Chapter 25
Honeymoon Chaos (2)
Ryder shook his head. He could not believe what he was thinking in his head right now.
He shook his head. Forget about Scarlett. Even he thought that he was despicable now.
Ryder pulled away from. He did not want to continue looking at her. He did not know what he was going to do if he continued to look at her like this.
"Go to bed. I'll sleep on the sofa" he said.
Scarlett watched as the man walked away, like he was trying to avoid her. She really could not understand what he was trying to do. A few minutes ago, he had been kicking up a fuss and saying that he was not going to sleep on the couch, but now he was suddenly offering to do it?
What happened to him? And the gaze that he used to look at her just now....it was burning and scorching hot....she did not understand it...
But there was no way that she could bring herself to ask him about it anyway
Because anytime she thought about it she felt a burning sensation in her face.
Scarlett subconsciously brought her hand to face. It was hot. It could not be that she was blushing right?
Just having Ryder so close to her made her blush...what really is going on with her?
"Ah yes...." Scarlett said. She got what she wanted... but why does she feel hollow and empty thinking about it?
Ryder did not say anything else...he immediately positioned himself on the couch... preparing to go to bed. He tried hard to stop himself from looking over at Scarlett.
Because he did not know when and how he was going to lose his mind if he continued looking at her.
Scarlett looked at the big man who was forced to lie on the tiny couch and she could not help but feel a pain in her heart. It was obviously too small for him and yet.. she forced him to sleep there...it must be hard for him right?
Thinking about it, Scarlett felt as if she was a bad person. The bed was big enough for the both of them to share....but she forced him to sleep there because she was insecure...
Thinking about it logically, if he wanted to do something to her then... There was nothing that could stop him. Even if he did not sleep on the bed...if he really had such intentions.. she won't be able to stop him. He is a man... and she is just a girl...no matter what..she won't be able to fight against him.
For the first time, Scarlett felt as if her actions were really unreasonable.
Scarlett shook her head and went to sleep. She knew that she won't be getting any sleep if she continued to think about it like this.
Ryder lay on the couch and closed his eyes. He wasn't sleeping but he didn't want to give Scarlett the impression that he was uncomfortable even though his legs were aching.
After some time, he opened his eyes and looked at the bed. It seemed that she was sleeping. He could look at her now without being scared that she will find out.
Ryder really couldn't understand it. What is going on with him? Why is his heart beating so fast? Thinking about it ..the last time that his heart beat like this ....it was five years ago.
He was reminded of that person from five years ago. Thinkng about it now, ever since he met Scarlett...he was thinking about her less and less now.
Scarlett...her appearing in his life like this ..is it a good thing or a bad thing? Only time will be able to tell.

Rose opened her eyes. She had a splitting headache. What really is going on with her? She tried to remember the events of last night.
She was drinking...and then she met a pervert .. then she met a really handsome man...besides that...what happened?
Rose looked around. She wasn't in her room. Meaning that she did not go home last night. Then where is this place? Where did she spend the night? Who brought her here?
Rose closed her eyes and opened them again, trying to take in her surroundings. It took a few seconds for her to find out that this was probably an hotel suite. But who brought her to an hotel suite?
It couldn't be that she fell into the hands of that disgusting pervert right?
"No....that can't happen...." Scarlett accidentally blurted her thoughts out.
"What can't happen?" Someone asked.
"Ahhh...!!!" Rose shrieked when she heard the voice of the man. Is this the person who brought her here to this place yesterday night? What happened to them last night. They didn't do anything that they shouldn't have done right?
Even though Rose did not want to, she turned to look at the man.
It was the same handsome man that she met yesterday. Immediately she saw him, she immediately recognized who he was. Because she was drunk last night, she merely thought that he looks familiar she could not think about where she had met him from.
Seeing him now....
Isn't this Mike? The PR director of this company?
The person that she met yesterday was him?
"You...you what happened to us yesterday?" Rose asked. This was what was most important to her. She wanted to make sure that she did not make any mistakes when she was drunk last night.
