            She quickly takes her eyes off his tempting body and she entered the house as she tried clearing her head of stupid thoughts.

             Demilade was a walking temptation. She thought as she find her way inside the house.

             Demilade followed Lola after he made sure the doors were locked. He went into their room. Lola was busy searching for what to wear. He took a towel that was hanging on the door and use it to wrap his torso before he went over to sit on the couch as he watched Lola rummage for a cloth.

"You should go and watch the water away from your body." He said to her when she finally find cloth she can wear.

"It's cold." She complained without looking at him.

"Turn the heater on. I will use the guest toilet." He said and he stood up. He went over to his closet and picked out random pajamas and he left the room. While Lola went to do as she was told. She went to the bathroom to take a shower.

            Thoughts were running through Demilade head. He kept wondering what prompted him to do what he did at the pool. He had never made such an irrational decision before. He closes his eyes as Lola's wet face and hair keep appearing on his face. He even has to see her body without...

            He opened his eyes and forced such thoughts out of his head. He tried blocking them out. He was overthinking things. She is not even affected but he was getting affected by everything she does. He thought and he groaned.

            He turned the heater to the highest. He did need a hot bath. Hopefully, it will help relieve some nerves.

             He sat in the living room watching TV after bathing and putting on his night cloth. He had listened to the news and afterwards an American action movie was aired. He zoned out from it. He had never been a fan of movies. He preferred them to be in a book.

             He was there for almost two hours in the quiet night. He finally decided to go and sleep. He was already feeling sleepy. He hoped Lola was asleep already.

             But his prayer didn't work. Lola was sitting on the rug in front of the bed. She have a textbook on her thigh and she was reading something from her phone. She seems so serious about it.

"You are still awake?" He asked, surprised and annoyed at the same time.

           She looked up at him and nodded. He had already showered and he was in baggy ash pyjamas. It was too big on him and it made her want to smile at how cute it was on him.

"Yes. Why? Were you expecting me to be asleep?" She asked with a questioning look.

               Trust Lola to answer a question and ask three questions. He thought. He didn't reply to her but just walked further into the room and he went to the couch where he will lay. He groaned when he noticed the couch was directly opposite where Lola was sitting on the floor.

"What are you still doing up?" He asked in a controlled voice.

"I'm reading. I'm preparing for an exam. Since I have slept almost all afternoon, I feel awake and I decided to use the time to read." She replied and she picked up her phone.

            Demilade just nodded and he lay on the couch. He really felt uncomfortable with the coach. He missed his big bed at his mansion. He had not had a really good sleep since the vacation started.

            He didn't want to make Lola uncomfortable on the bed and he also don't want to do something he might regret. He was trying to keep himself in check. Fortunately, Lola had not been sleeping in shorts.
