Go back to sleep, it's late.

**BEWARE, MATURE CONTENT AHEAD.**

That night, Gerard used the excuse of staying in his study to finish up some work just to avoid seeing Ayla.

I slept alone for the first time in this weekend time out but it felt strange and I realized that I had grown used to Gerard sleeping by my side that I wasn't even able to get a good night sleep now that he wasn't there.

I didn't want to disrupt his work so I just laid on the bed tossing and turning.

'Ayla... What is the matter with you? You should consider this an opportunity and not get restless because of it.'

I sighed and tried my best to get a good night sleep but just as I was about to sleep, the door to the room opened and Gerard walked in.

I sat up abruptly and stared at him for a long time as he stood by the door with his head leaned back and closed his eyes. I couldn't tell what he was thinking but all I cared about was myself right now.
