THE DARKNESS enveloping the room and the small light coming from the lamp on the bedside table are the main companions she has in her wakefulness in the middle of the night.
Her attention was darted on the ceiling above her. She has woken up again from a dream that she couldn't remember. These dreams started recently, just a few days ago.
The dreams would feel really familiar to her. As if she was reliving a certain moment again. But then, it would slip from her mind the second she opened her eyes. No trace of any scene from that dream was left in her mind.
But there was one thing that was constant with having those dreams. The satisfying pounding of her heart and the heat she could feel in her face whenever she woke up.
She knew that it was a really lovely dream. She just wished that she could remember them.
She shifted to her side and pillowed herself on her own arms.
The adult Phoenix really looked handsome in his sleep. He was cuddling their son while giving off some light breathing while sleeping. They looked so good together that it's melting her heart.
Nix was pillowing his father's biceps and clutching his small hands to his shirt. Phoenix's other arm was securing their baby's back. Mini Peony, Nix's marshmallow horse plushy was lying behind Nix, in front of her.
Nix stirred which startled her a little and her reflexes went ahead to pat Nix lightly on his leg. He immediately calmed down and went back to sleep.
She couldn't help but find the two really adorable. She had always wanted to smooch Nix's cheeks and kiss the plump delicious looking lips of...his...father.
She blinked fast when she recalled her own thoughts. She didn't notice that she was staring at Phoenix's lips for a long time now.
'It is confirmed...I have officially lost my brain somewhere.'
But it's probably not illegal because...he is her husband after all...
But after a few months of living with him together, she's having doubts if she really is tied with him. Like, he hadn't done 'anything'... to her, literally.
She imagined that he would do anything that a husband does to her wife like...maybe kissing and a little intimate hugging...but nothing! He has done nothing at all! And he kissed her at that hospital for goodness sake!
She's never like this. Like she's desperate for something but she has no idea what exactly she was desperate for.
And she can still remember that delicious sensation of his lips pressed against hers even until this moment.
Of course, she didn't want to take the initiative because it was really super awkward to do things like that to a person who you didn't really know...
But what's worse is her wanting him to do that again to her...she couldn't understand it...she's looking for them unconsciously...she wants to hug him, for some unknown reason...she wants him to be close to her for some unknown reason...she wants him to kiss her...for some terribly unknown reason.
'Arggghhh!!!' It's the middle of the night and she's thinking about these stuffs.
Jewel closed her eyes and puffed out a frustrated exhale.
It's really hard losing some of your memories. You missed out on a lot of things, you're clueless about the changes going on around you and to the people you encountered...and there are familiar yet unrecognizable emotions lingering inside of you.
