Chapter 9 • Too Early •

My eyes blurred open. My eyes burned from the bright light of the room.

A voice brought me to my full attention. "It's truly nothing serious, boss..." I watched as the lady put a reassuring hand on my fiancee's shoulder.

As if he cares

"She fainted from hunger and exhaustion. She'll be okay. She just needs a lot of rest." She stated.

I watched as he let out a huff, rubbing the nape of his neck. "Thank you, Aiyana. I've just been really worried."

A loud, un-lady like snort escaped my throat. Both there heads snapped towards me.

Aiyana took a step back before nodding. "I'll leave you two alone." With that, she left.

I watched as he walked up to while I lifted myself up. "What the hell was that about."

He sat on the end of the bed. "What are you talking about?"

I scoffed."What I'm talking is, 'I've just been really worried'."

He chuckled. This man actually chuckled. My nose scrunched up as the noise hit my eers. It was so raw...No, no...Not raw. Fucking scary. "What  are you talking about. Don't you like me worrying, my love?"

"Don't fucking call me that. And you haven't answered my question."

"Because everyone here has to believe that you and I love each other."

"Well, how are they supposed to believe that after what you did yesterday."

He scoffed, "You meant after what you do. Just remember that they're cameras everywhere."

I released a small chuckle. "Yet you still hit me? You're such a great actor." I removed the blanket over me and adjust myself on my knees.

Even though I was right next to him on my knees, you could notice the major height different. I glanced down my body only to notice the new clothes I was wearing. "Did you bathe me?"

"Yes..." He answered. "And the only reason why I hit you is because of the stunt you pulled off yesterday. So let me make this clear...If you ever disrespect me again, I wont hesitate before fucking killing you."

I gasped over dramatically. ''You seem like a man with no patience, Especially for me. When my uncle informed you about me, you came immediately. But you'v had to chase after me multiple times. Get insulted by me multiple times. And me embarrassing you definitely wont be the last and you know that. So, why am I still alive? I don't know. Do I care? Fuck no. But what I do know is that I'm fucking annoying, so my conclusion is that you can't kill me even if you wanted to."

The man's face twitched. A look of hatred spread over his face as he got up from the bed before I did the opposite and slumped back down, covering myself.

It was already too early for me

"Get up." He demanded.

A look of confusion covered my features. "Why the fuck would I do that?" I questioned as I moved my curtain bangs behind my ears.

"Because I fucking-"

I cut him off. "Shh." I brought I finger to my lips as the sound came sliding off my tongue. "The cameras remember?"

He rolled his eyes. "Just get up and meet me in the kitchen for breakfast." He dragged out before turning around but before he could even reach for the door knob I cleared my throat.

He turned around again. "What?"

"You don't expect me walk all the way to the kitchen? You heard what the lady said. I need a lot of rest and going anywhere is not resting."

He crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking very much under-impressed, though his pose made his muscles bulge out of his white dress shirt.

Couldn't he be ugly atleast?

I bit my lip as my eyes came back to his face as he spoke. "Well, what do you suggest than?"

"Aww, baby! You actually care. Well, if you insist than...Why don't you carry me?"

He chuckled, again. He must be in a really good mood today. "No." He answered blankly.

"Okay, but I'm feeling kind of dizzy all of a sudden..." I spoke as the back of my hand met my head."But you go and enjoy your breakfast." I sighed dramatically before I slumped back.

Silence

I wanted to get up and look if he was still in the room, but I couldn't even if I wanted to because I was drained. Honestly it hurt to even get up.

Before I could make any further movement, I felt my fiancee's arm wrapped around me before scooping me up. "What happened to that no."

"Just shut up." He spoke as he adjusted me on him while he continued to take steps forward.

His smell invading me.

Gosh, he aroma was fucking intoxicating to the point in which I went crosseyed. "God, you smell so good. I should probably stop talking because I haven't brushed my teeth since I got here. But, you? You're breathe alone is coming to give me an orgasm."

His chest rippled next to me as I heard a laugh. That wasn't supposed to come out. I felt my ears heat up as embarrassment took over my features.
