What you really feel.
NEXT DAY
Next day I woke up in David's arms. It was the best feeling ever. To wake up in his arms, on his bed, enveloped in his smell and the feeling of contentment. As if I had my entire world wrapped here on this tiny bed.
"Good morning" he said looking down at me, his clear voice told me he had been up for a while.
"Good morning" I muttered back hugging him while he reached out to kiss my forehead.
"What's my temperature status?"
He smiled "its better"
"Oh" I tried getting up but suddenly vertigo hit me.
"Woh! Head rush!" I said.
"You slept a lot"
"Figures! My heads doing loops"
He seemed so concerned that it made me want to laugh but instead I made do with a smile as he said "I'll get you a medicine. It'll help"
I was about to protest but he already left.
How much I hated taking pills. I sighed.
I made it to the bathroom with my dizzy head. Brushed my teeth and washed my face. I went back to the bed, too dizzy to do anything else. I probably felt dizzy because a) I had slept a lot and b) probably because I'm not well.. c) I don't remember when I ate last.. Which is supposed to be bad right?
I turned in bed and put one of my hands under the pillow and one held tightly to my chest. Lying sideways on my bed I stared at the empty wall.
Letting my thoughts drift I didn't know how much commotion was in it. So many things needed explanations. So many things needed to be sorted out. But one thing that was dominating my head was, like always, my friends.
A tear rolled down my eyes just thinking about them. I missed them and what hurt the most was that Daniel and I may never see each other again and even if we did, it would be the most awkward meeting ever. I don't think we would want to see each other after all that anyway. But still, a part of me always will love him. A part that I will never express.
Suddenly I felt something or rather someone climbing up on me.
I looked down swiftly.
It was David. Smiling at me. You would think my heart was used to this, but it was nowhere near ready and yet again, it accelerated at the speed of lightning
He had each of his hand on both my sides and climbing up.
When he reached up he kissed my forehead and smiled while I absentmindedly put my hand in his hair. His amazing hair.
I smiled in return as well.
"What's wrong?"
I sighed and turned, yet again and this time I was on my back; pressed against the soft mattress. Our bodies were an inch apart as he held himself on top of me.
"Nothing."
"I know you better than that."
"Just thinking about stuff."
"What stuff?"
"All the stuff." I said frustrated. I didn't want him to know this, it was going to hurt him plus I wanted to keep something from him. I don't want him to know everything.
He kept quiet for a moment then it seemed understanding lightened his face and he pulled back a little, looking straight in my eyes. He sighed.
"You don't want to do this, do you?" He looked hurt. What was he talking about?
"Do what?"
"Marry me."
"What? No! No, no it's not that. It's just.."
"Just what? Don't lie! I know you! I heard every word you said since the minute you step foot in this house. I know you hate me! I know you don't want to do this but you're doing this for your parents. Do you think I'm that stupid? That I wouldn't know?"
"What makes you say that?" I whispered surprised. I was thinking of something completely different. A brain of a guy worked so differently.
He swiftly got off of me and I straightened up while he paced.
"How stupid am I? I actually fell for this! I feel so vulnerable! I mean I've observed you for 17 years and you've never let any guy touch you let alone kiss you. I can't believe this! And you've met me like what? A few days ago or so and I'm already down your throat? You're doing this for them aren't you? Tell me?"
I was too stunned to reply. I couldn't even fathom he would think this.
David taking this silence as an affirmative said "I knew it! You could have just told me! Just because you're being forced to marry me, doesn't mean I'm going to force you to do anything with me! I feel so horrible- why are you smiling?"
I couldn't even perceive that he would take it like this but I was glad I finally knew what he felt about this whole thing. Seems like I'm not the only one with a lot of commotion in my head.
See, communication always helps in a relationship, if that's what this is.
"I'm smiling because I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that we fell in love in such a short span of time."
"Talk about yourself, I've known you a long time." He whispered.
"Hush, let me finish. Your right, I wouldn't even have let you touch me if I wasn't so unbelievably in love with you even if it was just to convince my parents I was happy. I'm also glad to know that you're not going to force me into anything. You don't need to." I said smiling hugely.
"Now come here and give me a kiss" I said delicately.
He did as I said while smiling and saying "your wish is my command"
I smiled and he grabbed me around my waist. This time our positions were reversed to the first time we kissed.
