She slowly let him fall on the bed and then, she carefully lifted his heavy long legs onto the bed. It took all her strength just to lift those muscular legs on the bed.
Once the man was finally lying on the bed comfortably, Abi stared down at his peaceful sleeping face. This was first time she ever saw this man sleep. For all this time that she was with him, even those nights when they slept in the same bed, she never saw him fall asleep before her or wake up later than her.
So this was such an unexpected surprise. Alex, suddenly falling asleep like this was really rare. She briefly wondered what he did today for him to be so exhausted and then her mind reminded her of what happened not too long ago and she blushed again. Did that exhaust him? Thank goodness he was asleep otherwise he would definitely know what she was thinking right then. But now that she thought about it, he called that as her punishment? She was confused. She didn't understand where was the punishment there because all she felt when he was doing those to her was…
Abi shook her head again, trying to free her mind of these naughty images and reverted her attention back to him.
Watching his dreamy face, Abi then moved and laid down next to him. He was lying close to the edge of the bed so she tried pulling him towards the middle but it was no use. It was impossible for her little strength to move him even an inch. Gladly, the sleeping Alex turned to his side, facing her.
Abi smiled that he seemed to be a little obedient in his sleep. She stared at his face again. He was so peaceful. Like a harmless jellyfish floating in the deep ocean. He looked really beautiful and harmless but just like the jellyfish, he was meant to only be admired from far away because of the poison it carried.
But Abi didn't mind. She wasn't going to be scared of his poison anymore, no matter how deadly it was.
With a smile on her face, she stroked his hair softly and watched his sleeping face. Then, she kissed his forehead gently. She then placed herself down on the bed, lifted his arm and wiggled her way into his embrace with her back on his chest, before placing his arm over her waist, as she too drifted into a dreamless sleep.
…
When Abi woke up, Alex was no longer beside her on the bed. She was afraid that the man had gone again so she quickly got changed and headed downstairs.
She saw that no one was in the living room so she hastily walked towards the dining hall.
Gladly, everyone was there. A smile immediately carved on her face as she approached the table, greeting them all a cheery good morning.
Alex looked at her as she sat down.
”Your cold?” he asked and instead of responding, Abi took his hand and placed it on her forehead.
”It's gone, Alex. The medicine you gave me is very effective,” she happily told him.
Xavier wasn't around so their meal was unusually silent.
”Uhm… there's going to be a performance today of a play that Kelly and I produced. It will be played by the children from the orphanage where I am working. It starts at three this afternoon. I'd like to invite you guys to come and watch.” Abi's face was shining with excitement as she invited them.
