His stubborn obsession

Chapter 5

Anna couldn't get enough sleep at night. She kept on rolling around and when she couldn't take it again, she got up.

She slowly walked to the balcony to get another batch of fresh air.

“It's not like my room is hot, so why can't I sleep?”

The balcony was dark….it was around 2 in the morning. She didn't want to switch on the lights.

“I don't want anyone to know I'm here.” .

She sat close to the railings, her back rested on them.

“Couldn't sleep huh?” A familiar voice asked.

She froze….Her heart beat increased.

“What the heck! Do you want to kill me?”

She got up from the floor, waved through the darkness and found the light switch.

There he was sitting on sofa. His long legs crossed. His hair was a bit messy.

Very unlikely of him.

She walked towards where he was sitted.

“You don't do stuff like that. What if I am a hypertensive patient, what would you have done?”

He got up from the sofa, his hands in his pockets and his face blank.

Anna moved back cause he was tall and she wanted to be looking into his eyes.

He stared at her for a while. She stared at him.

He squinted, his jaw tightened.

“ Go cover yourself up.”

With that, he walked out of the balcony.

“Why doesn't God hear me? Give him sleep paralysis.”

She pointed at the heavens.

“Go cover myself up?” She scoffed. “ It's not like I am naked or ….”

She looked at her dress.

“Ohh my God.”

It was a slightly transparent nightgown. With flowery designs at the hem.

It was also short.

“Everything was on full display? My nips too?”

She ran her hand through her hair and placed the other one on her boobs.

“That fool!!!! Why didn't he just look away? Why did he have to state it?”

She looked at the sky again.

“ Even if you don't want to give him sleep paralysis, give him nightmares.”
