Next One Is a Babe

He overestimated his ability to abstain. Lola slept soundly without a care in the world, while he couldn’t even close his eyes. Logan thought the exhaustion would eventually lull him to sleep, but Lola being beside him staved off all sleepiness. A while later, Logan said, “Why don’t I sleep outside, Lola? I can’t sleep with you beside me.”

Logan wondered what was wrong with him. Back when he was dating Jasmine, she’d dropped hints about staying the night together, and he knew her goal was definitely more than that. But all he felt then was frustration, so he pretended to be oblivious to it and rejected Jasmine’s invitation. Now, however, that feeling of lust within him was torturing him, and he didn’t know what to do.

Lola was already drifting to sleep, but she slowly opened her eyes upon hearing him. She could hear the resignation in his voice, so she sat up. Logan still had that towel around him, and there were patches of water on him. Oh dear, he’s hot. Seeing this, Lola licked her lips. “The sofa isn’t that big. Why don’t you sleep on the bed? I’ll take the sofa.”

Logan quickly stopped her. “I can’t let you do that. I’m the man here, so you go back to bed. I’ll take the sofa.” Then, he took his clothes and went out of the room.

When Logan had closed the door, a smile broke out on Lola’s face. He took a cold shower at midnight? That’s some willpower. He held back just like last time. That alone made him better than most men. Lola waited until everything was quiet out there before going back to sleep.

At the same time, Logan went through what he did back then. He curled up on the tiny sofa and covered himself with a thin blanket. After staring into the darkness for a while, he smiled. Even though they didn’t have sex, Logan still felt proud. This is the difference between me and Shawn. That immoral b*stard’s no match for me.

Lola woke up early the next morning, while Logan was still asleep. Since he didn’t sleep a wink last night, he didn’t feel like waking up now. After washing herself up, Lola went to pat his head. “Sleep in, Logan. I’ll wake you up when breakfast is done.”

Logan grunted with his eyes closed, then he went back to sleep. As for Lola, she went to cook some noodles, and she even made a sunny side up as well as some sausages and greens for him. Usually, she’d have the noodles without any sides. When she came out of the kitchen, Logan had already gone to the bathroom. Setting up the table, she waited for him.
