Unprofessional

Chapter twenty four

Nathan cussed loudly, he had gone back on his word. Gelma broke off from the kiss quite surprised to hear almighty Jonathan Wallace cuss. He retracted himself from her, taking a few steps backwards whilst tugging his hair, probably hoping he was in one of his erotic dreams but it was real. He had been kissing her for real. He was supposed to be angry and lashing out but here he was, craving for her supple lips, wanting to savor her sweet taste. He wanted to ravage her insides and claim her wholly. He wanted her so badly and no matter how much he was employing his self restraint, she kept breaking it. His hard walls were crumbling at an even faster rate. He starred at her, words couldn't explain how much he was drawn to her. She was breathtaking, she had succeeded in stealing his heart. She had done so effortlessly, how could she do this to him? In such a short time also.
He pinched the bridge between his brows torn within himself. Could he keep fighting his urges? Gelma Moriaty was definitely trouble.
"Sleep". He ordered and she obediently sat on the bed.
"I won't leave". She said when she noticed he was still standing by the bed.
"You always leave. I don't believe you". He stated then she felt the side of her bed dipping indicating that he was sitting down by her side.
"You want to spend the night here? With me?" She sounded alarmed, he chuckled lightly.
"I'll watch you every night Gelma...to ensure you wouldn't leave me again". He said. She gulped, digesting the promise his words held. She also settled on the 'again'. It didn't sound like her recent runaway. Maybe she was overthinking everything thing these days. Well, it was Nathan's fault. Just few days, he had shown up in her life and it had taken a different turn.
Now how could she sleep and have her fairytale dreams with the devil's incarnate watching her? She was sure of witnessing nightmares instead. It was seemingly hard for her to cover her eyes and sleep. Guess she would join him and watch herself too.
"My mom had been hospitalized". She began. "She is suffering from multiple myeloma but she would be fine because I was able to pay for her chemotherapy". She smiled, her mom was going to be healthy again. She could guarantee a good life for her family henceforth.
"The doctor said she would be discharged soonest".
"I think you should move them abroad". He suggested.
"Really! But I don't think I have enough funds to get them over there". She couldn't believe they were discussing as grown adults without any of them throwing tantrums.
"I would...don't want you using them as an excuse to see Tyler". He said, Gelma rolled her eyes. Really? Did he have to mention him? She then remembered what she had seen that night as Tyler was approaching her.
"Nathan do you have freckles?" Silence followed her question. She felt it again, the temperature was rapidly dropping.
"Sleep". She understood the underlying meaning behind his order and so she went on to sleep, praying to the moon to bless her with sleepiness so she would obey his direct orders once in her lifetime. When he was certain she had drifted into sleep, he summoned Dakuna.
"He is the one who would bring about her awakening". He said immediately he appeared.
"So she was the descendant of Oprah La Parge". Nathan said, referring to Ravaya.
"There is so much you don't know". Dakuna said.
