Well, what's done is done.
Whether it was a spur-of-the-moment thing, or something that just felt right at the time, the deed was laid out plain for all to see.
Felicity eyed him, and he just didn't seem like he was spinning a yarn.

"Do you even hear yourself right now?" She was this close to questioning her own comprehension skills! It was her who ended up in bed, and now she's supposed to take responsibility? Miles took a deep breath, laying out the thoughts he'd rehearsed before coming over.
"I know you're gonna shootdown, say we're not a good fit, or...that you're already seeing Calvin or something. But I've thought it over, really thought it through. And I just can't shake it—you're the one for me." || || "After coming back from Anglonia, you're all I think about. Every tI close my eyes, there you are. Ended up in the ER from drinking too much, and waking up to see Abigail crying her eyes out-that's when I decided to stop letting everyone worry. So, I forced myself back to work, buried in software and coding. I even avoided asking Mr. Turner anything about you!" The past couple of months had been a struggle for Miles, "Felicity, if this keeps up, I'm gonna lose my mind." After dropping Felicity back at the K&J Mansion, he couldn't catch a wink of sleep.
But he held off coming over until now, instead of first thing in the morning, because Miles wanted to be sure.
Whether he should swallow his pride and ask her-again- Tossing aside all thoughts of right and wrong, even if she was with Calvin, he had to try one more time. Felicity's feelings were complicated.
She felt a twinge of guilt, having never fully explained things, allowing him to believe the fault lay with him. "Langston, do you think I turned you down because of that day you went to the hospital to see Esther?" "...Didn't you?" Miles thought he hadn't done anything too out of line.
"It's not about that." Felicity's face becserious, "Maybe initially, that incident played a part, but later on, Esther had nothing to do with it. After giving it sthought, I just felt Calvin was a better match for me."

Honestly.
He might have taken it as her not meaning what she said.

"But last night—" "It's fine, I'm not holding it against you." She was surprisingly magnanimous, waving it off, "As long as Calvin doesn't find out, we'll pretend it never happened." Content belongs to en.kikistories|| II Felicity hadn't expected that coming back hwould entangle her with him all over again.
Especially after their last breakup, which seemed so final, with both of them going their separate ways.
"Langston?" When he didn't seem ready to leave, Felicity gently prodded him.
After all, this was usually the moment when he should storm off, right? Instead, Miles stepped closer, grabbing her wrist.
"No, you need to break it off with Calvin, at least for this month." "Why?" "Because last night, I didn't take any...precautions." He admitted to a sinister thought, deliberately acting as he did.
Thinking if Felicity ended up pregnant, he'd have a legitimate reason to insist on marriage! So, a few times, Miles didn't bother with protection, not pulling out either.
