Lonely Bride

SARAH’S POV

“Alright, you take a rest while I arrange other things. And Sam, you finished the packing.” He said this, looking at Sam while she nodded.

“Do not nod. Just start now. I will not wait for you if you’re not done with your and my packing.” He said it arrogantly.

“Why would I have to do your packing?” He asked irritatingly.

“Because I say so,” he said cockily, and I was looking at Tom and Jerry and enjoying the show.

“Do it, or else I will leave you here alone.” He said that, and she huffed in irritation but left finally.

She knows very well that he will never do such a thing. She leaves no chance to get irritated for no reason.

We both giggled the moment she left, stomping her feet.

“By the way, we must go to Sean’s office tomorrow to sign the contract.” He reminded me again, and I nodded in agreement.

Ok, then, you pamper your grumpy kid, and I arrange our departure.” He spoke. I nod while smiling and walk up to see my grumpy.

As I reach the room, I notice it is dark. All the curtains are closed, and so are the lights. I tried to turn on the lights, but I could see a figure half lying on the bed. I padded towards him after locking the door behind me and sat on the bed near him.

“Sean..” I called out his name, but before I said anything, I heard “no.”.

I could not control my smile, but thanks to the Haven lights being off, or else it would have fuelled his anger more.

“Listen to me, baby.” I love him.

“I said, Sarah, NO means no, and let us not argue about it.” He deadpans his discussion.

Huffing, I closed my eyes and calmed my mind.

Opening my eyes, I got up from my position and lay back on the bed, keeping my head on his chest.

I could hear his heartbeat: dub-dub, dub-dub… I know what he is feeling now. He is scared of me leaving him.

I want to tell him the truth, but again, what should I do when he is not ready to listen?

So, I just kept on listening to his heartbeat until it did not normalize.

I felt his arms on my body, and I know now he is relaxing a little.

“Please do not go.” He murmured pleadingly, and tears pooled in my eyes.

“I am not going anywhere,” I said in a low voice.

“Then why are you going back?” He asked

“So, I can come back to you forever,” I said while tilting my head to his face, and I could see his twinkling eyes looking down at me.

“Are you serious? He asked, looking surprised, or May was shocked, as he hadn’t thought I would say this ever.

“As serious as ever,” I said, a small smile on my lips, and then I felt his wet lips laced with mine as he nibbled them one by one.

I reciprocate with the same feeling of being loved and cared for.

He slowly but gently shifted our position, and now he heard me while keeping a safe distance as my hand was still on my chest and the plaster was supported by my neck.

We both ate each other like hungry wolves, completely ignoring my injured arm.

“Sarah, what are you doing to me?” He asked me, and I have no answer for his question because I have the same question for him.

“Let us stop this here before my mind and heart completely lose control over my body,” he hummed in my ear.

I whine in irritation, but I know he is right. It might hurt me and let us not forget that my shoulder hurts like a bitch.

He giggled, looking me down. “Do not worry, darling; a few more days and this time will pass too.” He assures me like a mother assures her child.

I nodded my head while biting my lips to control my smile.

Gosh, I never thought being loved would be so much fun. It is not fun; it is my ease. Something that I had never felt before.

I would like to enjoy every bit of what I am getting.

“Sean, I wanted to talk to you about something.” I said once that I remembered something important to talk about, which I was getting annoyed about quite a bit nowadays.

“You have all my ears, babe.” He spoke, but his face was still on the crock of my neck, and I could feel small, small kisses all over there.

“But first, you must promise me you will do as I say,” I said.

“Are you again planning to run away from me?” He asked, cooking his eyebrows.

I giggle when I hear this: “Why do I run away from the sexiest man alive?” I asked, while holding his shocked face.

“I do not know.” He said this while shrugging his shoulders.

“When you do not know, then do not speak rubbish because I am not going anywhere,” I said, smiling.

“Then what do you want?” He inquired out of curiosity.

Hmmm, you know, babe, I understand your concern about my security, but honestly, these so many bodyguards make me sick; I feel very uncomfortable around them,” I said while whining. But his look said he would not back off on this.

“I am not saying you take down the security. I am just saying keep one person or max two. I am sure you have that capable man who can safeguard me single-handed.” Finally, I pushed his buttons, and I know I have won the half-game.

“Darling, if you are thinking while challenging me by saying I am keeping so many guards around you because I think one is not enough to keep you safe, then there might be a misunderstanding here. I know they are well capable of keeping you safe, but I do not want to take any chances.” He shook his head while saying this.

‘This man is too cunning for my liking. I do not know why he thinks I need so much security.’ I pouted, thinking, and he kissed my lips.

“Do not touch me. I am not talking to you anymore.” I said, showing fake anger.

“Babe, listen to me.” He again tried to make me understand his point, but now I am not only frustrated but tired as well.

“Do not babe me. Do as you please. Now excuse me, I am sleeping.” I push him a little so he can go to his side. Gosh, this man is too heavy.

“Ok fine. I will take the security down, but Nora will be with you like a shadow. Is it ok with you?” He finally huffed in frustration and came to the settlement.

“Absolutely.” I squealed in happiness.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Ok, now my little bird sleeps, he said while packing on my forehead.

I nod in agreement and close my eyes, taking his large hands in my embrace.

“Are you hungry, baby?” He muttered in my ear.

“No, I am tired and want to sleep.” I mummer back.

“Sleep tight, my love.” He spoke slowly, and I know he is also sleepy. Every time, new endearments win my heart.

I got up at night, but my stomach was telling me to put some fuel in it.

The room lights were dim, and the temperature was pleasant, but Sean was not around anywhere.

Getting down from my bed, somehow my legs padded towards the window, and I saw so many twinkling lights far away from our home.

That reminds me that Christmas is coming.

I remember how I used to celebrate every year with Nathan and Sam. They both have never let me feel alone, but no matter how much they have tried, somehow somewhere I have felt something is missing.

Something has been left behind.

But what? I do not know.

But this year, I want to celebrate Christmas with Sean.
