Warm
CHAPTER 41
Ariella left the room first and went straight to the living room and lay down on the sofa. She rested for a while then thought again.
She can't focus on one thing because there are many things in her mind.
She was restless, so she got up because she was not satisfied. Suddenly, Anton and what happened throughout the day came back to her mind.
She was confused with herself, so she got up and went out.
She suddenly wondered why the surroundings were dark. When she came out, she saw the dark sky and the scattered stars. Only then did she realize that it was night. She didn't even notice the time because she was busy all day taking care of Anton.
She didn't plan to stay because she just wanted to get some things that's why came back, but when she saw Anton, she couldn't leave. She can't leave Anton when he's sick.
She didn't even admit it, but her actions showed that she couldn't stand Anton.
Her mind cleared for a while as she looked up at the beautiful sky. She was slightly chilled by the wind.
She was unaware that Anton was behind her. Suddenly, she felt his embrace which shocked her.
Although she was shocked, she did not speak. She let Anton go.
"I thought you were gone," he said.
She still didn't speak.
"I know you are still mad at me, but you have not abandoned me. I am sorry, my wife," he added in a soft voice.
She remembered everything again but this time, she was calm. It was as if the heavy burden on her chest had disappeared. She doesn't know how it happened, when and why. But she felt relieved.
"Forgive me, and don't leave me again."
She took a deep breath while closing her eyes tightly to have the courage to speak.
"You should take a rest. Aren't you feeling cold here? Are you still sick?" she asked when she faced Anton.
"Don't worry about me, my wife. I can take care of myself."
"So, I should go," she said.
She immediately grabbed Ariella's hand to stop her from leaving.
Ariella had no intention of leaving and she didn't stand by what she said.
"Please, my wife. Don't leave me anymore. Just tell me what to do to make you forgive me. I'm ready to do everything for you."
She met Anton's gaze. She looked at him very seriously.
"You don't have to ask that, you should know that," she said seriously before going inside again. Anton immediately followed her like a dog following its master.
She sat on the sofa while Anton stood in front of her as if he was waiting for someone.
"You should sleep and have some rest," she said.
"I don't want," answered Anton
"Why?" she asked again.
"I'm not used to sleeping without you next to me," he explained.
She just shrugged and said, "Okay. It's up to you. Goodnight."
Upon saying those, she lay down on the sofa and closed her eyes. Her eyes were closed but she was not asleep. She felt that Anton was still standing and she knew that he was waiting for her.
She ignored Anton even though she knew that Anton was not moving in his place.
For a few moments, she felt Anton approach but she still didn't open her eyes.
She's wondering what Anton is doing while she pretends to be asleep.
A few more minutes passed when she couldn't take it anymore, so she opened her eyes and saw him staring at her.
She got confused of him because he's watching her and there is a trace of happiness in her eyes.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Just watching you," answered Anton who seemed to be in the air meditating.
"It's awkward. You better go to room and rest," she said.
"I can't sleep," he replied again.
"Why?"
"I am not used to sleeping without you by my side. So, if I'm next to you, I- we can sleep- let's go," he explained and his facial expression shows the excitement and joy if that happens.
Ariella didn't know what else to say among the many things she wanted to say to Anton. Now she was just looking at him.
"Let's sleep?"
She took a deep breath before nodding. Even if she didn't admit it, she couldn't stand Anton.
It's the same with him. She is also not used to sleeping without Anton next to her. In fact, she didn't sleep well last night. Anton went back and forth in her mind. There was a time when she asked in her mind what Anton was doing.
"Did you take your medicine?" she asked when they were in the room.
"I am feeling better now. I don't need it," Anton answered.
Ariella took the medicine and a glass of water and handed it to him.
"You have to take it every after six hours. Take it," she said.
Anton doesn't want to take the medicine yet, but he knows Ariella will force him or worse, she might get angry, something he doesn't want to happen.
He took it and drank it.
Ariella lay down and Anton followed. She leaned over and so did Anton.
Her eyes were still open. She hasn't been able to sleep yet, so she hasn't closed her eyes yet.
After a while, Anton hugged her. She removed Anton's hand but he hugged him again.
"Just sleep, okay?" she said annoyed when he removed his arm again.
"Please, my wife. I just want to hug you the whole night," Anton grumbled.
She let out a deep sigh and let Anton hug her.
Even though she wasn't comfortable at the moment, she didn't even realize it when she fell asleep.
During the long night and the passing of hours, she didn't realize that she was hugging Anton while he turned his back to her.
In the middle of the night, she woke up, so she leaned forward. Shr took the phone, opened the YouTube app and scrolled.
After a few minutes, Anton was distracted so he woke up and immediately looked for Ariella.
She looked at Anton.
"Are you not yet sleepy?" he asked Ariella.
"I just woke up suddenly, so I watched it on YouTube," she answered.
"Okay."
He slightly approached Ariella and kissed her lips but his lips were stuck there as if he was waiting for what Ariella would do.
Although Ariella was shocked, she did not stop Anton anymore.
He was still in such a position that he was waiting for what Ariella would do.
She frowned.
He kissed her again very quickly and stopped again to see her reactions. She was slightly surprised by him.
A few seconds later, he kissed Ariella again. This time it was a long kiss and he waited for her to kiss back.
He continued to kiss, passionately, until Ariella couldn't resist and kissed back.
Their kiss became passionate accompanied by the crawling of their hands on different parts of the body.
Ariella didn't realize what they were doing.
Both of them felt warm.
Ariella was on top of him as they continued to kiss. Everywhere their hands
crawl while feeling the excessive heating of their body and emotions.
Anton gradually took down her clothes while continuing to passionately kiss that almost both of them were out of breath.
