The next morning, sapphire was the first one who woke up from her sleep due to birds chirping. She held her head in her both hands and groaned as her head was feeling heavy and will soon burst from pain.
She tried to get up, but something was holding her still. Likewise, she felt something on her neck, when she opened her eyes, she was shocked to find Rowan nibbling on her neck. Not only that, but she was looking at him and then realized that his light stubble was poking her skin.
She was busy in admiring him when sudden reality hit her. What if he again shouts on her? Her heart beat increased with his closed proximity. She was looking pale, long forgotten her headache. She has no idea how, in the hell, she reached here in his arms. Not only that, but she was supposed to be asleep in the balcony, which was her only place.
Did something happen last night? She got curious.
She tried removing his grip around her, but he was too strong to be pushed by this fragile rabbit of his. Furthermore, she starts pushing his bare chest with all her strength, but all in vain. Likewise, she has no strength and power to push him more, so she stayed still. His arms were tightly wrapped around her in a protective way. As if he were protecting her from the world, but what about him?
Who will protect her from him???? She starts sweating, thinking about the consequences of being in his arms. Rowan groaned in his sleep, feeling some pushes on his chest. He dug his face more I side her neck and tighten his hug around her. She was shivering badly, she is afraid of him, of his anger, what if he slaps her again?
“Nooooooooo” unconsciously she shouts in fear.
Rowan not aware of his rabbit struggling felt irritated in sleep as someone is shouting. He opened his eyes and was going to shout on the person, when his eyes fell on his beautiful wife who was struggling against his hold holding his biceps. He smiled at her fearful face and came out of her neck. Furthermore, he loosened his grip around her and as soon as his grip loosened she jumped down from the bed fearfully standing beside the bed and looking down. Likewise, he was looking at her numb face, while she was not in her good state to say anything or do anything. Not only that, but he didn't miss the fear on her beautiful face.
She was tired and not feeling well, but all her suffering are long back because of his anger. She was afraid of him more than her health.
Before he could say something, she jumped in and said“ i… I don't…don't know, ho…how i cameee here. I don't rem…remember anything…. Furthermore, I am so… Sorry… Please… Please trust me… I don't know how I am here… " She stuttered and starts crying.
ROWAN : you don't remember anything?
Sapphire : i really…don…don't know… I promise… I remember I was…with gran…granny in…her room…
ROWAN : you were drinking in granny's room?
Sapphire looked down in guilt, she has never drank anything, but granny forced her…
ROWAN : didn't you hear what I asked?
She starts sobbing hearing his loud voice and said in a babyish voice“ I refused her… But…but she insisted a lot. That's why… "
With that, she again starts crying.
Rowan shouted,“ shut up and clean your face."
She stopped crying and wiped her face with her backhands like a baby. She is seriously a baby. Not only that, but she is so childish, thought rowan, admiring her without her knowledge.
ROWAN : did you seriously forget anything? He asked seriously this time…
Sapphire : did…did I do something wrong? A
She asked, there was fear on her face, thinking what if I have really done something wrong?
He stood up from his king-sized bed in his boxers and move towards her. He was taking steps forward, and she was backing away from him, until her back hits the wall. She looked down and clutch her pj in her tight fist while he placed his veiny muscular arms on either side of her head on the wall, making her knees weak. His manly fragrance hit her nostrils and she became conscious about her own.
He looked at his rabbit and ordered in his morning husky voice“ look at me" Slowly, she moves her lashes upwards and her eyes directly landed on his chest, which didn't satisfy him.
He moves his head near her ear and said in a cold and husky voice, “in my eyes”.
She was trembling like a leaf, her tearful orbs met his dark ones so calmly, which makes her blush. Her cheeks were red not from shyness but nervousness that what will he say now?
Rowan : you will never ever drink with anyone, got that? Nor with granny, neither with your friends…
He ordered sternly, never wanted someone to see that side of his rabbit.
She nodded like an obedient child.
ROWAN : if you ever wanted to drink again, you can tell me. I will make arrangements, and you will drink in front of me only, got that?
Sapphire cried at his accusations and said,“ i am not like that. I don't drink. I want to avoid drinking. " She justified.
ROWAN : I have seen it yesterday…
He replied mockingly.
Sapphire : it was not my intentions to drink. It was because of granny.
She cried desperately.
Her tears were doing something in his heart. Her tears were making him weak, which never happened before, then why now?
He wiped her tears with his thumb and said calmly this time,“ you will never drink again, not even mistakenly nor by someone's force. When you drink, you become something else, not your shy type. This is only for your own good. I would rather not share that side of yours with someone's else. Did you get it? " He orders strictly.
His sudden possessiveness did something to sapphire's heart. Her innocent heart starts beating faster than ever with his strange confession. She stayed still until he moved out of her way.
He was going inside the bathroom when she called him,“ Rowan? "
He just hummed, not moving an inch…
Sapphire : how did I behave last night? She asked, playing with her fingers.
ROWAN : like“ My BELAMOUR".
With that, he went inside the bathroom, but not before asking her to take some rest…
“My Belamour " this word is ringing in her mind and heart. Her body was numb. She was standing there like a statue until he came back from the washroom and settled down himself on his bed to sleep again.
He again asked her to sleep, but she refused, this time coming from her shock.
Sapphire : no, no, I am fine. You sleep, I will go downstairs.
With that, she ran inside the bathroom to take a fresh bath.
ROWAN : I know you are afraid of me, and you will run away like always. I know you are shy type and afraid of me. But now I will make you comfortable with me. I will treat you good now. I will never let your shyness win against my possessiveness…
These thoughts were running in his mind and sleep consumes him again….
