Chapter 457 - So selfish (2/2)

She bent down and kissed him. ”I'm very sorry, I know I was acting stubborn. Don't brood anymore, okay?”

Rhys seemed reluctant but nodded. ”Okay, let's go back.”

...…..

When Lyn woke up she found Rhys arms still wrapped firmly around her waist. 'He didn't leave.' How peculiar. Lyn isn't used to somebody being around when she is awake. But unlike Kazuya, Rhys always stays. He doesn't rush of. Her body felt terrible and Lyn knew without looking at the mirror what her face looked like. She glanced down and spotted bandages on her arms.

He must have patched her up before sleeping. 'What a hopeless man.' Lyn carefully moved his hands away from her waist. But Rhys tightened his hold.

”Are you awake?”

”Go back to sleep Lyn, it's still early.”

”I wanted to do some studying. I won't disturb you.”

Rhys brought his lips to her neck. ”Stubborn girl, just rest already.” he trailed off. ”I know your tired Lyn. Wasn't it difficult? Today's job.”

”A little,” Lyn admitted, ”But it was nothing I hadn't done before. Rhys, what are you doing?” she noticed his hands were on her clothes. ”I don't think I got hurt there.”

”I have ulterior motives. Let me pretend to check your non existent wound.”

Lyn rolled her eyes and she shook her head. ”Don't.”

Rhys frowned and sighed. ”Why did you drag me out of that place if we can't do anything fun?” he moved away from her and turned away. Lyn looked at his back for a few minutes before she buried her face there. ”What are you doing?”

”I'm very uneasy and afraid. The more time passes by the more scared I become. I won't be able to avoid things I have been this entire time.”

”Yeah.”

Lyn laughed weakly, ”Will you do me a favour Rhys?”

”What is it?”

”If you think it's too much for me. Please decide for me, and take me away from here. I don't want to fall apart in front of so many people. So please promise me this.”

”You're so selfish Lyn.”

”Yes.”

Rhys turned around and caressed her face. He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. ”I can do that for you. I'm conflicted though, I want you to fall apart now so I can take you away. Aren't you afraid I will decide randomly based on my emotions?”

”There is a chance for that to happen.”

”Then, why would you do this..?”
