Dog Days are Over

Samantha pulled away from his kiss gently and lowered her head before she spoke, "I... I don't think... I'm ready yet.". Her voice was low and sounded nervous.

Daniel lifted her chin up so he could look her in the eye, "It's okay like I said... we don't have to do anything that you don't want to. We can just stay like this until tomorrow. I just want to see you beside me when I wake up."

She gave him a smile before she nuzzled against his chest and slipped her arm around his waist.

While Daniel was taking a shower, Samantha slipped out from her dress. She didn't have any spare clothes because all she brought was her purse. Then she found Daniel's dress shirt hanging on a chair and decided to wear it.

Samantha walked towards the kitchen and rummaged through his counter until she found some olive oil. She poured some on her palm and started dabbing the oil on her face to remove the face paint. It took some time but she managed to wipe the paint off her face with the help of a paper towel. When she was satisfied, she rinsed her face with mild soap.

When she came back to the bedroom, Daniel was still in the shower. Her eyelids became heavy and so she fell asleep on the bed.

As Daniel got out of the bathroom, he carefully slipped under the covers and slept next to her.

The next day, in a luxurious King-sized bed, laid a man and a woman who spent the night together. She woke up to the rays of sunlight hitting her face and she stirred about in the bed when suddenly she noticed that she wasn't alone. A manly arm with toned muscles served as her pillow.

With her groggy eyes, she turned her head to her side where the other person was sleeping. That's when she saw a fair-skinned man with really soft and pretty lips. The man had really clear skin, he's beautiful, she thought. Upon looking down below his face, she noticed that the man was topless and that she was only wearing her underwear. Her gaze shot back up to his face and her eyes widened in horror. She heaved, her chest rising and falling before she let out a cry.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!", she screamed at the top of her lungs and she managed to kick and push the man out of the bed; *BANG!* the pitiful topless beautiful man landed on the floor with an aching back.

"UGGHHH", he groaned as he massaged his nape and back, "What the f*ck? Who kicked me?", he said while his eyes were still closed.

The woman panicked as she tried to cover herself with the duvet. She was so frightened and was very confused about how she ended up in the bed with a man; a man whom she least expected to sleep in the bed with!

The topless man squinted his eyes and covered his face from the glaring sunlight. That's when he saw the woman on the bed staring daggers at her, "Hannah? What-"

"Joon!! What the hell happened last night?!!", she said frantically while she looked at Samantha's brother.

At Daniel's Penthouse.

Waking up with Samantha next to him, Daniel instantly smiled upon seeing her. He turned to his side with his hand supporting his head. He looked at Samantha who was still sleeping soundly.

Daniel watched her peaceful face, oh how he wished he could wake up like this every day. Samantha's brows scrunched up a little like she was dreaming about something. He found this cute and he couldn't resist but to move closer and kiss her forehead gently.

Samantha's eyes opened when Daniel's cool lips touched her skin and saw him hovering her. She moved closer to him and burrowed her face at the crook of his neck as she hugged him.

"Sorry, did I wake you?", he asked as he held her close.

"It's okay...", she said in a small voice that tickled his neck.

"Well since you're awake...", he flipped himself on top of Samantha and trapped her under him. "I can do this then." Daniel pressed his lips on Samantha's ever so gently giving small bites on her lower lip and grazing his tongue across it.

*Gurgle* Samantha's stomach made a sound to complain of hunger. Her eyes widened in embarrassment and Daniel laughed. "You really know how to choose your timing."

She bit her lip and didn't say anything. Daniel kissed her nose before he got out of bed.

"You go wash up, I'll make you breakfast.".

Hannah and Seo Joon just finished washing up and changing clothes, both of them were quiet after the shock from earlier.

Seo Joon was only wearing a bathrobe while sitting on the sofa while Hannah wore the gown from last night because they don't have any spare clothes.

Both of them are feeling awkward and can barely look at each other in the eye. Seo Joon's phone rang and he picked it up right away.

"Okay. Bring it up to the room.", he said before he hung up the call.

"My assistant has arrived, he'll be here soon. I'll change quickly then I'll bring you home."

"It's okay. You don't have to, I can take the taxi.", Hannah tried to decline, the faster she gets out of here, the sooner she'll be less embarrassed.

"No, I won't allow that. Whatever happened last night--"

"Nothing happened!!", she yelled anxiously.

"Geez calm down. Okay, nothing happened. But still Hannah, I'm not an ass. I was your date last night, I picked you up so it's just right for me to bring you home.", Seo Joon said before he stood up.

"It's okay. I don't mind taking the taxi. I will not think badly about you."

He sighed, "This isn't a negotiation."

A doorbell rang from the door and Seo Joon walked over to open it. He opened the door slightly so that his assistant wouldn't see Hannah inside. After he got his clothes, he quickly changed into it in the bathroom.

When Hannah and Seo Joon got inside the Porsche 911, Hannah spoke first, "Joon.."

"Yes?", he answered as he started the engine.

"Nothing happened.", she said resolutely.

"We've already established that."

"I'm just making sure."

"Got it."

"We can't tell anyone, especially Samantha.", Hannah said firmly while she looked at Seo Joon.

He didn't say anything, he just nodded.

The rest of the ride was very quiet, none of them spoke because both of them were feeling very weird and awkward with each other. Soon, they arrived at Hannah's place.

"Thanks.", she said as she got out of the car and ran to her door.

Why is Hannah feeling very awkward? Can it be that she's starting to like Seo Joon? Seo Joon, on the other hand, is also a bit baffled. He has known Hannah since they were little. What happened was definitely something that would affect their relationship.

Meanwhile at the Penthouse.

The penthouse smelled of pancakes, bacon and freshly brewed coffee. Inside the brightly lit kitchen, a young CEO is making breakfast for his girlfriend. The sizzling sound of the meat and oil and the voice of Florence and the Machine singing "Dog Days Are Over" filled the room.

Daniel was cooking breakfast when Samantha came out of his bedroom. She sauntered towards the modern kitchen smelling the delicious bacon and pancakes he prepared. Drying her hair with the towel, Samantha ogled Daniel's back. She's used to seeing him in formal wears and this look in front of her right now was something she liked as well.

With a slightly disheveled hair, Daniel was only wearing dark grey lounge pants that hung lowly on his waist. His light tanned skin made his broad shoulders appear even sexier, and his well-fined arms flexed every time he flips a pancake. She didn't shy away as she looked at his topless state while he cooked. She leaned her back on to the counter, Daniel looked at her way and their eyes met.

"Nice morning song", she grinned.

"I'm almost done--", he paused when he saw Samantha wearing his shirt and boxers. A smile formed on his lips when Daniel thought Samantha looked tempting in his clothes.

"I borrowed your clothes, I hope you don't mind.",

Daniel smirked, "You don't even have to wear clothes and I still wouldn't mind."

Samantha didn't want to lose... With a brave face on, she sat on the breakfast table facing Daniel. "You know... I find a man who can cook, sexy."

Daniel plated the bacon into the plates and turned to face Samantha,

"Really? So I'm sexy then?" , he said as he gave her a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

She revealed her pearly white teeth, smiling before she sipped her coffee.

Daniel gave her a devilish smile, "I just cooked and you already find me sexy, how much more when you see me naked."

Samantha spat the coffee and went into a coughing fit. She could never win against this man! She eyed her gorgeous boyfriend in his cocky smile, picked up a piece of bacon from the plate and threw it at him. Daniel caught the bacon and took a bite. He chewed while he was smiling at Samantha, he's so amused when Samantha tries to be flirty but then ends up blushing from his teasing.
