I can hardly remember after what happened between the two of us in the car because my eyelids were closing on their own from exhaustion.I even managed to take a shower and eat with Edmund before going to sleep, but the next day I still felt tired.I think I feel a little sick because of the rain yesterday.Edmund as usual just waited for me to wake up. He delivered breakfast so we didn't have to go down."Are you alright?" he asked as we walked.I requested that we tour the hotel and its surroundings so he is my tour guide.I grinned even though my head hurt and gave him a thumbs up.He put his arm around me and continued to show other parts of the hotel. Every now and then he gives a brief history and background, just like the paintings in the hallway we passed. He said that they were only antiques and replicas because the original was kept by his mother who collects antique artworks.I don't know much about art but I can say that it is beautiful. I wouldn't be surprised if he says
I felt better after a few hours, so Edmund preferred that we stay at the hotel.Before lunch, we took a dip in the jacuzzi and if I wasn't hungry, he might have never stopped taking me over again.I can't count how many times we've done 'that' because I give in immediately to his every touch."Smile!" I yelled at Edmund.I followed that up with a laugh to entice him to laugh too but his deep gaze stayed on me.I let go of the camera after taking a few shots of him and took a picture of the two of us."Your hand is mine."I extended my hand and waited for his.We were at the pool side and because he didn't want to leave me, we sat next to each other on the sun lounger.I was always smiling at the polaroid camera while he was serious about all my shots.He put his big hand on me.I raised our holding hands and took a picture of it with the blue sky.I kept quiet for a while to wait for the photo to come out. I excitedly moved it around until it was colored. Edmund, on the other hand, is
I woke up when I realized what happened. I felt dizzy but I managed to immediately turn around to get away from him.I tousled my hair and marched to the bathroom wearing only cycling shorts.I locked the door and for some unknown reason tears started to fall.I stared at my reflection in the mirror.Because I don't have make up, my face is more pale. I looked like a walking vampire.I wiped my tears and washed myself."Why are you crying, Lily?" I asked myself weakly.Why? I also do not know. It must be the pregnancy hormones."Lily, what's wrong with you?" I heard Klein knock on the door.I remained silent.What's happening to me? I do not know. Maybe because I'm hungry?I went straight to the walk-in closet because there was a door connecting there and the bathroom.I chose a flowy sleeveless dress. The length then reached the height of my knees. I just let the slippers on.I went back to the door several times but I couldn't open it.Just as I was about to walk to approach the doo
I was so ashamed of what I saw that it felt like I was being rocked when Edmund’s gentle stroking of my hair was the first thing I felt when I woke up."Did I wake you up?" he asked weakly.I shook my head and adjusted to snuggle up to him to feel the heat from there more.I don't know how but I was sitting on his arm and his leg was resting on mine.We slept apart last night, huh? I even turned my back.I swallowed a few times and quickly looked up at him when I felt something hard in my stomach.He looked away and suddenly whistled."Is it really like that in the morning?" I couldn't stop asking."Without you, no."I laughed softly."Maybe you watch the CDs in the morning so-""Why did you know that? It was just before! In high school!""Asus pretend you're still there. There's a lot of it, just high school?""Yes. Just high school."I pushed him and then adjusted sitting on the bed still facing him."Oh really? Why in college? You must have been with a lot of girls, right?"He also
I turned off my cellphone and placed it on my lap."Nothing, just a friend."The corner of his lips rose and he sneered at me sarcastically."Friend."My eyes immediately narrowed due to irritation."It's a friend! Am I not allowed to make friends anymore-""I didn't say anything like that, Lily.""But why are you so angry-""You smile when you talk to your friend!""What's wrong with that. Do you want me to cry then-“"I'm jealous!"I was speechless for a moment and couldn't move where I was sitting.He violently washed the palm of his face and turned his back on me."W-What... H-Huh?"I must be going crazy. I didn't drink alcohol?"Nothing..."A few moments of silence passed. I just stared at his back.Did I hear right?"Are you jealous?"He didn't answer."W-Wait... Are you seriously jealous?" I still can't believe my question.My eyes widened even more and the worms in my stomach argued. I feel like I'm going to throw up hearts at any moment.My heart was beating so fast that I ch
Things were happening fast. Jeff kept me behind him, hidden in the tree while he made sure no one could get close to us. Roy does the same in the distance. The sound of a wheel braking suddenly came. Roy cursed harshly and ran towards us while still shooting. "They're getting more and more! Get Miss Lily away from here, go to the backup care!" breathless, he still managed to shout. "But y-you have blood on-" "Come on Miss." "Roy-" "Come with Miss Lily." I could do nothing but tear up and be stunned as Jeff dragged me away. I can barely walk because my legs are getting weak. It must have hurt because not only once did I almost trip and trip over a rock while running. "Sorry Miss." My eyes widened as Jeff lifted me over his shoulders like a sack of rice and ran to a car. Before that could stop completely, someone opened the door and three muscular men came down. "Miss Lily, Jeff, Mr. Edmund is coming because he said his wife is in the safe house." They chatted and talked in a
I was still pretending to be asleep. I didn't open my eyes until I heard footsteps going away. I heard a deep sigh next to me so I slowly opened my eyes to see who it was. Edmund's dark eyes greeted me. His appearance is tough. "H-Hi..." I said. My throat felt dry. He acted easily and without saying a word handed me the water he poured from a jug on the table not far from the hospital bed. "Drink first." I took the glass but he was still supporting my every move. I finished a glass of water and then handed it back to him. "T-Thank you..." He took the glass and stood up to put it back on the table. "Get some rest, Lily." I snorted immediately. "But I've been resting for a long time..." How many days have I been here and it feels like a decade? I did nothing but sleep, answer the doctor and eat. I caught up with Edmund when I woke up but he was also leaving. He sighed and returned to my side. He gently caressed my hair so that I stared at his tense jaw. Is he angry? "How
I turned my back on the bed for a while but was still sleepy so I got up to take a look at Edmund's situation. He was lying on the sofa, although it wasn’t big enough for him.I told him that he can sleep on the bed, next to me, after all, we fit, but he refused. Afraid that he’d hit my wound again.The doctor said it will heal in one to two weeks. The wound is deep and because it was brought to the hospital too late, it is said that it will heal more slowly.I stared at Edmund's peaceful face while sleeping.His brave appearance when awake is the opposite now that he is sleeping. I wanted to reach out and caress his slightly stubbled cheek but I restrained myself and contented myself with looking at him.Something heavy suddenly hit my chest.He's close but it seems like he's far away.That was the content of my mind until I fell asleep and woke up the next day.Edmund and I ate together and then the nurse came for the medicines I needed to take.They agreed to discharge me after thr
