"I am not." Scarlet might get nervous but she was never scared.
Rolland leaned back making himself more comfortable, "Come here." Seeing her change mood quickly he patted the sofa beside him.
"It's gonna be dawn soon. Sit here for a little while." he said. Looking at him..
Rolland clearly don't want to move so she went and sit beside him.
Scarlet calmed herself down. She crossed her legs and sat comfortably with arms folded on her chest.
Rolland knows she was too cool, can't help but admire her. While Scarlet think he was too attractive which she was glad. Scarlet has been always surrounded by good looking people.
Rolland Clark know he never invited any woman like his wife just now to sit beside him. Since he was rich and famous, woman just come themselves when he is at party or outside any place. Rolland understand what is Give and Take clearly so did they.
The woman beside him was very simple... so simple. She appears as if she doesn't care about anything around her. She's clean, emotionless and steady who knows how to maintain herself. That's what Rolland find from Scarlet.
On the other hand...
Scarlet did not try to bother him. She just sat as he told her. Scarlet know Rolland was looking at her but it didn't matter nor did she look. It's not like she never received people eyes on her before.
Scarlet switch on the TV remote since she don't want to sit there ideal looking at the huge walls.
No One speak, the room was quite only the previous news was playing in front of them. Their position remain the same way. Second passed to minutes then two to fifteen minutes. The husband and wife were in their own world aimlessly.
It's physiological fact that if human stay without moving for more than fifteen minutes probably you will fall asleep.
Scarlet feel sleepy so he looked at Rolland to say goodbye but he was asleep next to her. His right hand behind her on the sofa while his head was close to her shoulder but wasn't touching only his front hair was touching her clothes.
Scarlet off the TV and move to leave.
"Don't leave now." deep low voice came from the man who's eyes were closed. He pulled her arm to sit down.
Rolland Clark was not fully asleep so he can still feel his surroundings.
"It's passed three in the morning. You better rest in the bedroom and I want to rest as well." Scarlet was little annoyed.She still managed her voice not to be rude but was not gentle either.
"Don't move and stop talking."
Scarlet stop herself from hitting the man and she was also stunned a bit. This time he rest on her shoulder with closed eyes. Does he want to sleep this way?
Scarlet understand there is no used talking to him and leaving him seems bad either since he didn't want to let go. What's the use there, they hardly know each other. An! yes for the sake of husband and wife she doesn't want any conflict in the marriage. Why lost temper over little things...., so hopeless. And she stay like that.
Scarlet closed her eyes and leaned back her head making it on the sofa. Then both drifted off to their own world.
Rolland and Scarlet had no idea that their position would be change when they woke up.
In the morning, when Uncle An came in he was stunned by the scene before him. O My! O My! O My Me...
