Me After Meeting You

Ruby sat back down again.

“Don’t be so cruel to me. I’m your brother.” He rolled down his sleeves again, and his expression turned severe and his tone serious. “What’s more, it’s not like I have a say in you two’s affairs.”

And then he added on very shamelessly, “I’m going to go to sleep. Don’t make too much noise during the night. Just remember, your brother’s outside.”

Amber threw a pillow and blankets at him.

Ruby jumped up, grabbed them, and slid into the guest room.

Along, Amber lay down on the sofa. She felt so embarrassed that she knocked her head against the armrest a couple of times, but instead of becoming more clearheaded, her headache just worsened.

When she returned to her bedroom, Ian was sitting in front of her desk, so gloomily that she could almost see mushrooms sprouting around him. His eyelashes were drooping, and he had one hand on the table, a finger picking restlessly at the surface.

“Stop that. You’re going to dig a hole in the desk.”

He ignored her, continuing to pick at it. Amber decided to try to reason with him. “How about you go and take a cold shower?”

He continued to ignore her, still picking at the table.

That rustling noise sounded like a mouse gnawing at food, and it was enough to drive someone crazy.

Amber had to walk over and forcefully grab his hand. “Really, stop-”

But she was cut off because Ian had stopped picking at the table and had instead pushed her whole body onto it. He grabbed her hand, thrust it by ‘the tent’ in his pants, and hoarsely demanded, “Deal with it!”

Amber wanted to curse, but she steeled herself, curled up her fingers, and ground her teeth instead. “Aren’t you scared that I’ll break it off?”

He tore off his pants with one hand. “Then break it!”

“….”

Amber was forced to lower her standards, and helped this uncouth person deal with his personal problem. Even when her arm became sore, he still wasn’t satisfied.

“It still feels uncomfortable.” He stared at her with a burning, lustful gaze.

It made Amber furious, so much so that she leapt on him and fiercely bit down at him indiscriminately. In response, Ian hugged her as he also rolled onto the bed. Then, they fought.

They just wrestled, not doing anything else. Of course, as they wrestled, they rolled all over the bed and pressed their bodies against each other. Ian also took advantage of this opportunity to fondle her all over her body, so besides the very last step, they had essentially done everything else.

As to why they never ended up taking that last step, it was because Ruby was in the room directly opposite them!

Mr. Axton had read books, and he had also heard his friends talk about how during a woman’s first time, she would make a big commotion. So, last time in the washroom, he’d resisted the temptation to do it, and he wasn’t going to do it now for the same reason, the environment wasn’t appropriate!

Finally, once both of them were tired of tussling, Ian even dragged Amber into the bathroom to shower. Then, they had to change the bedsheets before he was finally ready to sleep.

When Amber woke up the next day, she saw Ian sleeping in an orderly fashion by her side. The disparity between last night’s events almost made her think that she’d jumped a few months back in time, only regaining her senses when she realized that she was in her apartment.

And then she noticed a red mark by Ian’s neck, almost like a shell necklace. In her memories, she recalled one scene that seemed to involve her biting and gnawing at his neck. “If you bite me, then I’m going to bite you too!”

‘… Honestly, could I have been any more childish?!’

Amber had never done anything crazy while drunk, so she didn’t know what had come over her last night. And Ian had no intention of hiding it at all, he woke up not long after Amber, because he didn’t have a change of clothes, and he walked around just draped in a towel, fully putting his “wounded” body on display-and the only reason he even used a towel was because Ruby was there.

Ruby was woken up by the fragrant aroma coming from the kitchen, and when he came out, he immediately came face to face with Ian. He was so shocked that his lower jaw looked like it was about to fall off. “My goodness, is my sister really this fierce?”

Ian looked down at his body, ignored Ruby, went into the kitchen, and declared, “I’m hungry.”

And then Ruby heard his sister’s exasperated voice. “Why did you come out dressed like this?!”

Ian’s calm voice replied back, “I don’t have any clothes.”

After a short pause, he added on, “You made it dirty.”

Ruby was struck speechless by this exchange. “….”

Nope, he wasn’t thinking of anything dirty at all ….

Breakfast that morning was an embarrassing affair. Of course, it was only embarrassing for Amber and Ruby. While Mr. Axton had a very comfortable time because even though Amber was angry, she was still concerned about him.

When she served breakfast, Ruby picked up a bowl, and Amber said, “That’s not yours, yours is the other.”

Ruby confusedly asked, “Is there a reason?”

Amber fiercely replied, “There’s poison in this bowl. Do you still want it?”

And then she handed that bowl to Ian. He glanced at it and recalled that this was the one he’d used last time. He immediately felt strangely touched upon realizing that she had left it specially for him.

After breakfast, Ian wiped his lips and told Amber dan Ruby, who were about to slip away, “I’m planning on moving in.”

He then first looked at Ruby. “In the future, if you’re planning on sleeping over, please make a reservation beforehand.”

Then, he looked at Amber. “The interior decoration of this place is too strange. Before moving in, I intend on refurbishing the entire apartment.”
