Chapter 3 Three

Refulgence of the bright morning light shone on Janes' face. Snuggling with indulgence into the softness and savouring the warmth beside her. She slowly came awake, reluctantly opening her eyes, blinking away sleep, stared at the dull white wallpaper above her, momentarily dazed. This is not what my rooms ceiling looks like, wait! This is not even my room, she thought.

Alarmed, Jane became aware of her unfamiliar surrounding, she bolted upright in bed, looking around at the room in panic.

"What the hell," she voiced her thoughts loudly. Only then feeling, registering the presence of a person beside her, before a husky voice spoke in her ear, closer than she was comfortable with.

" Not quite the greeting I expected. " She turned her head towards his voice and spoke the first thing that came to her mind.

" It's you. " Jane gasped, vaguely recognizing him. Her brain in a turmoil, scrambling, attempting to connect the dots of the last events on her memory. However, the last thing she remembered, recalled more like was crawling inside a strangers vehicle.

"And we meet again, under unusual circumstances, of course," he said casually leaning back against the headboard, crossing his arms, watching her studiously, with interest.

"How in frigging hell did I end up, in a bed, with an arrogant ass like you," Jane bit back through gritted teeth. Staring boldly into his blue magnetic eyes that made her heart race, for the first time noticing just how surprisingly beautiful his eyes were, curiously studying his posture, obtusely noting his sleep mussed brownish black hair in a disarray arrangement falling on his face, it seemed a bit longer now compared to when she last saw him. He had the face of a movie star with high cheekbones and a chiseled jaw that looked stubborn as he did. Her eyes drifting lower, towards his mouth.

Gosh! He has kissable lips. Very mobile. That too. Focus Jane Focus !

Shaking her head, Jane couldn't help but shift her attention towards his broad shoulders, his very muscular physique and how he filled out that shirt.

Am I gawking ? Oh no . I am totally drooling over this guy.

She directed her gaze back to his face and was startled to find that he also was studying her form with an intensity.

She started to feel uncomfortable under his gaze. Peering down at her body, Jane noticed her own wrinkled top, mortified when she saw how much cleavage was revealed to his inspecting gaze.

She quickly grabbed the duvet, covering her chest from his direct hypnotic eyes. Amused, he grinned suddenly, trailing her action whilst her heart started slamming, beating like crazy. He seemed even closer now, much to her nervousness even though he hadn't moved at all , his close proximity creating havoc within her, craving distance from him.

In a hurried manner, Jane tried to maneuver, whilst unknowingly dragging the sheets with her, attempted to get out of bed with the duvet still clutched to her chest.

When suddenly her legs tripped on the sheets and Jane went tumbling down on the floor beside the bed with a loud oomph.
