Previously...

Warrick wasn't ready for her dressing choice. Somehow, a small T-

shirt and white panties seemed a bit too much for him to stand

without blushing. But looking in her eyes didn't made things any

better. Fury and wrath made her eyes shine in a way that reminded him

too much to desire.

Three – The unexpected

*** *** ***

Catherine felt a sudden rush of blood to her face when she opened the

door to meet Warrick's eyes and smile instead of the disgusting fake

smirk of a stranger she was expecting. All her sleepiness faded away.

It took her a few seconds to realize she was standing half naked

before him and half her neighborhood. She moved aside to let him in

but he didn't move.

"Come on in Warrick, I'm giving a great show standing here."

He finally moved.

"Did I wake you?"

She thought that was a stupid question.

"Do you think I dress like this to go shopping?"

She thought that was a rude answer. She quickly apologized. It wasn't

his fault if she had had a terrible day, so she offered him some

coffee, some juice, some milk, something with alcohol in it... till

he touched her arm and asked her to stop.

His hand had an immediate effect on her. The effect of making her

realize she was still almost naked and burning up in heat. Should she

go upstairs to cover herself? Or was it better to hear what he had to

say so he'll leave faster and she could have a cold shower before

going back to bed? She didn't have time to make the choice, before

she could made her mind up, he handed her his gift.

She took it with a smile. 'You shouldn't have come all the way here

to give me this, Warrick. You could've waited till...' she had opened

it and she froze. Her eyes traveled from the content of the box to

Warrick and then back to the box, only to come back to Warrick.

He was standing before her with a serious face. She wasn't sure of

how to react. Was it another joke? She thought she couldn't stand

another joke. And he looked so serious!

"Like it?"
