The Fixed Marriage

Episode 5: Sleep Over

We had our dinner here in their house and tonight we have no choice but to sleep in one room. I think I will not be able to sleep tonight.

After that mouth-watering dinner, his dad asked Ced to get some wine. We chit chat with one another while drinking a Silver Oak wine beside their pool. His mom kept on telling some funny stories about Cedrick but I already know some of them because like what I said we grew together.

“I remember a five-year old Cedrick crying so hard simply because you chose to give your candy to Erwan (my best friend) instead of him.” She said and laugh demurely. How can I forget that? That put so much guilt to a five-year old me. Erwan asked it first so I gave it to him.

“For sure both of you will give us cute and charming grand kids.” There she goes mentioning grand kids again. That made me blushed and looked at Cedrick. His face is also red because he kept on drinking his wine and my wine because I have a class tomorrow so I am not allowed to drink much.

“Son, I want to have five grand kids.” His father added as he laughed lively, for me he seems kind of drunk as well.

Finally, Cedrick surrendered and excuse us to sleep earlier than them but this is my main problem. I wish everything will be good.

As we entered his room, I feel my heart beats faster from time to time. His room only has three colors white, black and silver, from the wall to the drawer, bed carpet and his stuffs. It’s so masculine like him. Don’t get me wrong, this is not my first time. I’ve been here hundred times but not alone with him. Usually, with my other male friends.

“You can take a shower first.” He said to break the silence but the thing is, I forgot to bring extra clothes with me. I just have emergency underwear in my pouch and it’s embarrassing if I will not take a shower.

“Uhm… I forgot to bring sleeping clothes.” I said shyly to him. What if I’ll try to borrow clothes from Mom Vicky, his mom’s first name? Err… not a good idea.

Then he stood up get a towel from his closet “I have a lot of clothes to choose from feel free to wear anything you’ll like.” said then entered the shower room.

I just pick a plain white shirt with his height compared to mine this could be a wedding dress. JK! No judgement please I stand 5’5’’.

So, he walks out of the shower room covering his masculinity by using a towel only. Like it makes the room so hot. I am distracted by his toned abs. Like, does he exercise without me knowing? Grrrr! I got the eye of a tiger! Rawr!

“Trying to melt me with your gaze instead of taking a shower?” That ended my fantasy.

I stood up right away telling him I am not even looking at him at all and head to the shower but of course, even the dumbest person on Earth wouldn’t believe that.

I went out the bathroom wearing his shirt. He looked at me and looked away “Change that.” He said like a boss.

“Why would I? This one’s so comfortable.” I demanded. I thought I can wear any clothes I want to wear.

“Never mind! Sleep on the right side and don’t go near me and turn off the light.” He said then he lay on the life side of the bed. Like whatever! This bed is so big.

“Can I open the lampshade?” I demanded. He didn’t answer instead he turned his back on me. What’s with the attitude can you be a little bit welcoming? I’m not doing anything wrong.

I didn’t open the lampshade as he said but I don’t really feel comfortable. “Can’t I really open the lampshade?” I bothered him because I have no choice.

“Fine, open it.” That made me immediately open the lamp because it can give me a little peace of mind but no matter how I tried to sleep, I can’t.

“Ced, are you already sleeping?” I bothered him again.

“If you can’t sleep let me sleep, will you?” He said but he sounds like he’s also wide awake.

“Are you sleepy?” I decided to bother him again. He changes his position instead of facing left he is now facing the ceiling and I face him.

“Are you mad at me?” I asked all of a sudden, he faced me and that made me blush.

“No.” He said it in a cold way.

“Have you slept with another girls?” Okay. I don’t even know where that question came from but I already said it and for sure he heard it. “If you don’t want to answer…” I was about to finish my sentence

“No.” This time it’s a little bit firm and I’m not hundred percent sure but he’s looking at me, he’s looking at my eyes then face the ceiling again “If you keep on talking, do you think you’ll be able to sleep?” he said after. Actually, his answered gave me a relief.

“I remember when we were young you used to sing good lullabies for me.” It’s true and not to mention that he has really a talent for singing. That melt my child’s heart and made me fall for him, want him and dream to be with him. Since he didn’t answer I thought he’s already asleep it’s not impossible since he also drank much wine. I try to check on him. Thanks to light of the lamp I can see his handsome face. His peacefully sleeping. I envy him. I wished I drank much wine too.

The sound of a phone call wakes me up. I’m about to reach my phone when I felt a heavy thing on my tummy. Then, Oh my jelly! He’s hugging me. That made me change my mind I don’t want to free myself from his hug so I decided not to answer the call. Unfortunately, it rings again so I try to reach it by just moving myself a little bit so that he is still hugging me. Hahaha! I know you know the drill.

“Hello.” I tried to speak to the other line as soft as I could not to wake up this man on my side.

“Good morning Zara. I just want to know if you have any updates ‘bout the plan?” It’s Dylan.

“Not yet, but maybe I can give you tomorrow or this Wednesday Mr. Villanueva, Dylan I mean.” I said in the same soft voice.

“Okay, I’m sorry bothering you so early, I’m just so excited about it.” This time he noticed that I speak so soft so he tried to imitate me. Maybe, he finds it funny.

“No worries.” Then I dropped the call for it not to sound rude I turned off my phone with that he will think that I got my battery drained instead, right? Sounds bright? I know.

Then the man on my side move but didn’t remove his hands on my belly. Calling all my professors, I think I will be sick in bed and will not be able to attend today’s classes. JK! But really, this is rare opportunity I must grab. Right? I can’t help myself but stare at him. I can’t believe that I can call this perfect guy husband. That time I want to stole a kiss from him but it shocks me when he opened those beautiful eyes with melting gaze.

“Good morning.” I greeted him with a full blast smile.

“You’re so noisy, you didn’t even let me sleep soundly because of your snore.” He said to me, that embarrass me a bit but I know that I don’t snore.

“Excuse me, I don’t snore mister.” I corrected him

After that he pulled me closer to him. “How would you know if you’re sleeping soundly?” He said then smiles evilly and act like he’s about to kiss me. Of course, I know this already he done this just last time. Act like he will kiss me but end up making fun of me. So, I didn’t close my eyes and just stare at him. LOL! That will not work mister.

But he really kissed me. He pushed his mouth against mine that made me open my mouth a bit for him. He didn’t stop right there. His rebellious tongue enters my mouth. I like the sensation, it made me close my eyes and feel him kissing me he moves a little so he is now on top of me continue doing his job he bites my lower lip softly that made me moan a little. Everything could go deeper…

“breakfa…Oh I didn’t see anything just continue what you’re doing” his mom after laughing demurely and immediately close the door but that break our kiss. What the hell! We forgot to lock the door last night. I feel so embarrassed so I pushed him and walk straight to the restroom. What a Monday morning!? I feel so much heat on my face. How can I face him? I tried to stay longer on the restroom. Ugh!

Luckily when I went outside, he’s not there anymore. Maybe he’s having his breakfast. So, I went down and that could be the most awkward breakfast in my life. First, I am just wearing his T-shirt and second the scene earlier that his mom saw.

“Eat more, you should gain your strength.” His mom to me then don’t forget the demure laugh. Like, hello it’s not what you’re thinking mom, but I just smile at her then I look at him. He’s so natural as if nothing’s happened. Okay. So, maybe it’s just me. Yeah. What’s wrong with that we’re married anyway? We can do that but not in a way that mom can see us. Ugh. Erase, erase.

After that awkward breakfast, we went home so that I can get ready for my school and he can get ready to go to the company.
