CHAPTER 43: SPENDING TIME TOGETHER

Water flowed from the tap into a cup. When it was almost full, Chloe switched off the tap. She normally drank bottled water, but the dispenser and the fridge was broken, so she had no other choice.

’At least they didn’t break the cup,’ she thought as she gulped the water down.

She wasn’t satisfied, so she started refilling it immediately.

"You must be really dehydrated," Yohan commented as he entered the kitchen.

"I wa–" Chloe turned and kept her eyes on him. He was still fully naked, while she had already put her clothes back on. The contrast felt strange, and yet he seemed unbothered.

"Yohan, aren’t you going to put on your clothes?" she asked, unable to keep herself from staring at the serpent that hung so casually between his legs.

He walked up to her and grabbed the glass from her hand, fetching some water for himself. With his gaze averted for a few seconds, Chloe was able to observe his full body. Every single part of it looked like it was sculpted perfectly, with a slender, muscular frame.

’Was it always like this?’ she wondered, finding it hard to believe.

"Yohan, did you start working out?" she asked, using one finger to poke at his chiseled torso.

He took the final gulp. "Not yet, but I plan to."

"Then what happened to you?" she asked, confused.

"I went back in time and drank a magical potion."

"Huh?" Her face showed further confusion.

"I’m serious," he said with an indifferent expression.

"Stop kidding around. I’m just... curious. How did you change so much? It was as if it happened overnight. One morning you came in and everything was suddenly different. Just tell me your secret."

"I honestly don’t know what else to tell you." His tone was calm, but looking at his face almost felt like he was telling the truth.

"Fine. If you don’t want to tell me, then don’t. I’m going home."

Yohan grabbed her hand. "Wait, Chloe. Why are you going home so soon? We can still go a few more times."

He tugged at her clothes and wrapped his arms around her from behind. She could feel his cock pressed against her, even though it was soft.

"Don’t you want to spend some more time with me?" he whispered, his voice carrying the same pleasure he had already made her feel. The sound tempted her to just say yes.

"I can’t," she murmured. "I’m supposed to pick up something for my sister at the market before it gets too late."

Even as she spoke, she knew the truth, that if Yohan insisted, she would gladly let him take her again, as much as he wanted.

But after a few seconds Yohan sighed and let her go, "okay then, it can’t be helped... can I come along?"

"You... want to come with me?" She asked, a bit surprised.

"Yeah, why not. This way we could spend some time together, just let me quickly put on my clothes,"

As they walked down the busy evening street, Chloe could hardly understand why Yohan wanted to spend sometime with her. All this while she had thought he was simply using her for sex, but now he was here simply just strolling with her.

"Yohan, why did you want to come with me?" She finally asked.

"What kind of question is that? You are the one that said it was fine, you could have told me if you didn’t want me around,"

"That’s not what I meant, I mean you said you wanted to spend time with me, why?"

"Oh... because I like spending time with you, there’s no other reason," Yohan said casually, almost as if his words carried no deeper meaning, but for Chloe it was anything but that...

’He likes spending time with me?!’ her eyes lit up like fireworks were going inside her heart.

"Although I prefer to do it with our clothes off," he gave her ass a small squeeze.

"Hah... Yohan we are in public," her eyes darted around nervously, and her face flushed pink

"and so? I don’t need anyone’s permission to touch you," he said smoothly, before putting his hands around her waist and pulling her close.

To Chloe the scene felt like one straight from a romance drama, it was like they were a real couple.

"I like spending time with you too," she said softly.

To her this was the same as them confessing their love for each other but for Yohan he honestly was just telling the truth. During this period he had very few friends, since all of them had gone on to college and were living their best life.

He would remain cooped up in his room, or at the shop. Spending time with a pretty girl like Chloe was a privilege he couldn’t enjoy in his past life so he enjoyed every moment of it.

They hadn’t walked too far before they ran into someone unexpected

"Mia?" Chloe called out the girl wearing a red T-shirt and a blue short.

"Chloe... and Yohan," her tone dipped as she noticed Yohan standing beside her.

Her eyes fell on the hand Yohan had wrapped around Chloe’s waist.

"Where are you guys headed, on a date?"

They both realized how it looked and separated immediately,

"No, no it’s nothing like that, we are just going to buy somethings," Chloe said frantically.

"Yeah, this isn’t a date. We are just hanging out,"

"Hmm, is that so?" She wore a small smile but her tone remained indifferent.

"Okay then have fun," she added before leaving.

"Why did she seem so off today?" Chloe mumbled,

"I don’t know," Yohan replied, he was also thinking the same thing.

"Maybe you could ask her tomorrow when she comes to work,"

....

The next day Yohan opened the front door at the shop and found a letter on the ground.

He opened it and read.

Then at the end his eyes widened, and his heart dropped

"Mia is quitting?"
