After a short while, I arrived at my mansion. I walked inside and headed straight to her room, my footsteps echoing through the quiet halls. As I approached her room, I took a deep breath, steeling myself for whatever I was about to find

I pushed the door a bit and saw she was sitting on her bed while hugging her knees, looking at the window and the night sky. I stopped at the doorway and watched her quietly from afar. My heart squeezed a bit as I saw her sitting on the bed, hugging her knees and staring out the window at the night sky, I stood there for a moment, my eyes taking in her small, fragile figure. I knew I should just turn and leave, but I found myself unable to do so.. Instead, I found myself walking towards her

I moved closer to the bed, my steps silent as I approached her. I sat down on the edge of the bed, my gaze still fixed on her small form. I felt a strange mix of emotions welling up inside me

Concern

Pity

And strangely, tenderness.

She looked at me and mumbled, "Oh you came"

My eyes met her gaze, my eyes locking with hers, I saw the weariness and sadness in her eyes, and it stirred something within me, I nodded slightly,

"Yeah, I came. Are you.. are you doing alright, doll?"

"I am" she replied softly

"Are you sure? Cause you don't sound too good to me"

"No I'm good, how about you ?"

"Me? I'm fine, just a bit tired I guess" I replied and I noticed she was staring at me for too long

"Uhm, are you.. drunk?" She asked finally

"Just had a few drinks at the bar" I said with a dry chuckle

"Then you should rest"

"Are you worried about me doll?" I asked and chuckled faintly

"Eh? I mean.. umm"

A smirk tugged at the corners of my lips. I could see she was trying not to smile, I leaned a bit, my gaze fixed on her face as I spoke, "Are you shy, doll?"

"Shy? ehhehe nooo"

"But I can see that you're hiding your face"

"G-go to your room and s-sleep!"

"What if I want to stay here with you?"

She widened her eyes and said, "W-what ?"

"What are you going to do about it?" I asked while smirking

"Umm, Okay then you can sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor"

Huh??

Is she serious????

"Sleep on the floor? No way, doll. I'm not letting you sleep on the cold and hard floor"

I patted the spot next to me on the bed and said, "We can share the bed, It's big enough for both of us, you know"

"N-no thanks-"

"Why not? You don't want to share the bed with me?"

"No"

"Why not, doll?.. Afraid of what might happen if we share a bed together?" I said in a teasing tone

"What the.. stop!"

"Stop what? I'm just teasing you a bit"

Suddenly she stood up and took a pillow, and laid down on the floor while saying, "Good night"

"What the fuck are you doing?!"

"Playing football??" She said in a sarcastic tone

"I didn't realize you had turned into a soccer player in the last two minutes" I said in a mocking tone and she made a moai-like face

"You're looking like an Easter Island statue" I said while chuckling

"Shut up" she murmured

"Oh?" I lied down on the floor and my face was hovering over her face

"What the fuck you're doing on the floor?!"

"Can't a guy lie down on the floor if he wants to?" I whispered while smirking

I reached out my hand to brush a stray strand of hair away from her face, my touch was gentle despite my sarcastic tone

"Mister you're drunk-"

"I've definitely had a few drinks, but I'm not drunk. I know exactly what I'm doing" I whispered again as my face was almost inches from her, my breath was fanning her face

"You're doing these purposefully?"

"Doing what purposefully? Lying on the floor with you? Or being this close to your face?" I tilted my head, my eyes were locked with hers, my fingers tracing delicate patterns on her skin

"You know what you're doing"

"Shh, just sleep now" I whispered and wrapped my hand around her waist
