His suit jacket was missing, and his white shirt got wrinkled. His hands rested
on his legs, and his head was slightly upward tilting. Several strands of hair fell
carelessly over his forehead.
His expression was intense and focused–like a stray dog on the roadside,
waiting to be picked up and taken home.
Celeste internally berated herself. “Celeste, you must be losing your mind to think he’s pitiful!”
“Celeste,” he gently called.
Celeste’s heart did a little dance, and she froze in her tracks, not getting any
closer.

Kendric stood up.
“Hold it right there, don’t come closer!”
He obeyed without a fuss, taking a couple of steps back and retaking his
“So, who took you here?”
Kendric strained his memory, “Ezra Winters.”
“Where’s he now?”
Kendric shook his head, gazing toward the entrance, “he’s left.”
Celeste made a call to Ezra again, but nobody answered.
Damn jerk!”
She then tried to dial Cade, but it suddenly dawned on her that she’d wiped

“Hand over your phone,” she extended her hand.
Kendric shook his head, “I didn’t bring my phone.”
Celeste didn’t buy it, so she took a couple of steps nearer, “let me frisk your
pockets.”
When Celeste reached into his pocket, he leaned into her, “I swear, I don’t have the phone. I’m not lying.”
Celeste found all his pockets empty and he really didn’t bring the phone.
Kendric flashed a smug grin, “told ya, no phone!”
Celeste sighed. It was late at night, and having a drunken fellow outside
could stir up trouble. Celeste straightened out his attire, “stand straight.”
Kendric had been leaning on her, but when he heard her command, he straightened–up right away.
“Good boy.”

Celeste had to bring Kendric home. As soon as they came into the room, het
leaned against her. He closed his eyes and let out a deep breath, “we’re finally
home.”
Celeste led him to the living room, then she went searching for Cade’s phone number.
Kendric and snatched the phone from her grip. He grinned, “is the phone more appealing than me?”
“Give my phone back.”
Kendric took her phone and smoothly guessed her password. “Let’s see what’s so captivating on this phone.”
Honestly, Celeste had never seen Kendric act so… silly.
Celeste resorted to sweet–talk, “there’s nothing more attractive than you. Give it back to me.”
Kendric powered down the phone, and before Celeste could react, he stepped on a chair and placed her phone on chandelier.
Celeste was totally dumbfounded.
“What the hell are you doing?!”
“You said I’m the most attractive, so we don’t need the phone now.”
“Alright, I gave in. Can you go to bed now?”
Kendric’s gaze wandered toward the master bedroom. “Sure.”
“Come with me,” she headed to the guest room.

“Go ahead and sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, you should leave,
alright?” Celeste said as she made the bed.
But when she turned around, she found no one behind her.
She walked out and found him in the master bedroom. He was sitting on
the bed, gazing at her intently.
“Sleep here,” he said.
Arguing with a drunken head would be stupid. “Alright,” she agreed.
He began unbuttoning his shirt.
“Wait, wait, what are you doing?” Celeste hurriedly stopped him.
He blinked innocently, “undress for sleep.”
Celeste quickly grabbed his loosened tie, “just keep your clothes on for the night.”
Though he didn’t seem pleased, he followed her words. When Celeste was about to leave, he sat up, “it’s time to sleep.”
Celeste had no idea what was going on in his mind. His thoughts now were beyond what a normal person could
grasp.
He pulled back patted the bed. p covers an
Celeste grabbed a nearby cushion. “It’ll accompany you into sleep. I have something else to do.”
Kendric furrowed his brow, deep in thought.
Finally, with Kendric sleeping soundly, Celeste collapsed in the guest room. She was genuinely surprised by his behavior that night. He was still stubborn,

but he was more reasonable, and less irritating.
Early the next morning, as Kendric woke up, he found himself in a strange
room.
Upon opening the door, Kendric caught Celeste standing on tiptoe on a
chair, reaching for her phone. He’s abrupt appearance nearly caused her to
tumble from the chair.
“What are you doing?” he inquired.
Today’s Kendric returned to his customary aloof demeanor. Celeste felt a
tinge of disappointment.
“I’m getting my phone. It’s on the chandelier,” Celeste replied.
Kendrie–rolled up his shirt sleeves, and signaled for Celeste to descend from
the chair. “How did your phone end up on the chandelier?”
Celeste rolled her eyes. “Someone put it there, of course.”
Stepping onto the chair, Kendric effortlessly retrieved her phone. He flicked away the dust off his sleeve.
“You don’t have any memories of last night?” Celeste inquired.
