Arthur’s POV. My gaze met with Kelvin conversing with Iris in the ward and anger and jealousy filled my body instantly. I just didn’t like the idea of Iris smiling and being comfy with a male figure other than me. “Kelvin,” I called out and immediately he turned towards my direction to see why I had called him. “Man, can I have a word with you outside?.” “Is it very important?, I am so into this conversation with Iris.” He replied. I boiled in annoyance because of how he replied. “Man! Let’s go!” I commanded with a stern voice this time and my grip firm on his arm. Iris on the other hand stared at us wondering what was happening but I didn’t care, I could make up some stories to feed her with but my main priority at the moment was to see Kelvin. Soon I let go of Kelvin immediately we were out of the ward and before I could catch my breath, he inquired from me with a confused look plastered on his face. “Dude, what the actual fuck was that for?” “I need to talk to you and so
Kelvin’s POVI wondered how Arthur managed with Anna. She was as stubborn as a child. She refused to leave with me as she got to the parking lot where I waited for her.She went on and on suggesting ideas on why we could stay but I continued to explain none of her plans were going to be of help. Her brother, Arthur already made up his mind and there was nothing we could do.Finally, after the series of ridiculous plans from Anna and tons of disapproval from me. Anna eventually decided to go with me.Immediately, she got into the front seat of the car and also entered the driver's part, and zoomed off.For a while, the car was filled with unusual silence. I knew Anna was sad because she was never quiet at any time.“Anna,” I called out.She rolled her eyes at me and gave me no response.“Anna,” I spoke once again, this time I reached for her and tickled her. Soon, sounds of laughter filled the room.She chuckled more and more. On the other hand, I decided to take her to a nearby resta
Iris POVAfter my discharge from the hospital, Arthur kindly offered to take me home. I couldn't stop expressing my gratitude for everything he had done for me during my stay. It wasn't just about taking care of me physically; he had been a pillar of support and had brought joy to my otherwise dull hospital days.As we entered the familiar surroundings of Arthur's mansion, I sighed with relief. His home was where I truly belonged, and now, with Arthur by my side, it felt even warmer than ever. He suggested preparing a meal to aid in the healing of my eyes, and I thought it was a brilliant idea.“Arthur, thank you so much for being there for me,” I said, still feeling overwhelmed by his kindness.He smiled warmly. “It's my pleasure, Iris. You don't need to thank me. I'm just glad you're doing better now.”I insisted on helping him in the kitchen, not wanting him to do everything alone.“No Iris, you don't have to do this, you should be resting now.” he tried to stop me, but I insisted.
Iris POVMy eyes fluttered open and I gently rubbed them.I sighed and yawned widely, I was about to ring the bell that was just by the bedside to beckon on the maids when it hit me that there was no need, I could see! I chuckled excitedly and sprang to my feet.I did a little victory dance and couldn't stop laughing. I could see! I have no need for the maids, no need to be taken anywhere in the house, I don't have to depend on anyone before I move.I removed my clothes and went into the bathroom Stark naked, I didn't mind the fact that I had flung my clothes on the ground, I was beyond excited that for the first time in a very long time; I was going to bathe all by myself. I filled the bathtub with warm water, poured some spices in it, made a bubble bath and soaked myself in it.The feeling was different, I could see everything around me and I spent half an hour playing with the bubbles and bathing myself like I was some egg or baby.I dried myself with the towel and tied one around
Iris POV I was shocked as Arthur's mood suddenly changed. “Should I bring it to your room?” I yelled after him. But what kept mute and simply walked away. I was surprised and shocked as well, was he not feeling well? Did he not like the food? I shook my head. He couldn't have possibly detested the food and eat two servings, so I filled that possibility out. It then dawned on me that maybe he just didn't like talking about his parents, or it was weird to him. I thought about reasons he would not want to discuss his parents but couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, most men were always sensitive when it came to their families, so I concluded that he must have had a fight with them and feels uncomfortable when they were brought up in a conversation. Knowing this, I promised myself to never bring up the topic of his parents or family unless he first instigates it. I didn't want him to feel sad or uncomfortable around me. My thoughts ran wild as I repeated how sour his expr
Anna's POVSeeing the worried look on Iris's face, I decided to cover up the discussion and laughed.“Is he still locked up in his room?” I asked, diverting her attention from what had just happened.“Yes.” She replied sadly.I hummed softly and tapped my feet on the ground, she chuckled at this act of mine and I grabbed her hands, shocking her.“Follow me.” I said I'm a singsong tone.“Where to?” She asked, surprised.“To the beast's fortress, let's go knock until he opens up.” I said playfully.She shook her head and laughed softly.“Alright then, onward soldier!” She said playfully and we both laughed.We got to Arthur's doorstep and I knocked gently on the door. I got no response the first time and knocked again, this time louder.“It's no use, let's just go back.” Iris said, disheartened.I clicked my tongue and shook my head, there was no way I'd let him act like a tyrant and make the poor girl worried. Judging from the look on her face, it was obvious that she felt bad about be
Iris POVAnna ran after me as I angrily ran out Arthur's room, I wiped off the tears that rolled down my cheeks as Anna caught up with me, she stood in front of me and tries to catch her breath."Iris, you don't have to be this angry at Arthur." Anna said.I laughed bitterly."Are you here to defend him?" I asked sarcastically.She shook.her head and gently wiped my tears away."It hurts me to see you cry." She said softly."It's hard not to cry when you're being treated like a child." I replied."I know how you feel Iris but I'm sure hats not what he meant." "That's what he meant Anna, can't you see that he thinks I'm not capable enough of taking good care of myself? At first I thought it was because I couldn't see but now.that I've regained my sight what's stopping him from allowing me to work?""I'm sure he has his reasons and he knows what he's doing."I scoffed, was she trying to side him."I'm sure he does." I said sarcastically."But....." Anna drawled.I couldn't help but chu
Iris POVI stood there bewildered, unsure of what had just happened. It seemed more like a dream to me, a figment of my imagination. It would have been a dream save for the tingling sensation on my lips, they reminded me of the blissful moment that had passed yet lingering around.'Oh my god!' I quietly exclaimed, wondering what had just happened.I could but squeal happily, I had dreamt of those plum and madly inviting lips of Arthur since the day I set eyes on them but I had dismissed those thoughts as lewd and reminded myself that such would never happen, who knew that just a little provocation would make my dreams come through.Letting myself freely fall on the bed, I grabbed the pillow and happily hugged it, I was over the moon and couldn't explain exactly what I was feeling. One would think I was over-dramatic as I acted like a teenage fourteen years old girl who got her first kiss from her childhood crush, mine was more complicated as there was no active relationship between
