The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Soon, they arrived at the apartment Corinne shared with Xante and Aaron.
As soon as she entered the unit, Corinne curled herself up on the sofa. Having not seen her for half a year, her pet cat was so
excited that it could not stop rubbing itself against her.
Aaron went to the open-plan kitchen to get her a warm cup of milk. “Here you go, Boss,” he said as he placed it on top of the
table.
“Thanks,” said Corinne, but she did not touch it. Instead, she remained seated with Mimi curled up in her lap, lost in thought.
This was the first time Annie had been at the apartment. She started looking around, and when she saw Corinne stroking a cat,
she said worriedly, “Corinne, I don’t think it’s safe to be around an animal when you’re pregnant.”
Corinne glanced at Annie. “Who are you to tell me what to do?”
Annie was speechless. Corinne had never spoken to her like that before. ‘She must be angry at me because I’m related to Uncle
Jeremy,’ she thought.
Aaron washed up some fruit and placed them on the table before smiling and saying to Annie, “Don’t worry. The cat goes for
regular deworming at the vet, so it’s safe.”
“Oh. Okay...” said Annie with a nod.
She came to persuade Corinne to go back home, but she found herself not daring to even bring up Jeremy’s name after
Corinne’s harsh reminder.
Aaron put on some soothing music on the television before covering Corinne with a blanket. After that, he gestured to Annie with
his eyebrow and whispered, “Let’s give her some quiet time. Come with me.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay

Annie nodded and followed Aaron to where he was gesturing. However, she did not expect him to bring her into his bedroom!
She thought that room would be a study, a gym, or anything else.
When she saw the bed in the room, realization immediately dawned on her.
She felt a little lost, not knowing whether to stand or sit.

Aaron passed her a bottle of Coke. “You can sit wherever you like!”
Annie stood awkwardly after she accepted the bottle.
The only places to sit in the room were the bed and a bean bag chair. Annie thought it would not be appropriate to sit on either.
Aaron cracked open his beer and leaned on the shelf. “What? Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?” he asked with a smirk.
Annie was not happy at the insinuation. She stood up a little straighter and said angrily, “No! It’s just that I have nowhere to sit.
Mister Aaron, don’t you think it’s inappropriate for you to bring me into your room? I think we should go into another room.”
Aaron shrugged. “There’s nothing inappropriate about it since I’m not going to do anything to you.”
Annie started blushing. “I didn’t imply you were going to do anything to me. I just think it’s not appropriate for me to be in your
bedroom.”
Aaron threw his head back to gulp down his beer before walking over to her. He then leaned down and smiled at her. “It won’t be
inappropriate if no one knows you’re in here.”
Annie took a step back. “Who says no one would know? Have you forgotten Corinne is right outside?”
“Well, she’s one of us. She’s not going to tell.”
“No! That won’t do either. I... I have a boyfriend. He’ll be mad if he finds out I was in another man’s bedroom. I’m going out now!”
Annie hated how her heart would inevitably start skipping like crazy whenever she was with Aaron.
