Chapter 70
Whatever Ariel thought marriage was, nothing prepared her for this because why was she eagerly waiting for the man she claimed to hate to come back home? She felt like she was addicted to him somehow and it wasn’t nice, last night had been too amazing and now she wanted more of what they had shared, it was like he bewitched her and she couldn’t do anything else but sit and wait for him to come back home to her, she tried everything to distract her but nothing seem to be working as it only took rubbing her legs together to remind her of what they had shared last night, yup, he told her to get some sleep but she had only been able to get a mere one hour sleep and nothing since, she has just been tossing and turning, looked through the magazine she hadn’t been able to finish the night before, ate and even took a walk, and he still wasn’t back yet, whatever he went to see his grandfather for must be very serious for him to not have been back already even though it was past six in the evening, with the way he had talked to her before he left, she thought it won’t be long until he returns but that didn’t seem to be the case now, she was tempted to call him to find out where he was but that would make her look cringy and she didn’t want him to see him like that.
“He will be back when he is done, Arielle, he is a busy man,”
She scolded herself, once again getting out of bed, she already had dinner and there was nothing else she could do to take her mind off wanting him back, the helps didn’t let her do anything around the house, of course, it was her jobless state that was making her like this, which is more reason she needed to speak to him about letting her do something while he works, that way she won’t feel like this, the feeling of being useless and wanton wasn’t something she wants to deal with for two years.
Arielle walked out of his room toward the living room, she has never been one to be interested in tv shows or anything related to it but right now, that’s all that she had, she sat down and stared blindly at the big screen with remote in hand, she had no idea how to turn the damn thing on, she looked around and there was no one in the room to help her.
“Just do it, the worst that can happen is it will blow up,”
The voice in her head advice, even though she knew she might regret it, she did as it said, thankfully, she didn’t need to regret because the screen came on, she clapped cheerfully as if she had achieved something huge, her face on the big screen startled her, she still found it hard to believe that was her anyway, the woman on the screen looked more beautiful and classy than her present self, she was currently wearing her husband’s shirt which has become her new favorite thing since they got married, meanwhile, the woman on the screen had on a very beautiful and elegant dress, make up and even a pretty smile even though she knew how nervous she had been while smiling at everyone, the reporter was talking about their wedding and how much of a fairy tale life Ariel had, if only they knew the details of her marriage to him, they would not be saying the things they were saying, of course, they thought she had caught him with her beauty, if only they know it is because of a debt if not Luciano won’t even look her way.
Ariel fell asleep while watching the tv and was woken when she felt someone lift her into their arms, she opened her eyes ready to tell whoever it is to drop her down but she shut up so fast when she realized who it was.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Luciano,”
She let out, he looked tired.
“Put me down I can walk,”
She said but he ignored her and walked with her in his arms towards his bedroom.
“Why? You should get used to being carried by me because I intend on doing it a lot,”
He said and kissed her on the lips.
“I will, but you look tired, have you had dinner?”
She asked out of concern, he finally put her down when they got into his room but he didn’t let her go completely, he held onto her waist, his eyes searching hers which made her shy, she was not so used to being someone’s center of attention.
“Are you looking out for me?’
He asked and she nodded.
“Wow, I ate dinner at work, I had a lot to do which is why I am just coming back,”
He explained, she wanted to remind him that he told her he was going to see his grandfather, not to work, but she figured he must have gotten a call from the office and went there straight, he let her go and removed his shirt, she looked away and heard him laugh at her, he couldn’t blame her right? She still wasn’t used to having a naked man in front of her.
“Did you miss me?”
He asked after he was done taking off his clothes, he pulled her in for a hug, a freaking hug, he was doing this on purpose.
“I did,”
She said truthfully.
“Oh wow, I wasn’t expecting that, did something happen to you? Did you fall and hit your head?”
He asked looking at her weirdly.
“Nothing happened,”
She responded.
“Are you sure? First, you were worried for me and now you agree that you missed me, don’t fall in love with me Ariel, for your own good,”
He cautioned, the man thought too highly of himself, to assume she was falling for him just because she asked him a few common questions normal people ask.
