Lauren's POV

"I love you Lauren." I was staring at him confused, not able to respond. He was drunk. I lay him on the couch and gave him a water. Since he arrived and until now, he was mumbling about how he love me. I don't know if I had to believe him?

He was drunk. Did he really mean it?

Then he tried to get up but he was swaying.

"Please sit Zandros, you are drunk. Can you manage you not stumble in the stairs? You're too big though to carry you upstairs. Just sleep here." I said softly.

"I can. Please, sleep with me." he grinned with his eyes twinkling, like a kid. I shook my head in disbelief.

"Let's go upstairs. You can sleep with one of the guest room." I replied, ignoring his flirting.

He stood up and I stood on his side with his hand on my shoulder. My other hand was holding his hand and the other on his waist trying to help him steady.

After a decade, trying to steady him and not falling on the stairs, finally, we each one of the guest room that's not far from the stairs. I opened the door and turned the lights on. I'm glad that the room was always ready for any guest.

I help him lay on the bed. Then I took his shoes off and socks. I tried to take his coat off but he pulled me on top of him.

"I had to take your coat Zandros." I said sternly. Trying to calm my erotic nerves. Instilling in my head that he's drunk and wouldn't do this if he's sober. He will probably regret it after. He groaned loudly, but he let me go and just cooperate when I took his coat off.

He tried to take his pants off but I stop him.

"I can't sleep with my pants on." he whined, as he groaned.

"Fine. Then do it." I snapped uncomfortable.

"I can't. Will you help me?" he said huskily, batting his lashes on me. God, he's literally flirting with me.

"Then just keep still." I spat. Then I started unbuckling his belt and soon was tugging off his pants, leaving just his boxers. I notice the bulging in his crotch. I felt my whole body reacting, burning with the familiar sensations. But I shook it off.

"My shirt too, please..." he cooed. I look at him in disbelief. I don't know if I could still hold the temptation of not touching him. I miss him and all the longings I felt for him came rushing like a waves. But I knew too well, that this means nothing. He was drunk and he doesn't know what he's doing.

After taking off his shirt, I tuck him in the covers and about to leave when he grab my hand and pulled me. I squealed in surprise and I landed on his chest.

Where did he get that energy? He was like dying while ago!!

"I can't sleep with you Zandros." I snapped angrily, trying to conceal the growing desires within me.

"Please, sleep with me Lauren. I love you... No other girl had ever made me feel so complete with you." he confessed huskily. His eyes was staring deep down my soul. He looks so sincere and his eyes was full of love and longings. I almost lost it.

"Your drunk Zandros, you don't know what you're doing. When you wake up tomorrow, you'll regret coming here." I said feeling hurt at the end.

"I know what I'm doing and definitely what I'm saying." he growled hurtfully. I looked at him in disbelief. Why does he make it so hard? It's hurting me so much. "I love you Lauren. I really do. I have to tell you this. This is maybe the last time we will be together." he suddenly blurted out. His eyes was full of sadness. He looks so hurt. I quickly got out of him and stood on the side of the bed.
