She had finished reading after an hour,which was more than the usual time she would have taken to finish studying but it was all worth it to avoid Daniel's glare. However,2 hours passed and she was just flipping the pages in boredom. She was done a long time ago. But how could she tell Daniel that she was done reading a book with over 2 thousand pages? Therefore she chose to keep quiet and pretended to read.
Daniel looked up and saw her bored expression as she aimlessly flipped the page. He sighed helplessly. It wasn't like he was going to force her but he really wanted her to do something for herself. Even if she decided not to attend school or she fails he'll still be there to support her.
"It's getting late,let's go to bed"Daniel's voice sounded like a ray of hope to Rory.
"Yes,yes"she quickly agreed.
"Lazy"Daniel scoffed at her. Rory just giggled happily.
She packed the book to one side and got ready to leave.
"Aren't you coming?"She turned around and asked Daniel. Daniel fell silent at her question. He has been busy since their marriage so he spent most of his time in the study and slept there. Coincidentally,he was done with some of his work. The problem wasn't his work but he was actually worried about spending the night with Rory. They were husband and wife so it was inevitable for them not to share a room with each other and that was the reason why he had buried his head in his work.
Rory was super cute and adorable. But this was only in her face. Her body was sexy. She had wide hips and flesh in the right places. Her body was simply alluring and seductive.
Nonetheless,Rory was as pure as a dove so she couldn't have any illicit thoughts. So in the end he agreed.
.....
They both slept on both sides of the bed. However,Rory didn't fall asleep. She was turning and tossing on the bed. Daniel finally noticed her discomfort and turned to her and asked,"Not feeling sleepy?"She nodded.
"Do you want me to read you a bedtime story?"He asked teasing her.
But Rory didn't take it as a joke and immediately jumped with excitement.
"Really?,you'll read me a bedtime story?!"
Daniel was only joking and he wanted to say so,but he stopped when he saw the excited look on her face. He just didn't have the heart to refuse her.
"Hmm"Daniel hummed. "What story do you wanna read?"He asked her. Rory didn't know any bedtime story so she replied,"You pick".He stood up from the bed,went to the bookshelf and picked out a book.
"How about Harry Potter?"
"What's Harry Potter?"Rory asked him.
So there was actually someone in this world that hasn't read Harry Potter. Even he that didn't like these stories,had read Harry Potter. His lips twitched her question. He couldn't blame her for not knowing such things. If it wasn't for her terrible family,she should have gone to school and read Harry Potter. Thinking this,Daniel made a promise in his heart to always make her happy and let her have the best of life.
....
Daniel started reading the story. With every chapter he read,she was getting intrigued.
"You are not reading it well,bring it!"She said displeased after an hour of reading.
"What do you mean by am not reading it well?"He questioned her while eyeing her.
"You are reading like a robot. There's no life in what you are reading!"She added reasonably. She snatched the book away from his hands and stared reading it herself.
One hour later.
"Now you are just adding to many effects"Daniel criticized.
"What nonsense are you spouting?! As long as I am reading it better than you,I am reading it well". She argued back.
Daniel rolled his eyes and took the book away from her. He continued to read.
One hour later.
"Harry Potter says,'Its time to sleep'". Daniel said to her. He was tired of reading. She was always complaining of one thing or the other.
"Harry never said that!"She refuted.
"Yes Harry never said,but Daniel is saying it"He retorted. Shouldn't she has slept by now?
Rory pouted and whined,"Just one more chapter please?And I'll go to bed"
"No"
"Please?"
"No"
After pleading and still getting negative responses from Daniel,she finally gave up and went to bed.
Rory had slept and she looked peaceful. Who wouldn't be? When the bed was so soft and silky.
Unlike Rory,Daniel couldn't sleep. Rory wrapped her legs around Daniel's,like a snake. His chest magically became pillow and her arms were also wrapped around him. It wouldn't have been a problem,if Rory wasn't strangling him. Her grip on him was so tight. He even came up with a nickname for her.
"She is so cute yet has a strong grip. I think the name Koala does justice to her"Daniel thought in his mind.
He even thought, that she would get uncomfortable and change positions, unfortunately she didn't and still remained in that position till day break.
Poor Daniel.
....
The next morning,Rory arrived at school with her bag hanging over shoulders. Her blue eyes shown brightly even in the sunlight. Her lips that looked slightly red was curled up and her black hair was curled at the tips and flowed down her shoulders. She looked stunning. The sunlight reflected on her,adding emphasis to her already perfect features. People couldn't help but stare at her.
Today was the much anticipated test. Most students would be nervous and have bags under their eyes because of studying overnight. Rory didn't look anything like that. Her face was as calm as the seas. She didn't seem worried in the slightest. Infact,she was in a good mood this morning because of her good night sleep. She couldn't be least concerned about the test.
However,this test was going to be the starting point of taking everything that belonged to her. She was no longer the gullible girl she used to be. It was clearly visible. Her aura was now different.
"I didn't actually think you'll come! After all,today is the test day!"Rory heard an irritating voice.
