So I complied with his command but our stance was reversed a bit this time – Nileslaus was now the one resting his face on my shoulder while my arms enveloped his lean h*ps.
The scene was so romantic that I wished a camera was here to capture this exotic moment : Two figures standing with body p**ssed against each other as the silvery moonlight filtered in through some open parts of the gazebo surrounding them in a hazy shimmer with the tantalizing smile of roses blooming all around the garden.
This scene reminded me specifically of that song :
Place – park, scene – dark
Silvery moon is shining through the trees
Cast – two, me – you
Summer k**ses floating on the breeze
Act one, be done
Dialog – where would ya like to spoon?
My cue, with you
Underneath the silvery moon
By the light of the silvery moon
I want to spoon
To my honey I’ll croon love’s tune
Honey moon, keep a-shinin’ in June
Your silvery beams will bring love’s dreams We’ll be cuddlin’ soon by the silvery moon
But the romance was killed the moment I felt him slouch against my body , his whole weight now resting on me almost bringing us both to the ground.
” Nileslaus ” I called and shook him but there was no response instead his soft, even and relaxed breath warmed the back of my neck and I stiffened.
At first I was too stunned to respond until I realized indeed, Nileslaus was sleeping on my shoulder.
I s**ked in a cold breath and let it out slowly, trying to think on how I was going to get him inside the house.
My battery had already died thanks to my obsessive search for the engagement news and checking on the time for Niles’s return.
Non of the security guards who took turns in guiding the mansion were anywhere near the garden and no amount of shaking awoke the sleeping Beauty.
I realized at once the universe was set on f*cking me today .
In the end, I ended up half carrying and half dragging Nileslaus into the house and thankfully Amanda met me halfway through the journey.
But because we sure couldn’t carry Nileslaus up the stairs leading to his room – my waist would definitely snap in two – So Niles ended up in my room.
I breathed in relief while stretching my body. God, my body was aching. I’m going to need my painkillers later.
I simply changed Niles out of his shoes and shirt – He likes sleeping bare and besides ,today was quite hot – while giving me an avenue to stare at his hot , well toned abs to my satisfaction without interruption or fear of being caught – I was definitely drooling at the sight.
Snap out of it Maria ! , I slapped my cheek to arouse me from my useless fantasy – I had literally used my eyes to strip the poor guy.
“You lewd girl ” I hit my head with my palm twice and tore my eyes away from his yummylicious abs reluctantly.
Squatting down beside the bed, I watched him sleep and I had to admit his features looked soft and incredibly cute unlike his usual stoic exp**ssion when awake.
My hand moved of its own volition to his hair but my palm brushed across his forehead in the process causing my face to scrunch up – he was having a fever.
That was when I realized how flushed his face looked at the moment.
Honestly, I was quite surprised; Nileslaus was amongst the healthiest and strongest people I’ve ever known. Seeing him this weak and vulnerable made me realize he was still the same as I am : Flesh and blood.
I grabbed my first-aid kit and took his temperature with the thermometer, he was having a fever of about 40.5 Celsius.
I fed him paracetamol which I literally shoved down his throat cause he clamped his teeth so tight I couldn’t get access to the inside of his mouth – I think he bit my fi**ger in the process.
But the problem was solved the moment I k**sed him and was granted immediate access – yeah, I know what you’re thinking, been there.
So I used my t***ue to guide it down his throat and fed him lots of fluids with the same method.
So I , Maria, spent the rest of the night sponging his exposed skin with tepid water amidst checking his temperature until it went down.
Niles’s POV
I dreaded going home.
Home? I chuckled , but mirthlessly , since when did I began to think of that place as a home. Sure I have properties scattered across several countries which normally houses me whenever I go on a business trip but I’ve never thought of anyone as a real home filled with warmth , joy , and a certain person called Maria until now.
Though I asked Judy to keep an eye on her but I didn’t ask about her location, I wanted to confirm it with my own eyes , check whether she has departed as she normally does.
The ride way was torturous and filled with anticipation – I was feeling uncomfortable, I just wanted to see her. Once we reached home, I didn’t even wait for my chauffeur to land a proper halt and literally flew out of the car.
At first it was just a brisk walk , then a leap, and the next I knew, I was sprinting into the house at full speed.
Heart hammering against my ch*st, I rushed into the living room almost knocking Amanda down in the process.
” Where is she?! ” I asked Amanda without looking back, my feet already leading me to Maria’s room.
I opened the room but I couldn’t find her and the room was arranged neatly aside from the packed duffel bag resting on top of her bed.
I was somehow bothered , relieved and angry ; I was bothered that she was leaving but relieved that her things were still here, and angry she contemplated leaving again upon everything I did today to make things clear.
But that didn’t matter at the moment , we would talk about that one later, the p**ssing issue at hand was finding her wherever she was.
As soon as I walked out of her room, I met Amanda and she said to me ” I think she’s in the garden “
