A Love Trap

'How could you be so beautiful?'

It had been a few minutes since she woke up and saw Andrew next to him, but she still was in awe of his god-given looks.

Ashley was in still in the middle of admiring Andrew's looks when she saw his finger move.

Slowly, Andrew opened his eyes. Rattled, Ashley decided to pretend she was still sleeping.

Despite her efforts, Andrew quickly uncovered what she was trying to do and let out a soft chuckle. He then proceeded to turn over and took Ashley in his arms.

Thinking Andrew was still asleep, Ashley opened her eyes. It was then she realized how close they were to each other.

She felt her cheeks turn red.

'This kind of intimacy is something that could only be done on purpose!' she said to herself, checking if Andrew was really still asleep. Seeing that the guy was truly asleep, she concluded that it wasn't a deliberate act.

'Well, it's a good thing he was able to avoid my hand, ' she thought. Slowly and silently, Ashley lifted Andrew's arm that was wrapped around her body so that she could sit up.

She didn't wake the sleeping angel. When she was about to get out of bed, Andrew's leg suddenly moved and landed on hers.

With the gentlest nudges, Ashley tried to free herself but she was unsuccessful.

'Is this man asleep or not!' she thought to herself.

As much as it was annoying her, she didn't want to know the answer to that because the only thing she wanted to do was to get up and leave the bedroom. Bending over, she dragged his leg and moved it to the other side, and then she got off the bed as quickly as she could.

As soon as she was able to stand up from the bed, she went over to the window and opened the curtain slightly. She lifted her injured hand and observed it. The swelling was almost gone, and it wasn't hurting as much as it did yesterday.

"Oh wow, the medicine definitely worked," she murmured, "No wonder so many people want to be rich. The benefits are wonderful." When such things happened to her, it would take three days before the injury got better.
