Day - ONE

Daydreams

Sophie's POV

Then steadily I lifted my eyelids and saw a shadow looming over me while I slept on my stomach. Still I sense someone's presence in my room. Then gathering every ounce of courage I flipped side and take a good look at the face above me.

There was a woman her eyes met mine. I was consoled by the fact that I knew her. Her gray hair done in the bun , strands of hair looming aside. Her face wicked and wrinkled feeble and gnarled hands crossing each other in front of her chest. No matter how motherly and warm aura she exhibited. Mrs. Collins was a cold hearted person apparently my distaste towards her was never taken into consideration. Alarick considered her as his mentor. She got to party with us and slept in my all because she was highly intoxicated like me.

The lady's face showed the sense of pride and all her wrinkles were evidence of her superiority among anyone else present in the room but my disapproval of her comes from her terrible and resented behavior towards me. Alarick has kept me under her surveillance considering she could take better care of me than anyone he knows.

She uplifted one eyebrow and gasped air ' You screamed out loudly and I along with Cassie brought put you on your bed. ' She turned around and started to go towards the door.

Suddenly I had the flashbacks of the memories I was bathing in - in the bathroom. Then I heard crack of bed from room aside then the voice of something falling down slowly I opened the doorknob and tiptoed I made my way towards the room on the other side carrying Alarick's loaded gun in my hand.

Then I remember glimpse of the room the sunshine reflected from the window. A strawberry blonde woman on the bed naked covered with thin white blanket. My blood started to boil and for a moment I wondered if my veins are going to burst. I was furious and mad maybe mad because I was madly in love with him. The idea of some other woman irked me to the core.

I threw a look at Mrs. Collins utterly displeased one her expression began to unease. ' Alarick cheated on me. He bought that leggy lass home last night.' My jaws tightened and my teeth clenched out of rage.

' You. Mrs. Collins Alarick brought a woman to my apartment.' All the frustration and anger I possessed came down into tears. I began to cry no matter how hard I tried to summon my strength together and especially not to show my vulnerability to this woman.
Her eyes narrowed and she seemed to be perplexed by my words.

' While I was bathing I heard a voice I took out the loaded gun which Alarick keeps for safety in the bedroom thinking burglar broke into the house. Then I went to the other room and I saw a woman's back she slept onto the bed. Her long legs tangled into bed sheet her hair flung open . Fr- From the bathroom I heard voice of shower. Alarick was inside. That woman screamed at me. I was frightened ran as I got intoxicated last night I still had hangover as of something I -----.' She shook her head in disbelief and turned around and started to walk towards the door.

I pulled my hair in frustration I threw kicks with both legs on bed and clenched my teeth more harder then I threw a book towards her that landed aside her. ' Why don't you trust me ? Alarick was with a woman in my own apartment. ' She turned around so my misbehavior conduct had an impact on her she again hastened towards me.

She bent down a bit ' Listen your conduct is barely tolerable . This insolent behaviour and this disrespect . I won't take it from someone who stands no where near me.'Her eyes were darkened her voice reminded me that she was very much capable of not the bad but far worst.

' You guys are together I brought you food from restaurant.' I heard voice beside me the anger inside me took a worst form I stood up on the bed didn't broke eye contact with him.

' You brought that woman home.' My warming tone took him off guard his smile vanished.

I took out hand and slapped him he grabbed my hand in the air. ' What wo----?' He dared to question back.

With the other hand I tried to remove his grasp of my one hand. I kicked in the air but none of those got right. He freed my both hands. I was panting hard.

' My Lord.' whispered Mrs. Collins who then deposited herself at the side of the room where she was unharmed.

Then I remembered each and every thing in the episode. I attacked him pounding on him and trying to punch his face he ducked and my legs lost the momentum then I ran like mad horse into the wall and I smashed into stacks of my medical books they all fall on me and I landed of on the floor.

I started to cry out loud thinking I tried hurting him I was so frustrated I never knew someone like me was capable of such a resentment that in response I would try to harm him. I swallowed hard but my guilt haunted me his face started to flash in front of my eyes. Why ? I enquired myself. I put my hands on my covering it. I began to cry out loud.

Then I looked towards him he stood there staring at me completely annoyed by my actions and he was taking deep breathes in. Besides me I saw Mrs. Collins picking up her bag and she dashed towards the door leaving him and me all alone.

Then when I was crying I felt a hand a mild caring touch on my head stroking my hair. Twice. I looked upto his striking face his lips that were close to mine his cut on the eyebrow. His eyes melted seeing me crying he drew a circle around my body and hugged me I wept in his arms I was no longer crying.

I felt a relief or a release I did not knew but I was assured that this moment that my love for him was such a deep that idea of merely seeing him with someone else provoked a beast in me i was unaware that even existed.

He was stroking my hair and he held other hand in mine gently pressing it time to time making sure I was completely silent and his chin rested on my head. I could feel his breathe in my hairs. I had hiccups from crying and madly yelling out very loudly but the moment was surreal and a bliss completely out of the world that I didn't wanted to trade it for anything in my life.

I began to fall asleep he took my head gently and put on the cupboard beside me. When he slammed the door my sleep broke.

'Mrs. Collins. I apologize from her behalf.' I heard his voice outside the room clearly audible.

' I don't care of yours for this moment. I have never been treated that poorly she threw book at me and accused me of lying.' I heard Mrs. Collins voice in a high tone than usually she speaks.

' Lie. What lie ? What she was talking about?' How ignorant he is for his behavior sent a hot shiver of betrayal in my heart.

' She said that you brought a woman home she saw you both just an hour ago before she was found unconscious on the floor.' She sounded concerned but that moment when I was explaining her she acted indifferent.

' What ? Complete nonsense. I went to office before she was even awake. You saw me going out. Mrs. Collins didn't you.' He sounded completely astonished even completely annoyed at the same time. So shocked his voice stated as he was saying the truth.

' That's why I resisted not to listen her absurd daydreams because I saw you going out.' I stood there completely freezed while Mrs. Collins and Alarick both sounded certain in their convictions.
