Episode 50: Glam

Emily woke up to an empty bed.

She didn't know how she ended up there, especially in the one which wasn't hers. The last thing she remembered was dozing off in Nicholas' arms as he played with her hair lovingly. It had been so relaxing that in no time her eyes had fluttered close on their own accord. Before she knew it, the little wife had fallen asleep in his arms. He had been unwilling to unravel her from them. She was just too cute. The way her legs folded in between with her back against him and her head laying on his chest reminded him of an adorable kitten.

It took him the longest while to convince himself to take her up and carry her to the bed.

Sleeping on the couch wasn't very ideal for her health.

Nicholas found his willpower had broken as he realized his feet led him to the front of his bedroom instead of hers.

He looked down at the little woman in his arms, silently telling her to be understanding of him when she woke even though she couldn't hear it. Then, he entered and laid her gently down onto the comfy bed which she snuggled up in. He watched, eyes twinkling in adoration at her cuteness.

She just couldn't give his heart a break.

Like a magnet was pulling him to her, he found himself lying inside the bed within the next minute.

He turned his head to the side and stared at her beautiful side profile.

To this day he wondered what he did to have been blessed so abundantly.

Emily Pinault was the best thing he ever had happened to his life.

His fingers unknowingly wandered across her face. From the expanse of her smooth forehead, to the tall bridge of her nose down to those cherry lips which drove him insane. Her features were heavenly.

A relaxant was tied to her presence as she slept silently beside him, his entire body sagging whilst he shuffled closer and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Before falling asleep completely, he felt her cuddle up to him further and a content smile broke out across his face.

Having no recollection of all this, Emily sat up in the bed slightly confused.

Why was she in Nicholas' bedroom instead of her own?

Did he bring her here on purpose?

Had they slept together in the same bed?

Her cheeks were set aflame at the image which she conjured up of a bare-chested Nicholas holding her while she slept.

As she fanned her face, the girl found her eyes landing upon a piece of paper on the night table.

She reached for it as she scooted to the edge of the bed.

My dearest Emily,

Good morning. I hope you've had a good night's sleep because you're going to need it for today. I've already arranged everything for you to get ready. Just follow the instructions of Nanny Kim. David will come and pick you up when you're finished.

Love,
Nicholas.

The woman found herself blushing at the signature at the end.

It made the note not as detached as the one he had written when she first came here. The one which simply had only Nicholas at the end.

He could've simply put his name again. Without the endearing article before it, but he chose to. He made it his duty to make her see the journey his heart had undergone. Bravely and without regrets.
