~Next day~

I slept like a baby since I had made Tobias sleep on the sofa as punishment.

I wasn't about to let him go just because he said some weird things.

A complete jerk.

I rubbed my eyes sleepily and adjusted my maroon satin nightgown, which I had requested from a kind lady.

I brushed my hair briefly before brushing my teeth and taking a bath.

He was still sleeping by the time I finished, and I grumbled.

I wonder if he lied to me about being a cop...I crept up behind him and poked him.

He stirred awake briefly before falling back asleep.

I stroked my finger down his hand to tickle him, but he still didn't wake up.

"Tobias! Wake up!!!" I screamed. He flinched awake and grabbed my hand.

"Are you all right?" His husky voice rang out. I laughed and tugged on his cheeks.

"No, I'm starving and I don't know what to do." I groaned.

"Never do that again and you can just call the staff the telephone is right there." He massaged his eyes and said. My gaze followed his gaze, which settled on the telephone. I felt stupid now. My cheek flushed as I carefully rose from the ground and walked over to the telephone.

"Aurora, wait. I'll call them on your behalf "He offered as he got out of bed and walked up to me. As he pulled the phone from my grasp, his fingers gently grazed mine. I snapped out of my trance and grabbed the phone from his grasp.

"I can handle it myself. Thank you very much." I replied as I dialed the helpdesk. Just as the staff picked up. Tobias took the phone from me.

"Good morning, ma'am. I was wondering if we might have breakfast delivered to our room?"He asked with an easy smile, propping himself on the table while staring at me. I huffed, irritated.

"Thank you. My wife and I would like a complete breakfast with a dessert on the side." He toyed with the telephone coil. I gasped.

"Thank you so much. Have a wonderful day!" He replied joyfully before hanging up the phone.

I smacked him, and he flinched.

"What the heck is the matter with you? Didn't I warn you not to call me your wife?!!"

"Should I have said that my friend and I would want a full meal?" He cocked his brow.

"Yes! Absolutely, you moron!" I shrieked. He gradually backed me up to the wall.

"Don't you think they would have noticed you and me before thinking about something else if they had gotten here? Something wrong." He placed a strand of my hair behind my ear, causing my breath to hitch.

"Thus I cleared their doubts ahead of time." He spun around with a smile to brush his teeth with joy. Goddamn that moron.


~Few hours later~

I was awakened by a thud. I sat up on the bed, my hair in a tangle once more.

"What are you up to?" I let out a yawn. Tobias chuckled.

"You're adorable." He smiled. I rolled my eyes and approached him.

He was trying to open a large container. But, why?

"What's inside that?" I asked.

"Some antique artefacts that a passenger I met wanted to get rid of," he said seriously.
