Chapter 222 - Can I join you? (1/2)

Kris and Lena stayed outside in the balcony for another few hours. They went through more of Kris' profile. When the afternoon breeze was greeting them, Kris went back inside to grab a blanket for both of them. Lena wanted to stay outside some more.

She cuddled in with Kris on the balcony sofa. She listened to Kris tell her about his past, and where his mother took him for treatment. It was one of the very few times where Kris talked so much and openly told someone about himself.

Kris looked at Lena after a while when she stopped asking questions. He found her peacefully sleeping on him. They did not even have dinner nor ”dessert” yet and she was already sleeping.

He smiled at her sleeping cute face. He gently picked her up and carried Lena to a room. He placed her on the soft bed and completely stripped her down to put something more comfortable for her to wear.

After making sure that Lena was good, he pulled up the blanket for her and went to take a shower. He took off his clothes and got into the shower. He let the cool warm water run down his body.

Kris touched his stabbed scar for a second before letting the water continue to wash his body and cleanse him.

He stayed in the shower for a long time, just letting the water run. When he got out, he dried his hair and put on a robe.

Kris took a look at his phone and noticed a few text messages from several people. He smiled. Things seemed to be looking better in the future for him. He put some pajama pants and crawl into bed with Lena.

They were sleeping a bit early but that may just mean they can stay in bed longer the next morning. Kris pulled Lena closer to him before closing his eyes and falling into a deep slumber with her.

It was only 3 am when Lena woke up. She had a scary dream but it was nice knowing that she will wake up next to Kris. She could smell the fresh clean scent from Kris. Lena knew that she probably slept on him last night... they did not even have dinner.

Lena gently removed Kris' arm that was around her waist. She crept slowly to the bathroom. She used the toilet first then brushed her teeth. She was deciding if she should shower or not. It might be too loud and wake up Kris. In the end, she took off the clothes Kris changed her into yesterday and hopped into the large shower room.

She turned on the shower and started washing herself. She grabbed some shampoo and scrubbed her hair. She closed her eye and let the warm water rinse away the soap. She closed her eyes a few minutes longer after all the soap in her hair was gone.

When Lena opened them again, her body finally sensed the presence of Kris. He already opened the shower door and was staring at Lena.

”F*ck!” Lena screeched. ”Kris I swear you will kill me someday with a heart attack.”

Lena turned off the running water and looked at Kris who seemed still very tired. She sighed.

”Did I wake you up?” She asked but he shook his head and yawned. ”You can go back to sleep.”
