Rose slept so deep she thought something was wrong, she tried moving around her body but it was impossible, ''What's wrong?'' the voice made her almost jump up from the bed in panic if it weren't for her ankle
But it was no dream, his face came up ''What's wrong? You here Is what's wrong!'' so it wasn't her imagination, for the past few days she felt a ghost come into bed with her then later wake up lonely, she never knew the feeling of loneliness for bloody sake.
Nicholas watched her lazily before he soothed her long hair from her face, ''Sleep..'' he tried pulling her waist back but she twisted from his grip, ''You need to leave for me to sleep, I cant believe I am being watched even when I'm sleeping'' Rose shook her head that is starting to heal.
Nicholas meant every word about not leaving her sight, Nicholas feed her disgusting medicines what an actual bully he was! Yet he was so caring and touchy that she thought someone drugged him, he would randomly fumble with her hair or steal a kiss or two.. he was never out of sight, and when she should've be annoyed with it she felt a thump whenever he was there. Rose even told the doctor that came to do a mental check up on Nicholas, but the doctor laughed saying 'any husband would go mad seeing his wife in this state'. Rose couldn't believe he told the doctor she is his wife when the matrimony has not take place.
And now he is here sleeping in the same bed?
Oh, she won't stand it!
Nicholas groaned loudly making a shiver run through rose at that masculine husky tone, ''You have caught me'' he grinned showing a boyish side of him that Rose never thought was there, she hid her blush with an accusing glare ''Not that it was hard when you crushed me with your ton weighting body''
Nicholas laughed his chest rising up and down making Rose uneasy, every sound he did affected her and blurred all her rational thinking, ''We fit perfectly don't you think?'' he continued and did something that Rose almost shrieked at, he caressed his legs with hers making them tangled together as he did not leave the bed, ''If you don't leave I will'' Rose warned.
Nick sighed loudly feeling like a child not getting its candy, ''One day I will find out why you bloody hate this, ''
Rose wondered what he meant as she watched him get off the bed his chest bare with trousers, ''Hate what?''
The earl met her confused gaze not knowing if she was fooling him, he didn't answer her and instead said, ''Remember to notify when you need something''
Rose rolled her eyes slumping back on the bed before snorting, ''I shall notify every breath I take''
Nicholas bit his lip in amusement, ''You shall''
When he left the room, she felt like sleep did not welcome her easily, she tossed the blanket to the side and drew her leg to the corner of the bed before finding the strength to stand up in the darkness, though it hurt she gained her balance on her other leg, it must be early she told herself. But the earls bedchamber had it perks, like a balcony right near the bed.
''How wonderful it would've been if I was back home'' Rose muttered silently loving the spring, she would meet her friends and no one could destroy her mood not even Belinda.
Rose chuckled almost unbelievingly thinking she even misses her cold bloody sister!
Her mind drifted to a certain green hazel's eyes, rose first thought they were green but how could she miss the light brown freckles, maybe being so close to him for the past days have made his whole face look different to her and mesmerizing.
Letting the cold breeze hit her face she breathed out and just like that her moment of calm was interrupted, ''My lady you shall not be standing there and certainly without a blanket'' Rita the old maid came rushing forward with a blanket
Rose only smiled cheekily before taking her arm and pulling her in, ''Look at this view, don't you wish to explore every place on earth?''
Rita smiled herself watching the beautiful view, ''It has not come to mind though I must say it sounds tempting''
Rose chuckled, ''It is tempting. and I shall one day be free like birds and leave this bloody world''
And soon it shall be
