I no longer had any appetite. The master bedroom is just as immaculate, The view from up here is refreshing, vehicles appeared like ants. After checking all the rooms for myself. I crashed on my bed after my breakdown in the living room.
Later at night when it was dark and quiet, a certain uneasiness woke me up, like I was being watched. A shadow fell over my face. It sensed it move above my skin, I didn't feel any force, maybe I'm not being touched right now.
I was alert.
My intuition had been right.
Even I noticed the sudden change in my breaths, I was breathing heavily now, my heart paced up. Certainly the burglar will know I'm awake.
'Crap!'
"Relax, Zenovia. It's me." I heard callen's soothing voice and instantly I let the sheets clutched in my hands go. I open my eyes adjust to the moonlight filtering in since I left the house dimmed.
First I see blurred red on his clothes and some painting his forehead, I blink twice then thrice my eyes go wide at what I saw, my breath hitched.
It's Blood! Blood all over his torn clothes. The same clothes he set off wearing which were clean and in one piece a day before.
"What..how?" Almost came as a whisper, I quickly scrambled from the bed and rushed over to him. He needs emergency treatment! He should faint any moment now.
"Relax. It's not mine." I take back a step at his calm revealation. He shifts his gaze focusing on the floor.
To be honest, his tranquil attitude scares me.
He saw the shock register on my face before I could hide it. A small smile played on his lips, 427Please respect copyright.PENANAm83amgtu1E
427Please respect copyright.PENANAgFDiIFBfMt
I guess he gets that a lot.
I don't ask what he does,
How did it happened,
Why is he doing this,
Any of this!
Just he is alive. And back to me.
"How many did you loose?" I questioned quietly, holding myself thinking this unusual coldness would leave my skin and observing the grim solitude in his eyes. The only thing weighing his mind right now is, his men.
"Seventeen." Toneless he whispers back. Last time, I asked his close attendent, where callen was after the attack on airport. He said "To the funeral." After prying further I discovered he has a place for his people in his heart, he values each of their lives and serves their sacrifice with honour. He avenges all.
He looked like he wanted to say something else, 427Please respect copyright.PENANAPmvN3Du6wZ
427Please respect copyright.PENANAFg2VouBjL2
Maybe I started the wrong topic.
We were feeling the silence then He tears his bloodstained shirt and let it fall, "Go back to sleep." He orders, following that he goes into the bathroom and I stared at his shirt. "You got cuts though." I say to myself, his bare chest and wounded abdomen appears in my head again.
I realise he's going to spend another hour in the shower,
He's disgusted by himself.
He couldn't look me in the eye neither made an effort to touch me.
He hates his bloodied hands.
He Even strained not to touch me when I was sleeping. He thinks he will stain me too.
How can I ease his mind?
This is not even his room, still he went in for a bath. The master bedroom is much larger.
Better I sleep now and we can look into it tomorrow morning with a fresh mind.427Please respect copyright.PENANAKwfm5kmiKl

I awoke to soft sheets, and the morning light trickled in through the blinds. Shedding myself of the remaining glimpses of a dream, Strong binds around my middle and heavy load trapping my legs in place. My eyes were still shut as I soaked in the warmth of my covers before letting my blue eyes see the sun's rays. I blink open my eyes, my eyelashes faintly batting against my lids when I blinked, It was his hands and legs securing me. I eased in his arms, he held me in a spoon position laying behind me.
He never went to his bed. "You slept here?" I whispered checking if he's still asleep or I can squeeze out of his grip.
"Yes. Your bed, my bed. Doesn't make a difference to me. You slept well?" He said in his morning husky voice.
Morning wetness alert!!
"Yes." I yawn as I stretch.
"I heard you didn't ate yesterday." I stopped.
He sounded like I did something wrong. Good thing I was getting off the bed without having to face him. It isn't correct but I got mood ruling me.
I'm not angry but I'm at fault and him pointing it out embarrasses me. It's just the way he puts it.
He props himself on his elbow looking at me intently but I didn't look at him.
He waited.
"Is that call bothering you? Want me to take care of that old man?" He says rather normally after letting a good sum of minutes being passed, I feel the restlessness behind those fiery eyes,
Furious.
