PART TWO OF THE SERPENT
✥The Rich Girl & Her Bodyguard ✥
She had first told me she loved me at 11:20 as my fingers were busy getting soaked by her. Those pretty coloured eyes begged a man who couldn't love to love her just as hard. Her rosy flushed...

❦Blaise❦ I restlessly moved on top of my sheets as my whole body ached as if it was badly sore. I had only been asleep for an hour leaving me still very much tired and frustrated.
Glancing over at my side table, I read the digital clock flashing 1 am and sighed annoyed at the achiness filtering throughout my body like a hot wire. I rubbed my dry throat before getting up from my bed and quietly made my way into the dark kitchen.
I glanced over my shoulder to find Octavio fast asleep on the overly small couch, a pillow stuffed against his chest. I quickly turned around when I caught myself staring for too long and grabbed a glass from the cupboard before filling it up with water.
As the water sloshed down my throat, I turned around once again and watched him from the corner of my eye. I was almost jealous at how peacefully he was sleeping as I shook my head with a smile on my face and turned to place the glass in the sink.
Deciding to try to fall asleep again, I started to move towards my bedroom when I saw Octavio flinch in his sleep. Another flinch raked through his body, this one harder than the previous one, and I started to move towards the living room to the couch where he was lying.
Placing a gentle hand on my belly, I slowly lowered myself onto the floor beside the couch. Once situated next to him, I brought my hand up to his face and softly caressed his head as he murmured soft whispers in his sleep.
He was instantly attracted towards my hand and nestled up against it as I continued to weave my fingers gently through his soft long curls. Thinking his nightmare had passed, I stopped moving my fingers through his hair and just watched over him.
"Don't stop." I flinched as I heard his voice and pulled my hand back just as he groaned and opened his sleepy green eyes.
In a hurried manner, I went to get up in my long nightgown but failed miserably halfway as I fell back towards where I was sitting on the floor. Immediately two hands held onto me and carefully lowered me to the carpet.
"Easy." He scolded with a raspy voice, no doubt from being asleep.
"Stay there. I'll help you up this time." I was about to refuse when he got up from the couch and bent down to where I was sitting on the floor.
"Okay hold onto me and I'll pull you up, alright?" He instructed as he placed his first arm around the back of my waist and placed his other hand where the baby was.
"Okay." I said as I leaned into him and he pulled me gently back to my feet. Once I was back on my feet, I quickly straightened my nightdress out.
"What are you doing up so late? Did you need something?" Octavio questioned as I carefully pulled myself away from him and lowered myself onto the couch he was sleeping on.
"Umm, I couldn't sleep. I don't know, I mean I'm tired but my body won't stop aching." Just then I groaned in pain as I leaned back into the couch. On instinct, I closed my eyes and laid my head back on the top cushion hoping to relax my body.
