Chapter 10:

“Well,”

“lean against the door

Ligh, having an idea of what she’s trying to say, so I leave the door open, return to her and carry her in any arms.

“Hey, I didn’t say you should carry me.” She wraps her arms around my neck.

“You didnt have to say it.” I smirk.

After bringing her to her bedroom, I place her on the bed and she smiles at me.

I nod lightly, looking at the region that lies between her legs underneath her dress.

“I can’t tell I haven’t yet gone to p

“I know. Will you have your breakfast here?”

“Yeah.”

Last time?

“And you’ll just be in bed?”

it’s not like I’ll be doing nothing I’ll be broadening my knowledge on everything you explained to me the other day.”

“It’s a good thing you’re taking this seriously. Otherwise, you would make me think I was wasting my time on you.”

She rolls her eyes, making me chuckle softly.

The room then falls silent and she closes her eyes, running her hands through her hair and exposing her hickeys for a few seconds before they’re covered up by her hair again. They’re a huge reminder of how much I got carried away last night.

Now that she’s no longer in my bedroom and my work here is done, I make my way to the door and sigh with reliet. Everything feels like it’s back to normal and i hope it stays this way.

Just as I’m about to close her bedroom door, she says, “Wait”

“What is it now?” I keep the door open, poking my head inside.

“How was it?” she asks.

“What do you mean?‘

“The emergency at work. You didn’t exactly tell me what happened, but i saw how stressed you were when you received that call”

Her voice is laced with concern. The last thing I would’ve expected was for her to ask and it warms my heart so much that I just want to tell

her all about it

I come back inside her bedroom close the door and begin explaining it all to her. The entire time, she completely pays attention.

“Oh my, that was awful,” she says, then smiles. “I’m just glad it’s all sorted out

“Yeah,”

“Good” Sne purses her lips.

Finally leaving her bedroom, I head downstairs. Just as I take my seat to have my breakfast, my father in law calls.

“Good morning” I say to him, my voice a little cheerful

“Good morning, my son.”

His voice sounds weak, making me furrow my eyebrows

“Of course, I just woke up. Em still exhausted”

“So far, it’s better than I expected

“Don’t forget that I’m supposed to introduce you to someone I know,” I say to him.

“How could I forget! We’ll do it as soon as return. How’s my daughter?”

“She’s alright. Are you unable to reach her?

“No, it’s not that. It’s just that never

“Oh, okay”

“I see you’ve already continued with this ” | shove my hands in my pockets

“Yes” Her tone is serious as she doesn’t even look at me is there anything you need? I’m quite busy”

The audacity to talk to me like this makes me shake my head

“Remind me of something, when are you spending time with my sister?”

“Tomorrow,” she replies, her eyes glued to her screen.

“Will that be in the morning?
