Jonathan slowly straightened up and opened his eyes , but instead of getting out , he leaned over Teresa , lowered the seat , and pressed Teresa down beneath him .
Teresa said , “ What are you doing ? ”
Teresa struggled beneath him , but Jonathan grabbed her wrist , brushed her cheek , and bit her neck .
Jonathan said in a muffled voice , “ Come on , just one more time , like the time when we got divorced . ”
Teresa said , “ No , get off me . ” She was so worried he might accidentally hit her stomach .
Jonathan said , “ Just one more time , please . ” His voice was low . Under the influence of alcohol , he begged . His voice was ringing in her ear .
Jonathan said , “ That night , in Jarisburg , I was drunk and you had sex with me . Just one more time , okay ? I am really leaving this time . ”
Teresa said , “ It is different now . You are drunk . I am not . We can’t keep doing it . ”
Teresa tried to break free from him but failed . She felt his breath , and his hand slipped easily under her thin summer shirt .
He always knew how to turn her on . Just as things were about to go too far , Teresa grabbed Jonathan’s restless hand , her breath a little ragged .
She said , “ Next time . I’m not doing it with a drunk man . ”
Jonathan said , “ When’s next time ? ”
Teresa said offhandedly , “ When you’re sober . ” She knew he’d forget all about this by the next morning anyway .
Jonathan said , “ Alright . ”
Jonathan finally released her . As soon as he got out of the car , Teresa reversed the car and sped off , catching a glimpse of him opening the door in her
rearview mirror .
After thinking about it for a moment , Teresa texted Donald : [ Your cousin’s drunk . He’s at Jadeleaf Apartment . ]
She didn’t bother saying anything else . She knew Donald wouldn’t just leave Jonathan there .
But the next second , Donald called her . Teresa picked up her phone but heard Jennifer’s voice .
Jennifer asked , “ Teresa , are you with Jonathan again ? Why are you being so reckless ? He already said if you went back to Nareigh , he wouldn’t bother
you anymore . ”
Teresa said , “ Hannah , are you reading his messages again ? Even though he’s your boyfriend , this is too much . ”
Jennifer said , “ He doesn’t care if I read his messages . If a man really loves you , he won’t keep secrets from you. ”
Teresa said , “ Secrets and privacy are different . ” She knew exactly what Hannah was like – Hannah was a pro at this . Teresa didn’t want to argue about it
anymore .
Teresa said , “ You two are asking for it . I’ve got nothing to say about it anyway . But I’m not like you . I’m not going to spoil you the way he does .”
After that , Teresa hung up the phone and then she noticed the new voice message from Miriam . ”
Miriam : [ Teresa , Eddie and I are thinking about staying at a hotel tonight . He says he misses me ! How about this ? The two of us go back and Eddi at your place . ]
Young couples were always together . Teresa understood it . Miriam and Eddie had only been dating for a couple of months and were still in the

honeymoon phase .
Teresa sent her a voice message : [ Miriam , I’m heading home . Let’s not have Eddie come over . ]
Miriam replied : [ Alright . Wait for me ! I’ll be back tomorrow . Gotta run ! ]
After Teresa arrived home , she called Benny again .
Benny was always reliable . He said , “ I dropped off the lucky sachet you gave me at Jonathan’s place . He is asleep on the couch , so I’ll move him to his bed in a bit . ”
Teresa replied , “ Okay , take care of him . ”
“ Oh , by the way, ” Benny asked , “ when are you two heading back to Nareigh ? I really need to get going . I got a ton of things waiting for me , Why don’t ! take Michael with me ? I can drive him back to Nareigh . ”
Teresa asked , “ Why would I trust him to you ? ”
Benny laughed , “ Come on , a single woman taking care of a little boy who’s not even your own ? It’s awkward sometimes , right ? -when he needs a bath or something like that . Just let me take care of him . I promise I’ll take good care of him . ”
Teresa knew exactly what Benny was up to .
But if she turned Benny down right away , he would definitely get even more suspicious .
