Chapter Six

I'd followed him to our room silently. Words couldn't define the intense self pity and sadness I felt.

Yeah. Psycho. Right.

I got dressed into my sleep wear. Unfortunately...

He chose out what he wanted me to wear and it didn't help I had a feeling he wanted to do something... Strange.

Instead he stripped down to his boxers and climbed into bed leaving me to dress in silence. I climbed into bed beside him.... And pressed against his back as I tried to sleep.

Second day in my new home...

Utter failure.

" Tell me something then..."

" I don't owe you anything..."

" The words you said at the altar..."

" Oh please. As fake as my feelings for you."

I swallowed. Hard.

" Then you don't mind if I return to my room?"

I sat up and he pushed me down in bed.

" No. As my lover you sleep... In my bed. We discussed this. You can sleep in your room when I'm gone."

I exhaled " Right. Thanks."

I can't believe I had started falling for this guy. Feeling jealous... Over this guy... Worrying about who he was with or what he thought of my actions.

Another night went by... Without being able to sleep.

When I noticed something move I looked over to notice him dressing.

It was already 5am.

" Where are you going...its Saturday"

He glanced down at me, doing up his shirt and tie.

" What does it look like?"

I bit my lip staring down at myself.

He growled " Breakfast or we can have a repeat of yesterday morning."

I silently got up and got dressed.

I combed the brown fluff on my head to one side spiking it up as he finished off his cufflinks.

I noticed he looked up at me once from my peripheral.

But I was focused on myself right now.

It wasn't like he cared about me anyway.

Breakfast was cold.

I couldn't eat. I left the cupcake where it was and he frowned at me the entire way through the meal.

Eventually he got up and walked towards the lobby, I tried to keep up behind him.

" Have a good..."

He picked up his pace jogging down the stairs away from me.

I spent the grey Saturday locked in my room.

Hikari tried to call me down to lunch and dinner.

I'd locked the door on her.

I'd tried to call my dad but he didn't answer...

More knocks on the door irritated me.

I lay in bed.... With my thoughts becoming depressing.

I sniffed between crying and trying to recover my breathing.

Eventually the only thing I could think about doing... was calling him at work...

I didn't know what to say...and the fact that it went to answer machine didn't help.

" I know... You're probably busy... And I shouldn't be wasting your time. But... I get it. You can have anyone you want. I'm not important to you. I get it. I heard you yesterday. I have... No right... To tell you what to do... But... Some reason... I belong to you now... And for reasons unknown to me I feel things for you now that I can't even come close to understanding. I've never been in love or anything like that... So I don't know how that feels... But I guess if this is that.... Then its horrible."

I hung up returning to a room of silence.

I finally fell asleep.

And awoke at midnight when a sharp knock came at my door.

" Sir. The master is waiting for you in your dining area. He is calling for you. Come now please."

The low toned voice belonged to a guard.

I got up... Realising I was still in day wear and made my way out of my room. The guard followed walking behind me... Down to our dining area.

I noticed when I came in to the room that food had already been placed on the table for us... and he seemed to be waiting for me before he touched anything.

He pointed at my chair.... And I sat down... He began to eat instantly.

I followed suit.

The meal went on in silence.

Eventually he cleared his throat but wouldn't look at me as he spoke.

" I have something I'd like to show you...."

He stood up and coaxed me out of my seat.

I didn't want to move. I felt embarrassed to be honest.

He could probably tell I'd been crying.

But was choosing not to humiliate me like he did yesterday.

He held onto me pulling me along.

He purred into my ear " I bought you something... A bouquet.... "

I glanced up at him and his eyes were full of warmth. A smile playing at his lips. One of the guards came over and handed a box to him.

He opened it in front of me.

Inside were four cupcakes with bouquet style frosting.

I glared at him.

" Are you teasing me? "

He smiled " No... I know you didn't eat all day... So I thought.... Light is my cupcake and these... Reminded me of you."

I felt weak... Part of me didn't know what to say.

I quietly took the box from him... And purred " Will you share them with me... In our room."

He tilted his head at me playfully.

" Light... Its too late for any sweets."

I bit my lip.

" Please...in our room."

His mouth fell open when he realised what I meant.

I wasn't trying to be possessive or desperate. Its just genuinely in that moment I was happy.
