Ivan didn't know how he could drive a car without causing an accident now and by the time he realized it, he was already in front of Rachel's apartment building.
He looked at the building before him and was terrified to find something he didn't want to see in there.
Ivan was afraid that he would find out that what Apple said was true and he couldn't stand it. He didn't know what to do or what to say.
Ivan didn't even know what his response would be if he found out this was actually happening.
Ivan's mind was really in a mess.
He couldn't think straight and hoped this was just a misunderstanding.
And as he kept thinking about this, he found himself right in front of Rachel's door.
It wasn't the first time Ivan had been in Rachel's apartment, of course. But for some reason, his heart was beating so fast he couldn't bring himself to open the door.
Just that one door.
Ivan then clenched his shaking hands and began to press the numbers for the password to open the door and enter it.
It was an easy thing, wasn't it? He could do that. There was nothing wrong with any of that…
Ivan just had to enter this apartment as usual. Nothing would be different. He would find Rachel sleeping in her room with a blanket wrapped around her.
Then, Ivan would sneak into her blanket too and hug her. Rachel would be surprised at his early return and later Ivan would say it was a surprise from him.
And they would make love and in the morning Ivan would make Rachel breakfast as usual.
Yes. That was what would happen. There was nothing to worry about. There was nothing to be afraid of.
Ivan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, even though he knew he was anything but calm. His whole body trembled as he entered the numbers of the password into the lock and when he opened the door, Ivan felt that the door was a hundred times heavier than usual and this made him feel very dizzy.
And when he did opened it, the first step to enter this apartment felt even harder. He felt that there was a very heavy burden on his shoulders that he could not get rid of.
"Baby?" Ivan tried to make a sound, calling out to Rachel, but his voice sounded far away, like a whisper and this made Ivan realize how scared he was.
Ivan had been looking for the ring that Rachel wanted and had to admit that the price of the ring was beyond his means, but since Rachel liked it, so why not?
His footsteps stopped when he reached the living room, where he found a suitcase as well as a blanket and pillow on the sofa. It looked like someone had spent the night here, but Rachel didn't say anything about any of her friends staying the night.
Seeing this made Ivan take a deep breath and try to think more clearly.
But then, he saw Rachel's bedroom door wide open, and Ivan felt his heart stop beating and the world started spinning so fast inside his head.
Ivan shook his head to get a little clarity on what he had just seen.
This can't be happening, right? It couldn't happen to him...
Ivan felt that all of this was too much to be true.
Because without him knowing it, his feet had brought him to step closer to the room. Rachel's room. The room where he and Rachel slept in and now he could see a man with his back to him naked, along with Rachel.
Rachel's body was wrapped in the blanket, but Ivan could see that she was wearing nothing under the blanket.
Never had Ivan felt his whole body freeze like this. He felt that he was dreaming, a very bad dream.
======================
Apple woke up when she felt Jayden's warm breath caress her neck and when she turned around, she found Jayden sleeping while hugging her.
She didn't know since when, but Jayden now had a habit of sleeping while hugging Apple and this was not just Apple's imagination.
Because if she woke up first, then she would find Jayden in this position.
"Hey, you're not going to work?" asked Apple, rubbing Jayden's head then looking at the clock on the wall that said ten in the morning. "You're late for work."
"I don't want to go to work," Jayden said, still in a sleepy voice and pulled Apple even closer. He kissed her neck and then went back to sleep.
"Is it okay if you didn't go to the office today?" Apple just wanted to make sure he didn't miss an important meeting he had scheduled for himself.
"No. But… Misha can sort that out," he mumbled again.
On the other hand, hearing this made Apple chuckle. Misha was really very patient in dealing with Jayden if he still hadn't flipped out after dealing with Jayden's fickle nature everyday like this.
"Apple…" Jayden mumbled, his eyes still closed and his head still resting on Apple's chest, while the girl fiddled with his hair absentmindedly.
"Hmm?"
"Let's go public," Jayden said out of the blue and this made Apple chuckle.
"Is that your PR team's suggestion to solve the problem with the article that concerns me?" asked Apple again in a still sleepy voice.
Apple and Jayden clearly enjoyed each other's company. Even though not many words were said and even if they had to just sit in bed all day without saying anything, it seemed like it was still better than anything.
Jayden would rather do nothing with Apple, than do everything without her.
"No, that's my suggestion and they said it was genius," Jayden said.
"I think your last statement was a bit exaggerating," Apple retorted. And hearing this made Jayden laugh too.
"But, it can't be helped, it's the truth," Jayden chuckled with his arrogance. "You admitted that yourself."
