Sinful Duty

Chapter 3

Small yet bright rays of sunlight peak through the small spaces in her blinds. The soft rays hit her eyes and it's enough to cause her to stir herself awake as she clenches her eyes more shut than they already are. Elizabeth feels warm - more cordial than usual.

As her senses wake up with her, Elizabeth feels a hand on her flat stomach and a hand on her left breast. She thinks it's her own hands, but both her hands are under her pillow. The woman instantly opens her eyes. Just as she goes to move away, she feels a warm breath hit her left shoulder. Elizabeth quickly sits up in her bed, and her vision is filled with blonde hair.

The man chuckles. "Good morning, Princess."

Oh boy, the amount of questions she has right now.

"What the fuck, Meliodas?" Elizabeth exclaims angrily. What in the world made him think it would be okay to just climb into bed with her? While she was already asleep? "Why in the Lord's name above are you in my bed?"

Meliodas looks at her, though his expression and emerald eyes are unreadable. "Sleepwalk?"

Elizabeth looks at him with an unimpressed look. "Really?" She speculates. "Out of all of the lies and excuses in with world, you chose sleepwalking?" Elizabeth couldn't believe this man. He simply shrugs as he sits up like she does.

"I like your choice of clothing, Elizabeth," the blonde then comments. Confused, she looks down and realizes that she's wearing her rather see-through nightie.

She grabs her blanket and covers herself with it. "Get out of my room," Elizabeth demands. When she looks into his rich green eyes, they're still unreadable but they hold a hint of arrogance and mischief. Before Meliodas gets up, she takes a good look at him. Elizabeth realizes that he'd taken off his hoodie, and is wearing a sleeveless shirt.

His arms are defined and toned and they look rather strong. How is it that he hasn't managed to break one of her bones with arms like that?

Her ocean blue eyes continue to roam his figure, even as he climbs out of her bed. The silverette hears him chuckle but the blonde doesn't turn his head to look her in the eyes. Meliodas leaves like she requested, but she finds it odd. The man hadn't even tried to argue or joke about something lewd... As if he hadn't already done something like that.

As the blonde man closes her bedroom door when he leaves, she lets the blanket drop. God, this is the only and last time she's wearing her nightie to bed when she has someone over.

A buzz comes from her nightstand, and Elizabeth suspects it to be her phone. The woman reaches over to her nightstand and disconnects her phone from the charger. It's a notification from her older sister Veronica.

(Veronica) - 8:26 A.M.

Morning, Ellie!

Elizabeth smiles widely at the softly illuminated screen. She loves how happy her sister seems over text, though her violet haired sister may not show much of it in person.

(Elizabeth) - 8:26 A.M.

Good morning, big sister!

(Veronica) - 8:28 A.M.

Now you decide to answer my texts?

I've been texting you for the past two damn days.

Did you go to that fucking bar again?

Her smile has never faded so fast. Was Veronica the one texting her when she ignored her phone at the bar?

(Elizabeth) - 8:30 A.M.

I'm sorry, Ver. I haven't been checking my phone and if you texted me yesterday, I didn't get the notifications.
