"Done showering?"
She looked around and saw the only person she knows here, Nicolas.
He was looking at her with unreadable eyes and she realized that she has successfully gotten under his skin again in less than 24 hours.
Once, she made him angry and now, his eyes were grey with lust. She ended up remembering the scene from earlier.
"I noticed rain and wanted to shower in the rain. I really love it and even after trying so hard to control myself, I couldn't and ended up listening to what my heart was saying," she said innocently while batting her eyelashes.
She was trying to see how far she can push him before he finally decides that it's his limit and explodes.
"You love the nature a lot, don't you?" He asked in a normal tone and she was surprised. She was expecting him to get angry at her but his reaction was anything but angry.
It's more like his heart melted after watching her innocent eyes.
She nodded her head. She really really loved the nature.
"How about we take out one hour from our everyday routine to stay in the nature? In this way, you would get what you want without harming yourself. What do you say?" He said and she was again shocked.
She wasn't expecting him to handle this situation this calmly. She was expecting him to shout at her for breaking the rules and disobeying him over and over again.
But who was going to tell her that he could never stay mad at her? She was what he has always wanted in his life.
She was the presence he has always craved in his life. She was literally the answer to all of his prayers.
She was his soulmate, his other haIf and no matter what happens, he can never stay mad at her for too long.
And what she doesn't know is that he was starring at her the entire time. He didn't sleep at all. He was pretending to sleep.
Just as her eyes closed and he felt like she has finally fallen asleep, he woke up and started analysing her face.
They decided to stay in his room since she was yet to get introduced to the other pack members. He expected her to say no or at least ask for another bed to sleep in but to his surprise, she was ok with sleeping in the same bed as him.
He was genuinely surprised by her submissive behavior. Her behavior was pulling him more towards her.
He felt like protecting her more with each passing second.
He was noticing how she sleeps, how she frowns in her sleep whenever her hair flies and touches her face.
He was noticing how she would stay in the same position. She didn't even shift a little the entire time. She was in the same position she slept in.
She was so organized, even in her sleep. This reminded him of how he found her. Her state was saying anything but organized.
She was covered in dirt and scars. She was looking like a dirty yet fragile doll to him.
Had she met him in any other circumstances and later he found out about her sleeping habits, he would have thought that she belongs to a well trained pack.
The way of her sleeping was similar to his.
Just when her eyes flattered a little, he got alert and ended up sleeping again. He was so good at acting that she failed to realize that he was not sleeping. Then he also noticed how she was analyzing his face.
He also smiled at her but he wasn't going to get caught by her. Hence, he controlled himself.
He then noticed how she was slowly getting down from the bed and walking towards the door.
He opened his eyes and looked at her since he knew that she couldn't see him in the dark.
She found a candle after searching and left the room. He got up after seeing her leave.
He went to the balcony and noticed her.
She went to the garden and looked around herself to see if there was anyone around her.
Luckily, she didn't find anyone and while looking around, she has already gotten wet.
She looked at the flowers who were also enjoying the rainwater just as much as her.
A smile formed on her face and she closed her eyes before spreading her arms.
She looked up and the raindrops were falling on her face.
It was a little bit harsh and she could feel herself freezing but it felt good.
Then she stomped on the ground and water splashed around her.
A chuckle left her lips and she started repeating her actions over and over again.
She was feeling like a little kid at that moment. She forgot about all of her worries and focused on enjoying her time instead.
She was dancing around while touching one flower after another.
She was spinning around like a fan with closed eyes.
She fell to the ground all of a sudden with a thud as dizziness got the best of her.
She got hurt a little bit instead of painful cries, she started laughing uncontrollably.
She remembered her childhood. How she would fall down on the wet mud every time she would try to walk on the slippery muddy ground.
She started dirtying her hands with mud and then rub it over the plants.
Then collect rainwater with her hands and wash them again but by the time, she is done collecting enough water, half of the mud was already washed over by the rain.
Her dress was already dirty from the mud.
She looked around to find a water-filled vase and poured it all over her dirty dress.
The mud faded away a little but most was still present there.
She didn't bother washing it away perfectly and got busy in the rainwater again.
She repeated her first action and spread out her arms with closed eyes, asking the rainwater to hug her.
She was so busy enjoying herself that one pair of eyes went unnoticed by her.
Nicolas's eyes.
