Stuck in you

Jack and Rachel were in the same bed. Although it was not their first time to sleep together, he felt more uncomfortable.

He was scared that he would dream of Rachel again and wake up in the middle of the night. Since her smell was all over the room, he might not be able to resist the desire of his body later on.

Just like what Rachel had said to Lea before, she felt she fell into a trap. She and Jack had to live together, have meals at the same table, and sleep in the same bed.

Both of them lay in the bed stiffly. They felt surreal. Jack's mind was in a total mess. Every time he turned his head, all he could smell was Rachel's scent.

Eventually, he couldn't take it anymore so he turned to face her.

"What's that smell of yours?" he asked. Rachel was surprised to hear his question. She unconsciously lifted her hand and smelled her wrist. "What smell? I don't smell anything," she answered.

'Of course you can't smell your own self,' Jack thought inwardly.

"What body wash are you using?" he asked again.

Rachel told him the brand, which was nothing special. Jack closed his eyes but he still couldn't sleep. Some obscene images occupied his mind and made him feel restless. He kept on tossing and turning in the bed.

He thought Rachel might kill him with her scalpel if he wanted to have sex with her.

'No! My father will definitely kill me before I can do that,' he thought to himself.

Rachel felt disturbed by Jack's restlessness and she was starting to get pissed. "Jack, can you just stay still?" she reprimanded.

Jack actually didn't want to keep moving either. If only Rachel knew how much he was trying to fall asleep. He lay on his back with hands behind his head. Despite the darkness, he stared blankly on the ceiling.

"Rachel, I can't sleep," he suddenly said.

Her long lashes fluttered and she slowly opened her eyes. She turned to look at him and asked, "Are you having insomnia recently?"

"Yes. Recently, I'm having difficulty sleeping. Do you know any remedy for this?" Jacked asked with a wooden face.

She was an experienced surgeon especially in emergency surgery and cardiology, but she was a bit dumbfounded by Jack's question. Suddenly, an idea crossed her mind. "Why don't you go for a run?"

Jack sneered upon hearing her suggestion. He then said, "I'd rather talk with you."

Rachel was stunned. She asked seriously, "Are you out of your mind?"

Veins throbbed on Jack's forehead. Although he knew that Rachel wouldn't be able to see him in the darkness, he couldn't help giving her a cold glance.

If Michael knew about this, he would definitely become a laughingstock again. His lips slowly curved into a self-mocking smile.
