Chapter 8 // Upcoming Storm //
1029 Words
~~ Let things happen in a flow. Your one wrong step would destroy everything ~~
Valentina opened her eyes groggily when she felt something unusual around her. When she opened her eyes, she was met with darkness and a shadow which was sitting beside her.
At first she was scared but when the manly cologne hit her nostrils, she sobered up. She was married and was probably on the plane with Xavier.
What scared her was not the darkness, rather the incoherent murmuring that came out of Xavier's mouth. It sounded painful as he stuttered on his words.
"Mr. Night!!!"
Valentina didn't call him with his name because he isn't her friend nor someone she is close to. Was it the actual reason or she was shy to call him by his name?
``But still you kissed him twice!!'
Valentina's conscience mocked her. Ignoring it, she again called for him. He heart was racing fast inside her ribcage,
"Mr. Night!!!"
"Do something!!"
"Huh!!!"
Valentina wasn't sure what she heard. Do something!!! What she should do!!!
"Mr. Night!!!"
"I SAID TO DO SOMETHING!!!! MAKE THIS DARKNESS DISAPPEAR. DO SOMETHING!!!!!!"
Valentina flinched and scooted back when she heard his raging angry voice. She saw him expressionless but this much anger she never witnessed it in anyone. She was never used to loud voices. She felt scared and hurriedly started searching for a phone.
Finding someone else's phone on the bedside table, she was thankful that it wasn't locked. She quickly clicked on the flashlight and focused it on Xavier's shadow.
She was terrified when she saw his face covered in sweet beads with his lips mumbling something. Valentina's breathing stopped when he looked up. His baby blue eyes were filled with fear and horror instead of those coldness and teasing.
° Valentina's POV °
What is happening with him? Why is he shivering and sweating like this? It's just the darkness and nothing else.
"Mr. Night, are you okay??"
I asked timidly as his gaze was piercing right through my heart.
I saw a flicker of another emotion in his eyes. A ray of hope.
I couldn't grasp what happened as I felt a hand on my nape and then my face slammed against a hard surface, precisely his chest.
I could hear his fast heartbeat and his heavy breathing fell on my head.
"Do something, please. Please!!!"
He mumbled while slipping one hand around my waist and pulling me into a tighter hug.
He dipped his face in the crook of my neck and circled his hands around my waist pulling me more into him.
"Mr. Night!!!"
"Please!!"
I stiffened when I felt something wet on my shoulder. Was he crying????
I didn't think of anything and made him sit on the bed and sat on his lap while straddling his waist. It was difficult due to my gown but I couldn't bear his disheveled state. One thing was sure, that he has Nyctophobia or else why would he act like this?
I cupped his face and made him look at me. His face was all sweaty and his eyes were red as he held back his tears with force.
"See, I'm here. Right?? I'm here with you. Just focus on me and nothing else. Ok?? Just keep looking at me."
He looked at my face and then my eyes. Something unsurety was present in his eyes. I cupped his face and brought it to my level. I forwarded and put my lips on his forehead, leaving behind a soft peck.
"I'm right here with you. And I won't go anywhere."
He didn't say anything for a minute which scared me but then attacked my lips. He just kept them pressed to mind and didn't move at all. I also didn't say anything but butterflies flew around in my tummy and my heart was like racing in the Olympics.
"Mr..mmm…"
He pressed his lips more into me when I started talking. I looked into his eyes and I could literally read the silent warning he was giving me not to talk about anything.
I stayed glued to his lap with my hands clutching his shoulder. I closed my eyes as he licked my lower lips from time to time. He slowly laid me down on the bed and hovered over me putting his weight on my body.
He separated his lips from mine and laid his face on my chest. A deep blush coated my cheeks seeing his act.
"Mr..night!!"
"Shush!!!"
He pressed his forefinger on my lips and stopped me from talking further.
He again went back to snuggling my chest. I kept quiet so as not to anger him. Slight snores started coming out from him which made me smile at him.
I threaded my fingers in his hair and pulled them softly. I shifted uncomfortably when he rubbed his face on one of my breasts. I kept on caressing his hair until I also fell into a deep slumber.

"Did you do what I say?"
Grandpa Night asked over the call as he excused himself from Mrs. Night, Mrs. Constance and Lara. The trio were loading their bags in the car.
"Yes elder master. I had loosened the wire of the room in the plane before taking off. It loosened completely after the take off. I didn't hear any scream from the room except one yell. From the last one hour, it's all been calm."
Grandpa Night and then dismissed the call. He knew what he did was wrong. He took advantage of his grandson's phobia. But it was necessary to bring him closer to Valentina.
But he was unaware of the storm that he gave rise to. The storm which is gonna make Valentina suffer only.
"Grandpa, let's go!!"
Grandpa Night heard Lara's voice and gave her a faint smile before going towards her.
A new chapter was going to be open in all their lives. A chapter full of love and possessiveness, mysteries and secrets, pain and heartbreaks, separation and reunion.
