Men’s scars are a symbol.
-Is it his wound for the girl? If it’s true, how dramatic! -Ariana thought.
She was bitter about this.
She took care of him all night and he ended up treating her like another woman.
-How outrageous, she thought.
Thinking this, Ariana raised her hand and slapped Nathan Secada’s forehead.
Nathan must have felt uncomfortable and his newly relaxed brow furrowed again.
-Ha, look at you, I was supposed to hit you hard. -she thought.
Ariana was anxious, looking at the hand that was being held by Nathan and wondering if she had to keep it that way.
Ariana has proven to be very adaptable. She gets along well wherever she is.
Finally, she fell asleep leaning against the sofa.
***
Nathan felt his body go numb and his head hurt as if it was about to explode. He was clutching something in his hands, but he was so tired that it was hard to open his eyes.
The surroundings were unfamiliar to him.
But then he felt as if the surroundings were vaguely familiar, as if he had seen them before.
But again, unable to remember where this was, Nathan’s forehead hurt so much that he unconsciously tried to reach out and squeeze his own forehead, but found that he could not move his hand at all.
He frowned slightly and looked to his right.
One look, and he froze.
A girl, wearing white pajamas, sat on the floor leaning against the couch. And her head was resting on his arm. Her hair was vaguely perfumed.
Her face…
Soon Nathan remembered what had happened last night.
Then he was in a bar and the girl came over to talk to him. But after the conversation, Nathan felt that he was no longer lucid.
But he felt good that he was going to get drunk.
In the end, he was so drunk that he didn’t know what happened. That’s why he was so stunned when he saw this situation.
Nathan guessed what had probably happened.
He was in love with a girl and did not like it when other girls approached him. When Nathan became aware of this, he tried to push Ariana, who was leaning on his arm, away from him.
By his movement, Ariana woke up. She opened her eyes in confusion.
They looked at each other for a moment.
Nathan thought Ariana was going to scream when in reality Ariana said calmly, -You are awake.
Nathan became silent.
-Why is she reacting like this, how strange! -he thought.
Actually, it was possible that she would be surprised to be near Nathan if she didn’t know what happened last night. But she had helped him all night, tired. So, she was so impressed that she wasn’t going to forget him.
-Get up. -He said coldly.
Ariana looked at Nathan and was angry at his look, “What are you doing?
-You’re on my arm. -Nathan answered without any emotion.
Ariana stood without saying anything.
She froze and wanted to curse him. When she saw him grab her hand, she leaned closer and said, “Are you uncomfortable because I’m on your arm?
Nathan frowned and looked at her incomprehensibly.
-Tell me, am I happy?
When he finished, Ariana raised her hand.
Nathan had been holding her hand all night, and she still didn’t let go because Nathan grabbed her hand tightly.
Nathan was embarrassed because he really grabbed her hand and did not let go.
He let go of her hand immediately, and saw that Ariana had red marks on her wrist.
Nathan was stunned, thinking about what he did last night.
-I don’t want to sleep on your arm, but you grabbed me and I can’t let go. That’s why I sit here sleeping all night. It’s not your fault? Why are you blaming me?
-I’m sorry. -Nathan
Looking at his wrist, Nathan didn’t know what he was doing last night.
Only he was very sorry.
She knew that whatever she said, Nathan would not refute it.
Looking at her hand, Nathan knew what he could say, but only said, “It’s my fault, I’m sorry. What can I do for you? Or do you want to punish me?
Punish?
If Ariana had to choose, she would definitely choose the former.
Because she had no inclination to punish others, and had no interest in doing so.
But seeing Nathan with such an obedient profile, which was a world away from before.
Maybe…
Nathan did not notice Ariana’s flash of cunning.
Ariana started to play nice, -Forget it, I know you didn’t mean to, after all, you lost your love, being drunk and not knowing anything is also considered excusable, I’m so generous I won’t take it personally with you. But… I helped you last night, so you must help me once when I need.
This request?
Nathan frowned slightly; this kind of promise was something that many people feared. After all, all you have to do is pay back the money you owe, but this kind of request is something you don’t know if you can fulfill and it can be psychologically overwhelming.
But… Nathan looked at the girl sitting on the cold floor. He thought he had hurt her like that, what reason was there not to say yes?
-Okay, and from now on, if you need help, just tell me.
Having said this, Nathan sat up and then saw that he was covered with a blanket and thought, -I didn’t think she was so kind after all.
But it wasn’t strange, if she wasn’t a nice girl, she hadn’t taken a man into her own home.
Fortunately, he was not a man with bad intentions.
Thinking that, Nathan looked at Ariana and warned her, -Don’t take strangers home in the future.