I turn to him dumbfounded letting go of the towel, I think he noticed my sudden gulp and ajar mouth because the next second he sits up, massaging his neck he goes back on his words, "Never mind. That's a lot of work. I'm busy." His eyes fell on my quavering hand, he looked pissed. It's true, sometimes, he scares me. "I'm not doing anything." He met my eyes sternly as he says slowly this time.
He has only backed down,
I see no hint of remorse.
I advance him. He catches my face as I Grab his shirt. "You Will Not Touch Him!" I was out of my breath but managed to add warning in my tone. A mischievous smile played on his sinful lips.
"Then don't worry me sweetheart." He kisses my lips, my grip loosens. He pulls me close, just fabric apart and stares down at me with those molten eyes. He licked his lips and I had to attack his lips then.
My stomach chooses That moment to rumble!
He breaks away, Loosening his hold. I get off the bed too. "Don't risk your health. It also puts all my effort in vain." He says disheveled, mussing up his hair.
I am again surprised.
I am only thinking about myself. Everyone's going through all the trouble because of me. He is handling all my mess behind the scenes, Things I'm not aware of, he's giving his all,
For me.
The selfish me is taking it all for granted.
I tsked.
"I'm sorry." He stops. Normally he's expressionless. Now in a long time I caught his confused bewilderment in a brief second of time. I'll have to ignite that more out of him in future.
He looks beautiful. Truly.
I continue despite being fazed at the moment. "I'll take care of myself. No matter the circumstances." 427Please respect copyright.PENANAdXGn6bJo26
427Please respect copyright.PENANAHECwrsp19H
Only now that he relaxed I realise he had been stiff all along, his eyes lighten and his lips spread into a smile. .427Please respect copyright.PENANAScVaEfJSXg
427Please respect copyright.PENANAUMxWjxwrDu
Beautiful is an understatement. He's an evil version of Gorgeous!
"Good. Can you tell me what had you this upset You lost your appetite?" He asks gentle with his voice.
I can see, he already knows the details, but he wants to listen to my feelings, my perspective in person.
I sigh, taking time contemplating how should I say that he doesn't object.
"I feel isolated. Sudden cut off from my normal previous life sometimes weights on me too much. I was petrified yesterday. Everyone is doing fine, only I am absent. I was angry, I was sad. Numb inside. I am so helpless!" I poured out all of my burdens. I hug myself, squeezing shut my eyes.
To my surprise he lifts me up out of nowhere, "I get it. You're alone and fed up. This month is coming to an end and haven't breathed in fresh air. You cannot run back to your place since it's brunt down to ashes. You cannot go back to your son 'cause that's dangerous. Involving your father will rage a typical war. It's just you and me." He says rapid swinging me around, like he's reciting for himself. But it's hurt hearing it's all true, but I'm giggling at his humoural way of singing, after all he was having a temper from last night, he changes so quickly. He then stops moving, looks dead in the eye, god he's trying to be charming. " So what do you wanna do? dine out?" He suggests in that sexy heavy tone of his. My stomach rumbles, his eyes twinkles.
"Or better, can I join back my hospital?" I say squirming in his hold. It's no point, I said it! His expressions changes from cheerful to downcast. If I don't pester now he will just deny overall. "It's one way I can stay spirited!" I add strength pestering him with keen eyes. His cautious Hazel orbs focuses on my miserable state, He takes time thinking hard.
"Okay." His rather guttural approval came as a surprise to me. My stomach's being doing flip flop since morning and this feeling right now had been the ultimate.
"But. You'll follow all the safety rules given by me. Got it?"
"Yes!" I chirp and my belly goes off again, ignore. I know he has put a lot of thought into the matter. Anyhow I have to step out someday. I can't avoid it forever.
"Still, It would've been best if you could manage to stay inside for a few more days until I settle the matter." Hesitant he says insists, I make a face. He plants a kiss on my forehead. "Since you insist."
"Let's shower together and save time. We idled around the whole morning."
He laughs when instead my mouth my stomach replies with a rumble. I regret not eating on time. It's the fourth time it rumbled and he couldn't ignore it anymore.

To be honest, he wakes up the life in me. I feel dead until he appears. He holds the key to relieve my distress. Hospital is just an excuse to pave my own path.
