His Rose

Chapter 5

She took out the materials for creamy mushroom ramen and started with the recipe. I got up to help her but she turned her head towards me and frowned at me cutely. I quickly sat back down and watched as she worked. She was beautiful! I watched her very move intently and with utter concentration, completely mesmerized by this beauty. It took only ten to fifteen minutes and she was placing the readied dish in front of me in a plate and handed me fork. The delicious aroma filled my nostrils and my mouth watered even more. I quickly took two bites at the same time and my eyes closed on their own. Goddammit! It's so good! I haven't tasted anything like this in my whole life. Goosebumps rose on my arms. I gulped and hungrily started savoring the dish.

"slow down!" she chuckled and handed me orange juice. "it's good then." She grinned as she watched me eat. I nodded and she giggled.

She grabbed her own plate after pouring more in my plate. And started eating, grinning proudly as she took the first bite. I chuckled under my breath at her reaction.

I made dinner in the evening and now she was sitting on the sofa in the lounge as she sketched on the notebook with utmost concentration. I watched her every move sneaking glances at her as I sat on the nearest couch to her. Barely paying any attention to the papers in my hands. I had taken my work to the longue as soon as she sat there.

A yawn escaped her lips and she leaned back on the couch. Not stopping her sketch. I watched as her eyes slowly closed and soon she fell asleep. I quickly got up and made way towards her. I picked her up bridal style and carried her towards her bedroom. I gently laid her down on her soft bed In her room and took the notebook and pencil colors from her hands carefully. I placed them beside her king sized bed placed in the center of the vast room with white net curtains all around covering it. I gazed at my rose contently. And tucked a lock behind her ear.

I went to make a phone call down stairs and when I came back I froze at the spot. She was clutching my shirt and a frown was on her face. She stirred in her sleep trying to snuggle even closer to my shirt. I shot towards her panicking and gently caressed her forehead but the crease won't go. She was anxious. As soon as I carried her in my arms, a sigh escaped her lips and the crease relaxed. She snuggled closer to my chest and her whole face relaxed. I breathed. I hurried towards my bed room clutching her to my heart. And slowly got on bed. She laid her head on my heart subconsciously trying to listen to my heart beat in her sleep. I carefully adjusted her in my arms so her ear was directly on my heart. I held her closer to me, gently cupping the side of her face with my palm. I gazed down at her as she slept peacefully. Peace and calm seeping into the depths of my soul as I held her and gazed down at her with warmth in my eyes. I completely relaxed under her soft body and gently ran my hands through her hair. My heart leapt in my chest as a soft smile slowly formed on her lips as she dreamed.

After hours went by, I slowly moved her in my arms as I tried to lay her down on the bed but froze as she stirred and snuggled closer to me.

"I'll be right here my rose." I gently whispered looking down at her angelic face. She slowly relaxed and when I gently laid her down again. She hugged the pillow and snuggled closer to it with a sigh. I breathed and slowly got out of bed. I watched her sleep all night as I sat on the chair beside her. Completely at peace and calm having my rose next to me.

I frantically looked for her all over the mansion barking orders at dozens of my men guarding the perimeter.

She had come down the next morning and ate breakfast I made for her. I ate along and after that, I went to receive a phone call and when I came back she was nowhere to be found. I searched for her everywhere but it was like she vanished into thin air without a trace. I panicked. What if she is in danger.
