I was pursing my lips every time I rolled my body on my bed.
My eyes found the clock on my wall and I saw that it was already 11 pm...
I frowned so that means I was here up for hours? I can't even fall asleep.
"Hmm," I hmmed and hug the soft pillow on my side so tight.
Last time, it was also late at night when I caught him alone in our kitchen.
So...what if I'll check him right now if he's there or something? besides im not feeling sleepy.
"Stupid, KC!" I muttered to myself but I just found myself sliding my feet on my fluffy Doraemon slipper.
"I'll just check if he's there, I'll go back immediately if he wasn't there," I mumbled.
Yeah, I'm talking to myself.
Silently, I took the stairs in a very careful and silent way.
I bet I'm the only one who's awake here, midway down the stairs I stopped and thought about going back to my room...I looked around and I can't see anything aside from the dim light of the whole mansion and silence... Thinking about going back to my room where I shouldn't leave at this hour in the very first place but on second thought, since I'm already midway down the stairs, why not totally go down... right?
And in the end, I choose the latter decision and I'm now entering our huge dining room, and just steps away I reached the main kitchen.
It was in dim light, it was cold but it doesn't affect me because only one thing at the corner makes my throat runs dry.
---Again, it's Viel who's here as I concluded but I was right.
Even he's in a bit dark corner... On the counter, of course, I know it's him base on his well-toned body and he's... not he's not topless right now. which is disappointing...
I shook my head on that naughty thoughts of mine.
"Karina, damn girl..." He groaned huskily as his weight shifted on me, I can see even though it was a bit dark. I stoned at where I'm standing while looking at him... My heart just stopped beating and it feels like I regretted that I dared to check on ever his here 'cause right now I just want to run back upstairs.
"I-I...Uhmm, I'm thirsty, "stuttering but I manage to make a reason.
I saw his faint chuckles and slowly he come closer.
" Karina, I saw one of your maids brought a pitcher of water into your room." He stated.
I pouted and close my eyes... He's probably referring to Melinda.
"It's already empty... I Uhmm, I-Im thirsty,"
I almost roll my eyes to myself.
Goodness! That's so lame for an excuse.
" It's late, after you have a glass of water, go back and sleep." He demanded huskily.
Here we go again with his demanding attitude.
"How about you? Whay you're still awake? This is the second time I reached you here," I stated curiously.
"Just go back to your room, Karina, you have to sleep." He briefly said which was way too far for a response to my questions.
Instead of obeying him, I pulled the stool and sit there.
"Why you're here?" I repeated and rested my face on my palm.
I look at the counter and unlike last time, I don't see any alcoholic drinks besides the glass of water.
"I just get some water, Karina, go back to your room," he demanded.
"No, then why you're still awake?" I throw him another question once again.
"Work," he briefly answered, and using his hand he pointed to the stairs as if telling me to go back to my room now.
But because I'm Karina Cassidy Tyson, of course... I didn't listen, instead, I asked another question again.
"What work? " I innocently asked as play with the tip of my hair.
He growled as he steps closer... Hmm,
I can't help but to close my eyes and inhaled his manly scent... It's addicting as always.
" You brat," He uttered using his deep baritone voice and a wide smile appeared on my lips.
I was taken aback when he held my wrist and he began walking, and because I was sitting on the stool, I hurriedly get down as he pulled me along with him.
" H-hey! Where are we going?" I asked panickily
"To the guest room where I stay," he simply answered which makes my eyes widen.
Thoughts come rushing down on me.
Wait, what?! My eyes widen as I think of the different reasons why he's pulling me to come along with him and I was just back to my senses when Viel snapped at me.
"Cut that silly thought of yours, Karina..." He fired.
" You asked me what I'm doing right? then I'll show you," he stated seriously.
My lips parted. I didn't think he would take that seriously....oh, crap that, I forgot that he's always this serious and has no time for nonsense living things on the earth.
We were making our way to one of our guest rooms here on the first floor, I even heard my dad that he offered to Viel the guest room on the second floor but he declined... well, maybe he doesn't really care where he'll going to stay as long as it's fine.
After a moment we reached the room where he'll going to use tonight and he opened it.
The light was opened which gives clarity to everything.
Then my eyes found his bed, there were lots of papers and sketches on his bed, some were crumpled.
" Blueprint?" I asked him but I started to walk slowly toward his bed...
There I saw the blueprints of aircraft... There's a lot. The construction detail parts of each one and its design... It's cool.
And slowly, my hand reached for the necklace I'm wearing ever since the day that I got this.
Aircraft designs were just plastered on the bed...
I wonder how does it feel to have a career like him. He's an AeroE and for me, that's so cool especially when he loves what he's doing.
