Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 558

Shanley glanced at the girl beside him, her back turned, sleeping soundly. Then he looked down at his own uncooperative body.

"Heh." He closed his eyes, a helpless smile touching his lips. Fine. This girl really knew how to torture him.

After a long moment, Shanley got up and went to the bathroom. He turned on the faucet and stood under the cold stream for a full thirty minutes. Just when he had finally managed to cool down, he returned to the bedroom, saw the girl, and was instantly reminded of her inexplicable kisses.

Before long, the sound of the shower started up again.

...

The next day, Juniper opened her eyes and found herself looking directly into Shanley's.

"You're awake?" Shanley stroked her long hair, his deep eyes mesmerizing as he spoke in a low, husky voice. "Did you sleep well?"

"It was alright," Juniper answered earnestly, blinking.

"Good," Shanley pursed his lips, his expression tinged with a hint of grievance. "Is there anything you want to say to me?"

"Not really," Juniper said as she sat up and stretched, having completely forgotten about last night's 'assault.'

Nothing? Shanley stared at the nonchalant girl, feeling even more dejected. She didn't remember kissing him just last night? And she did it twice! Twice!

When Shanley didn't respond, Juniper finally looked up in confusion and saw his tightly pressed lips. In that instant, the memory of her 'crime' flooded back into her mind.

Ah. It seemed something did happen. She was actually just checking his health, albeit in the most direct way possible. She had no ulterior motives. But thinking about it now, it did seem a bit like a bandit preying on an innocent man. He looked so upset. Had she scared him?

"Oh," Juniper blinked after a few seconds of staring, forcing the words out. "Believe it or not, I didn't do it on purpose last night."

Although, his lips were rather nice to kiss.
