Rebecca POV:-
I don't understand him, he is the one who threw me out of the house, over the phone, not to mention and then took me back.
“What is his problem? Is Ryan bipolar or something?” I muttered, walking down.
“He should have let me go so that he can live his life in peace.” I continued with a puff forming over my face.
After all I have made his life hell, the look of loathe and betrayal always flashed in his eyes.
Sometimes I feel compassion for him, he has no faults and is still stuck in the undesirable situation of spending his life with me.
Me, whose own father threw her out, thinking of her as nothing but contempt and he is living with me.
“Dammit.”
My heart clenched as I leaned on the counter of the kitchen and put my hands over my chest and lowered my head.
I closed my eyes as mystifying thoughts came to my mind and didn't let me think straight.
I vaguely remember going to the beach, remembering those days when all of us used to go there and enjoy ourselves to the fullest and I was crying my heart out realizing those moments have become nothing but mere memories.
“Ma’am?”
Then a sudden darkness took over and when I woke up, Ryan was hugging me in a never letting go manner. He embraced me and that feeling made me feel.. Safe.
“Ma’am?”
Like all my despair is shared by him and he held me close wanting to tell me that he is here and there's nothing to be afraid of.
“Ma’am!”
For an instant, I want to melt in that too but something in my heart always pulled me back and the only thought distraught my mind is that;
'He loves Marianne.'
“What!?” I raised my voice, losing my mind when this thought entered.
Just because of these three words, I couldn't pull myself to feel anything for him because I will feel ashamed. Like how can I think about Ryan like that?
"The rice will overcook and you are blocking the way." Flurry said, dragging me from my thoughts.
“Oh.” I rubbed my temples, moving away.
“Are you alright?” She asked, vexed about my state.
I slowly opened my eyes and replied, "I am tired. Too tired.."
"Maybe because you are still sick, you should sleep." Flurry suggested.
I just nodded and went to our room and saw Ryan sleeping. He was in a deep slumber as if he hadn't slept for days.
“You should have thrown me out.” I whispered, the abrupt urge to run my hand in his hair arised by I swallowed it.
I wrapped the blanket around him and then put over curtains to stop sunlight from coming inside and ruin his sleep.
My head felt dizzy, thankfully, I have prepared his food already. I then laid on the sofa and closed my eyes as I also fell asleep.
I woke, finally feeling fresh. I smiled widely as I sat up and stretched. I walked out of the room and bumped into Ryan who was using his phone.
"And here I thought you were in an eternal sleep." He muttered, turning his head away.
"Since you brought me back, I will not leave that easily… Unit until I suck your life out." I retorted.
"What you are already doing." He grumbled and was about to walk inside as I called him.
"Mr Knight." He continued what he was doing and hummed.
"Dinner?" I asked.
"No need, I ordered food.. For myself."
My mouth gaped, just how much of a mean guy he is!?
But I closed it because it will just spoil my mood to talk to him.
“Hmph!”
I was sitting in the lounge watching a movie, my legs crossed with a bowl of popcorn in my hands.
I watched my movie fully focused but then Ryan came with a box of pizza and sat beside me.
“You are the worst, you know it?” I hissed at him.
The smell reached my nostril as the urge to eat it aroused in me but I remained stoic and didn't even flinch.
He put it on the table and began to say.
"I have lost my appetite, you can eat it."
I turned to look at him and the first question that escaped my lips was too astonishing to me at least.
"What about you? What will you eat?"
His eyes widened for a second but soon he turned his head away and leaned back.
"Why do you care?" He asked, watching the movie.
"Obligation." I replied, focusing on my movie too.
"I am not hungry." He said. I shrugged my shoulders and said.
"Then don't touch my pizza, I'll be back." I said, giving him my popcorn bowl and standing up.
"I won't." He said, watching the movie.
I went to the Kitchen and cooked quick mac n cheese. I took out two cans of soft drinks and when the cheese melted I went back to the lounge.
“What?”
“I put the plate of mac n cheese on the table, he was taken aback but I just simply sat back and put my box of pizza on my lap and began to watch the movie again.
"I told you-"
"I made this for myself but I lost my appetite. You can eat it." I said nonchalantly.
Taking the pizza slice and biting and feeling a great ecstasy upon eating it, like I have been given holy grail.
“It will get cold soon. You should eat it.”
He looked at me in disbelief but I ignored him and began to drink my soft drink.
After that, we didn't share any words and continued to watch our movie in silence. Time passed in the blink of an eye, it was midnight.
I turned and saw Ryan watching the movie intensely.
"Aren't you sleepy?" I asked, perplexed by his attention towards it.
"No." He said. I was sitting with my legs crossed and so was he.
I never thought I would watch a movie with him but here we are, judging the main character.
"And your work?" I asked again.
He hummed, ignoring my words. I sighed and turned to the LED and we continued to watch our movie, giving it all our attention.