This time he was on top of me and between my legs; my knees were heaved up. I put my hand in his remarkable hair and around his neck. He kissed me.
The minute our lips touched I was taken in a whole new dimension.
The kiss was a passionate one. Slowly David's hand moved up my back and a low moan escaped his lips.
I made him moan? And to think I have no experience with guys.
The kiss was becoming heated. One of David's hands had made his way up to my face and was putting my hair back.
Soon it was joined by his second one. We were tangled in each other.
All I could think about was him. He consumed every little part of me. My senses were going wild.
All too soon he pulled back slowly.
Our breathing was heavy.
David hoarsely whispered "I love your hair"
"And I love you" I said.
He looked up at me with a different kind of fire in his eyes.
He lightly pecked my lips and said "I think I better leave now."
"No! Why?" I whined, elongating both words.
"Because you're irresistible"
"In a good way or a bad way?" I asked smiling.
After a few thoughtful seconds he answered "both."
He extended his hands with two pills in them
"Before I forget, have these. It'll help. You have a long day today"
"With you standing next to me I can get through a million long days" it felt so true.
He smiled and left.
Dang! And I had so many things to ask him.
Anyways I took the pills and after a while felt better.
Slowly and lazily I got out of bed while someone else knocked the door.
"Come in!"
A female dressed in a maids outfit came in and mumbled a 'good morning'
And I greeted her as well
"I'm here to get you dressed right now for today" she said in a very low sweet voice.
"Alright, when are the guests expected to reach?" I said smiling.
"In one hour, I'll get you something to eat while you can go take a shower."
I smiled "okay"
She left with that.
I did as asked and got in the shower.
After I was done I got out in a towel.
The maid was already waiting for me. As if just on queue my stomach growled with hunger and I ate everything on my plate.
The maid was getting my accessories ready.
"What's your name?" I asked not wanting to keep calling her 'the maid' in my head.
"Flora" she said softly.
"Nice name"
"Thank you" she said smiling weakly
I nodded.
She took out a peach floral dress which was made of a very soft and nice fabric. It overlapped each fold making it look fluffy. It came till my knees and had thin straps that would clasp behind my neck with a V-shaped neck and a little backless. Plain and simple but elegant and stylishly graceful.
The dress was more towards the casual side.
She soon left and I wore it. It hugged my upper body till my waist perfectly and then was let loose.
Since my hair was wet I let it hang loose. Also because the neck was deep, revealing a bit too much.
I put on a glossy and peachy lip gloss, blush on and a bit of mascara.
An hour was almost up so I put on my shoes and accessories that Flora took out for me like earrings etc.
Another knock
"Come in!"
I wonder how many times I will have to say this today.
It was David in a black spotless, sparkling Armani suit, with a white shirt underneath and a black tie. For a second I felt bad for taking over his room but its okay I guess.
We would look cute together.
"Ready?" he asked while extending an arm towards me.
"Not even close" I said while taking it.
"You look amazing!"
"You aren't looking so bad either" I smiled
"Yeah? There are going to be a lot of suited people here and I know you have a thing for men in suits but stick to me forever, alright?"
I couldn't help but laugh when he coated me from the disco night which felt like a very long time back.
"Oh and before I forget, don't let your guard down, be careful, don't say anything stupid or give them any leverage over us. As well as don't reveal too much information regarding our family" I didn't miss the 'us' and 'ours'.
I smiled and said "Aye, aye captain!" like he had earlier.
He smiled, kissed my forehead and led us downstairs.
His hair was smoothly put in a very formal way. It suited him but he looked cute with his usually messy hair falling in his eyes. So what I did was, I got on my tip toes, put my hand in it, like and made it messy again as fast as I could. I laughed while doing it.
"Hey! What did you do that for?" he protested while pulling away.
"You look cuter this way" I said in my defense.
"You're going to pay for this" he said while moving towards me slowly.
Just as he grabbed me we were interrupted by Lindsay.
"We all are waiting for you guys" she said while smiling. "Come on in."
She winked and she disappeared.
"I love you" said David. I simply smiled and mouthed an 'I love you too' as the doors opened to a big hall and we went in while a special Prince's music played.
Everyone turned around to look at us. Actually just me.
Don't forget to review. I really need inspiration for the next chapter, I've literally grown lazy despite having a job and college.
Love,
Zoya.
