Pain behind those grey eyes

29.Couldn't sleep

We shifted almost all our stuffs from my bedroom to his bedroom within half an hour. Smith did the most and somehow still managed to stay calm while I was panting heavily like a dog in the end. He told me rest when he saw my condition. Now, I am in his room ready to sleep and Smith is downstairs to inform his grandparents that their room is ready and they come and crash now.

But..now a slight problem which I am facing right now is...Where will I sleep?

On the couch?

But it is so damn uncomfortable.

On the bed with him?

No no I can't...I can't trust my damn hormones if he would be so close to me.

I was still pacing back and forth in his room when the door opened and he entered.

Goodness, even at this odd time, how does he still manages to look so fucking handsome? "You okay?" He asked coming towards me and noticing my restless, confused expression.

"Y-Yeah...I was just wondering, where will I sleep..you know?" I asked him.

"On the bed obviously." He shrugged like it's obvious and I looked at him in confusion. Is he ready to sleep on the couch?

"Where will you be sleeping then..on the couch?" I frowned and pointed at the uncomfortable couch.

"No...On the bed of course. Don't worry the bed is big enough for both of us. No one needs to sleep on the couch." He replied nonchalantly and walked towards his bed. He took off his tshirt in a quick action and threw it on the couch. Next, came his sweatpants and he took them off too throwing it on the couch again. Now, he was just in his boxers while I was staring at him with my mouth agape, too freezed to react.

His body is more gorgeous from what I expected or even thought of even in my wildest imaginations. His broad shoulders, muscled biceps and wide chest, with a little amount of hair and blurred traces of six pack abs was perfect to me.

I was blushing hard just by looking at him, and I'm damn sure my face would be a complete tomato right now. But for some reason, I couldn't shift my gaze towards something else, away from his handsome face and body. The atmosphere inside the room suddenly became so hot making me thirsty and I licked my lips. He noticed me staring but didn't said anything. He settled on the bed covering his legs with the duvet and leaned against the headboard in a confident posture making me nervous.

"I hope...you aren't uncomfortable, Alysia?" He asked me but there is something different in his voice, in his posture and the look he was giving me right now. His beautiful grey eyes are filled with lust as well as some strange emotion.

I couldn't say anything so I just shook my head in negative.

I took off the coverall of my night dress and walked towards the bed. From my pheriphal vision, I noticed Smith looking at me but I ignored and settled beside him on the bed covering myself with the duvet. I know I'll lose my control if I even glance at him again.

My attraction for Smith now is really getting out of control these days and I don't want to embarrass myself further. Still, I muttered 'goodnight' to him and heard his hum in reply.

I felt him lying down beside me after some minutes.

I stirred in my sleep and turned around and my eyes opened a little. I checked the time and it was 4:27 now and Smith was not in bed with me. I immediately sat up and looked around the room, only to find him standing at the balcony looking outside.

Why is he not sleeping?

Does he feel uncomfortable sleeping on the same bed with me?

Did I took a lot of space and kicked him out of his bed? Shit.

I decided to ask him rather than assume something wild. I slowly took my coverall and tied it in the front and walked towards the balcony, where he was standing. He was still shirtless but now wearing his sweatpants. His broad back and strong shoulders were clearly visible I and tried my best not to stare at it.

"You are awake?"

His deep, husky voice came out loud in the early morning silence. My cheeks immediately heat up in embarrassment because he probably noticed my presence and must be thinking that I was staring at him like a creep.

"Umm....yeah. why are you awake?" I replied walking close to him.

"Couldn't sleep." He replied and that's when I noticed a lighted cigar in his hand. He smokes? Since when? He noticed me staring at his cigar and offered me. I politely shook my head in no and he shrugged in response.

"Since when did you started....smoking?" I asked cautiously. I didn't wanted to pry too much into his personal life but I'm curious as fuck and couldn't hold back. He looked at me for a second and then turned his head to look ahead inhaling his cigar not bothering to give me any answer.

Basically, he ignored me.

Well, okay then... I guess.

I shook my head in disappointment. Well..what did I expected? It's really so damn embarrassing to get rejected every single time. Couldn't he be courteous just for once? I turned around, ready to go back to my beauty sleep when his hand grabbed my forearm stopping me in my tracks. I looked at his hand on my arm and then at his face.

"Wait...stay please." The cigar is still in his other hand and his eyes are filled with desperatetion. I couldn't say no to him so I simply nodded and stood beside him. He held my hand in his and started rubbing his thumb on it. I felt goosebumps on my skin because of this action and I meekly glanced at him, he was still looking ahead inhaling his cigar.

We stood in complete silence like that, holding hands and looking ahead. I didn't said anything this time.

"I don't smoke generally. The cigars were gifted by my client so...just trying." He murmured and finally looked at me. I nodded, too shy to say anything as he was looking at me so intensely. "Why aren't you sleeping Alysia?" He whispered and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.

"Couldn't sleep but why aren't you sleeping?" I whispered back in a soft voice. He started rubbing his thumb on my soft cheeks but didn't replied. He was still looking at me while I was looking down at my shivering hands. I'm just too shy to even maintain eye contact with him.

"Eyes on me, only me." He murmured and with his index finger under my chin, he made me look at his face. Now, both of his hands are cupping my cheeks making me feel all hot and wet between my legs and I'm damn sure, the butterflies are now playing sumo wrestling inside my tummy though I tried my best to ignore that.

"I'm insomniac Alysia..." he replied in a very soft voice.

He never used this tone with me before. I nodded back and we finally looked into each other's eyes and literally the time stopped when he bent down his head a little and claimed my lips like he owned it.
