The next day.

Joshua was sitting in Noah\'s office as he waited for the man to come back from his meeting. Noah had to attend a meeting with the executives at the last moment as there were some changes to be made in the hotel inauguration schedule. The hotel was the biggest and most magnificent hotel built by the Carter Enterprise in the country and Noah was making sure that everything was perfect. He did not want even a minute thing to go wrong as this hotel was one of his highly anticipated projects. 

Since he was already in the meeting when Joshua dropped by, he could do nothing but to ask his friend to wait for him. Having no other choice, Joshua could only follow suit and wait for him in his office. Tired and bored, Joshua had picked up Noah\'s laptop and started working on it as he too had a deadline to meet. 

His fast fingers stopped suddenly when he remembered something that had transpired between him and Ivy the previous day. He remembered that they had cuddled all through the evening after dinner. However, the most interesting part happened when they were about to go to sleep. He had followed Ivy till her room and before he could take a step inside, Ivy stopped him right at the door.

"What are you doing?" Ivy folded her hands and leaned against the door, raising an eyebrow.

"I want to sleep."

"Then go to your room."

"This is my room."

"Since when?"

"Since the day this house was built." Joshua shrugged as though he was stating the fact.

"Oh, is it? I didn\'t know that. Thank you for telling me."

"You are welcome. Now, move. I am very sleepy today and I have an important meeting tomorrow morning. I don\'t wish to be late." Joshua lightly pushed Ivy such that there was space for him to squeeze inside, but not hard enough to hurt her. He then jumped on the bed like a cat and lied down and patted the space beside him.

"What are you waiting for over there? Come here, your boyfriend is over here. Or, are you going to stand the entire night and wait for the sun to rise?"

"Are you my boyfriend now?" Ivy asked with an innocent expression, but her eyes were shining in mischief.

"Am I not? Then, what am I?"

"I don\'t know. You tell me what you are to me."

"Let me think." Joshua pretended as though he was thinking seriously while he glimpsed at Ivy, who was still standing by the doorway.

"I think I am your darling, your sweetheart, your love, or even better your man. Am I right?" Ivy\'s heart hammered in her chest hearing his words and she blushed a magnificent glow of red. Even her neck had become red. Joshua saw her shy expression and his smile reached his ears.

"I think you got your answers. Now, come. Let\'s sleep."

"You know what?" Ivy started and Joshua narrowed his eyes to see what tricks she had in mind now. "I was thinking of sleeping in your room. It is bigger than mine and it is more beautiful and cozy. So, you sleep here while I\'ll sleep there."

"You naughty girl," Joshua remarked with a devilish smirk. "When did you peep through the door and look into my room?"

"I am not sure. Maybe when I was sleepwalking."

"Do you have the habit of sleepwalking?" Joshua asked perplexed, with his eyes wide and jaws dropped.

"Yes. Sometimes, I even carry a knife intending to kill anyone who comes in my way at that time. Even Aria is scared of me when I am sleeping. So, she always locks her room to protect herself from me. You never know which door would be opened by me and who would be at the receiving end of my knife. It\'s better to be safe than sorry."

Joshua gulped unknowingly. But when he saw the diablerie in her eyes he realized that she was trying to pull his leg all the while. He smiled at her flabbergasting her. "Hmm. Then from now on, I\'ll remember to keep the door open whenever I am sleeping. Who wouldn\'t want to get killed by a beautiful woman? It is a dream come true. On a second thought," Joshua paused suddenly. "I don\'t think it\'s necessary. I will be sleeping in the same room as you. So, it\'s fine."

Ivy stared at him in shock. \'What was this man even talking about? Who is sleeping with whom? Me and him, in the same room? No way.\'

"Aren\'t you scared?" She asked after some time.

"About what?"

"About me hurting you with a knife."

"Should I be?"

"I guess," Ivy asked confused.

Joshua chuckled seeing her cute expression and he got off the bed. He padded towards her slowly until he was right in front of her. Ivy had to crane her neck to meet his eyes as he was too close to her.

"There is nothing to be scared of. If you try to attack me then," Joshua clasped both her hands in his and held them tight. He then pushed her lightly until her back was pressed to the wall. "I\'ll do this and hold you tight so that you will not leave me or hurt me. How is the idea? Ain\'t it awesome?"

Ivy was so lost in his deep and gorgeous eyes that she did not hear a thing he had said. So, she first nodded and shook her head and then nodded again. She then furrowed her eyebrows when she realized what she had done. Seeing her adorable face, Joshua laughed out loud. It was not a meager chuckle but a sincere laugh that reverberated through the room. Ivy was once again starstruck by his deep and sexy laugh. It was very manly and just the sound of it made her feel tingles in her stomach.

Seeing her in a daze, Joshua pulled her toward the bed startling her.

"What are you doing?" Ivy asked trying to free her hand.

"Umm, thinking of sleeping."

"As I said, I want to sleep on your bed."

"Is it? Are you sure?" Joshua questioned, his eyes shining brighter than the stars.

"Yes. Give me a second. Let me brush my teeth." Ivy pulled away from his grasp and went to the bathroom. After ten minutes, she came out to find Joshua standing beside the door waiting for her.

"Shall we go?"

Ivy nodded and just when Joshua stepped out of the room, she rushed like a maniac and closed the door with a bang. She did not forget to latch it lest the wolf of a man should try to come in again.

Hearing the sudden bang, Joshua turned back and saw the door closed. Only then did he realize what had happened. Ivy had tricked him.

"Ivy, this is not fair." He yelled as he banged on the door.

"What is?"

"Ivy, open the door."

"No. The door is not opening today. So, go back to your room and sleep. Good night darliiiiiingggg." Ivy purposely dragged on the darling much to Joshua\'s dismay.

Joshua knew now he could not do anything. So, he relentlessly went back to his room. But he made a promise that he would get back at her first in the morning. But the time never came. By the time Joshua came down to have breakfast, Ivy had already left the house with a note for him on the table.

\'Good morning. How was your sleep? I hope you had a good sleep. Mine was awesome as I did not have a following puppy to disturb me. Have a good day. See you in the evening.\'

Joshua huffed reading the note and he made a note to take care of her at any costs later that day. 

Joshua, who right now was in Noah\'s cabin, laughed out loud on remembering those events. And right at this moment, Noah walked in.

"What is so funny that you laughing this loudly? Tell me I\'ll join you too."