Mike sneered in his mind. Ha! This woman is really not very much different from her artist. No wonder they had such a great relationship. Mike had been wondering why Scarlett did not change managers after so long even though she was known for her bad temper. It turned out that it was because she was exactly the same person with her Manager. Of course, the both of them were going to get along well.
"Is that the first person that you say to the person who helped you?" He asked her.
"Help...help me?" Rose repeated. All the events of last night started coming back to her. It turns out that this person really did help her... if not she would have been in some really serious trouble here.
It was after she found out that he helped her that her mind started to register the image of the person in her mind.
Besides the fact that he was handsome...he was only tying a towel around his waist!
What the hell is wrong with this?!
Even though she did not want to, Rose found herself looking at his body. What is this? She almost had a nose blood looking at this man. What is he doing?
Can't he see that there is someone else...a woman with him in the room? Doesn't he know that he should at least wear a shirt before he comes out of the bathroom?
What the hell is going on with this man?
Before she could say anything else to him, she heard his voice.
"Are you done looking at me? If you are done looking then look away, if you aren't, then tell me then I'll have to charge you. So what do you want? Look away or get charged?" Matt asked.
He was smirking. Obviously, this person was enjoying this conversation.
she really could not find words to say. Doesn't this person know any shame? He was the one who didn't wear a shirt when coming out and now he is blaming her for it? What the hell is going on here?
But no matter what, Rose wasn't as thick skinned as the man in front of her so she could not help but blush when she looked at him.
"Cough... cough..don't you know that there is someone else in the room? How can you...how can you ..come out with only a towel? You should wear a shirt" Rose said. She was no longer drunk. She was now sober. There was no way that she could continue to act the way that she when she was drunk.
Matt narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him. She was different from the person that she was yesterday. Is it because she was drunk yesterday? So she wasn't acting like they anymore?
Between her carefree attitude yesterday and her abashed attitude today, he really did not know which one he liked best.
He found out that each side of hers was equally interesting. He was becoming more and more interested in this woman.
"I paid for this room. I can do whatever I want here. Even if I want to walk naked...i had nothing to do with you!" Matt said.
Even though he said this, he already turned around and was putting on a shirt. He knew that if he continued teasing this woman like this, then she was going to lose her mind any time soon. He did not want that to happen to her at all.
Rose saw that he was finally agreeing to change and she turned away, to give him some privacy, even though he did not seem like he wanted the privacy in any way.
Rose turned back after she was sure that he was done changing.
Because she had been distracted, she had not confirmed what she really wanted to know
"Umm excuse me.. nothing happened between us yesterday right?" Rose asked. She knew that she rented to act crazy if she was drunk. She was just worried that she went over board this time. She did not want to do much.
"What do you think could have happened? You want something to happen?" Matt asked raising his eyebrows.
Almost immediately, he saw her face turning a shade of red. He admitted it now. He liked her being shy and bashful more. He really wanted to continue teasing her.
Even though he knew that it was ungentlemanly, he really did not want to drop. He wanted to continue to tease her like this.
"You....you....how can you act like this? You are going too far!"" Rose asked. She really did not know where this person came from. Why can't he act normal? Why does he need to keep beating around the bush like this?
"How exactly am I acting? Have you forgotten what you did yesterday? Yesterday you said that I'm your boyfriend...you kept clinging on to me and won't even let when I told you to let go ...how can you say that I'm too much? Last night....you were the one who went too far yesterday. Why are you blaming me for what you did?" Matt asked.
Matt thought that he was really shameless. He did improvise on what happened yesterday, adding so much to the situation but she did not have to know. As long as he could continue teasing her like this.
Rose thought about the things that she did yesterday she remembered claiming that he was her boyfriend yesterday when that man tried to take advantage of her....
But she could not remember anything else besides that she knew that she could not rely on this person to tell her what happened.
She can do it herself. She knew her body best anyways. She was sure that...if something happened between them yesterday
There would definitely be some changes on her body
