Chapter 157: Does your girlfriend have a figure like mine?
When I woke up the next day, Aaron was already out of bed. I heard the sound of running water from the bathroom.
It didn’t take long for the sound to stop, and the bath- room door was pushed open. A freshly clean Aaron dried his hair with a towel as he walked toward me. “Morning, babe! How did you sleep last night?”
I grumbled. “I think I would’ve slept better if you hadn’t messed around.”
He ignored my complaint and leaned over me to plant a kiss on my cheek. “Get ready, we need to buy some camping stuff later.”
“I was in the middle of getting up.” I got out of bed and noticed Aaron staring at me. I looked down to find myself bare, except for Aaron’s h*ckeys dotting my skin.
His habits in bed were absolutely awful. It was like he was a dog marking his territory. I had no clue how his previous lovers put up with him.
I glared at Aaron in disgust, and he rubbed his nose. “I’ll go make you some coffee.”
I hopped in the bathroom for a quick shower. When I was done, Aaron was already standing in the doorway, waiting for me. He had a hairdryer in his hands. “Come here, I’ll dry your hair for you!”
Fantastic!
I said thank you, took the towel off of my head, and walked over. I perched on the stool in front of the vanity and looked at my blazing red hair in the mirror. It was wet and
clumped together, but it slowly separated into distinct, flow- ing locks as Aaron dried it.
He patiently combed every strand of my hair with his fin- ger, as if he was handling the most precious treasure in the world.
I watched him silently as he stared at my hair. At this mo- ment, I thought I was the happiest woman in the world.
Once he finished, he arranged my hair so that it flowed down my shoulders like a river of lava and embraced me from behind. He smiled at me through the mirror and spoke in a wistful tone. “Babe, you’re so good for me in bed. Next time we do it in front of the mirror, you should watch yourself so you can see how beautiful you are, okay?”

Aaron was a handsome man who was capable of accom- plishing anything. Why did he have to have such a dirty mouth? He could instantly ruin a perfect atmosphere with a single sentence!
I was so angry that I glared at him, shoved him away, and stomped toward the door. “Aren’t we going shopping? Then let’s go!”
“Haha,” he laughed from behind me. He caught up to me in two long strides before grasping my hand and walking by my side.
Last night we were so busy that we didn’t even notice it was snowing outside.
The tiny s*owflakes floated down from overhead. Some found their way past my collar and onto my skin. I shuttered from the cold.
Aaron paused before stepping in front of me. He wrapped me in his down jacket and placed his wide-brimmed hat atop my head.
“No, I look like a dumb penguin,” I protested, moving to take off the hat.
My hands were stopped by Aaron, who kissed my palm and said, “Well, good thing I like dumb penguins.”
“…” This idiot.
I saw his loving expression and decided to compromise. Okay, I can look like a dumb penguin just for today.
The streets of the town were much more crowded than they had been the last couple of days, and the mall was packed as well. It was probably because of the beautiful snow. The mall had a lively atmosphere lighting up its crowded halls.
When the atmosphere is lively, it’s in a woman’s nature to buy even more things. Without noticing, I had filled Aaron’s arms with bags upon bags of things.
“Are you tired?” I felt a little guilty walking around with nothing in my hands. I wanted to share the burden a little.
He smiled and shook his head. “Nope, I still have enough energy to play with you tonight…”
My d*mned sympathy! I should never have asked him! I gritted my teeth and glared at him before turning around and burrowing into the crowd.
“Where are we headed next?” He caught up to me with just a few steps, stopping in front of me.
I gestured toward a coffee shop in front of me. “I’m gonna get a hot cocoa. Do you want one?”
