Reiner – Please Sleep with Me

“The appointment to do that is tomorrow anyways. Not much difference if I remove it now,” I argued back.

“Stop being so stubborn, Natalia. Just do what the doctor says,” Reiner said, sounding very strict.

“Who’s the one that’s really being stubborn here? Isn’t it you? You’re back but you didn’t even tell me.

You looked after me all this time, but you never told me. Why are you doing this?” I demanded to know.

“Natalia…” Reiner said my name softly.

“I called for you, but you never replied. I reached for you, but you won’t take my hand. What other options do I have left? I’m going to take these stupid eyepatches off so that I can finally see you!” I said softly but ended up screaming at the end from my own frustration.

“Stop…Natalia!” Reiner raised his voice.

His hand tightened around mine as I fought against his grip to free my hand.

“Let go!” I screamed.

“Natalia, calm down. I’m here…it’s ok…” Reiner said, calmly and reassuringly.

“How do you expect me to calm down…you could be gone again at any time…” I said through gritted teeth.

“I won’t leave, not until you’re fully recovered anyways…” Reiner said followed by a sigh.

I see, so it’s not like he’s back here permanently. It wasn’t like I hadn’t expected this. More than half of me knew that he was probably back to take care of me until I recovered from the effect of the fire incident.

“Come here, R…closer…” I said as I beckoned him closer to me with my hands.

I felt Reiner coming closer, his face coming closer to mine. I reached out my hands and he took them in his.

“Can you please place my hands on the sides of your face?” I requested, a little boldly.

“Like this?” Reiner said and after a hint of hesitation, he placed my hands on his cheeks just as I had requested.

I smiled happily when I felt his face against the palms of my hands. He’s so close…finally…

“Come closer…” I said once again.

Reiner leaned in even closer, and I felt like his face was directly in front of mine. I wished I could see him, and I wished that I could gaze deep into his beautiful blue eyes as I made my next request. But…

I’ll live with what I can get…for now…

“R…have sex with me,” I said softly but clearly before biting on my lower lip.

“…excuse me?” Reiner said, clearly shocked by my straightforward request.

“Have sex with me…take me…fuck me…please…” I repeated my request so that he would fully understand.

“Stop this, Natalia. You’re still recovering,” Reiner said as he tried to move his face away from mine.

“I’m completely fine except for these eyepatches that prevents me from seeing. The doctors never said anything about abstaining from sexual activities either…” I argued, knowing that I was right.

“Stop saying such crazy things and just rest,” Reiner said dismissively.

“You don’t want to? I can’t see so you’ll probably have to help me out while we do it but…” I said before smiling at him.

“Natalia…” Reiner said my name softly as if he couldn’t find the words.

“You don’t want to? Really? It’s been a while…are you sure that you don’t want to have me?” I asked in a small pleading voice.

If I speak faster than he could then I could convince him…and then, I’ll surely get my way…right?

I could sense Reiner’s hesitation…

“Don’t overthink it, R. It’s not like we’ve never done it before. You don’t have to love me…I’ll still want to sleep with you. Please?”

“Laura will be back soon. I suggest you stop this nonsense,” Reiner stated emotionlessly.

“Then…should I give her a call? Or should you?” I asked.

“What?” Reiner said and I could imagine him furrowing his brows.

“You don’t want her walking in on us, right? As for me, I guess I wouldn’t mind. She knows…about us…

anyways…I think…” I said before giggling a little.

Reiner didn’t reply and I knew that I was very close to achieving my goal. If he wanted me to chase him, I’ll do it…all the way to the end of the world.

“You don’t have to worry that I cannot see. I’m actually very good at sex with a blindfold on as well…

or…do you want me to take it off?” I asked seductively as I cocked my head playfully to the side.

Sorry, Reiner. I wanted to be the nice girl when I’m with you but I’m willing to play the wicked one if that meant that I could have you.

I felt the heat of Reiner’s palm on top of my own before he peeled my hands gently away from the sides of his face.

“I’ll call Laura,” Reiner said emotionlessly.

Finally. I let out a small giggle and smiled with utmost satisfaction.

I felt Reiner’s presence moving further away from me and figured that he was probably going to call Laura. Soon, I could hear Reiner’s voice as he spoke to Laura on the phone. When Laura replied, I could hear her too, although not so clearly.

“Laura, you don’t have to come back to the hospital today. I’ll take care of Natalia,” Reiner said.

“Huh? But…what about the apples?” Laura asked, sounding a little confused.

“Just bring them tomorrow. Thanks for your hard work today,” Reiner said.

“Umm…ok…bye…” Laura replied, still sounding a little confused but she had decided to do what Reiner had ordered her to.

I waited patiently for Reiner to end his call with Laura. Reiner was silent after he had ended the call and I could tell that he still felt hesitant about having sex with me. I couldn’t blame him though. Even I wasn’t sure what would happen between us if we had sex together to mark our reunion. It’s been a while and we both didn’t know what kind of relationship that we had between us anymore.

I wouldn’t lie and say that I didn’t wanted Reiner physically, but the truth was that that wasn’t all. Above all, I wanted to know what if anything has changed between us since we’ve been apart. If I asked, he probably won’t tell me and perhaps he wouldn’t know the answer to that either, just like I didn’t know my own answers.
