Ch-13
Cedric raised his brows at Eleanor. His lips had a playful smirk making her face turn red.
Ah! God! My mouth! I should control it! Eleanor reminded herself.
She coughed slightly.
"I mean..... Mmmhhh... we can share the same bed. We can keep pillows as a wall between us! I know... you are the Prince of Emerson's family, who never went through the hardships. So, we can share the bed without crossing limits," she said awkwardly.
'Well, well, you did well,' the angel version of Eleanor patted her.
'What well? Huh? She is inviting a man to her bed. And in this suit, there are only both of them. And the hotel thinks of them as a couple! Even if some entanglement happens no one will help her. Sigh... But his handsome body…. Such a pity. Elle, why not bed him?' The devil version appeared on the left side of her shoulder and said with a fangirl expression.
The Angel Version of Eleanor: "..."
Eleanor: "..."
Is she brain-damaged?
Both angel version and Eleanor shared a look and shook their heads.
Meanwhile…
Cedric saw her silly actions. He saw her shaking her head for no reason and looking at something and then making weird faces. He felt she was cute. He wanted to pinch her face.
He closed his laptop and made his way to her.
Before Eleanor could finish her battle with Devil and Angel she saw Cedric's face in front of her.
"Miss. Weird Face maker, what is going in your pretty mustard-sized brain?" Cedric asked as he pinched her nose.
She moved her face away from him.
Why does her heart beat so fast when he comes near her?
Eleanor felt his breath fanning her face. She felt her face was growing numb. Suddenly she felt she was short of breath.
She started taking mouthfuls of breaths.
Cedric saw her actions and said "Do you want me to give you CPR? I am good at the mouth-to-mouth CPR," he said playfully.
He suddenly lifted her in his hands and carried her in his arms. He placed her on the bed. And covered her with the quilt.
"Since you want to sleep with me badly. I will sleep on the couch which is in the bedroom. You can sleep on the bed.
" Even though I was pampered, I was taught to respect women and give priority to the women," Cedric said.
Eleanor froze at his words.
'Aww… he is such a gentleman?' Both the Angel and Devil from her mind came out and started fangirling.
She slapped their butts and threw them back to her head.
"Sleep! Don't fight with your invisible devils and angels in your pretty brain!" Cedric said as he chuckled.
'What!?!'
'My hubby knew my presence. I feel honored!' The Devil came out immediately and started fangirling.
But Eleanor is stumped at his words.
How does he know about her rubbish imagination?
She wanted to ask him. But seeing him sleeping with no pillow and quilt. She got up from her bed. And took a pillow and quilt.
She saw him fall asleep so fastly. She was amused at this. She lifted his head and placed a pillow under his head. And covered him with the quilt. There was only one quilt. Since she is sleeping on the bed she decided to sacrifice her quilt.
She took the AC remote and increased the AC temperature.
Only then she went to bed. She slept on the bed peacefully but she felt cold.
Meanwhile….
Cedric didn't fall asleep, he merely acted like he fell asleep. When he saw her taking care of him he felt satisfied.
'This woman is caring,' he thought.
He saw her sleeping but hovering with cold. He was amused at her. She was willing to suffer cold to give him the quilt. He smiled. He got up from his seat, he took the quilt and pillow. Cedric settled on the bed and covered both of them in the quilt. He took her into his embrace and wrapped his arms around her. He sneakily placed a kiss on her lips. And then hugged her tighter.
He felt that the smell of this woman was so enticing and refreshing. Her smell was calming his nerves. He felt that this woman was magic. Soon, without his knowledge, he fell asleep.
On the other side…
Eleanor felt a bone-chilling cold. She couldn't help but shiver. Even in her sleep, she curled into a ball. At that time, a cloth was covered over her. Even though it is not warm enough she hugged. And suddenly, a warm source engulfed her. She snuggled closer to it. She tried to hold on to it as much as possible.
_______
Next-Day….
Eleanor woke up from her sleep. She had a good night's sleep last night. She doesn't know what it was but the source of warmth helped her a lot.
And suddenly she felt something was changed. Her pillow is warm, soft, and hard. It was so good. She decided to buy one of this kind for herself too. She felt that the hotel management was so good. They even thought of small things like pillows. She will give a good review for them. She tried to search for the stickers on the pillow. After all, branded pillows will have tags. And she didn't think of this pillow as a cheap pillow. Sensing its features it must be a branded pillow. She thought. She moved her hands on it. She felt that it is broad, soft, smooth, and hard. When her hands went to the backside it's smooth and soft. It is not overly soft or overly hard.
But she couldn't find anything. Suddenly she remembered that some brands will not have tags, but symbols printed on their products in a blind spot.
She groaned and grumbled, 'This pillow maker is a selfish guy. There is no tag on this. What a pity!' Her voice is still slurry and a bit hoarse as she just woke up from her sleep.
She rubbed her face in the pillow and sniffed it. 'It has a nice smell,' she mumbled and slapped it once.
But suddenly the pillow moved and she heard a voice just next to her ear.
"Miss. This is not a pillow, but my chest. I can be your pillow if you want," a male voice sounded in her ears.
She immediately opened her eyes widely and covered her mouth as she eyed him!
God! She was thinking of buying Cedric's chest!
She has nothing left but to bury her face in her hands. Her face turned red due to embarrassment.
'Eleanor! you slept with my idol!' the devil version came out in the morning itself.
'What luck you have! If I knew this I would have slept on his chest from last night! Tsk.
Tsk... Next time inform me!' the devil said.
'Ele, how is his chest? warm? soft? comfy? hard? say something! You Stupid woman!' The Devil groaned at Eleanor for not responding.
Eleanor slapped the devil's butt and threw her into the back of her mind. She was already stumped, okay? And the devil is buzzing like a bee in her ears.
