Somniphobia

Chapter 50. Softy

Aria POV
I have been working for Caleb for a week now and it was very exhausting. Well it wouldn't be if I could get some actual sleep at night.

Caleb was not in his office again cause he had to attend a meeting once again. I hated these stupid meetings he had they always took so long and I couldn't interrupt them either.

Well I could Caleb told me I could come anytime but I didn't want to be rude and seem needy but I really wanna be needy and greedy for all his attention.

Sitting at this stupid desk made me tired and so bored. I finished everything I needed today and now I was just sitting bored on my phone watching stupid videos.

My eyes were burning with exhaustion they were literally tearing up cause I was so tired. I kept pinching myself to stop myself from falling asleep.

I pinched myself so hard I made myself bleed a little on my forearm. I wiped the blood away with a tissue so Caleb wouldn't notice that I was pinching myself.

He didn't like when I harmed myself and I didn't want him to see it or he would probably punish me for it hopefully I'm wrong about that assumption.

I got up from my seat having enough with waiting for him to come back from his meeting. It was taking way too long what could he possibly be talking about for two hours straight?

I made my way down the hall towards the elevators to go up to the eighteenth floor. The elevator doors closed playing a soft music as it went up slowly to the eighteenth floor.

The soft music made me even sleepier not helping me at all. I was getting so frustrated and angry right now and it didn't help that my anxiety was spiking up too and the only reason why it was acting up was because...

I missed Caleb. I wanted to take a nap in his arms which was crazy coming from me since I absolutely hate going to sleep because of my nightmares.

But it was different when I fell asleep in his arms. He made me feel so safe, so secure, and sleepy I could just sleep in his skin forever, if I could and didn't have these haunting nightmares ruining my sleep.

The elevator opened to the eighteenth floor I walked out making my way down the long hallway to the huge wooden doors that were like ten feet tall or something.

"Hi Mrs Blackwood." The receptionist greeted me politely. I smiled warmly at her and waved softly. "H-Hello R-Ronda." I said softly and proceeded to walk towards the conference room.

I took a deep breath before reaching forward and grabbing the door handles and opened the very heavy door. I had to use both my hands to open this freaking door.

Once I opened the door and walked inside I realized everyone had went silent and were now staring at me. My cheeks reddened crimson red and my heart began beating against my chest a 100 miles per hour.

I felt sweat forming on my forehead how awkward and uncomfortable I felt walking into this room with all these unknown men staring at me.

"Quit staring at my wife!" Caleb's voice rumbled throughout the entire room making me flinch at the sound of his dominating voice.

If I wasn't so scared I'd be smiling like an idiot right now because he called me his wife in front of everyone right now. All his men turned their heads the other way, some even looked down at their feet.

He stood up from his seat, making his way over to me. I subconsciously backed into the doors worried that he might have gotten angry with me cause I came in here and interrupted his meeting.

I knew I shouldn't have came in here but I just got so tired I couldn't help but come find him cause I need him. "Princess why are you here?" He asked me worriedly bringing me out of my own thoughts as I looked up at him.
