Stella found the situation equally strange and made a mental note.
“I’ll give Flossie a call later.”
“If you hear anything, let me know,” Miley replied, and the car lapsed into silence once more.
Matthew eventually pulled the car to a halt in front of Miley’s residence. After bidding farewell to Stella, Miley and Roy disembarked from the vehicle.
Once inside the house, Miley released Roy’s hand and informed him, “I’m going to prepare the guest room for you. You can stay there tonight.”
As she took a step to the guest room, Roy’s hand suddenly grabbed her arm.
Miley glanced down at his hold, inquiring, “What’s wrong?”
With a determined pull, Roy drew her into his embrace. He lowered his head, their noses nearly touching, and spoke intimately. “Miley, we’ve known each other for a while now. Isn’t it time for us to take the next step?”
His fingers traced her back gently, sending shivers down her spine.
Miley pushed him away with some force, her tone wary. “What are you getting at?”
Roy didn’t harbor any anger in response to Miley’s reluctance. A faint smile played on his lips as he addressed her with candid directness. “Miley, we’re a couple now. Can I have sex with you?”
To her astonishment, Roy seemed to assume it was a given. Disgust briefly flickered in her eyes as Miley patiently clarified, “Did you not catch what I mentioned earlier? I’m currently on my period, so today isn’t the ideal time.”
She gazed at Roy with an unwavering expression and continued, “Furthermore, we’ve only been together for a few days. Don’t you think we’re rushing things a bit?”
Roy, however, wasn’t willing to back down. “But you agreed to be my girlfriend after just a few days, and…”
He trailed off, arching an eyebrow as he scanned Miley from head to toe, noticing her attire. “The dress you’re wearing today is quite revealing, almost as if you’re trying to seduce me, don’t you think?”

Miley couldn’t believe her ears. Her voice lowered as she responded, “Roy, do you realize what you’re saying?”
“Miley, don’t be so conservative,” he urged, leaning in. “It’s perfectly normal for a couple to share affectionate moments. I showed great respect in front of your friend earlier. Now that we’re in the privacy of your home, can’t you indulge me?”

Miley’s perception of Roy underwent a sudden shift. The gentle and considerate man she had known just a few days ago appeared to be a mere facade, revealing a more disturbing side of his character.
Inhaling deeply, she pointed to the door and said with controlled anger, “Leave my house immediately, Roy, or I will call the police.”
Miley’s stern words sent a visible jolt through Roy.
In an instant, he extended an apology, saying, “I’m truly sorry, Miley. I had a bit too much wine at the restaurant, and I deeply regret being rude. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me this time?”
He reached out as if to embrace her, but Miley deftly sidestepped his attempt.
She maintained her vigilant gaze and pointed to the door, reiterating, “Leave.”
Roger hadn’t anticipated Miley’s unwavering determination. After a brief hesitation, he finally acquiesced and exited her home.
