to them.
Noelle beceven more panicked and hurriedly threw the covers off herself as she tried to get out of bed. However, a pair of large hands reached out to grab her wrists. Noelle turned around and realized that Charles had opened his eyes. He had just woken up, and the usual sharp glint in his eyes was nowhere to be found. His sleepy gaze landed on her, and it took a minute before he frowned slightly and sat up. "You're awake." His voice was slightly hoarser because he had just woken up. It sounded just as deep and melodious as a cello's tone. Noelle felt her heart skip a beat before it began thumping wildly. She pursed her lips and looked down, somewhat afraid to meet Charles' eyes.
Charles narrowed his eyes as he took in all of Noelle's movements. He chuckled as he asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?" Noelle bit down on her lips, the sparkle in her eyes dimming slightly as she began, "You... I... Last night..." "Nothing happened to you last night," Charles said as he chuckled, lightly squeezing Noelle's slender arm. "Nothing at all!" "Really?" Noelle asked as she raised her head, the sparkle returning to her eyes. She had a look of surprise and relief as she took Charles' hand in hers. "You aren't lying to me, are you?" "Why would I lie to you?" Charles asked as he gave a slight smile. He lifted the covers off himself and got out of bed, keeping his hold on Noelle's hand all the while.
Since Charles was holding onto her, Noelle had no other choice but to get out of bed as well. Charles handed Noelle a pair of slippers. "The floor is cold!" A warm, fuzzy feeling washed over Noelle as she looked down and slipped her feet inside the slippers Then, after a moment's thought, she asked, "I fought with Winter velyesterday and got drugged almost immediately after. What on earth happened?" She had experienced a lot of fear and had no idea what to do. Her last thought before losing consciousness was, 'Oh no, I'm done for.' Yet, Charles was now telling that nothing had happened last night.
