Celia's POV
He is riveted on me for a very long time as if he find my eyes so interesting. The long stare contained a glimpse of admiration or am I imagining things? When I tried to avert my eyes which his intense gaze held, he pulled me closer by waist. He took my hand in his other large hand and made me touch his cheek with my finger tips, something I did when I woke up from a nightmare. Then he laid my full palm on the side of his face. He closes his taking a deep breath. "This is for real. " He mumbled as if the whole thing that is happening in our life is once an impossible thing. The yellow colour on my hands now made a print on his cheeks.
I smiled watching his guards down. It became painful when he simply stared at me again and took no further step especially when things are heating up. I placed my hands on his bare chest drawing circles just to tease him. He pulled me more closer and yanked me up to me
Celia’s POV Things are not same anymore. I once told myself they there will be no chance I am going to leave my house and move in with someone else. And god decided otherwise. I am here lying on his chest thinking of what is going to happen to us and what exactly is happening to us. We are clearly not being just physical and now we have a bond by law. I am happy and calm, nothing is bothering me right now. The house rent, the bills, the maintenance and little things that makes you want to escape from the robotic life. My professional life is not that bad apart from Alex insisting me to take the admission for art school. I am still rejecting the offer. I don't know. Nothing that makes me happy stayed for longer time in my life. If anyone came and ask what are we, I still have no answers. We never confessed that we love each other. Sometimes, it feels like we don't even have to confess. H
Celia's POV I felt a soft touch of his lips on my cheek. I moved slightly and adjusted myself into the comforter. He placed a kiss again on my forehead. I smiled inwardly, my eyes didn't really support to witness that mesmerizing sight. I woke up to the beam of rays directly hitting my face through the glass window. Rubbing my eyes,I tried to scan my surroundings. He is no where to find. The place next to me on the bed has no folds or no sign of his presence. Not even the scent. I could not distinguish what I felt is for real or a dream. As soon as I opened my phone, the first thing that caught me is the message from 'unknown' number. I don't know if I could ever give him a designation in my phone. "They require me in London for an emergency meeting. I will be back in three days. You were sleeping peacefully. I don't wanna wake you up. Call you once I
Celia's POV The entire night,all I have is images of two young men who played enough role in screwing my life. One is in the picture laughing with the woman I despise the most. The other is acting odd. What did he say to me? I am more than what he is making me to do? What does that supposed to mean? And why all of a sudden, he is acting like a queer fish? I did threaten him though,that won't stop him from spreading the news and the very thought of going to Willow Green while everyone starts to look at me like I am some gold digger and the vision of spotlights on me started to got me at sixes and sevens. As much as I was terrified to see the daylight tomorrow, it didn't stop me from waiting for his response for what was going on the media. The wait doesn't end it seems. &nb
Celia's POV The atmosphere around me is oddly cool and we both are painfully silent. As the cool breeze kissed my skin, I wanted to snuggle in his wide chest. Since he stretched his arm to wrap it around my shoulder, his entire body now look not less than a soft mattress, although it is not that soft. But I know,if I lie on his chest, I will feel safe, and secured for sure. For some reason,I could not get myself to do that. I am fidgeting to decide whether I should do it or not. As if he read my mind, he pulled me closer by the hand he wrapped around my shoulder and made my head lay on his chest. His hand is still around me. He brings the other hand to caress my cheek. I didn't waste another second to hold him by wrapping my hand around his stomach. "It killed me to see you like that. " He whispered in my ears drawing circles on my cheek with his thum
Celia's POV "Celia, are you paying attention?" "Dr. Celia?" "Celia?" Someone shook my shoulder gently. "Celia?" I suddenly came out of daze I have been overwhelmed with till now. "Yes?" Everyone around me are watching bewildered. The chief surgeon, (we call him chief, 'cause he usually commands rather than explain), the head of our team, Garrett, Lillian and other junior doctors. "Are you paying attention?" The chief questioned with a little serious tone. Of course,he has to. We are talking about lives here. "Yes. The patient has arrhythmia. His heart is beating more rapidly than normal rate and we have to……" "He has Brad
Celia's POV If my brain is another living being with the potential to harm, it would have crushed me into pieces. For three years, I have not thought of any other things except work and home. Now I am doing both but thinking, precisely, I must say overthinking. He could've just confessed that he loves me and I wouldn't be messing with my head right now. I am too preoccupied with the word lust. What if it is true, what if he is lying, what if he leaves when he is tired of fucking me, and the list of questions proceeded by what-ifs goes on. The ding sound of the elevator made me want to cringe. I've been doing a lot of talking to myself that the person who just entered could easily notice that by seeing right through me. I didn't lift my head out of mere embarrassment. My eyes caught the finely polished shoes that would cost a great deal. The elevator door closed. The person has not pressed any button. He is still standing facing me. Something about
Celia's POV "Celia? What are you doing here? Lillian has called. She said you suddenly vanished from the hospital. Alexander told you were with him. When I asked he said you were sleeping. How come you are here? Did something happen? You look pale." The word worry is written all over Sasha's face. She could hardly breathe after all those questions. "I passed out." "What?" Her hand rested on her chest with a sudden gasp. She cupped my face-scanning it to read my feeling. "Sit down. When was the last time it happened? Two and a half year ago." Just like me, she recalled those incidents when I used to have panic attacks and all sorts of sicknesses. "What happened?" She breathes taking my hands in her. "I saw Christopher." Her eyes could no longer mask the terror. "Did he tried anything to do? You alright? What does he want?" Sasha started to check my body searching for any possible scars. " I don't know what he wants. I don't think
Celia’s POV There is no way in the world; a man like Alexander King would look so cute while he actually ‘blushes.’ You heard me. He blushes burying his head in the crook of my neck in an apparent embarrassment. I laughed loudly. That’s what I did in the half of the time while we were making love or fucking hard. “So, every time when you said you wanted to make things work between us, you wanted to confess that you love me. But you are too shy to admit that?” He still can’t say that. He is too shy. We are still lying naked across the king sized bed. It’s in the middle of the process of reaching the pinnacle, he said those words, “Every time I wanted to do anything for you, I mean this and not the other way around.” “What do you mean by this?” “The thing you just confessed.”
