“What else do you expect?” Wendy shot back
The light in the girls‘ dormitory was soft, casting a gentle glow on her delicate face. Her skin looked so smooth, almost as if it could break with a breath. Even the fine layer of peach fuzz on her cheeks appeared glistening and
soft.
Stanley’s sharp, handsome features softened as a smile spread across his face. “Don’t you have anything to say about that night?”
That night…
Wendy hadn’t thought about that evening in a long time, but now, hearing him bring it up, the memories rushed back.
Two figures, one hard and one soft, entwined on the couch.
Sweat and pleasure intertwined, and it all ended in a burst of fireworks, filling the air with the remnants of the explosion.
He had been on top of her, calling her name.
“Wendy.”
Wendy lifted her gaze to meet his, their eyes locking. Stanley was looking at her, deeply, his gaze unwavering.
Her face, the size of a palm, flushed bright red. Because of Luna, she had thought he’d forgotten that night, but now, seeing the little reflection of herself in his eyes, she realized that he hadn’t.
He remembered, just as she did.
“I don’t want to say anything,” she muttered, trying to turn and leave.
But Stanley, tall and imposing, blocked her path.

She moved left.
He moved left with her.
She moved right.
He moved right as well.
He was playfully yet forcefully trapping her in his shadow.
Wendy glared at him, exasperated. “What are you doing?”
Stanley smirked, his voice low and teasing, “What do you want?”
Wendy didn’t understand what he meant. Was he trying to make up for what had happened that night? After all, he had poured so many resources into Luna, practically turning her into a superstar overnight, surrounded by fans and admirers.
“I don’t want anything,” Wendy said while pushing past him and trying to escape.
But Stanley’s arms snaked around her from behind, pulling her tight against him.
His lips brushed against her ear, and he whispered, “Wendy, I always thought you didn’t come that night. I didn’t know it was you.”

His large hand moved to her flat stomach, gently making circles there, his voice laced with tenderness as he said, ” You fainted after taking the morning–after pill that day. Your stomach must’ve hurt a lot, right?”
He pressed a kiss to her pale ear, then buried his face in her long hair, planting soft kisses along her neck. “I’m sorry for making you face that night alone.”
At that moment, Wendy’s heart stirred.
He said he was sorry for making her deal with that night by herself.
He asked if her stomach had hurt.
He said he thought she hadn’t come.
Stanley was truly a man who knew how to love and comfort a woman. Wendy’s fair eyes started to fill with unshed
tears.
All the frustrations and pain from these past days seemed to open up, magnified by the gentle embrace and soothing words he offered.
Stanley turned her in his arms, his strong hand guiding her waist as he pulled her to face him.
Her bright, wide eyes were now glistening with tears. Stanley cupped her face in his hands, lowering his head to kiss her lips.
Just then, a soft, ringing sound interrupted the moment. His phone.
Wendy quickly pushed him away. “Someone’s calling you.”
Stanley reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. That was when he saw the name on the screen–Jessica.
It was Jessica calling.
Stanley glanced at Wendy. She had already seen the name, and without a word, she stepped away from him.
He reluctantly answered the call, and Jessica’s voice immediately came through.
“Stanley, where are you? Are you with Wendy again? Stanley, have you forgotten what you promised me? You said you were done with Wendy. You said you’d divorce her soon. You said you wouldn’t share a bed with her again! Have you forgotten all of that?”
