chapter 5

Isabella's POV

Did we just freaking kiss eachother? I think we did if one's lips touching others is defined as a kiss, then without a doubt we kissed eachother. And that not just surprised me but looks like it actually shook Alexa because she hurriedly pulls her head away from mine wanting to pull us apart, kinda loosing her stability again. Not letting the same accident to happen again, I hold her waist firmly in my hands and sit up along with her. Only when I feel she's comfortable and won't fall down anymore, I slowly pull my hands that are wrapped around her thin waist.

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't meant that to happen." she apologises immediately.

"I know." I say and ask one thing that I really want to get an answer from her, "can you do me a favor?"

"Yes." she replies without thinking even once about what I'm going to ask her.

"Can you stop saying sorry for every-freaking-thing?" My request obviously confused her if the expression on her face mean anything. "I want you to stop saying sorry.

You know, you don't have to apologise for things that aren't your fault or for every silly reason. You understand what I mean?"

"Yes, I won't do anything that you don't want me to do." she agrees to my words while her head hangs low.

"Good." I say and gently pat her head, her hair so soft and silky to my touch and long.....

"now tell me why did you trying to wake me up?"

"Oh, that, I brought some fruits and milk for you." she says and shifts her eyes to the night table. I follow her gaze and find a tray on the table.

"Why?" I query and she puts up one of her most favourite expression, confused ofcourse, so I eloborate my question, "I mean why did you bring this?"

"Because you didn't eat your dinner. I saw your food was untouched and brought this for you. You know, sleeping on empty stomach is not good." she responds making my insides feel in a way I never felt before.

Oh? I sighs....

"Thanks." I mutter, for the first time not really knowing what else to say.

Grabbing the tray from the table, I sit up properly and hold the glass. Bringing it to my mouth, I start sipping on the sweet warm milk only to stop at midway when a thought strike my mind.

"Here." I hand the glass to Alexa half amount of milk is still left in the glass.

"I didn't give it to you to hold it like a trophy. Drink it." I say when I see her holding the glass without drinking it.

"You want me to drink it?" she asks.

"Which part of my sentence you didn't understand?" I asked sarcastically.

she drinks the milk within a minute without further delay. Knowing her, I can bet she didn't eat dinner as well and that doesn't has anything to do with me.But I don't want to be the reason for her to get sick so, I offered her the milk and I, for sure, will share these fruits with her as well.

"Eat these along with me!" I murmur while placing the plate that contains the foods in between the both of us.

"Huh!!" she exclaims confused.

"I can't eat all of these fruits by myself but I don't want to waste them as well. So I'm asking you to eat them together. You know sleeping on empty stomach is not good." I repeat her words.

she nods before grabbing a fork and taking a bite of an apple. I do the same as we start eating. I get my eyes fixed on her. Her face looks red while I see her eyelashes blinking repeatedly.

The way she keeps blushing or feeling restless while sitting infront of me speaks otherwise. And, even if I don't want to admit, she looks cute being shy and all. Ofcourse, I won't say it out loud.

Our so called eating together continues in a silent manner and once we're done eating I order one of the guards to collect the tray. We then sleep for the night peacefully, not really though because the previous event keep repeating in my head and appears infront of my eyes when I close them.

It sends shivers, in a very bad way, my spine and makes me furious when I remember how Roy's hands rested on Alexa's waist for a second. I just don't like that and I have been thinking about the reason but I find none, like I don't know why I'm angry it's just that I'm angry. Does that make sense? It doesn't. Do I know about that? I do. And I am getting very annoying at this point.

Turning and tossing on the bed for few minutes, I finally settle on my right side where Alexa's comes into vision. she laid on her back with her hands neatly settled on her chest, they raise up and down as she breathe. My eyes find her face which rested on the pillow peacefully as her chocolate brown eyes are covered with the eye lids. Her cute nose... while her rosy pulp lips, which I might have kissed minutes ago, are put out in a pout .

I reach my hand to touch her..... No.. No.... what the hell am I doing?

I rub my face in frustration.....

But what's really wrong with me? How could I think of touching her? This is so bad. I furiously wipe the sweat that formed on my face and hurriedly turn around, facing my back to her. Sleep is not what I think right now but that should be what I actually do. I close my eyes and try to calm my heart. Sleep feels far away but gradually, maybe like an hour or two, I slowly drift into sleep.
