"Welcome home princess" he muttered smirking. That ridiculously perfect devilish smirk. And she didn't know whether she wanted to hit him or kiss him. She opted for the former because the fact that kissing the sexy idiot even came to mind made her feel even more vexed at him.
"Are you sleeping in that?"he suddenly asked and she found herself staring at her wedding dress. Right
"I don't have a choice…I don't think my clothes got here yet" she replied
"You can wear my clothes until they arrive" he loosened his buttons on his shirt and looked away
"T-thanks…that's very nice of you" she would really like that because this corset was squeezing her organs out. he walked to his wardrobe and pulled out a black shirt then threw it in her direction. She caught it right before it hit the ground and he pointed at the direction of their washroom. She immediately walked to it while dragging her dress with her.
After some minutes she came out dressed in his shirt and he tried hard not to smirk. She dried her wet hair with a towel she found and seeing she buttoned the shirt way up to her neck he furrowed his brows. What did she think of him?.
He stood behind her and yanked the towel off her hand to help her dry her wet hair.
"I can do it myself" she protested and he turned her around to face him
"Yeah,And?" He ignored her words and continued drying her hair. She tried not to look in his eyes while he was doing that like it was a serious task. When he finished he tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and smirked at his finished work.
"Are you trying to choke yourself…I won't touch you without your permission you know" he loosened the button in her neck area and scratched the back of her neck.
"T-t-thanks" she stuttered, she hated murmuring but she couldn't help it since he was too close.
"Are you blushing?"he chuckled and she instantly threw a glare.
"I have never done that for anyone before what makes you think I would blush for you" she immediately snapped and he smiled
What an obvious lie.
She stared at the bed then back at him when she suddenly got curious about something
"Are we sharing the same bed?"she asked and he groaned loudly like she was disturbing him
"What's with the stupid question of course we -"
"I'd rather not" she cut him off harshly and another smile crept on his face
This girl loved daring him
His girl loved daring him
"Whatever you want baby" why was he suddenly flirting with her. She just brushed it off and decided not to think about it
"Thank you for understanding" she spoke and walked towards the bed to lay on it but he halted her
"What the fuck are you doing?"
"Uhn?" She seemed confused
"Why are you laying on my bed?"he furrowed his brows
"I thought you said you were going to take the couch"
"I never said that" he argued and she looked even more confused. He walked towards the bed then stood in front of her, towering her.
"If you don't want to sleep on the same bed with me you might as well take the couch while I take my bed" he bent to whisper in her ear
"That's so not gentleman like at all"she nagged and he chuckled
That was naïve of her to think he was a gentleman.
"Get up"he ordered and saw her eyes twitched before she took one of the pillows on the bed.
"Fine"she hissed and wanted to walk away but he grabbed her wrists stopping her,she turned to him to ask what he wanted but he just made a gesture with his hands for her to hand the pillow to him
"B-but you have one, two , three , four…five pillows on your bed"she counted while speaking. Why was he being so greedy.
"Five is an odd number…it's basically a bad luck" he argued again and she scoffed in disbelief
"Who gave you that stupid theory" snapped Presley
"Doesn't matter, my pillow ?" She threw the pillow on the bed and eyed him before walking to the couch to lie on it. What a selfish bastard.
After a while of both of them kept quiet and said nothing to each other. With Ze'ev on the bed and Presley on the couch with wide eyes and having no plan on sleeping at all. The silence was chokingly awkward. Both knew they weren't asleep but no one wanted to break the silence
"Why aren't you sleeping"Ze'ev finally spoke and she heaved a sigh of frustration
"None of your mother fucking business" she lazily replied
"I'm your husband so it's kinda my business that my wife isn't sleeping"
"It disgust me anytime you call me your wife"
"Says the girl who didn't want to sleep next to me because she was afraid she would give in to my seductions"Presley rolled her eyes at him spitting facts and he chuckled again
"So…tell me wife, why aren't you asleep. humans sleep at night, why aren't you asleep?"he probed for an answer
"I don't sleep, my mind has the scary capability of being dark and haunted"
"So you're afraid of your dreams?"
"Basically" she said quietly and he nodded
"What about you why aren't you sleeping?"she asked back
"Vampires don't sleep dummy, well we do rest sometimes but that must be when we have overused our energy" he explained and she immediately sat upright and faced him with an intense glare
"Then why did you make me sleep on the couch!"she argued
"Because you're annoying" he flatly replied and her lips twitched before laying back on her bed.
"Don't talk to me anymore I'm feeling sleepy" he spoke again
"Lair"
Ze'ev finally heard the sound of her heartbeat being as steady as ever, knowing she was asleep already he stood up and walked to the couch, staring at her sleeping form he sighed and picked her up then carefully placed her on the bed. Why did she look so peaceful when she was asleep.
Then suddenly,
Her eyebrows furrowed in her sleep and her heartbeat went fast like crazy. He instantly knew she was having a nightmare. He carefully watched her and saw how beads of sweat formed on her forehead, she gripped her chest in her sleep and started whimpering.
What was wrong with her?
Her eyes flew wide, startling him. She gripped her chest and started gasping for her air.
"It's okay,it's just me" he spoke caressing he hand but she started tearing up and had more trouble with breathing.
Was she …asthmatic?
"Hey,hey,hey…look at me"she was crying hard and her nose and ears got light pink in colour and he stared at her with worry in his eyes
"Breathe in"they stared into each other in the eyes and he wiped her tears with his thumb
"Breathe out" they repeated the process until she calmed down.
"Yeah, that's it I got you…I got you"he muttered and she burst into sobs.
That was hell?
He felt like his heart sank seeing her cry like she just went through hell
"C'mere" he pulled her in for a hug and she buried her face into the warm curve of his neck clinging on his shirt like she never wanted to let go.
"I'm here, it's okay.."
