Temporary Husband

Chapter 9: Sexy voice.

It felt so comfortable that I didn’t realize I too fell asleep until the loud ringing of my mobile woke me up. I dragged my lazy bum with great difficulty to attend the call.

I climbed out of the bed and went out to the balcony to answer the call so that I wouldn’t disturb her sleep.

“Hello?”

“Are you with Kaira? How is she? Is she alright? She needs to take her meds now! I am not able to reach her!”

It was Ms. Daisy on the call. She sounded so alarmed. She continued to speak without giving me a chance.

“Ms. Daisy, calm down a little. She is with me right now. I am afraid she is not in the position to answer the call at the moment. What’s about the meds you are talking about? Is she sick somewhere?”

I was genuinely worried. I could literally feel my heart beating on my chest. Daisy was hesitant for a moment but still decided to give me an answer.

“I believe you have the right to know… But don’t you ever tell her that you learnt about it from me!”

She ordered me not to tell her. I immediately promised her. I didn’t know when it started exactly but everything that is related to her, I wanted to know…

“She is under medication to control her panic attacks. She is very uncomfortable around people that she starts to put up an act at some point in front of them. She absolutely needs her meds to control it. In her case, if she gets one, it could last for hours… I got a call from her butler saying she forgot her meds for today. We both have been trying to reach her for some time now. Please keep an eye on her. I will be there with the meds in an hour.”

Panic attacks? Her?? The Kaira that I have observed so far was someone who is always so calm and collected in all the situations. Was that all an act?? Did she show me her side which she wanted me to see all along?

I was baffled. I asked Daisy about the speech she gave at the launch and she said Kaira collapsed right after the launch and was taken back home. I wanted to know more like what made her to become scared, what pushed her to such an extent that she lived behind a mask… I wanted to ask but I didn’t as I figured that I shouldn’t pry Daisy too much. If I wanted something, I was capable of getting it myself. But at the same time I was also scared that I might scare her away... I decided to give her the time that she deserved before I could enter into her closed heart….

Daisy was confused whether I was still on the phone or not as she confirmed my presence. I told her to not come here. I also told her that Kaira was asleep and she looked like she wanted rest more than anything. Even though I was not sure whether what I did was right… At first Daisy couldn’t believe me when I said she was sleeping. She was so happy that I could imagine her jumping from joy.

“Ms. Daisy? What happened?”

“No… Nothing…. It’s just that I am happy! She always had trouble sleeping but now you are saying she is sleeping like a log! You are right! Her sleep comes first. Please let her sleep… I am sure Mr. Dev and Ms. Thara would be very happy when they learn about it.”

Two unfamiliar names… I asked her about them she told they both were her maid and butler who practically raised her from her childhood.

After a while I ended the call and headed back to the bed. I realized that her bag and phone were both down in the living room. That explained why Daisy was not able to reach her.

It was half past one into the night. I noticed her tossing and turning as she kept a frown on her face. She was not like that when she was in my arms. It seemed like she was having the nightmare again. I really wondered what she was dreaming to the point that she was actually scared. She looked so weak and fragile unlike the her that I met a few minutes ago. I wondered which is the real her. I wanted to learn about her so much to point that these thoughts in my head drove me crazy. I messaged Liam to run a little investigation on her.

I leaned in to give a soft kiss on her forehead. Whatever it was that troubled her, I will do my best to keep them away. I wrapped my arms around her as I too drifted into sleep.

…………………………………………………………………..Kaira………………………………………………………………………………….

I felt like I was wrapped by something warm and comfortable. I could hear the slow and steady breaths of someone near my ear. Usually I would feel alarmed and went into a panic attack. But somehow that didn’t happen…

The warm breath of this person somehow made me feel reassured and protected… I wanted to know who it was that gave me this strange sense of calmness…

When I rolled over to see who that was, I was surprised that it was him… Krish… My… Husband…

He wrapped his arms tightly around my waist that I was not able to get up. After a little struggle, I gave up and snuggle into his strong and warm arms and admired his handsome face. 

When I looked out of the window I figured it was probably around noon but I was least bothered about it. I felt so peaceful and content that I didn’t want to move out of the bed. I noticed a change in his expression and soon I figured that it was about time that he woke up.

But instead of opening his eyes he pulled me harder closer to his chest into a warm embrace. I was a little surprised that a small groan escaped my mouth. He was now wide awake.

“Kaira?”

His low husky voice sounded so sexy that it made me like my name a tenfold.

“Dangerous….”

“What is?” He didn’t understand the meaning of my words.

“Why does your voice sound so sexy in the morning?”

He blinked at me three times before bursting into laughter. I continued to stare at his sleep carved handsome face.

He leaned in so close to my face as he stared at my Amber eyes. I could feel something tightening in my stomach as my heart started to race. That sexy culprit was driving me nuts! He was making me feel new and different emotions which I had never felt before. I was drawn to him….

“If you flirt with me the first thing in the morning, it could really get dangerous…”

“I didn’t flirt!” I huffed at him as I continued to pout like a little kid. I wondered why I was not able keep up my walls when I am anywhere near him. He always makes me lower my guard which can be quite dangerous for me….

*Grumble*

He chuckled softly before climbing out of the bed.

“I guess my little wifey is very hungry. Change into something comfortable and come down. I will fix something up for you to eat.”

Why was it that my stomach always betrayed me!? I felt so embarrassed…

I grabbed his while cotton T-s**t and some track pants. They were simply enormous for my body! It made me realize that he was indeed bigger than me. I could smell something delicious from the kitchen. I climbed down the stairs as I peeked at him from behind.

“Come here and sit. I will be done in a few minutes.”

“How did you know I was here? Do you have eyes at the back of your head?”

“Hahaha! I could just feel someone staring at my gorgeous bottom!”

“What the! I never stared at that place!”

“Don’t worry I won’t stop you. You can stare all you want!” He turned around to give me a wink with a goofy smile on his face.

I could swear that I was visibly red! I soon regretted my decision of this marriage as I was sure that I didn’t have it in me to resist him!!!
