The Law of Attraction
chapter-589

At Midnight...

After the vigorous exercise, Sarah and Kyle fell asleep in each other's arms, and after sleeping for a few hours, Sarah woke up. She turned around and saw that Kyle was in deep sleep so she sneakily got out of bed.

She picked up her clothes that were scattered on the floor and put them back on. She then called for a driver to pick her up and left his home when the driver arrived.

She submerged herself in a warm bath of her bathtub as soon as she settled back in her apartment to refresh and relax her body that was aching due to the previous night's exercise.

She shyly covered her face with her palms, still unable to believe that she had lost her v.i.r.g.i.nity. She did not give an answer to Kyle regarding his sudden proposal because she felt like everything happened too soon. She didn't know how she would face him at work on Monday.

But then she knew she wanted to accept it… his offer to be her man. She wanted to take the risk and build a relationship with him because she knew in her heart that she was already in love with Kyle.

"Then why run like this?" she voiced out to herself. She did not know what came over her making her run away. Maybe because she needed some space to think and accept everything? Or she was simply not ready to face Kyle and waking up n.a.k.e.d in his arms as soon as the sun rises?

She paused her thoughts and then stood up to clean herself dry. She only realized she had marks on different parts of her body when she stood in front of the mirror. Her face reddened and wondered how she would hide the ones on her neck when going out. After wearing a comfortable nightgown she soon lay down on her bed with her phone in her hand.

"I should text him…" she whispered.

She was about to type a message when her phone suddenly rang, making her hold her breath for a while.

It was Kyle.

"Hello," she answered as soon as she cleared her throat.

"Where are you? I woke up and saw that you were gone?" Kyle asked worriedly.

"Oh sorry, I left. You were sleeping so well when I woke up that I did not want to disturb you. I'm fine and got back to my apartment Kyle…" she answered while biting her nails. She does that whenever she is nervous and does not know what to do.

"Go back to sleep Kyle. I'm about to sleep as well. We are both tired so let's rest for a while," Sarah said before she ended the call.

It was 3:30 AM and it was true that she felt tired and sleepy. Thankfully tomorrow was a Sunday so it was okay to wake up late. Her phone beeped and she found it was a message from Kyle.

[Alright rest well Sarah. Let's talk later…]

"Talk? Is he coming later?" she mumbled while her heart started thumping loud once more. She inhaled and exhaled repeatedly to calm her heart which was in chaos. After some time of thinking, she finally dozed off to sleep.

Kyle, who woke up to an empty bed, searched all the corners of his apartment to look for Sarah. When he couldn't find her anywhere he gave her a call. He helplessly walked back to his room after making sure that Sarah was alright on the phone.

He sat on the edge of his bed with dropped shoulders and whispered, "I think I scared her. Maybe I was too forward? I shouldn't have brought up a marriage that easily…"

Kyle exhaled loudly because he did not want to lose Sarah due to his aggressiveness. He decided to be more careful from now on and balance his approach. Sarah was a smart woman and he knew that she might analyze things like a lawyer which could lead to a misunderstanding if he would not make an effort in showing how genuine he was about pursuing her.

He went back to bed but stayed wide awake until the sun finally rose. He felt very restless so he immediately prepared to see Sarah.

He stopped by a supermarket to buy some groceries to cook for Sarah. He was in a good mood and soon arrived at the building apartment of Sarah. The guard already knew him as Sarah's boyfriend as Mrs. Jung had already informed them that Kyle was almost family so they should let him go up to Sarah's floor without asking for Sarah's approval.

"Will she be awake now?" he wondered and looked at his wristwatch and saw that it was 8:00 AM. He stood in front of her door and pressed the doorbell.

After pressing it four times, the door finally opened.

"Mom, it's still so early," Sarah complained with closed eyes. Only her family could easily come and go to her floor. And among them, it was only her mother who had the guts to visit her early in the morning.

"Sorry. I thought you would have woken up by now," Kyle answered with an awkward smile.

Sarah's eyes snapped open and she raised her head to stare at Kyle in awe. Then she realized she had just woken up. Who knows if she has morning glory in her eyes or messy hair.

'Oh, I surely look awful!' she panicked and unconsciously closed the door as she ran to the bathroom to fix herself and wash her face.

After a minute she ran back and opened the door.

"I'm sorry… I just washed my face," she timidly whispered and made way for him to enter.

"Yeah I saw some drool at the side of your lips," Kyle teased as he followed Sarah inside.

Sarah unknowingly touched the side of her lips, making Kyle chuckle.

Sarah's face crumpled and hissed, "Why are you here so early anyway?"

"I wanted to prepare breakfast for you. Sorry for disturbing your sleep. I thought you would be awake. You can go and sleep some more while I cook…" Kyle answered and comfortably walked past her towards her kitchen.

Sarah narrowed her eyes as it followed Kyle's back but then a beautiful smile curved on her lips as she quickly ran back to her bedroom to have a quick shower and dress up.

She was indeed very sleepy but the joy she felt after seeing Kyle made her squeal on the inside and had woken up every nerve in her body. She anticipated having breakfast with Kyle, not to mention him intentionally coming to her apartment to cook for her. She suddenly felt special because of that small gesture of his.
