Arthur's Pov:
I can feel a cool hand touching my chest in the bright morning.
'hmm , I didn't wake up my usual time because of her . I'm tried and my stomach is paining , it's all because of her.' I thought these things while I'm still on the bed without getting up.
'HER' I frowned and opened my eyes slightly to see her'. But I didn't see her , instead there was a dark gloomy monster . Why is she dispirited all the way in the morning ?
I raised my body to sit on my pillow . I supported my chin with one of my hands and bended down to see her gloomy face. She looks like she lost her entire fortune.
"What's with gloomy face? " I asked her.
"Eek...", She startled hearing my voice and kept her hand on her chest to hold her jumping heart .
"Hmm uh?" I raised my eyebrow , so that she will tell me what it is. But she didn't open her mouth immediately. It looks like she's debating with her little brain to ask me the question.
"I don't want to beat around the bush. I Don't remember about last night . If we done anything inappropriate ; I hope you'll forgot about it." she didn't even looked into my eyes ,while saying these . What's with her talk like I took her virginity. Wait , is she thinking we done something inappropriate last night.
I would have preferred that more, than her drunken bad habits . I sighed internally. She was utter wasted after her second drink . I thought about yesterday's night .
Yesterday night:
I just wanted to tease her , because I helped her earlier ; so she has repay me by using her cute expressions. I'm excited to see her flushed face due to alcohol.
"Don't tell me you've low tolerance to alcohol ", I laughed so she would take the bait . But I think I know , she is less aware of me now ; she doesn't search the meaning behind my manipulative words. I feel quite happy to think she's getting closer to me.
"I have greater tolerance than you ", she pouted . Here she took the bait. I ordered alcohol , even it is a mild one. But she passed out in her second glass. I can see how great her alcohol tolerance is. I sighed and pick her up in bridal style to the car.
She's light as feather . Is she not eating well? I have change the nutritionist. She is snuggling into my arms comfortable . I put her gently in the car seat beside me. She's clinging to me like a child . My lips are curling up by seeing her actions.
She's frowning , I think it's not a good dream . I placed my index finger on her frown and calm her . On that day too , her eyes were filled with tears , Is she not sleeping well? Then , she said she liked my fragrance . Is she because of my cologne . I smiled again.
We arrived at the villa. I picked her up again and took her to my room . It's just I want to be with her ; if she's conscious, she'll probably kill me. I chuckled and put her in my bed and removed her heels.
My body is normally hot , so I was sweaty carrying her to my room . I took a bath and wore a robe . I came outside ; She's sitting in the bed half asleep and covering her mouth .
Wait , Don't tell me she's going to vomit. I rushed towards her to talk her to bathroom , but she thought me as a stranger and punched me in the stomach. 'Ouch' , she caught me off guard . I never expected she's this strong . While she vomited in my robe already. I rubbed my temples . I called a maid to bath her and change the clothes .
I on the other hand , bathed again.
I came out of the bath , I sent the maid out who was drying her hair. I looked at her , she looks like sober. I went near her and took the hair dryer. I blowed her hair gently . I have gained experience with my mother's hair. She had a beautiful long hair like Augusta.
"Don't you feel sleepy?" I stroked her hair . She got up suddenly from the dressing table.
"You ", she poked my chest with her index finger. "Why're so nice to me ? It's confusing me ." She said and laid her head on my chest .
Does she know I have a thing for her ? Is she aware of me now ? I smiled and put my arms around her shoulders. She's perfectly fitting into my arms.
"What is it , I'm confusing you about?" I asked her in a husky voice. Suddenly , she looked up my face and cupped my face .
"Of course , you're confusing me , it leads me to think that you really like me." her slang was like a cute child . I never expected this from her. She always gives me a blank stare or stern face. But it's a loving face which makes me to want to monopolize her.
"Don't show this look to anyone other than myself . Why are you still confused about it . Why would I be nice to you , If I didn't like you?" I kissed her on the forehead .
"I see , it's seems you really like me . Then , don't leave me ever ." she smiled and hugged me tightly. I feel eternal happiness listening her words .
"Then , What about you ? Do you like me?" I pushed her from me to look at her face . She smiled. I want to know her true feelings about me.
"I like you too, Noah", she said . My eyes widened hearing those words . I stepped back from her two steps. What I'm expecting , ha . It pains me to hear it from her. All her childness was for him , not 'ME'.
I walked and sat on the bed . I'm never going to make her drink here after. I ran my fingers through my hair . She came and sat beside me . She touched my hands . I snapped it back .
"I know , you said you loved me . But you're also the same . You'll leave me too ." she started to cry like a baby. I immediately turned towards her . I was trying to calm her , but she's pushing me away.
"Why ? Why are you crying for him ?Why 'him' , not 'Me'?" I gently wiped her tears and holded her hands with my hands and placed my head on the hands .
"Why can't you love me ? Why can't you think about me? I'll never leave you for rest of my life . So , please stay with me , love me . I'll take care of you . Please ." before I realise my eyes were filled with tears . I looked at her , she leaned forward and grabbed my face with her hands by releasing it from my hold. She kissed my tears that fell on my cheek .
I was surprised to see her actions , Is she thinking me as Noah again ? I clenched my fists .
"Don't cry , I'll never leave you . I promise," she said . I don't know who she mentioned . Was it for me or him? I looked at her , but she was already sleeping on my chest .
"You're sleeping peacefully after making me restless" , I chuckled and stroked her hair. I placed her beside me and tucked her in the quilt.
"Mister..." she said in a low voice and grabbed my hands. I was surprised she calls me now .
"Don't come to my room . You pervert" she said and slept again. What the hell is she dreaming about?. I laid beside her and closed my eyes . I can't sleep . I imagined all the possibilities of their relationships and other things , then finally I slept .
Present day :
"You're correct . You've done a big mistake ." I said and clenched my fists , by thinking she thought me as him. It angered me to death .
"You attacked me while I'm unconscious and talking about mistake", she mumbled .
"I can hear you ." I said and sighed.
"We didn't do anything Inappropriate. Don't overthink ." I said and rubbed my temples. She's stared at my bare chest .
"What , do you want to feel my chest?" I smirked.
