Day - ONE

Puzzled

Sophie's POV

When the conversation between Alarick and Mrs. Collins got over. My mind began to analyze the scenario that took place today. It all seemed so concrete that there was no further denial that this whole thing has never took place.

On the other hand it was quite optimistic of the fact that maybe this was just hallucination from the last night but I have got drunk on multiple occasions before. I stood up and started pacing back and forth quite bewildered in my own thoughts this never took place. No it can't be the truth.

There was one single thing that made me stop and to assemble all my theories together if Alarick went to office in the morning in front of Mrs. Collins there were adequate chances that he was not the one who was in the bathroom. Beside I heard voice from the bathroom not the actual person who was inside it.

Then why would she completely deny and lie about it. My own eyes witnessed everything today. While with conversation with Alarick she was persuading him on the fact that there was no one else in the room except me and her. Maybe.

Maybe it was Mrs. Collins who brought that strawberry blonde woman home. There are chances I would not ever deduce someone on the basis of their sexual orientation but that gives me suffice reasons to conclude that is the reason why she is Mrs.Collins is estranged wife because she is maybe lesbian or bisexual.

I grabbed my head and sat on the bed the ugly crying made my headache worse after getting unconscious .I saw my reflection in the mirror and was relieved by the fact that Alarick was not disloyal to me.

I stood up and strolled my way towards him he was sitting on the chair waiting for me then he was opening the packet of food he served it in two plates in front of him.

' I am so Sorry , Alarick .' His eyes met mine he saw on the food again he wouldn't even look at me not even once.

I took his hand in mine and planted a kiss on centre of his palm gently . I saw his magnificent eyes seeing them deeply I saw one thing. Hurt. I hurted him in worst possible way imaginable.

' Alarick , I said I am Sorry. I want you . I want you to understand it was my own stupidity it you are not the one to blamed. I am embarrassed of my conduct today. I can not stand the idea of you with someone else. I love you.' My words got him off guard but he regarded me under his big eyelashes.

Now I have already apologized enough. I was not at the fault. Neither was he we were in fight because of someone else who was atleast least important to me. Seeing Alarick's face and his behavior towards me not a single time he bothered to look to me. Say something. I would loose my ability to hear by this deafening silence.

Did I literally had enough audacity to hear his thoughts at this particular moment? I didn't knew but my heart was beating loud he was surely disappointed with me. He was silent throughout our dinner.

Only chewing food , he put glass on the table making sound , he took deep breaths and releasing it , he was tapping his legs on the floor eating fastly and using cutlery to make noise now and then.

After dinner got over. He stood up and started to make his way towards the room. I grabbed his hand while he turned around. He turned back I glanced into his deep blue eyes. I cross the distance between us and smashed my body into his body. I could sense the tension wanting a release. I could sense his body language transparently but each time I saw his stunning perfectly carved face and his eyes which refused to see in mine which wandered all over here and there except my eyes. I could sense the irreparable damage that I have caused apparently.

I felt a tug in my heart. I grabbed his face and forced his eyes to mingle with mine. His eyes darkened he crossed the last distance between us and bent downwards and kissed me claiming his territory his hands were worshipping my body and he made me swept me off the feet and took me towards the bedroom.

' You are not getting easily with that you pretty boy.' I took my hands out and started tickling him he was laughing hysterically. His smile made me forget all the mess that occurred today. His charming smile and dimples made a most beautiful sight in my eyes. His face bleamed like sunflower of whenever he smiles .  God ! I have loved this man throughout my life . No regrets.

The simple wide smile reaching ears to ears becomes extraordinary when you know you are the reason behind it especially when it comes from someone you love dearly.

The room was messy , cushions thrown here and there the creases on the bedsheet and the memories we made together. Few minutes ago hand in hand ,pair of lips on mine , caressing and cherishing each and every moment.

When we were done. We were tangled in the bedsheet he was lying above me looking aside breathing slowly and I could sense his heartbeat above every now and then whenever he took deep breathes I could hear it. Then after few minutes he would gaze in my eyes and look down smiling and hug me tightly.

' People say I am quite good businessman. Am I really being a good boyfriend ?' My hands stopped on his back I glanced into his eyes he saw up towards me and then looked aside.

' Without a doubt , Alarick. ' I replied patting his back he chuckled and hide his face underneath me breathing and sending shiver all over again.

' Really . Am I being a good boyfriend ?' He glanced at me like a lost child. His chin pressed below my breasts.

' People can not decide if you are being a good boyfriend or not. I am not giving anyone that authority to decide that. Besides you are good boyfriend.' He was staring at me in awe I think he wanted me to say something more to appraise him. ' but if you are going to make breakfast tomorrow. You are going to be a great boyfriend.' He chuckled and dug his head again into my body.

He didn't get off me the whole night his body pressed hard on me. His arms encircling me caging and never he didn't let me go. He was sleeping silently calmly and seeing him eased and relaxed made my heart soften. I was playing with his hair while he slept caressing them lightly I don't wanted ever to disturb his peace.

Someone else needs to be held accountable for their actions yesterday. I need an explanation of her gestures her deceptions .I recalled Mrs. Collins fake demure , cunning smile and more that that how she destested me ignoring now and then and those eyerolls from time to time in the very first meet.
Hardly knowing me.
