Mr. President's Wife

Chapter 8; False feelings

Roxette Pov

My clothes were wet, it was dripping on the marble floor so I slowly walked to the stairs so that I wouldn't slip, but no matter how careful I was with each step I made, I still slipped. Unbearable pain hit my knee.

"ahw-! ' I just bit my lip to shut my self.

I slipped right down the stairs and hit my knee.

I almost writhe in pain.

And I saw Ralf run quickly to where I was.

"What ?! Are you stupid? Can't you do anything sensible?

"How did you slip here?

What are you?

A kid?

He scolded me.

But perhaps he's concerned. I assumed.

I could see the trace of concern on his face when he saw the wound on my knee.

I was a bit surprised when he took my hand and put it on his shoulder to carry me.

My heart is beating so fast. I even forgot that I'm in pain.

He is so close to me.

Is it too much for me to think that he's worried about me?

I really like the smell of him. A manly scent.

He carefully made me sit on the side of the bed when we reached my room.

I just silently watched his every move.

He rolled his eyes across the room as if looking for something.

Then found what he need. He walked to the door and picked up the first aid kit box that was on the floor.

The same one I used last night when I bandaged the wound on his hand.

The wound on my knee is not that big and I can tolerate the pain, but somehow I pretend to be hurting to adapt to the situation.

If only I could prolong that moment that he was close to me.

"Why is this wound I got from slipping so small? Well I didn't mean that.

But how I wish it's much bigger than this just to make him stay with me for a while.

He was often angry with me and did not want to see me.

So I just want to enjoy the moment like this.

When he finished bandaging my wound, he stood up and opened my closet.

I was shaking my shoulder a bit when he turned to me for a moment then took a pair of clothes and threw them on the bed.

Then immediately leave the room.

His mood seemed to suddenly change.

"What was that? Why does he seem angry?

It's really hard for him to understand, now he's kind and then suddenly angry again, "I'm going crazy because of him.'

I'm Annoyed.

While trying to get up to go to the bathroom and take a shower.

Now that I'm alone, My wound hurts so much.In the point that I can't straighten my knee when I step to the bathroom. However, I managed to take a shower.

As I was under the cold drag of water all my thoughts came back to what had happened earlier.

"Maybe if I will be nice to him and do my part as his wife, maybe one day he will learn to love me.

Well, I’m not saying I love him though, so he should love me back.

I'm trying to play my role as his wife but there's nothing wrong if one day we'll fall in love with each other.

I stayed under the shower for a while, just to relax.

I covered my naked body with foam from the body wash I used. It's relaxing smell of rose and cherries is the best part of my bath time. I always look forward to every time I shower

It feels so much fun to me.

I soaked myself in the bathtub full of foam and lay down there.

My head was leaning against the side of the tub just enough for me to breathe.

*******************

I was stunned when I heard a loud bang from outside the bathroom door.

Am I dreaming?

I'm sure my eyes are wide open but why is the surroundings dark?

I could still feel the water on my skin and as I remembered I was in the bathtub.

"Did I sleep?'

"How long have I been sleeping here?

Now that I asked myself, a sudden cold embraced me and made me shiver.

"Roxette! Can you hear me?

"What are you doing in there?

Ralf asked outside the bathroom as he knocked loudly on the door.

Because it was dark all around I had to hold into the wall to be able to reach the door.

"f*ck my body is shaking, How long have I been soaked myself in this tub?

"Roxette! Roxette what- '

Ralf stopped when I opened the door.

My whole body was shaking and I didn't have enough strength to move well. Thankfully Ralf immediately supported me when my knees ran out of strength.

After that, I didn't really know what happened next.

I woke up lying on my bed and wrapped in a blanket from chest to toe.

I still felt a little headache and dizziness

However, I forced my body because I wanted to drink some water. Then I just realized I was wearing pajamas.

Slowly I was able to go down the stairs.

I saw Ralf sitting in the dinning and it seemed to be working on his laptop.

I looked away when he suddenly turned his gaze to me.

"Are you feeling bad?

-Why did you get up?

It's only ten o'clock in the evening.

My eyes widened when I heard what he said.

"Ten o'clock at night?

So I slept all day?

Instead of answering me, he stood up and took water from the refrigerator and laid it on the table.

“What do you think?

-Just what are you thinking and you slept in the tub ?!

You almost kill, you're self' "you little brat!

Based on his speech and tone of voice, I think I made him angry again. But somehow there was concern on his face.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean you to worry.

I said as I walked and grabbed the water on the table.

"What?'

Do you think I'm worried about you?

"Then Listen carefully ..'

Suddenly he looked serious and stepped closer to me.

"I'm not worried about you, I just don't want your family to blame me when you get sick because of your negligence.'

Don’t you dare do this again because I don't have time for your gimmicks.

He said emphatically then took the laptop and went up the stairs.

I just sighed in frustration while my gaze followed him up stares.

I was wrong when I thought that somehow he cared about me.
