The True Heir

Sleeping Together

"I'm sorry for the cold attitude he gave to you but I just wanted to use you as an excuse to get rid of him!"

Roland couldn't believe his ears, she did use him to get rid of the man.

The way the man left obediently even after getting slapped was uncalled for.

Katherine, on the other hand, was sorry for using Roland as an excuse.

Roland just gave her a wry smile. "It's fine, since you've already apologized who I'm I to judge?"

The lass was all smiles. "Thanks, Roland, would you like to have a sit in my house?" Katherine offered. She contemplated if he'll refuse her or not.

"Sure! I'd like to know where you're residing." Roland gave her a reassuring smile and they both left for Katherine's house.

Unknown to them, the man that Katherine had sent away was hiding in a corner, watching them from afar as his eyes were fixed on Roland.

He gave him a death glare with anger and envy clouding his heart. He became furious and walked away from his hiding place.

When they both arrived at Katherine's house both of them have each other an awkward look.

Katherine shyly hid her face from Roland as she ran her finger through her hair. Roland couldn't believe that he was in the house of his childhood crush.

"Welcome to my humble home!" She smiled sweetly at h and led him to her sitting room, offering him a sit. "Would you like to have a drink with me?"

Roland couldn't say no so he nodded in agreement. He began to compare Katherine and his unworthy girlfriend in his head.

He concluded that Debbie was no better person than Katherine.

Thinking about what Debbie did to him made his heart ache, he didn't know when Katherine came in with a tray in her hand containing two empty glasses and a bottle of wine.

Roland read the wine's label and saw that the wine is alcoholic. And has 70% of alcohol in it.

"You sure know how to drink alcohol, don't you?" Roland asked smiling sweetly at her.

"You underestimate me too much, I'm not the same Kath from high school," Katherine said as she pour some wine into each glass.

"Cheers to our reunion!" They both clink their glasses cheering for their old days and their reunion once again as friends.

"Drink but don't get drunk," Roland warned.

"I bet you can't keep up with my drunk state." They both laughed hilariously over her words as they enjoyed a joyful chitchat together.

"I've been meeting with the other of our high school friends; Nicole, Oliver, and Rosa," Katherine informed happily.

"It's been a long time. I bet Oliver is happy with his wife now. I long heard from them after he got married to Zelda."

Roland didn't say anything much concerning the issue as he missed his old friends and would like it if they had a reunion party like old times.

A few minutes later, Katherine became tipsy. Roland teased her with her words.

"Thought you got a hundred percent tolerance for alcohol. Why are you feeling tipsy now?" Roland couldn't hold back his laughter.

He found her attitude quite funny. She looks so cute while she is drunk.

"You...You... Don't underestimate me!" Katherine shutters as she made certain hiccup sounds.

"I'll take you to your room, show me the way." He realized she was too drunk to even know the way to her room so he decided to figure it out himself.

He removed the glass of wine from her hand and placed it on the tray before carrying her in his arms in a bridal style.

She only had a room so he knew it must be her room so he placed her on the bed.

With her arms still on his neck, she pulled him and he landed on top of her.

"Don't go!" He heard her say.

Roland found the situation unconscious because she was drunk and didn't know what she was doing. He tried leaving for the second time and ended up getting the same reply.

So he succumbed to her requested and stayed beside her on the bed and they both fell asleep in no time.

The following day, Katherine woke up to find herself lying on top of a masculine chest and arms wrapped around her waist.

She raised her head but a banging headache struck her and at that moment, Roland woke up.

He was surprised to see both of them lying together in each other's embrace. Maybe he was drunk too.

When their eyes met, they were both embarrassed and got up from the bed at the same time.

Fortunately for them, their clothes were still intact so they didn't do anything intimate.

Silence filled the room and there was an awkward moment between them.

Roland left her room and she followed him from behind.

"I'll see you some other time then!" He said once they both got to the exit door.

"Sure!" She responded shyly. After waking up in each other's embrace, She didn't know how to face him anymore.

"Make sure you take some hangover pills." Roland reminded before turning to leave but he was halted by her words.

"Do you have a place to go?" Her question was uncalled for. Roland gazed at her with a questioning look.

"Don't get me wrong, I saw you in the middle of nowhere yesterday, so I thought maybe...."She bit her lips nervously. " Well forget about it!"

Roland chuckled at her childish act. It wasn't wrong for her to think like that because he certainly looked like a homeless person.

"I have to meet with an important person today!" Roland informed her.

"Oh...I'll have to go to work as well." Katherine's cheeks flushed red with embarrassment. It was clear that she didn't know how to face him.

"Dong forget to rest and take some hangover pills." Roland reminded and she nodded in approval.

"How about I host a classmate reunion party? I'd like to see you there if I eventually host one." Katherine smiled as she informed him.

"Sure!"

"Pinky swear?" She brought out her little finger for him to entwine his with hers.

Roland laughed at her childish act.

"Pinky swear!" He made a promise that he was sure to fulfill it. He waved her goodbye and left her house with a smile on his face.
