Unfortunately for Laura, it seemed like the world was working against her because at exactly that moment, James' phone rang completely removing him from the mood he was in before. Laura dejectedly collapsed against him making him laugh, but that did not stop him from picking up the call.

"Mmh," James answered.

"Ah, sir? I'm outside" the manager that went to go get him a set of clothing from his office said from the other side.

"Okay then, just come to the front door. When Jason is ready to come out, he'll come to take his clothes from you," James answered as he patted Laura's bare thigh to signal for her to get up.

"Okay sir, I'll be right over," the manager said before he ended the call.

"Aren't you going to get up?" James asked Laura who looked like she did not have any intentions of getting off of him.

"Just stay a bit?longer?" Laura said as if trying to coax him.

"It's not like I'm leaving. I'll just go fetch my clothes then I'll be back" James said as he tried to encourage her to get off his lap.

"Fine," Laura said with a pout but still got off his lap and went to collapse face down on her bed making James chuckle in amusement.

"I'll be coming back," James said and kissed the side of her face before walking out of the room.

Laura turned over on her bed so that?she was lying on her back and looked at the white ceiling. She couldn't help herself from remembering the kiss they just shared a few moments ago as she brought her fingers to touch her slightly swollen lips.

She didn't think she could do something so embarrassing with James, but it felt like every time they kissed, something new would appear. James had never kissed her neck as he did today, and as inexperienced as she was, she had at least watched movies.

It wasn't like she was a five-year-old girl; it was just that, she could objectively watch what was going on?on-screen but with reality, she had to struggle to even think much less objectively decide an appropriate way of responding to James.

In short, when she was with James, it all came down to instinct and because of her lack of experience, she felt like she had been passive whenever they kissed. She had tried to be more active this time, but she ended up feeling overwhelmed by it all.

But still, even though it was all new to her, she still enjoyed it. She enjoyed it enough to want to do it again. In fact, she enjoyed it enough to want to go further than they had today.

Before her thoughts could stray even further,?James came back into the room while carrying a garment bag.

"You got another set of clothes?" Laura asked, but James could still see the disappointment on her face as she asked him this.

"Yes, I asked Jason's manager to get it for me," James said and draped it over the chair in front of her vanity.

"Jason? Ah, you're talking about Daniel right?" Laura said as she was finally able to make the connection.

"Yes, I hardly use that name in private," James said as he walked towards her.

"Oh, is that so?" Laura said lightly without changing her posture. Her vision was suddenly filled with James' face as he hovered over her. Laura stared at him wide-eyed as she looked at his face that filled most of her vision. His hair fell from behind him and made a curtain that seemed to give them even more privacy.

"Ah~ James?" Laura said nervously. She wondered whether he was planning to continue from where he left off earlier.

"Mmh," James said as he buried his face in her neck.

"Wh- what, um, James?" Laura called him once more because she did not know what to say.

"I thought you wanted me to touch you," James said as he licked her clavicle making the fine hairs on her skin rise from the stimulation.

"I did, but I wasn't expecting you to suddenly-" Laura said trying to explain herself.

"You did? You don't want me to anymore?" James asked as he stopped teasing her so he could look at her face. Laura became flustered from his sudden question.

"Ah, that's not it, it's just that all of this was so sudden and, and.." Laura tried to explain but she was experiencing a rare moment of not knowing what to say.

"It's okay, "?James said with a chuckle before he leaned down and left a kiss on her lips. Laura could only dazedly stare at him as he got off of her and stare at the ceiling when he was no longer in sight.

James had just felt like teasing her and had no intentions of going any further with her as he didn't think she was ready for that level of intimacy yet since she pretty much just started learning how to kiss.

Laura sat up and looked at James who had sat back down on the sofa that faced the bed. Her gaze became more intense as she looked for the right words to say to him.

"Were you hoping for me to do something?" James asked teasingly when he saw how flustered Laura looked.

"Yes!" Laura answered honestly. She was low-key?hoping that he would?do something.

"Really? Are you sure? Aren't the girls going to come back to your room to get their things?" James asked.

"Ah, I hadn't thought that?far," Laura said as she lay back down on the bed. James laughed when he saw her frustrated appearance.

"I'll go change, then we can go back downstairs," James said as he stood up from the sofa and went to take the garment bag that had his clothes before going to the bathroom.

Laura felt like they had made progress today, but?at the same time, she couldn't help but feel like she had made a loss.
