Slowly she fell asleep not thinking that he's gonna hurt her or shout at her for doing what she did.
It was seven in the evening and she was asleep.
Someone walked slowly and elegantly to the side of the bed where she laid on his favorite side of the bed.
He looked at her for some seconds, leaned in closer to her. Her calm, pretty and steady breath caught his attention but only for a minute.
He picked up the cushion beside her, raising it up high, he used it to smack her on the face.
She instantly woke up from her sleep. She tried sitting up, with the slight spinning of her head because of the hit.
She sat up and he smacked her back down. She fell back to the bed and slowly came up.
She knew well it was because of what she had done earlier but she didn't expect him to get back at her during her sleeping hours.
" I'm sorry", she apologized quickly to get back to her sleep. He stuffed the pillow in her face and pushed her head back to the bed.
'Is he going to suffocate me?'. This action is life threatening especially because she couldn't breathe but he released her before she could run out of breath.
" Why would you eavesdrop on my conversation with him, what do you want to hear?".
She already heard what she wanted to hear which only left her with a question who is Nyla but she didn't know if to ask him.
"Who is Nyla?" She never battled with mind. She asked without having eye contact with him.
"Why would you want to know?". He asked her back. Realizing her question is more domineering in this converse so he chose to answer her.
" I told you earlier that you needed a chat with Mrs Alana and Mr Gael". She wondered why he addressed his parents that way.
" And I told me you will eventually find out. Turns out, you did find out on your own by eavesdropping. Nyla is my girlfriend".
That hurt her. The fact that she is single in the courtship and he isn't already feels like he is cheating on her like a husband cheats on his wife.
Some part of her is grateful because she would use this as an advantage to break off this courtship and be with her beloved, Mr Aiden's last son.
"I don't really care". She snorted. " I expected it so.... But I was bound to find out and you hurt me for knowing the truth of your misdeed".
His eyes roamed round the room. She's right, they alas settled on her.
"Hey!", he shouted. "If you wanted to know the truth I would have told you, you didn't have to find out that way".
"I don't care Azai". Hearing his name from her mouth came as a surprise. " I will get back at you, if not for anything but for the fact that you ruined my sleep".
"You can still get back to it can't you". He really can't assume what kind of torment she would give to him.
"I can't". She sniffed in some air. "Anyways you still have to eat dinner, I wouldn't call you twice so I'm calling you now. Let's go". He held her hand
"Wait, Why are you calling me out for dinner?". She asked with a raised brow never intending to get up from the bed because he said so.
He threw her hand back to the bed and got up. "Better". she murmured to herself.
"Wait!" she shouted to halt his step. He looked back at her, "How long are you going to change that window couch?".
He ignored her question and walked out of the room silently. She stood up and followed after him.
When they got downstairs, she wasn't interested in the dinner served. "Just salad".
Before she could take the first step back upstairs, she heard her name, It was the head servant.
"Miss Ava. Do you not like your dinner?". Azai turned to look at her. She was an elder and she didn't want to burden her with her choices beside she had exceeded her stay here.
" I never said I didn't, I just need to wash my face". "But why?", the head servant asked.
"She just woke up that's why. I'll be waiting for you on the table". Azai politely spoke.
Why is he acting like this. His actions towards her were becoming very unpredictable. She ran upstairs to go wash her face. When she was done, she came down only to realize that he actually waited for her.
"Sit down", he stretched his hand indicating for her to sit because since she arrived she could only stare at him.
" I couldn't help but notice that you were breathtaking by me. I hope you're okay?". He said with a slight grin on his face.
She rubbed her face harshly looking at him. "Who could be here". She murmured. She turned around only to see that the head servant was still present and smiling at the both of them.
"Wow, now that's why". "You should sit down now and have something to eat, he covered up her voice with his giving her a stern gaze.
There she caught him, she smirked and walked to the chair with their eyes fixated on each other with what one could call love but it wasn't.
They were only a black heart to each other.
"I'll take my leave now. Take care of yourselves". " I'll walk you to the door", she offered the old lady.
"Sure". She stood up from the chair heading to the door with Mrs Gia, the head servant.
"Bye...." She said to her before shutting the door. Her face scrunched up with a dark gaze which she sent to Azai.
Without looking at her, knowing her actions. "Don't give me that look", he said taking a sit but quickly stood up relaxing on his right leg.
