Bring me flowers

Valentina’s P.O.V

“Excuse me?” I drawled, I’m not so sure I heard him properly, but he was thanking me, on my way here, I had thought about a lot of scenarios in my head but some word of gratitude and appreciation was not one of the things I had imagined.

“Would you please come closer?” His voice came out pleadingly and I paused for a while battling my thoughts, I wondered if this was not some imposter pretending to be Ethan or if this was some kind of strategy to make me let down my guard. “It’s difficult to talk when you’re standing so far away.”

I drew in a sharp breath and I took a few steps towards the bed, only stopping when I got to the foot of the bed, I’m not willing to ignore all the risks. This was a safe distance, even if he tries anything I could run for the door.

“You still haven’t told me the reason you asked to see me?” I reminded impatiently; but instead of answering me, he suddenly he pulled away the duvet from his body revealing his pair of long legs on the bed.
