Liam opened the door to the room as he let Wura walk in first, and Wura sighed internally, this was horrible. Wura looked around and she sighed in relief when she saw a couch, at least she could sleep there.
"Are you alright Lily? You are awfully quiet" said Liam as Wura turned to look at him and she shook her head.
"No, I am fine, we should go to sleep now" said Wura as she really wanted to get this night all over and done with already.
"You are right" said Liam as he nodded his head and he lit some candles as Wura looked at him.
"Alright, so you can take the bed, and I can sleep on the couch" said Wura.
"And why is that?" asked Liam as he looked at her.
"Well because you can take the bed, you need to be comfortable" said Wura as she did not want Liam getting hurt or something, she wanted him to be safe.
"I do not think that it is right for me to sleep on the bed, while you sleep on that small couch" said Liam.
"Well I do think that it is perfectly fine" said Wura as she did not want to argue with him.
"You can take the bed and I will sleep on the couch" said Liam as Wura shook her head.
"No, no, you are still recovering, so you need to take the bed" said Wura as Liam shook his head, he did not agree with her, not at all.
"Liam, I am not going to argue with you on this, it is totally unnecessary" said Wura as she sighed and she shook her head.
"And I do not want to argue with you as well Lily" said Liam.
"Then just let me sleep on the couch" said Wura as she wanted to stay as far away from him as possible, she did not want to feel embarrassed again like the last time.
"Alright then, if you sleep on the couch, I will sleep on the floor" said Liam as if Wura was not going to take the bed then neither of them would.
"What, no, you cannot sleep on the floor, it will be cold down there" said Wura as she shook her head.
"Well if you are not sleeping on the bed, then I am not sleeping on it as well, there is no point of having the bed then" said Liam.
"Liam, think logically, the floor is dirty, do not even dare try that" said Wura.
"Well it is up to you Lily, if you do not sleep on the bed, then I will sleep on the couch" said Liam as he did not look like he was going to change his mind at all.
"Oh you are so stubborn Liam" said Wura as she frowned.
"And you are even more stubborn than I am" said Liam as Wura groaned, she knew that he was not joking at all, he would actually sleep on the ground, she did not want him to do that at all.
Liam and Wura both looked at each other, Wura was so angry at him right now, why did he always have to refute her? She was just trying to look out for him, the silence just grew louder between them as they kept on waiting for the other to break, but neither of them were going to.
"Fine you know what Liam, fine, I just do not want you sleeping on the floor, you have to sleep on the bed" said Wura as she scoffed.
"If you ask me to do that, then you have to sleep on the bed as well" said Liam.
"That was not part of the deal" said Wura.
"Are we not making the deal right now?" asked Liam as Wura scoffed.
"You are annoying Liam, nothing but annoying" said Wura.
"I only need a yes or a no Lily, it is getting late" said Liam.
"Why are we arguing over a bed?" asked Wura as she realized that this entire thing was stupid.
"Because you are making a big deal out of a bed, it is just a bed, people are meant to sleep on a bed and not on couches" said Liam as Wura sighed.
"You know what fine, fine Liam, we can both sleep on the bed, provided that you stay very, very far away from me" said Wura.
"That will not be a problem, as long as you do the same Lily" said Liam as Wura scoffed and she removed her leather boots as she took the blankets off the bed and she used them to set a partition between the two sides of the bed.
"This is my side, that is your side, no crossing over" said Wura as she took the right side of the bed.
"Alright" said Liam as Wura got on the bed and she looked very far away from Liam, she was upset with him, very upset for him insisting when he should not have at all.
Liam did not say anything as he got on his own side of the bed.
"Goodnight Lily" said Liam.
"You have a bad night Liam" said Wura as Liam shook his head and he scoffed he could not believe this at all, he did not know that Wura could be so selfish.
Wura looked very angry on the outside, but on the inside, she was so scared, she did not like how close she was to Liam at all on the same bed, sure they were married, but they had never shared a room together before, and when they were forced to, Liam would leave his room for her, but now, she had no choice than to be forced to stay with him in one room.
"Just calm down Wura, calm down, Liam will not touch you, and you will not touch him, we just have to stay as far away from him as possible… yes, we can do that, no moving" said Wura to herself as she sighed.
"Besides, Liam is not the type of man to take advantage of a woman, I know him…" said Wura to herself as she sighed once again and she closed her eyes, she was sure that Liam was not asleep yet, and she was not asleep as well.
There they were together in the dark room, that had no light except for one candle, she hated the silence, she could hear him breathing, she wanted to apologize for wishing him a bad night, she did not want him to have a bad night at all, but then again, she was supposed to be angry with him, and oh she would be, she would not speak at all, in fact, she was going to make sure that she did not fall asleep, how could she when her heart was beating so fast?
Liam knew that Wura was still awake, and he wanted to apologize to her, but she was angry with him, and he doubted that she would want to hear him out, so he decided to just leave her be as he closed his eyes and he took a deep breath.
Wura did not know when she had fallen asleep, but she had, and she was deeply asleep, so much so that she started to move around and wriggle around for warmth as she groaned, and she ended up moving to the far left, where she found Liam and she held him tightly as she continued to sleep satisfied with the warmth that she got from him.
…
Liam opened his eyes as he was surprised, he rubbed his eyes, he did not know that he would actually be able to sleep, so what he thought was right.
Liam looked down when he noticed that he was being held by a certain little someone, and he could not help but smile when he saw Wura hugging him in her sleep, she was still sleeping very deeply.
Liam sighed, so he was actually right… for the past days now, he had been unable to sleep, not without getting dreams about his wife which were blurry, he noticed that he was only at peace the first time that Wura slept in his room the first time with him, at first he thought that maybe it was only a coincidence, but the next day he could not sleep, and the day after that as well.
So ever since then, he wanted to test if it was a coincidence that he was able to sleep when he was with Wura, so he decided to spend more time with her, and still yet he could not sleep, but when they were together like this, he just slept so peacefully.
Liam looked at Wura as he touched her hair, he did not know why she had this kind of effect on him, he knew that he was wrong, she was married, and so was he, and yet, he did not know if he liked her at not.
The feeling that he got when he was with her could not compare to anything else, even if they were arguing or laughing, he just loved being with her.
Liam knew that this was different, it was different from when he was with Darla, he put boundaries between him and Darla, but with Wura, he could not put any boundaries, he just could not at all, he could not even try to.
Liam did not know what to think at all, he did not know what to do, he knew that this was wrong, he was betraying his wife, but he could not help but think about things that he could not understand.
But no, he knew that what he was thinking could not be true at all, Wura could not be his wife, the woman that he saw in his dreams had very bright blonde hair.
Liam looked at Wura, she had golden brown curly hair, his wife had straight blonde hair and a wonderful smile on her face, even though Wura always had an equally beautiful smile on her face, his wife had sky blue eyes, and Wura had light brown eyes, so he was sure that he was mistaken.
But the sense of peace that he got when he was around her could make him lose his mind, he was torn on what to do, and he did not want to hurt anyone, especially Wura.
Liam sighed as he gently removed Wura's hands away from him, before she woke up and felt even worse than before, so he carefully carried her back to her own side of the bed as she was still sleeping peacefully, he placed her on the bed as he made the partition again with the blankets and he walked back to his side of the bed as he sighed and he closed his eyes he was trying to think, he really needed to think.
