Her heart immediately ceased beating, it was frozen as if it was stopped by time. She fell side-right over him. Her eyes bulged out in shock. Thank God she had not done what was on her mind.
If he was awake then? What would he have thought? How would she have explained the situation? What excuse would she have given! Her mind was frantic right now.
She was astounded.
"Ten minutes. Just stay this way for ten minutes." She heard his raspy morning voice say, with his eyes still closed and his body unmoving.
And it wasn't a command this time. It was a….plea?
"Since when did you wake?" She queried softly.
Hoping he had not noticed anything awkward because strangely he always manages to predict her mind and actions. Could he tell she wanted leaving the bed? She blinked innocently, awaiting his response.
