Chapter 21: Poor Heart

**Nat**

My heart was racing. I walked into the bookstore smiling, apologizing for being late. Since I'm very punctual, I didn't get scolded, just a look from my boss.

The hours didn't pass. When it was 4:30 p.m., someone as anxious as I was entered the store to buy books.

" Can you recommend any books that can help cure insomnia?"

"It depends on the cause of your insomnia, sir. Can you tell me?"

" Oh, yes, a mixture of longing and I think of a woman who stole my heart."

I had to laugh. I covered it up by picking up some books to put in my customer's basket.

" Anything else, sir?"

" Does any book teach you how to make a girl happy in five days?"

" It depends on the girl? What kind of girl is she?"

" Well, now you got me. I think she's a little shy, but she's very sexy. She's also delicate, but she's very determined."

"Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen can help you get to know her better. But five days? I think that's too short a time to make her completely happy."

" Life is made up of happy moments, isn't that what they say?"

"Yes. Not everyone can be happy all the time. You need a lot of luck to do that. You can go to the cashier, sir."

"I'm waiting for you outside. You'll come with me to the hotel."

" I don't have any clothes to change, sir, you need to stop by my room."

" I've already bought some to get things done."

" Mat!"

" Please."

"Wait outside. I'm leaving now."

I sent a message to let Yuki know.

**Nat:**

My prince has arrived, I'm going to stay at the hotel with him.

Yuki:

I can't believe it! It's a hot night tonight! Good luck! Get his cell phone this time.

...

I laughed. I didn't even know where he lived, his last name, or even his phone number. I was really crazy. But he didn't have anything of mine either, and yet he was here.

I left the bookstore and saw him, wearing sunglasses, standing next to the car. He was gorgeous, as always. His black hair was a little longer, but it was looser than last time.

We went to the hotel. As soon as we got into the room, he started taking off my clothes and I took off his. I told him I was on the pill, so this time he didn't need to worry.

He asked me if I had gone out with anyone since he had. I said no. That the pill was just a precaution. And I asked if he had been with anyone. He said yes, unfortunately, he had been with a few women but they meant nothing to him, he was just trying to forget me and when he couldn't, he stopped trying.

I didn't want to be jealous, but I was. I understood that he was a man, that he had needs, but we women had them too. He promised me that he wouldn't be with anyone else if he was thinking about me. And I believed him.

We made love with urgency, he let out such a loud moan when he came, it seemed like he had been waiting for it all his life. It was strange, but nothing had changed between us. It seemed like we had just seen each other yesterday.

We went to take a shower together and made love there in the shower again.

I moaned his name and he growled low and loud.

" How do you do that?"

"What?"

" That growl!"

"I didn't growl, you're hearing things". — He laughed.

"I must be going crazy. I've even been hearing howls in my head."

" Howls? Tell me about that?"

"Oh, that's nonsense, I sometimes dream about a black wolf. He's big and so beautiful!"

" And is he the one howling?"

" I don't think so, I'm usually awake when I hear a howl, kind of from inside my head. At night, when I talk to the moon…"

"Have you been talking to the moon?"

" Sometimes, when I missed you. I asked if you were okay? I wished you health and success."

"Oh, Natsuke, what should I do with you?" — He hugged me.
