Alistair's Pov

I cut her off and placed my fingers on her lips "Shush", I circled my lips as I turned her down. I quickly exited the bathroom, and move towards the wardrobe to remove another towel. As soon as I succeeded in my attempt, I rushed towards the bathroom again. The water was yet flowing, and her hair locks dripped as soon as I turned the tap off. She was reluctant as soon as I caught her by her wrist, but, she was calmed down after a while.

"Arnoo----"

"It's okay", I covered her body with the towel and helped her exit the bathroom. I caught her firmly through her arms as her legs shivered while she walked. After stepping closer to the bed, I stopped her. "Dry yourself", I tightened my lips and smiled an assuring one whilst looking at her.

"Uh, I- uh", she caught me firmly and intertwined my finger with hers. "Don't go", her brows were furrowed, and her face looked innocent. Who could ever say no to such an alluring face?

I nodded, stepping closer. I opened the towel and scattered her hair with my fingers. They were wet, and also cold. The water dripped through them, which actually made her look sexier. Wet hair, naked body, and a sexy atmosphere, what else can a man think of doing? No, some men like me were different, very different. I was actually wiping off the water from her body and drying her.

My nose touched her cheek when I tried drying her hair with the towel. She didn't move away, even for once. Her curves were visible, and she didn't try to cover 'em too. It was her beauty. After finishing off with her hair, I advanced towards her face. I unfolded the towel, in an attempt to make it thin. I dabbed off the water from her cheeks, her nose, forehead, and her chin.

My nose touched hers, as she tilted her chin up to look me in my eye. I was intimately drawn towards her with the most unfamiliar bond I haven't ever experienced. Her breath fanned my face, and I could feel her, feel her light and pleasant smell. She bit her lower lip and kept silent. I didn't do the talking either. I just enjoyed the silence, for a change. I flattened the towel on her collarbones settling it on her skin, and feeling it through my hands. I wasn't doing the touching but I was yet doing the touching. How strange, different, and sexual, right?

I curled the towel around her neck, which brought her closer to mine. Her chest touched mine, but her hands were stiff and were hanging straight sticking either side of her upper thigh. My lip touched her neck, as I advanced towards her back. Her back body touched my torso. Skin against the skin and yet no sex. I motioned my hand moves from up to down, so as to cover that very area that instinct. It was one hell of a sensuous moment, which I couldn't ever deny or forget about.

On feeling her moving a bit away, I got back to my senses. I faced her that very moment and looked straight in her direction. Her face was the same, a straight one without any emotions, so I knew that it wasn't something to worry about. "Can I?" I raised my right brow and pointed towards her front portion through my eyes.

She tightened her lips and nodded agreeing. After distancing herself away from me like 3 inches away, she allowed me to do the rest of the act I started. Maybe I could make it my profession? Yes, after being kicked out of my house. Every time a pleasant thought crossed my mind, a negative one would overtake it ruining the content received from the former one.

I moved my hands, covered with the soft towel towards her chest. At first, I was hesitant, but when I realized that she was comfortable about it, I quickly advanced towards her boobs. I squeezed them slowly dabbing all the droplets of water. I didn't really keep on doing it but advanced towards her stomach at once. I caught her by the waist and examined her face, she looked everywhere but me.

Maybe I was going way too fast and maybe I should slow down, though she was the one who actually gave me hints. It wasn't really difficult for me earlier to get involved with her sexually, to kiss her, to feel her body, but as and when I started to know her, things got difficult, really difficult. I couldn't really enjoy intimacy with her, even though at times she allowed me to. I was caught in a cyclone full of lies, and I was certainly feeling guilty about it. She was beginning to trust me, to rely on me and the only thing which I kept constant in our conversation was my lies. I knew that someday I was going to be exposed, and she was probably going to hate me. But, I intended to keep the lie going, at least a little longer.

After sorting things out and realizing the connection between her mother and my father, I intended to tell her the truth all by myself. "You dried me"

"I know. Mission accomplished", I winked and grinned.

"What I meant to say was.... You're wet yourself-"

"So you want to reciprocate the moment? You want to help me dry?" I smirked looking at her teasingly.

"No, what I actually meant to say was. You're really good at it. I mean you have the skills, so maybe, you should help yourself too", she half-smiled looking at my confused face. I smiled back dissolving the confusion from my face. She went closer to the wardrobe and removed another bathrobe. I eyed her from behind and turned my head away as soon as she noticed that I was checking her out.

I let her face my back and removed my pants off as they were yet wet. I comforted my back on the bed and covered my body with the bed-sheet as it was very cold plus I didn't have anything suitable to wear as we didn't plan to spend the night here in the first place. After a while, I felt a touch on my skin. I knew that she was Evelyn. She slept next to me and covered herself with the same blanket.

I didn't react to it. I just kept my eyes closed, and created an impression in front of her that I was deep asleep. The only reason behind it was that I didn't intend to alarm her, and neither did I want her to sleep on the couch, or the floor. I was pretty comfortable with her by my side, and I wanted and craved for it for the long run. She was an asset to me, an asset that was extremely valuable, and an asset that I never wanted to lose.

