Daniel was happy with her decision and they decided to stop here if they again start making out then they don't know when they will stop.

Rachel wore her strapless bra as her exposed bosom was driving him crazy, then both of them just lied on the bed hugging each other, under his comforter. Daniel was only wrapped in a towel and Rachel was wearing her bra and skirt.

​​

"You need to improve your stamina Rachel" He teased her as she got tired soon.

"Didn't I already tell you I am older than my grandpa."

Daniel laughed again, "Yeah, I'll give you a more nutritious diet to follow, it would help you gain more strength."

Rachel lifted her head and looked at him, "Am I that weak?"

"Yes, I am worried about what would happen to you when we will go all the way till the end."

Rachel became shy hearing him talking so frankly and she hid her face in his chest.

"Wow, the bold Rachel of earlier is gone."

She didn't say anything and just snuggled closer to him as in that moment she was indeed bold but after that she turns all shy and for a moment wonders if the woman earlier was really her.

Since morning she had an urge to kiss him but she didn't get an opportunity to do so, in the restaurant earlier when he shared his deep feelings for her, she was so moved she wanted to devour him whole but they were in a public place so she didn't.

After they reached his apartment she wanted to initiate intimacy but she remembered how he teased her earlier for being cute, so she decided to act sexy and seduce him but was annoyed when he was acting like a gentleman and had to boldly tell him what she wants.

As there was no reply from hers, he lifted her chin and looked into her eyes, "You don't need to be shy around me"

"Yeah but it feels weird the way I sometimes behave"

"I like it"

"You like it when I am bold?"

"I like you in every form, shy, embarrassed, cunning, bold, you name it and I'll love it."

"See this is why I turn all horny." She scoffed in frustration.

"Be whatever you want, I don't mind"

"When you talk like this I have the urge to devour you whole and eat you up."

Daniel chuckled at her words, "Sure eat me up till you are satisfied."

"Okay" she tightly hugged him and they laid like that for an hour, soon it will be dark so Daniel reluctantly had to let her go.

He made some coffee for her and cut some fruits and insisted she eat them.

"Are these to increase my stamina?" she teased him.

"Yes"

"What the fuck"

"Also because you must be tired after our umm intense activity?"

"Intense activity?" she chuckled at how he described their horniness.

"I believe in euphemisms."

Rachel loudly laughed at his choice of words and said, "Yeah, I can see that"

Daniel didn't say anything and just smiled at her.

"I love you Dan."

"Love you too" He placed a small peck on her lips.

It was time for her to leave so she insisted she take a cab but Daniel disagreed and decided to drop her at her home.

"You know I have bodyguards following me around, right?"

"Yes"

"I can ask one of them to drop me home too if not a cab."

"Yes you can but you don't need to."

"Dan"

"Please Rach no argument and discussion on this."

He was so firm with his decision there was no room for negotiation and she had to agree.

The two then headed towards her mansion, they played some light music in the car and discussed random topics. After some time they reached her mansion, Rachel insisted he come home and not leave like this.

So he too went inside and saw James waiting for them.

"Thank you for dropping Rachel safely." James understood why Daniel might have come till here all the way to drop her.

"Don't thank me grandpa, it feels so formal."

"You two had fun?" James looked naughty.

Rachel felt shy recollecting what they did earlier and slightly coughed.

"Yeah grandpa, we had a lot of fun." Daniel didn't hesitate at all and smiled gently.

No one could predict what might have happened between the two if they looked at Daniel's gentle expression.

He smirked at Rachel meaningfully and she mouthed, 'Shameless' which her grandpa didn't notice.

The three chit-chatted for some time and then Daniel bid them goodbye and left, he decided to stay at Morris Mansion for the night as it was more close from James' house than his penthouse.

Rachel came out to send him off and hugged him tightly.

"What? You are already missing me?" He too hugged her tightly.

"Yeah, my next week might be very busy, I am not sure when we will meet again."

He stroked her head, "We are not in old times, we can stay in constant touch through our phone."

"Yeah but I want to hug you like this."

"Fine I'll come to you whenever you want to hug me. Okay?"

"No I am not that unreasonable, you are a doctor, I'll adjust."

He kissed her on the forehead and promised, "Let's try to meet whenever it is possible, okay?"

She hummed and then he kissed her on the cheek and bid her goodbye and left.

...............

Jim, Leo, Megan and Zoey went back to the theater after their lunch.

Amanda too came back soon then they all signed the contract and there were some more scene wise discussions so they discussed it and they all decided to meet at 6 pm the next day, this became their fixed meeting time for weekdays and on weekends they all planned to meet at 10 am.

It was already 7 pm so they called it a day and left for their homes.

Megan was the first one to leave followed by Zoey. Jim and Leo exchanged their numbers and Jim got to know Leo's house is on Jim's way from office to theater so Jim promised to pick and drop him as Leo had no car and transportation is a problem for him as today too he came by switching different transports.

Leo had somewhere to go so he hailed a taxi and left after thanking Jimmy for his generous offer to give him a ride everyday.

Megan already left and after traveling some distance Megan's car suddenly stopped, she got down and checked the engine but couldn't figure out what exactly went wrong, her car was a second hand old car and it had already been giving her trouble, she saved some money to buy a new car but because she lended it to Ronald as he needed money because he had to pay bills which were due for many days and he also had to pay installment for his bike, she couldn't buy a new car.

Her boyfriend assured her that he will repay the money in a week as soon as he gets a role but it had been over two weeks and he didn't pay her a penny and she was too proud to ask for her own money so she was fussed when her car stopped, she knew that without a car it would be difficult for her to travel everyday.

She had no option but to seek some help. The road was deserted and it was getting dark, she was worried and wondered what she would do if no vehicle passed by her.

Just then Jim's car came in her sight, he was going the same way and when he saw her on the road he understood the situation and parked his car just behind hers.

He got down and approached her, "Hey, any problem?"

She felt glad when she saw him, "Hi, my car suddenly stopped, there is something wrong with the engine." she sounded panicked.

"Let me see" Without waiting for her permission he opened the car door and tried to start the car but there was no use, so he checked the gas and it was a full tank.

He got down from the car and went to check the engine and opened the bonnet to figure out what the problem was, after checking for a few seconds he informed her, "The engine coolant is leaking"

Megan was surprised as Jimmy immediately figured out the problem and was a bit doubtful if he was telling the truth or was just saying stuff in a fluke to impress her.

Seeing her doubtful expressions he chuckled, "Me and my family went on many long drives and as a precaution my dad taught me and my brother the basics of how to deal with the basic mechanics when there are issues with a car, he also taught us how to change the tires, so believe me I know what I am talking about."
