At Grey Mansion.

  Evening came, and Liam also joined his family in Jorge's villa. He was glad to see how well Jorge had decorated the entire place. Jorge was also easily able to handle all the house by himself.

  As always, Jorge's ability highly impressed Liam. They all had great food and video-called Lana also who was very thrilled to see the entire family together at Jorge's new house. They all toasted for Jorge and drank together, and later everyone went to their respective rooms after dinner. Jorge first escorted Miley to her room, then their father and Liam in the last.

  Liam stopped Jorge and asked him about his future plans and when he would be ready to take up his business in his hands and let Miley have a breather. Jorge chuckled and said, "Bro, isn't it better if Miley always be in charge of the business and let me keep helping you in the law firm? Actually, I want to marry her first, then I will think about giving her some free time."

  Liam raised his brows and looked at him with contempt. "Just so you do not forget, it will be me and Lana who will have the grand wedding first, not you and Miley." he scorned at Jorge.

  Jorge couldn't help but smile widely and said, "Agreed. But the maximum waiting period will be nine months and… if Miley agreed, you will not be a hurdle in our civil marriage."

  Liam pursed his lips and looked at Jorge with squinted eyes and said, "Someone has grown guts to bargain with me… alright, I will let you go for a civil marriage… IF… and only if… Miley readily agrees."

  Jorge shook his head seeing the haughty air of Liam and hugged his friend and brother he cared for a lot. Liam then went inside his room and Jorge headed to his own bedroom.

  This was his first night in the Villa and he was glad father was supportive and thoughtful enough to stay overnight and not leave him alone. His heart raced thinking Miley was sleeping just one room away from him. His naughty heart wanted to be a little more brave, but he knew that would not be the right thing to do, so he opened the door to his room and entered there.

  **

  Miley felt a little gloomy inside her room as she wanted Jorge to stay with her. She then looked around the cozy room. It was already good as new since Jorge made sure it should look like a modern mansion after renovation. She sighed and looked around at the spacious room decorated beautifully according to her liking. She was filled with love and warmth when she felt the care Jorge showed to her and how her likes were his preference every time.

  She shook her head when she noticed that Jorge had copied almost every detail of her own room in their mansion, in this room. The pastel colors of the wall-paint, including the interior design and beddings.

  Everything was to her taste and yet she didn't want to sleep in this room alone, ever. She wanted to feel her life with Jorge more closely now, and even though she kept on saying things about delaying their marriage, she wished to be some closer to him now.

  She beamed at the thought that came to her mind and decided to execute her plan once her father and Liam were settled into their rooms to avoid getting caught by either of them. Even Jorge wouldn't expect such a thing from her. She naughtily smiled and went inside the bathroom to freshen up and change into her sleeping dress before she started with her plan.

  After she dressed up, dried and brushed her hair, she opened her door and peeked outside. Seeing the hallway was clear, with Liam and father nowhere to be seen, she walked out of her room to go walk to Jorge's room. As usual, she did not knock on his door but directly entered his room like she owned it.

  She saw Jorge sitting at the side of his bed with his back facing the door of the room, looking at something intently.

  "If father found out you are sneaking into my room in the middle of the night like this… He won't like it, Miley." Jorge scolded without even looking towards her, as if he was waiting for her to arrive.

  Miley frowned, hearing his words, and locked the door. She walked towards him with a grin. She sat beside him and asked, "How did you know it's me in the room without even looking back. It could also be father or brother instead of me you know."

  Jorge looked at her and rolled his eyes as he snorted, "You're the only person who is allowed to be audacious enough to never knock before entering my room Miley…"

  "Hmm, I can rightfully be that audacious and would allow no one else to have this right." Miley lightly whispered while hooking her arm with his and resting her head on his shoulder. She noticed Jorge held something in his hands and saw that he was looking at the old pictures of his family.

  He was staring at the photo of her mother and father together. "You look more like your mother." Miley commented as she looked at the album Jorge was scanning. Jorge smiled and said, "Yeah, I guess so. Not so manly, huh?"

  Miley chuckled and said, "I love your soft facial features. It reminds me of the flower boy next door in movies."

  Miley then comfortably laid her body on Jorge's bed. She watched Jorge put back the album in his drawer. He then turned at her with furrowed eyebrows as he repeated, "You are not planning to sleep here tonight. Are you?" Miley smiled widely and nodded her head on his question and Jorge widened his eyes in disbelief and immediately said, "You shouldn't stay here Miley, what if father or Liam came to know about it? Your brother will definitely kill me! Go back to your room."

  Miley ignored him, and instead she grabbed his hand and pulled him on the bed. Jorge sat on the side of the bed and looked at her in disbelief.

  "Whatever, come here and hug me to sleep. I miss your cuddling like when we are kids. It's been ages since you have cuddled me to bed. How come we can't do it anymore. Let's sleep together tonight." she childishly scoffed. She wanted to sleep with him on the same bed, cuddling him all night.

  "Miley come on, go back to your room. We are not kids anymore, but big enough to not behave like kids. You know I can't sleep with you on the same bed…… because I will end up doing so much more than cuddling you, I swear," Jorge sincerely raised his concern. He was on the verge of losing his last threads of control for Miley.

  It was already becoming harder and harder for him to control himself whenever Miley was near him. Her presence and every action had a deep impact on his body, and it was too much to handle. If Miley would sleep with him like that, he swore… he won't be able to keep his hands from touching her and do more than what should be done.
