Sweet Sorrow

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
The whole night, Jacob was very excited. As if he had taken medicine to repeatedly drive Nicole on the verge of collapse.
In the end, if Nicole hadn't cried herself hoarse, Jacob would have to continue.
In the middle of the night, Jacob took Nicole to the bathroom and took a shower. They made love in the bathroom for a while,
and then they went back to bed together, falling asleep. She should go back home early in the morning.
Nicole was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes, but she managed to cheer herself up. She found her cell phone and
held it in her arms when the alarm clock buzzed.
She fell asleep as soon as she finished the thing.
When she woke up again, she was woken up by the vibration of the alarm clock in her arms.
Going back home early kept running in her mind. Nicole was sleepy for a while. She turned off the alarm and crept to bed.
Jacob suddenly turned over and let out a soft sweet noise. Nicole was so scared that her limbs were stiff and she dared not
move.
She stood where she was for a moment and felt relieved when she made sure that Jacob was still in sleep and didn't wake up.
In the dim light, Nicole found her clothes in the messy clothes scattered on the ground. To her surprise, they were torn into
shreds and she could not wear them at all.
Although Nicole also brought another set of clothes for changing, she was still a little unwilling that the clothes were torn.
Nicole took her clothes and handbags to the bathroom. She quickly changed her clothes in case of waking up Jacob. She wiped
her face and walked out of the bedroom tiptoeing.
She thought no one would get up at this time, but to her surprise, the servants had already been preparing breakfast when she
went downstairs.
"Good morning, miss."
Afraid of waking up Jacob, Nicole gave him a hush and asked in a low voice, "good morning. Did the driver get up?"

"He is up. Please wait for a moment, my lady. I'll ask him to come here."
"Thank you."
Nicole planned to hail a taxi at the place where there were cars on foot, but now it seemed that she could still be sent away by
the driver.
"Miss Du, are you looking for me." The driver bent down slightly and was very respectful to Nicole.
Nicole showed an embarrassed expression. "Sorry, are you busy now? Can you drive me home?"
The driver glanced at the direction of the bedroom on the second floor and did not immediately agree.
Nicole knew that the driver was thinking about Jacob. She immediately explained, "Jacob is still sleeping. He was exhausted last
night. Just let him have more rest."
"Okay, I'll drive you home." The driver seemed to understand something and immediately agreed.
After getting on the car, Nicole realized slowly that it was ambiguous with what she said to the driver.
Last night.... Tired
Nicole blushed while she was still thinking about it.
For a moment, she felt that she got infected by Jacob that she stared to think that thing all the time which people wouldn't think
in. For another moment, she also thought that what she said was indeed quite ambiguous. She would be laughed by the maids
After she had a while of thinking and sighing, the car was drove to the entrance of the community.
"Miss Du, here we are."
"Okay, thank you."
Nicole thanked to the driver and got off the car.
At that time, the sky was still gray, and there were few people on the road, only the stall that was selling breakfast was lit up with
an orange light.
Nicole took a deep breath of fresh air and bought some hot buns and porridge. She hummed a tune and went home.

When she had just changed her shoes and put the breakfast on the table, Jim opened his room.
"Sister?" Jim unzipped his school uniform and looked at Nicole in confusion.
"You can go to school after breakfast, Jim." Nicole went back to the kitchen and got a dish for vinegar.
Putting down his schoolbag and eating obediently, Jim raised his head and asked Nicole in a low voice, "sister, did you go out to
see your boyfriend last night?"
Nicole almost choked on the porridge when she heard this.
"How do you know?" Nicole asked with her eyes wide open.
"Here you are," Jim pointed at the position of her collarbone. "Here are some red spots."
Nicole hurriedly got up and went to the dressing mirror by the door. She looked at her collarbone in the mirror.
As expected, there was hickey on her neck.
"Sis, is it called... called... called hickey ?" Gritting his steamed bun, Jim walked up to Nicole and asked seriously.
Nicole's face turned red. She glared at Jim and shouted, "where did you learn these nonsenses from? They are talking
nonsense. You should pay attention to your study!"
Jim made a face and sat back to have his breakfast.
Nicole was angry that she failed to set a good example for her brother. She went back to her bedroom to change clothes.
Meanwhile, she cursed in her mind, 'damn it! How could such an obvious hickey be left in such an obvious place? She started to
blame Jacob. If Jim hadn't noticed it, I would have been exposed in front of mom!'!
Nicole wore a half collar short sleeved T-shirt which covered the marks though looked a little old.
After checking herself in the mirror to make sure that no traces were left, she went out of the toilet.
"Sister, I'm going to school now." Having finished eating the porridge, Jim put on his schoolbag and squatted at the porch to
change his shoes.

"Go to school and study hard. Don't have any bad ideas, okay?" Nicole scolded him with a straight face.
"Don't worry. I won't tell mom about this." Jim made a face and run away happily.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"What are you hiding from me?" Her mother's voice echoed behind Nicole.
Nicole was startled. She turned around and laughed. "Nothing. I was just joking with him. Mother, you got up so early."
"Well, get up and have a glass of water. You don't have to work. Why do you get up so early in the morning? You can go to
sleep."
"Okay."
Afraid that her mother would find something wrong, Nicole rushed into the bedroom.
After she got into bed and tucked herself in, Nicole found her body sore and aching, especially at her waist. She felt too weak to
move.
'Jacob, what a bastard.
I've told him, don't come again, and don't come any more. Such a beast!'
Nicole complained in her mind and fell asleep.
She didn't wake up until the noon. When she woke up, Judy had already prepared the lunch.
"Nicole, wash your face and come to have dinner. By the way, your phone is ringing all the time. I did answer it for you." Judy
said casually after setting up the tableware.
Nicole was wide awake when she heard that. She screamed and looked at her mom nervously, "who was it?"
