I saw some stupid teenagers hurting two husky puppies one of them was already in a bad condition and then one of the teenagers took out a lighter. I knew what he was going to do . So I immediately took Stephen's gun from his pocket and shot that teenager's hand. I rushed to them and they all ran away i took the puppies in my arms and told Stephen go take us to the veterinary hospital. The puppies were shivering from cold so I took my jacket from the back of the car and wrapped them with it.
*Stephen's Pov*
Even though she had a rough day she still cared about others and the way she shot his hand damn that was sexy as hell. I hoped she aimed to his heart and not hand and the way she took care of the pups, it melted my heart.
*At the vet*
Melanie: I hope they're okay
Stephen:Come on beautiful let's get youhome and treat your wounds.
Melanie: No I am not leaving them here all alone by themselves.
Stephen: As you say . Do you want my jacket you're shivering.
Melanie: No, If I take your jacket you will catch cold and I don't want to you to suffer because of me and today because of me the deal was cancelled which would have made billions.
Stephen: And if you don't take my jacket then you will catch cold plus who told you that it was your fault, I am very much happy that I didn't make a deal with those a-holes and you are more important to me than any deal.
Melanie: Wha-What did you say?
Doctor: I am sorry for disturbing but I have some good news and some bad news.
Melanie: Please tell me they are okay
Doctor: They are but one of them is in a very critical condition and I don't think he will live more than 2-3 days. But the second puppy is in a very good condition and he is healing well.
Melanie: Can we please adopt both the dogs please? *I asked Stephen with a sad face*
Stephen: No.
Melanie: Please.
Stephen: No.
Melanie: Fine. I'll go talk to the doctor to know the fees.
Stephen: I'll pay it don't worry.
Melanie: "No"
I went to the doctor and talked to her about "something".
Melanie: Let's Go.
Stephen: What's with the attitude.
I gave him the silent treatment which continued till we reached home. Everyone was standing in hallway worried why it took so long for us to get home.
Stephen: EVERYONE BACK TO THEIR ROOMS.
Everyone:Yes Boss.
Stephen: Come on let's get you to your bed and treat your wounds.
Melanie: You're not coming with me.
Stephen: I didn't ask for your permission.
We went to my bedroom and then my bathroom.
Stephen: Strip.
Melanie: Oh! if you want me just say it *I giggled*
Stephen: Are you seriously making a joke of it.
Melanie: I don't have another choice do I *I rolled my eyes*
Stephen: No you don't.
I slowly took off my dress
*Stephen's POV*
Damn She looked beautiful even without that dress . i was blushing until i saw those scars which made me angry. Who in the hell dared to cause her those deep scars.
Stephen: WHO CAUSED THESE SCARS? *I screamed*
*Melanie's POV*
I was so caught up in the moment that I totally forgot about my scars.
Melanie: You are going to hurt don't you?
Stephen "I calmed down a little bit so that I don't scare her away like always".
Stephen: Princess I would never hurt please trust me. So tell me who caused you these?
Melanie: I am not ready to tell you.
Stephen: You still don't trust me enough to tell me.
Melanie: 𝐈 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 but I am just not ready to tell you Sorry!
Stephen: Whenever you're ready you can tell me and no need to apologise for it.
*He fixed me, put me to bed and then went to his bedroom*
*2 a.m in the morning*
Melanie: It's time.
I wore some kind of spy clothes and went into the kitchen and straight jumped out of its window. I stole Ilunga's car and drove to that veterinary hospital and took the puppy unfortunately the other puppy passed away I sat in my car, bought some dog supplies and went to home, I was crying on my way to home because his twin died. Turns out they were born 3 days ago. I sneaked up to my bedroom and put him to my bed. That's when I heard the door knock. i hid my pup under my blanket.It was Stephen. Did he knew that I sneaked away. he was wearing nothing but some black shorts. Damn his abs I was literally drooling.
Stephen: Belle where did you sneak off to?Melanie: I didn't sneak anywhere, I went to the kitchen to get some water.
Stephen: ok so I thought to spend my night with you.
Melanie: Wha-What. No you can't.
Stephen: I am not taking no for an answer.
He curled up in my bed.
Stephen: Come on let's sleep.
Melanie: Ok *I was sweating up from anxiety that he slept on the puppy.
I ran up to him.
Melanie: GET UP YOU SLEPT ON THE PUPPY.
He got up laughing and held the puppy up in his hands.
Melanie: Thank God the pup was safe.
Stephen: So where did this puppy come from belle?
Melanie: uh-uhhmmm
Stephen: You left alone even though after what happened today.
Melanie: I took a gun with me.
Stephen: Where did you get the gun from?
Melanie: When I was stealing Ilunga's car keys I thought to take his gun too. But how did you know I bought that puppy?
Stephen: I saw you jumping out of the kitchen window and then thought to follow you for your safety. You know it's not to safe to go alone.
Melanie: I am sorry but you just didn't let me get this puppy.
Stephen: Where's his twin?
Melanie: He died *I said in a sobbing voice*
Stephen: it's ok.
Melanie: Can we name him please please please?
Stephen: of course. What about josh ?
Melanie: NO, That name sounds like a hooker's name. What about 𝐙𝐞𝐤𝐞?
Stephen: its perfect.
Melanie: ok .
Stephen: Ok so I am going back to my bedroom. Good night beautiful.
Melanie: Wait- Can you stay the night?
Stephen: okay.
*Stephen's POV*
Shit what was I doing I shouldn't do this I am doing the same mistake i made before but something tells me to just go for it.
We both crawled up to bed with Zeke sleeping between us.
It felt such a heart warming moment. it felt perfect but I know this is the calm before the real storm, I hope I will be ready for it when that storm arrives.
