Chapter Thirty - Six : I Can Make Our Married Life Exciting (1/2)
Note : Steamy scene ahead
Nik's POV
I awoke to total darkness and instinctively rose from the bed only for my sight to be attracted on a figure sitting opposite from me, but I relaxed knowing she could never hurt me - she could not even hurt a fly. But her penetrative and accusing gaze seem to scald me as I unconsciously looked away.
”How long have I being out?” I asked rubbing my eyes to remove the sleep which surprisingly was still in my eyes .
”Ten hours or so, I can't tell but you were sleeping so peacefully I couldn't bear to wake you ” She answered but I couldn't help but dictate a hint of sneer in her voice
”You could've killed me ” I accused but knew inwardly it wasn't possible . It would take more than a punch to end my life, it was obvious I buckled under the stress and sleeplessness of this week.
Moreover, for such strange reasons I always feel comfortable whenever I'm beside her even my insomnia can't stand a chance with her.
”I know the strength of my punch, I'm not stupid enough to kill the World richest bachelor and become a wanted criminal- Dead or alive ” She answered grudgingly confirming my suspicion she was angry at me, as if her previous kind and cheerful demeanor was a figment of my own imagination.
”What's wrong? ”I asked with a little hesitation wondering where I went wrong this time.
God, I can never understand women!
(A/N: How can you understand someone created while you were in a deep sleep *biblical reference:The creation )
”Oh , I think you should know what's wrong Nik?” She asked, with her arms folded across her chest and a million dollar frown .
”Details please ” I groaned, feeling a headache coming
”Why do you want me around Isabelle?” Maya began her interruption, the usual bulging vein on her face threatening to burst.
She scoffed much to my dismay ” What am I? Ten? Stupid? ”
My brows creased from confusion, has she found out everything ? Did she finally figure out the whole plot?
”Don't take me for an idiot, Nik ” She warned, a resolute one at that.The warning was definitive as if saying, one wrong answer and you're toasted .
I breathed deeply giving up at once, it was obvious whether I confess or not, each answer held grevious consequence and you can never tell what's going on in the mind of a woman or what trap I'll fall into next.They're such a complex creature
”I want you to turn her human ”
There was a long silence after that short confession .The silence was so deafening that one could feel the tension and storm brewing without being told.
”I knew it” She gasped ”I'm indeed the collateral damage ”
”What? ”
”While dragging me into your family war, have you thought about my safety first ?” She threw at me and stood up in anger.
”Nothing's going to happen to you ” I assured her and stood up from the bed with the intention of gathering her into my arm.
”Really? As if you care, you say this but I bet when push comes to shove I'll be discarded like a rag! ” She screamed right at my face leaving me stunned
I watched her in astonishment,even though she was yelling at me but I didn't feel the least angry, if anything I was glad that I was the one to ignite such emotions in her which totally wasn't my style.
I was never the one to be yelled at by anyone born of a woman but when I was being cursed at by her, all I could think of was how cute she looks flustered .
If anything I tuned out her screams and curses and focused my gaze on the way her succulent pink lips moved.
It was so alluring that I felt the need to kiss them swollen but I knew in this current situation, there wasn't any way I would achieve that without receiving a slap on my cheek - more likely a punch, the girl's a gangster.
”Are you even listening to me? ”She asked agigatedly, when she couldn't provoke a response from me
I looked at her with a smile calmly replying ”Are you done talking so I can explain to you?”
My words left her speechless as she repeatedly failed to come up with a word to refute me.
I let out a smug smile while I felt her surrender but she was quick to rebuke me
”Don't think you've won already ”
”Fine, just hear me out” I raised my hand in surrender but my smug expression still remained the same.
I turned to face her eye to eye making sure to notice every expression on her face as my explanation began
”I've never planned to drag you into any war, I just want you to be a mother to Isabelle. Isabelle is apathetic and aloof and I'm afraid if she continues that way, she'll be a danger to others and herself in the future especially in this line of business , it has the ability to turn someone into a monster ”
”And I'm some Doctor? please get a therapist ” She mocked aloud.
”The fact Isabelle likes you is totally unexpected, surprising and comforting, which means you're her weakness at the moment and only you has the ability to make her more human ”
”She sure shows her likeness in a strange way” she murmured absentmindedly not noticing how close we were already .
