꧁🥀✻☘✻☘🌷꧂Chapter 44

Ain't none of that
Love ma rule
For once, I want a different picture in my life

Akira Pov

The pillow felt so comfortable under your head that you couldn't help but snuggle your face into the fluffy pillow, which smells so divine in your nostrils. Your arm was tightly embracing it, and you didn't want to wake up from your delightful dream of cuddling up with your knight on the beach with the breeze blowing through your hairs. You were enveloped by varied sensations of freedom: love and affection.

You heard your name faintly whispered in the wind, but you couldn't open your eyes. You don't want to leave the blissful state you're in right now.

A soothing voice whispers in your ear, "Akira...sweetheart...Akira. Wakey..wakey." You felt warm hands gently caressing your mahogany locks from your face...caressing your rose cheeks...but your floating body refused to heed to the reality of your consciousness and...after five minutes of contentedly enjoying your universe...on your magical beach setting. Your hand had a mind of its own as it caressed the soft yet firm contours of your pillow, relishing the heat of the folds...

Until your mind registered a return to reality when a sharp intake of breath drew your attention, your eyes flew open, and your mind was still a little dazed. Your eyes widen in horror as you realize what position you've found yourself in. Still, in your soulmate's embrace, your hand was cheekily inside his sweatshirt, stroking his strong six-pack abs with his hand holding your hand in position, preventing it from wandering off into uncharted territory.

Your eyes widen as you slowly raise your flustered face and lock gazes with your smirking soulmate's equally flustered face.

With a horrified expression on your face, you instantly sit up "Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry, Jhope... I imagined you were my soft pillow." You begin to whimper in embarrassment. You are covering your flustered face with both of your hands, peeking through your fingers at him.

Jhope chuckled softly, but his eyes had an undefine expression as he looked into your nervous eyes "It's fine, Akira...thank you for supporting me...to at least sleep. I appreciate it a lot...even if I don't deserve it." He was still resting backwards on the pillows, briefly closing his eyes. You gazed at him and realized that your soulmate was in desperate need of you. You're not sure why, but you're glad you could be there for him.

You twisted your entire body to face him, cautiously taking his hands in yours, amazed that he didn't pull away from you.

"Jhope... You... You deserve to be happy, and I'm delighted I could assist with that." You smile a little as his brow furrows and his eyes widen as he looks at you. He pushed himself up into a sitting position, clearing his throat lightly and whispering in a hoarse voice, "Akira... I'm really sorry for causing you so much sorrow over the last few weeks. I know it will be tough for you to forgive me... I completely understand. I treated you with contempt and unfairness." He winced, a guilty expression on his face "My actions are not an excuse Akira... You have such a pure soul and a big heart...and...and I don't deserve you." A crack in his voice was detected.
