Closing the door behind him with a click, he lead Tiffany over to the kitchen before pulling out the stool at the island and ushered for her to a sit down. 

 

"I'll make you something to drink, how's coffee?"

 

"Good thanks"

 

She watched as this new man, who had only hours before, not even existed in her world, went about grabbing the mugs from the cupboard. She couldn't help but admire the calm look on his face. She definitely couldn't deny the charm and aura that seemed to revolve around him. The moment was almost picturesque. Not pop art.. More of a delicate and soft image. His facial features left her in awe. The way they had their slight imperfect points made him more perfect. 

 

Clink clink

 

Stirring the coffee, he tapped the teaspoons twice on the rim of the mug before placing them in the sink and turned around to pass his guest a drink. 

 

"It's certainly hot here in the day but it definitely cools by night"

 

"Yeah.."

 

"How is it?"

 

Taking a sip, she gazed at the man who seemed like a child, eager to hear her answer.

 

"It's really good"

 

"Thank you! It took me a long time to perfect it"

 

His grin left her heart skipping beats. She frowned at this thought. Why was it doing that. She both enjoyed and disliked the warm, fuzzy feeling that she felt inside. Was it the coffee? Whatever the feeling was, it left her out of her comfort zone. 

 

"See, after I started working, coffee's become my best friend. It's a little sad really.. To name a drink as my best friend.." He chuckled. 

 

"We've been through a lot of rough nights together"

 

She couldn't help but let a smile wrap on her face at this man's silly words. 

 

The rest of the night was spent in a long discussion. They were both comfortable with one another. It was strange. A feeling that they'd met before arose for both of them. Or maybe it was just because of the fact they were both strangers in a foreign country. 

 

An hour later or perhaps two, Nichkhun had found himself to be the only one making conversation. He haas completely lost track of the time. It was already hours past midnight yet there were no signs of his friends. Glancing over to the sleeping girl sat beside him, he smiled. He'd never seen someone sleep after drinking coffee. He swore that caffeine was a stimulant... Didn't that mean she should be feeling more energised? Yet there she was.. Snoring away. Probably dreaming about fairies and pixie dust or abs.. Whatever girls dreamt about. 

 

He went into his room to fetch his duvet and began to tuck her in. Being this close to her, he began to realise the true beauty of the girl before him. She definitely didn't need the make up that she wore on her face. He was glad she wasn't too generous with it. Atleast she still looked natural enough unlike some girls did. He fought hard to bite back the temptation to remove the hair from her face but it wasn't enough. Leaning in, he gently placed a finger, barely touching her skin. He could feel her warm breath against his now, bright red cheeks. The heat in his ears was phenomenal. Brushing her hair aside, he stood up just in time to hear the laughter down the hallway. Fumbling, he stumbled in an attempt to 'act casual'. 

 

When his friends appeared in the room, they were met with Nichkhun watching the tv with the girl, Tiffany, laying on the sofa, fast asleep. 

 

"How was it? Find any inspiration?" 

 

His friends chuckled as they entered the apartment. 

 

"Shut up.."

 

Nichkhun had noticed the sly smiles and mockery his friends were emitting. 

 

"Oh are the girls here?"

 

"Yeah.. We just said bye a second ago.. Did you know that they are staying next door.. Well I guess you do.."

 

Chansung said eyeing the girl who was fast asleep. 

 

"Shush.."

 

Nichkhun stood up and turned around, scratching his head. He now faced the problem of getting Tiffany back to her apartment without waking her. 

 

Finally, he bent down and picked her up, still wrapped in his duvet. She was much lighter than he had initially thought. He carried her just as he'd seen in those cheesy dramas. Taecyeon and Chansung helped him hold open the door. 

 

He knocked on the door with his foot and was careful to maintain his balance. When the two girls met him at the door, they led him over to the bedroom. He lay her on the bed very carefully before turning to leave. 

 

"Don't you want your duvet?"

 

"No it's okay, I don't want to wake her. We were already successful getting her here"

 

"Okay.."

 

"Sleep well" 

 

He smiled before leaving the girls to rest up. 

 

Nichkhun spent that night hugging himself for warmth on the sofa. He had been sneezing and coughing all the while. Had someone left open a window? Why was it so cold? So maybe he hadn't got his duvet but still.. Surely it couldn't be that cold in Spain! He'd been up for what seemed like hours. He was sure that Chansung and Taecyeon were both fast asleep. Tiptoeing towards the AC, he smirked knowing the source of his problem. Pushing the off button, he cursed himself as he heard the BEEEEP of the machine shutting itself down. He glanced over at his two friends. For once, the fact his friends were heavy sleepers, actually came in handy. 

 

Returning to the sofa, he picked up his jacket and slept the rest of the night, using it as a replacement for his duvet.
