The Ghost Heiress (On Hold)

Chapter 21. Sour people

Sang's POV:

I woke up to find only Gabriel lying in the bed with me, still sleeping, one blond lock of hair falling into his open mouth.

I started giggling and he woke up, spitting the hair from his mouth to glare at me.

"I see someone is already feeling better." He grumbled quietly, his voice sounding even deeper than usual.

I smiled at him as I began to take stock of my body. The pain had gone away, my throat was a little dry and when I moved too much I felt a little nauseous, but I was alive and moving.

"Definitely better." I told him, not wanting him to worry about something that was probably just the side effects from the poisoning.

It would pass.

He narrowed his eyes at me suspiciously but didn't say anything. Instead he sat up and moved to get up from the bed.

"Come on, you trouble-maker. It is already lunch time, let's go down to eat something." He said as he slipped both arms around me and hauled me over to his lap, hugging me tightly to his chest, his face hiding in my neck.

His kimono had fallen open in the front while we slept and my hands met warm, firm skin as he hugged me. I felt myself blushing to the roots of my hair but didn't pull back.

I felt him take a deep breath and shudder. I wrapped my arms around him just as tightly, wanting to give him whatever comfort I could.

"Don't you dare to die on me, Trouble." He mumbled against my neck. "I will have to drag you back to life by your hair if you do, and that would be a crime against such a pretty hair."

I smirked against his shoulder, "Your worry for my hair is heartwarming, Meanie."

He smacked my tight before helping me stand up. "Sure thing, Trouble. I am all warm feelings, soft words and shit."

He said it with a hint of sarcasm but I knew that with me and his brothers Gabriel was capable of both warm feelings and soft words.

We walked downstairs and I was pleasantly surprised to see that all of my boys were there.

Luke got up from the couch where he was sitting at and rushed over to me, almost tackling me to the floor. My stomach didn't appreciate his enthusiasm but I managed to control myself.

"Cupcake!" He exclaimed before letting me go and taking a quick step back, looking concerned, "Are you okay? Do you feel sick, are you in pain, do you need more chocolate?"

I blushed beet red realizing he also knew I was in my period. Did they all know?

Glancing around at the blushing faces I concluded that they did all know.

"I am fine, Luke. Just a little nauseous." I finally told him before anyone else tried to tackle me.

Sean immediately left the room, heading to the infirmary. North grumbled something under his breath and grabbed Luke by the back of his kimono, dragging him over to the kitchen.

Nathan and Silas stepped over to me, Silas reaching me first and pulling me delicately into a bear hug, making my feet leave the ground. "We were worried about you, Aggele." He said against my ear making me tremble against him.

Praying he didn't notice I answered "I will be fine, Silas. I am glad you are back."

He smiled and let me go, Nathan immediately putting his arms around me from behind, his face going to my neck as I lay my hands over his where they rested in my belly.
