The Billionaire's OUTCAST

CHAPTER 9 - Sleep with me...

I looked at him closely and realized he's not really sleeping. He held my hand and pulled me to him. I sat down on the bed, my insides trembling wondering if its real. Fearfully I got inside the sheets and he wrapped his hand around me, nudging his head on the crook of my neck.

Within no time sleep engulfed us and took us to dream world. I woke up with a start and realized we were sleeping in an awkward position. Before I could move Irene banged my door hard making it open with aa bang and found us in a compromising position!

"b***h! Get the hell away from my man!" She shouted at me making me unentangle myself from Edward in lightening speed.

"I....I .....I'm sorry ma'am..... Please k...k...keep your voice..umm..down." I stuttered while answering her.

"who are you to tell me to keep it down?" She seethed down at me with anger.

"Because I would really appreciate." Edward answered trying to get up.

I ran towards him to help him up and Irene completely lost it hitting me on my head with the gold clutch she was holding. I fell down releasing Edward who hit his head on the head board.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" He asked her this time calmly.

"I should be the one here holding you not her." She answered looking at me seething with anger.

"We were never meant to be Irene. Just get the hell out of my house."

"I am going nowhere!"

"Then I'll leave and never look back. And I'm leaving with her."

"I'll have all your accounts blocked. Don't forget I have something on you." She told him grinning.

He got up and slumped back to bed. He clearly had no energy and therefore asked me for help.

Irene came over and pushed me aside holding him by his arm. He refused to get up and insisted that I help him. I held him by his arm and we walked slowly downstairs. I asked him where to and he stated, "to your bedroom."

To say I was shocked would be an understatement.

"But you can't sleep in my room?" It was more of a question than a statement.

"And why not? This is my house right?"

"Alright. To my bedroom it is."

We walked to my bedroom and he immediately got between the sheets and slept. I shut the door behind me and walked to the music room to dust. Irene was hot on my heels.

"Last warning b***h! Leave my man alone."

"I have nothing to do with him Irene."

"Its miss Irene to you! Now get on with your work and stay the hell away from me too." She said clicking the marbled floor with her expensive Lamborghini shoes.

I did a wrap up with my work and headed to the kitchen to make lunch. I found Irene in the kitchen making macaroni and cheese. She did the dishes so well that I  drooled at her.

"Lay the table witch. Don't just stand there. And your place is in the kitchen."

I ran off to the sitting room laying the table for two. Once through I thought of heading to my bedroom then decided against it. He's still in there how will I even start laying down with him? I thought to myself slumping on the kitchen floor and wondering what I did to God to punish me like this.

Before long Irene came to me pulling me by my hair and ordered me to go get her fiancé. I got up wincing and rushed to my bedroom.

He was not in bed when I got there and I wondered whether it was humanly possible for a man to disappear into thin air because as far as I'm concerned only women do. Before I could think of looking him elsewhere I heard the shower running and I knew exactly where to find him.

I knocked and I heard a faint hold on. I waited for a little too many minutes without him coming out and I decided to call out again.

I heard him call out my name, slowly and I had to listen again.

"Sir Edward?"

"Em ,help"

I opened the door slowly and luckily he was wrapped in a towel on his lower but unfortunately he was seated on the floor and I had to lift him up again.

As I lifted him, in came Irene and yet again caught us in a very compromising position.

"You've got to be kidding me!" She snapped breathing fire.

She gave me a hot slap making me almost release the firm hold I had on Ed. "Release my fiancé at once!" She ordered and I decided I've had enough.

"If I release him, he hits the ground. He could have died if it weren't for me getting to him. Now move your fake small ass away from me so I can lay him on the bed and f*****g pick up a phone and call his doctor. And for your information I'm not leaving his side." I said all this in one breath.

I walked with him and placed him gently on my bed. God! This man is heavy. I said to myself straightening my neck and back.

"Well, your work here is done. Get out!" She shouted at me making me wince.

"And leave you with him so....OK. Let me leave. Sorry." I muttered and began walking towards the door.

"Em, don't leave. Stay with me." Edward croaked making Irene raise an eyebrow.

"You heard him." I softly told Irene. "But you can stay too.." I finished raising my shoulders. "Did you call the medic?"

"Call him yourself. I need to see my girls. I'm sure you can handle him just right. Just don't let him f**k you because you're be...."

"I am not a w***e like you!" I shouted at her making her huff and leave the bedroom.

I picked the bedroom phone and dialed the doctors number telling him of what had transpired. He told me to watch over him but place a cool towel on his forehead if he had fever.

"Stupid me! I never even checked!" I muttered to myself slapping my forehead and placing my palm in his face and true, he was burning up.

I dipped a towel in Luke warm water and dabbed his face repeating the sequence repeatedly until I heard the door open and in strode the same doctor.

"He doesn't look too good. We need to take him to the hospital." He stated immediately he looked at him and called an ambulance.

"I'm going with him." I told him

"Its okey, no problem. Where's his fiancée?"

"She went out with the girls" I said lowly not wanting for the doctor to think the worst of her. But there was nothing I could have done.

We headed to the hospital I being in the ambulance and wondering how I would get back home. If he was okay with it I would spend on the hospital corridors then go home the following day I thought to myself.

"Well, since we have given him some sedatives you will be the next of kin so, sign here, here and here." The doctor told me illustrating where I should append my signature.

"Now wait here for him to get out of the ER. I will personally let you know once he wakes up. Okay?" He asked me shooting a genuine smile.

"Okay." I answered him taking the seat at the farthest end.

This hospital belonged to the rich and mighty and me being amongst them looked like a pauper coming over to borrow food. Not once or twice did the pretty model like ladies and their rotten kids sneered at me as if I carried a bad smell.

"I know not everyone will like you. But why do I seem to be hated by everyone that I come across?" I asked myself raising my legs and holding them at my knees, placing my chin on them. "Well except Edward," I continued having a conversation with myself.

"Em!" The doctor called out and I shot off the seat walking briskly towards him.

"He's awake and is asking for you. You can see him now." The handsome, but not as handsome as Edward doctor told me smiling a little portraying his small dimple.

"Hey sir. How are you feeling now?" I asked him standing near his bed.

Instead of answering me he simply held my hand and pulled me in for a hug.

"Thanks love, you saved my life. I owe you one." He huskily said.

"But...."

"No buts darling. Come sit here with me. I want to feel your soft hands."

I wondered whether I was the one he was referring to which made me look behind me to see whether Irene had made an appearance.

"Uuumm, sir its not Irene. Its me Em. Don't you recognize me?" I asked wishing he would just be okay and whoever he was referring to, well, that I wished would be...

"And its Em I'm speaking to, my Em." He said smirking showing his beautiful deep dimple.
