His Queen

Closer Binds

Author's Note: So, I am having a hard time thinking of the title for this chapter. But while re-reading all the finished chapters of the story, I think it is time for them to be closer for real:-) I am quite excited on how things will go for both of them, some succeeding chapters are also drafted for continuous updates. Enjoy reading. 

Love: Red

Isabella felt warm breaths gently blowing on her face. You slowly opened your left eye to check what it is, but that wasn't an it... It's him, still sleeping calmly under his blanket which covered half his body. His face looks so calm when sleeping, making him more handsome and irresistible. You did not felt him coming to bed last night, maybe the tiredness from yesterday's events made you so flat exhausted that you slept so deep and did not even felt your husband coming home. The bright rays of the sun slowly taking over the darkness of the room, creating a clearer frame for you to see. You didn't move yet and just allowed yourself to be indulged by the sight of the man sleeping beside you. His stoic face which he showed most of the time can't be found now, all that is left to see is his relaxed face- looking like an angel. You can't help but smile at the thought that this will be your daily morning routine, being able to stare at him that close. The thought made you blush, a little giggly like a fangirl seeing her crush in close proximity. 

Then you realized something, you aren't wearing your bra! That made you startle and panic a little, never in your whole life that you allowed yourself be half naked in front of a man. Its so foolish of you to wear that kind of dress knowing you already share a room with him. You hide yourself under the blanket, pulling it slowly up to your neck, as Tobirama's foot ran over it. Your movements seem to have him awakened, his eyes half open looking at you, while yours widened seeing him awoke, that made you feel all the heat on your body rushed to your face. His forehead furrowed a little, looking amused. The most logical thing you thought to do was to close your eyes, but you will look stupid, so you decided to just give him a smile. He rubbed his eyes and returned a wider smile to you, almost looking like a grin. 

"I'm sorry I have interrupted your sleep," you are the first one to initiate a conversation, as it is the most logical thing to do to ease the awkwardness of the situation. 

"Nah, that is fine. I was already awake and just opened my eyes when you started to move, princess."

"Ohh," you just uttered in disbelief when you thought you are the first to be awakened. 'So he just pretend to sleep and just waited for me to be awake?, you thought silently. Then he smiled slyly, yawned a little and stretched his muscled arms up in the air before standing up.

"What time did you came home last night, Lord Tobirama?" you inquired, sitting on the bed, still holding the blanket to cover your upper body. 

"Hmm, please, just call me by my name. I feel old when you address me like that," he laughed softly. "I am not really sure about the time, but when I arrived, you were sleeping soundly, and I don't want to disturb you from your rest because I know yesterday was tiring."

"Ohh, I see. Well, I was really tired and sleepy that I did not wait for your arrival," you said, also laughing softly. 

He gave you a suspicious look, before flashing on another grin. You're flustered by his actions right now, he seems to have a good mood. 'Is it something about the reports they dealt with last night?' you thought. "So, how was the report last night?" you decided to ask. 

" I will tell you about it later, in the meantime, I think you also need to stand up and prepare for the day. I took a day off from work so I will be able to accompany you today. We have some itineraries to attend," he said as his eyes went down your covered body, making you tighten the grip on the blanket.