As soon as the sunlight hit my eyes, I massaged my eyes with my knuckles and tried to open them wide. Evelyn was deep asleep so I decided to not wake her up. I, without making any noise, walked on my tiptoes to the bathroom. As soon as I turned the knob, and entered, memories of last night ran across my mind. I smiled thinking about it. After having a quick bath, I twirled the towel across my abdomen.

I quickly called the room service and asked for a customer care male representative. Roaming around naked would've been embarrassing in front of a female one, so asking for some male person was appropriate. As soon as the person entered the room, with prior permission, I ordered him to get me anything suitable to wear. "If the hotel doesn't have any clothing shop, then lend me some of yours, please. It was an all of a sudden kind of decision, so I couldn't really pack", I searched for my wallet on the table, removed some dollars from it, and handed it to him without actually counting it.

"It's not my job but", he looked towards the money "But, I'll be pleased to help. This hotel doesn't have any shop which consists of clothing apparel so I'll probably lend you a pair of my dress. A fresh one of course", he nodded giving me a small smile.

"And, yeah, please get a dress for the lady too", the man looked around in the room, and at last found a lady aka Evelyn sleeping carelessly on the bed. Oh no, no, no. I sprinted towards the bed and covered her body with the blanket. Yeah, her sleeping position was kind of open and inappropriate, but, who even sleeps in a sane position.

He, when noticed that I wasn't very comfortable about the fact of him checking out my girl, turned his head in my direction again. "I'll be back soon, sir", he marched towards the door. As soon as he exited, Evelyn uplifted herself, and sat stiffly on the bed, like she'd been waiting for him to leave.

She looked at me straight in my eyes and surfaced the blanket till her chin. No, it didn't indicate her shyness, but, it kind of gave a feel that she was feeling cold. "I'll turn off the air conditioner", I searched for the remote.

"No, it's okay. I'm really fine. Thanks"

"Okay", I sauntered in her direction "Actually...umm." I searched for words to frame in a suitable sentence "I, um, want to tell you something", I finally disposed of the words from my mouth.

"Something...? You can tell me anything", she half-smiled.

"I know", I chuckled. I sat right next to her. "It's just that, I found out that Mr. Alistair Dickman is staying here in the same hotel, and maybe so is your mom. I saw them together yesterday night, but after a while, they kind of separated. I don't think they've spent the night together, in the same room", she nodded and listened to me carefully. She didn't even blink for a second. This subject always had a great impact on her, it awakened the Nancy drew within her.

"I was going to talk about it with you yesterday night, but you know, you weren't in a position, so I decided to talk about it the following morning, which is today", Okay, I did lie about the latter part.

"It's okay Arnold. You don't have to give any clarification. Like I said earlier, and like I always say, I trust you, okay?" she rhetorically questioned, to which I simply nodded.

"And---" I was about to convey the rest of the plan to her, but, I was interrupted by a sudden knock by the room service. "Yeah...?" I peeped through the door, and then opened it when I realized that it was the same man who left minutes ago.

He quickly came in, with two hangers in his hand. One had a dress of a lady, and the other had a denim jacket, which was paired with a white t-shirt. I couldn't see jeans anywhere, so I looked inside the carry bag he was carrying, and to my content found the jeans neatly folded inside.

"Woah! That was quick", I appreciated.

"Yeah, the sum of money was kind of huge too", he winked and passed the hanger in my direction. I quickly took charge of it and placed it on the bed.

"Thanks again, brother", I side-hugged him and waved him goodbye. He patted my shoulder and left the room. Evelyn quickly took charge of the outfit and draped the skater dress around her body. It was a navy blue skater dress, with full sleeves. There was some sort of cutwork close to the stomach, which exposed her skin. For a moment, I couldn't take my eyes off her, but somehow I managed.

She went closer to the mirror and opened her hair. She combed her hair with her fingers, solving the knots. She did a quick hair flip, went through her purse, removed a lip gloss, and colored her lips with it. She looked exquisite. I mentally slapped myself for going off-topic and then hurriedly wore the outfit.

At first, I was shy to wear the jeans in front of her, but then when I realized that she wasn't paying any attention to me, I quickly sat on the bed and pulled the jeans tightly. It was a narrow bottom fit and was kind of smaller than my actual size. It took me a while, and all of my strength to pull the jeans. When Evelyn looked at me, I fake smiled and continued in my attempt.

I knew that she was secretly laughing at me, just not on my face. After I successfully pulled the whole of my jeans, I stretched the buckle inhaling deep so that I didn't have to struggle more in order to latch the jeans. My stomach was flattened by my deep inhales, and I succeeded in my attempt to buckle the jeans. This was a little less embarrassing as compared earlier. "It's okay Arnold. You can hit the gym later on", she tightened her lips, like she was controlling her laugh.

"Seriously, Evelyn...? You want to see my six-pack abs?" I cornered my eyes and frowned. She surrendered her hand behind her head and apologized "Fine. I take my words back. I'm so sorry"

"Oh. No. Don't be. It's okay. Friends can make fun of each other, ight?" I consoled her as she was taken aback by my frown. Friendship was completely new territory for her, and she was discovering it step by step, with me, which was the best part of it.

"So, the plan is....." I wore the denim jacket on top of the white t-shirt and spiked my hair. "You..."
