Love My Friends with Benefits

I could hear my voice trembling.

Was there someone else other than me in here?!

With a click, the lights were turned on.

The whole room suddenly lit up, almost blinding me. I held up a hand to cover my eyes and saw a tall figure through the slits between my fingers.

It was Leonard.

My heart suddenly sank.

Leonard walked over to me, still dressed in his wedding tuxedo. A handkerchief was neatly tucked into his chest pocket.

He walked over and appraised me.

I felt like I had been stripped naked. I backed away on the bed.

Leonard stopped by the bedside and asked coldly, "Why'd you stop laughing?" He paused, his voice turning even frostier. "You're scared."

It was an affirmative sentence, not a question.

I gulped and tried my best to look as threatening as I could. "Of course. How could I not be, with you suddenly coming over here for no reason, Mr. Nell? In fact..." I dragged my sentence out. "I've never given you the key to my home, have I? How'd you get in here?"

Leonard didn't speak. He merely looked at me pointedly with his arms crossed over his chest.

His gaze seemed to pierce straight into my heart through my eyes.

I was flustered by his gaze, but I refused to give in to him. "Mr. Nell, please leave now!"

"Leave?"

He laughed in an ambiguous manner, and it made a chill run down my spine.

I reached for my phone and pretended to make a call. "If you don't, I'm going to call the police!"

Leonard nodded leisurely. "Go ahead, then."

I was stunned as I held my phone.

"When they come, I can just tell them that we're having a lovers' quarrel." Leonard bent down and placed his arms on both sides of my body while looking into my eyes. "Think about it, Queena... Is there a single inch of your body that I don't know?"
