For now.... Not forever

Author's point of view-

Esther is sleeping peacefully on her dusty bed. Her hand encircled her waist and chest smitten to legs. She almost looked like a ball.

On the other hand Lucas is having hate time sleeping on his king size soft mattress. Still he can't sleep?

His eyes we're glowing in dark, he is constantly staring at fancy ceiling.

He gave nightmares since the day she left. A nightmare where Esther don't love him at all and nobody is there to love him.there's always a cure of bad dreams. He just don't know or did he?

He feels emptiness, one piece is missing. A very big one. He just know this much. If he finds it might the nightmare will be gone.

What is that huge piece? He lacks emotions and is heartless?
No, it is that big, it took all these little negative things away as soon as it is inserted.

He doesn't bother to find it. He switched on the lamplight and shuffle in nightstand's drawer and found out what he is looking for.

Sleeping pills.

He is taking them in four years  straight.

After taking them, he switched off the light and let pills take over him.

He fell into deep slumber.

Desperation. That all he think when he look at those pills.

He don't know how to sleep without them. He can't help but took them and again get up in morning to look like a man with no flaw and any kind of fear....

(O_O)(O_O)(O_O)(O_O)(O_O)(O_O)(O_O)

He got up in 6 am as usual, did the morning routine and workout to keep his body fit.

Today he dresses in simple dark forest green shirt and and black formal pants.

He jogged down stairs to kitchen only to find Esther cooking something.

He just don't know why he feel  annoyed seeing the first face which is hers.

"Where is Isabella? " He spoke without looking at her.

As you all know Esther's mom is chef at his mansion but she is on long leave, he hired new cook. Isabella.

"She is on leave" She said calmly making sure no words infuturiate him.

He finally look at her. For some minute he just admire her beauty. Little bit upper lip swollen, a small cut on for head, several purple would on collar bone and hands.

But no wounds, no bruises can hide her goddess like beauty.

She is the most beautiful woman he ever saw and he would never deny.

He knows if he ever wanted a partner it should her or no one.

He walked and stand in front of her her while she is making pancake.

Sensing his presence just beside her, just this close make her hand movement get uneven.

Isn't his whole attention on her was enough for her to get nervous that he start standing inches close to her?

She tried to look  unbothered  but nevertheless her hands telling another story. They were trembling and unable to flip pancake.

He touches her hand which was handling the flower indicating her to release it. She did as he want.

He gently places his thumb on her chin forcing her to look at him.

"I swear I will never cook. If you d- don't want you don't have have to eat i- am mak--"

He put his another hamd on her left cheek and caressed it affectionately.

" Next time speak a little loud. I will eat what you are making"  She finally matched her eyes at his eyes.

" Really? " A glint of shock and soon smile take over her lips. She thought that their relationship is finally working, maybe she can have old Lucas again.

Seeing her smiling, he can't help but break her high hopes. He knows what she is thinking. 'That would never happen' that all he knew.

"For now.... Not forever" He look straight at her face to predict the emotions she is feeling.

Her smile dropped just as her heart beat. She slowly and softly blinked her tears away and looked away from his face.

" Breakfast will ready in five minutes " She said coldly with her whole attention on making pancakes.

He feels it. Pain. Seeing her this heartbroken but never let pain for her eat him completely.

He jerked her arm towards him which left her to collide on his chest.

He looked Possesively at her wet lashes batting but she never look up at him.

"You are not allowed to talk rudely to me. You know that right? " He asked her while gripping her more tightly.

"Yea_" She murmured

"Loudly" Get closed his eyes to control his building anger.

"Yes" She peak a little loud than before but he didn't like it.

"I said loudly! " He roared at her face.

She flinched and tried to free her arm from his very tight grip.

" Yeahhh" She poke loudly but her voice break at last

(O_O)(O_O)(O_O)(O_O)(O_O)(O_O)(O_O)

They are done eating breakfast and he wiped his mouth from napkin.

How much he missed eating the food cook by her, he still remember how much delicious she make cupcakes.

He want to eat more from her hands but he chose against it. He is making sure he don't get addicted to the food cooked her.

" Your dress in in room. Get ready we are going  for fitting for the dress you will be wearing in party. You have 10 minutes"

" Pardon? " She looked up at his face.

She is shocked but quickly recovered her shockness.
He glared at her.

"I- I mean I understood" She got from dining chair and made her way to her room to get dressed.
