Jasira had been discharged five days earlier after spending two weeks at the clinic. she was not in shape but she was really better than when Alejandro visited her.
She hadn’t seen him since he visited her at the hospital, her hand would consciously go to her lips anytime she remembered their kiss. That had been one of her wishes and it came through too bad it was too late.
She knew he had avoided her on purpose but today, she was tired of hide and seek and was going into his room. It was 8 pm, he should be back by now.
She exhaled heavily and left for his room.
“May I come in?” She asked with a gentle knock but there was no reply from his room.
“But he was back.” She muttered to herself. She arched her brow in confusion. Doesn’t he want to see to her to the extent he didn’t answer her knock?
She knocked again and sighed sadly when there was still no reply. Maybe she should leave then but she couldn’t find herself to leave his door.
She inhaled and exhaled before grabbing the doorknob and turning it down, luckily it was unlocked.
She stepped in and was surprised the room was pitch-dark which had never happened before, he either left the room in a blue light or white.
She was convinced he was not at home until she heard a low whimpering.
“Are you there?” She questioned gripping the hem of her dress tightly.
The whimpering came again, now louder than the other time, she stood rooted to the ground confused at the sound.
She ran her hands through the wall finding the switch then switched it on immediately.
Her mouth dropped when she saw Alejandro sleeping on the bed, he clutched the duvet tighter jerking on the bed.
“Alejandro!” She screamed running toward him. “Alejandro?” She panicked climbing on the bed and crawled to him.
His forehead creased with frown and sweat dampled on his forehead rolling to his face.
“Alejandro,” She called softly placing her hand on his forehead and he stopped whimpering surprising her.
She rubbed his forehead gently with her eyes fixed on him, his furrowed brow slowly dissolved and he looked peaceful like he always does when he was sleeping.
She started singing a soft melody while patting his hair, she grabbed his hand in hers as she continued singing. His tense shoulder relaxed and she smiled.
It still surprises her that she was able to calm him, she never thought Alejandro could have a nightmare, he was always uptight and so cold.
After seeing that he was calm and sleeping peacefully, she gently crawled out of the bed but he grabbed her hands tightly. She gasped thinking he was awake but to her surprise, he was sleeping peacefully.
She tried to unclasp her hand from his but his hold was so tight. She sighed getting back on the bed.
She was going to wait a bit till he was fast asleep before removing her hand, there was no way she would sleep on his bed, she was not ready for any punishment.
*****
Alejandro woke up surprised that he had had a good sleep since forever. He wanted to stretch his arms when he felt a soft body pressed up against his back. He managed to turn to his other side and was amazed when he saw Jasira fast asleep beside him.
His heart warmed seeing how peaceful she looked, she didn’t look scared of him as she used to be. She pushed her lips out and murmured some incoherent words.
A light chuckle left his mouth and he swiped her hair from her forehead. “Jasira,” He muttered to himself.
She made him sleep, he had been having nightmares for years now and worsened after the recent incident but today, he slept well surprising him.
“Did you make me sleep?”
“Huh?” Jasira muttered sleepily shocking him.
“Jasira,” He called and she murmured before suddenly sitting up.
“My lord,” She panicked moving away from him. He sat up and dragged her toward him.
“Alejandro,” She called barely audible as she stared at everywhere but his eyes. How could she have slept here? He would be mad at her now.
“You slept here, why?” He asked curious to hear why she didn’t leave him after seeing him like that.
“I.. i.”
He grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to his body, he put his hand over her shoulders and tilted her head up so she could glance at him.
She gasped trying to escape from his embrace. “I don’t bite Jasira,”
“Tell me what happens.” She exhaled and muttered okay.
“I wanted to talk to you last night but was surprised to see you having nightmares, I swear I didn’t plan on sleeping here, I only want to__
He grabbed the back of her neck as he placed his lips on her, she was too shocked to say anything.
His eyes and mind had been on her lips since she was talking earlier and he had been dying to taste her lips once again after back at the clinic.
She moaned when he bit her lips curling his tongue with hers and he caressed her hair. It was like heaven when he kissed her. It’s the second time now and she loved it each time.
“Alejandro,” She called breathless when he pulled away from her.
“That was the second time?” She said more like a question, it still felt like a dream to her.
“Yes, Jasira.” He answered chuckling as he caressed her hair.
His strange behavior was weird to her, she always wanted all this but now, she was confused.
Sighing, she glanced up at him and then groaned at the pain from the stitches from her wounds.
“Are you okay?” Alejandro’s voice came out high-pitched and laced with fear.
“I’m okay.” She replied lowly.
“Alejandro, why are you doing this to me? What is your motive? Tell me; did you have feelings for me?”
