To Keep Her Safe

CHAPTER FOURTY FIVE

Freen stirred in her sleep as she felt some additional weight on her chest, she opened her eyes slightly. She felt an immense headache, the doctor provided her herbs to sleep and to get relief from the pain. She looked down on her chest and found someone peacefully sleeping, using her chest as a pillow.

" Becca.. ". Freen mumbled softly, she relaxed as the weight she felt faded into nothingness as it was her lover, the person she would do anything for in this world. It was as if Becca felt Freen moving in her sleep, her lips formed a small pout unconsciously as her sleep was disturbed.

" Did I do something wrong ? Hm ? ". Freen wondered, she placed her finger on Becca's nose and kissed her forehead. " Thank you for still choosing my arms to sleep in ". Freen smiled as she caressed Becca's hair, the pain in her body was long forgotten, having Becca in her arms was the only thing she needed.

Becca was still pouting so Freen kissed her nose and hugged her tightly, glueing her lover to her chest and closing her eyes once again to have the best sleep of her life.

In the morning, Becca woke up first and was shocked to find out that she was locked with Freen's body. Freen had wrapped Becca in a tight embrace which almost made it impossible to get out of. Becca sighed and gave up as she herself enjoyed being wrapped up in Freen's arms, her nostrils caught the scent of Freen again which made her heart flutter.

The heat gathered up in Becca's face and she was sure that she was blushing at the moment. She observed the rhythmic movement of Freen's chest as she peacefully breathed and slept like a baby. Her eyes travelled to Freen's face, she found it hard to control the urge to run her fingers through her hair like she used to, her face frowned when she noticed light bruises on her face. Her thoughts took her towards the pain she must have gone through to get back here.

" Are you enjoying the view, Teerak ? ". The voice reached her ears, it was Freen, her eyes stared at Freen's, she was already looking back at Becca with a hint of happiness in her voice. " You were awake ? ". Becca asked, she was embarrassed that she was caught by Freen when she was busy staring at her.

" I have been awake since you started moving around ". Freen answered Becca's question, Becca's cheeks turned the brightest shade of red which made Freen chuckle. " Teerak, you know I am all yours to look at ". Freen added which made Becca more flushed, hearing Freen address her as 'Teerak' after a year was a dream but wrong at the same time.

" Freen.... ". Becca weakly mumbled which equipped Freen's interest and got her worried. " Is everything alright ? Did something happen ? ". Freen immediately asked, it was a stab to Becca's heart, knowing that Freen was extremely protective towards her and knowing that she won't be able to feel that protection anymore.

" There were some changes in your absence, Freen ". Becca started explaining to Freen, knowing that she had to come clean at some point, deciding that it was the right opportunity before Freen hears it from someone else.

" Yeah, I saw the development in the east village on my way to the palace, you have done a great job, Teerak ". Freen smiled as she thought that the changes Becca meant were about the village, she was proud of Becca as she did not ignore the east village after the war, she ran a hand through Becca's hair, appreciating her.

" No, there were changes in my life, my personal life ". Becca added, Freen stopped and stared at Becca for a second. " What are you trying to say, Becca ? ". Freen tried to sit up as the conversation was starting to get serious in her opinion, Becca sighed and laid a flat hand on Freen's chest, forcing her to lay back down as it was not good for her condition.

" What I am trying to say here, Freen, is that this can't happen anymore ". Becca stated as she tried to get up from Freen's bed, Freen immediately held Becca's hand, stopping her to move away from her. " Becca, what is happening ? Just be honest with me ". Becca instantly freed her hand from Freen's grasp, at the same moment the door to the medical room opened and Rose stepped in, huffing for her air.
