Chapter 14

《Nathan Harrison》

That’s great, you just made it worse, Nathan. Now she must be super shy with me.

Ugh....you are so stupid Nathan !!

You should just ignore that cutie bra, not picked it!

I took a big sigh while pacing around the room, thinking about the embarrassing thing that just happened. I do tired with the whole ceremony but I have to make sure that she’s alright. The flashed memory of that embarrassing moment just played in my mind. She looked so cute though. Especially when the tint of light red formed on her cheeks. I thought she had a fever, but….*smiles like an idiot*…she must be blushing as usual. So cute though.

I was playing with the game on my phone on the sofa right next to the bed while waiting for her taking shower. Well, I don’t want to fall asleep yet to be honest and this is her room technically, so I should wait patiently for the owner.

Okay okay…don’t misunderstand of something. It was not like that okay! I never think of that, really, believe me.

I do respect her as the owner of this room and it kind of inappropriate for me to fall asleep first and I wasn’t sure where I supposed to sleep anyway. The queen sized bed looks surely comfy enough but I think I should wait for her.

She finally went out form the bathroom after took the shower for almost 15 minutes. I was surprised when saw her; she was wearing lavender pyjamas with her beautiful wavy wet hair which made her look hot and sexy.

I watched every movements of her and she still didn’t noticed that I was kind of staring at her while she was drying her hair with the towel. Sometimes I even pretended to play the game which I already lost several minutes ago.

God, she's beautiful.

And sexy too.

Eh....wait....what I'm thinking?

Arghhh....this pervert side of my mind!

I shook my head for once and turned back my gaze on her. But, she caught my eyes I accidentally dropped my phone on my lap as she was staring at me with her unique grey eyes.

Both of us quickly moved our eyes away. I grabbed back my phone and pretended to look at my upside-down smartphone while for her, I wasn’t sure what she was doing, perhaps still drying her hair maybe.

Geez.....this is so awkward. How can we supposed to live like this?

"N-Nathan ...." she suddenly called my name.

I quickly turned to her, "Yeah...what is it?" To be honest, I kind of feel excited when she called me.

"You must be really tired, I think you should sleep…here on this bed."

Sleep on her bed??

But what about her, I just can't let her sleep on the couch or even on the floor.

That's not cool and not very gentleman’s act though!

"B-but what about you?" I asked her while stared at her who seemed to be nervous all of sudden.

Well, she should be like that, because we will be sleeping together in one room.

"I can sleep on the couch..." she pointed her finger towards the couch beside me.

"No!" I accidentally raised my voice a little that made her eyes widened a bit. "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to raise my voice. It's just....I-I...I don't want you to sleep on the couch or even on the sofa. You might get sick for real, this time."

She then gave me a smile, "You're so kind, Nathan . But I really don't want to trouble you. It's actually fine for me to sleep on the couch.”

I really have no idea that she can be so stubborn too.

I scooted away from the couch then walked closer to her so I could persuade her to change her mind.

"No, that's not right." I protested. "I can't let you do that. "I guess we will be sleeping on a bed together. And I promise I won't do anything weird to you." I lifted my hand a bit as a swear position to her.

Her eyes went bigger, maybe a little bit surprised with my words.

“Okay just forget it, I will sleep on the couch and you will be on the bed,” I corrected my words then walked closer to the bed to take a pillow so I could sleep on the couch.

But she stopped me by grabbing my hand, "Please sleep on the bed, Nathan ." She said softly. "I don't want you to be sick either. “A-and, if you keep insist, I will s-sleep with you on the same bed."

I gulped for once.

I never expect that she will agree with my stupid suggestion.

"O-okay then,” she really did make me stutter a bit.

She nodded while tried to avoid my eyes, maybe felt a little embarrassed with this awkward situation.

I went to the right side of her queen-size bed and lied my back on it followed by Bella which on the left side of the bed. I couldn’t see her beautiful face since she was facing to the other direction.

That’s good though. It may be so awkward if we were facing to each other. Woah…I really couldn’t imagine that!’

Ahhh....this bed is so comfort by the way.

“Are you asleep yet?” I broke the silent so it will be no awkward between us. I just want to be nice with her because she is really a good friend of me.

I think she does because she didn’t answer my question.

“Not yet,” but I was wrong, she couldn’t sleep just like me too.

“O-oh…that’s great,” I don’t know why it feels so joy when she answered me back. However, she still facing the opposite way which disappointed me a bit. I think I should do something so she could turn to me. I know it was awkward, but I just really wish to see her face again. “Thank you for being cooperate with me, Bella. I really appreciate it.”

“O-oh…anytime,” she replied back still not turning back to me.

Just forget it…just sleep already, Nathan.

“Well goodnight, Bella.”

《Isabella Dawson》

I just couldn’t believe with this kind of moment, we are actually sleeping on the same bed!

I know our marriage is just only for a year, and I already signed the document about the contract marriage a few days before our wedding when Nathan brought me to see his lawyer.

I was in shocked in first, about us getting married. Of course I was happy to hear it, but I was sad too because he only married me because of his family's wish, not because of he actually loves me.

I know I can't just force him to love me, but I will try my best to treat him well and make him happy until the contract ended next year.

About the contract marriage, my father didn’t know about it because we decided to keep as secret. Or he might be cancel the wedding or even worse, he might actually make Nathan to suffer for his entire life.

I just can't let my father do that him.’

‘It is because I love Nathan Harrison so much and I just can’t stand to see him in pain. Not ever…

I was just watching his firm back until my eyes slowly became heavier. He already fell asleep so quickly though, maybe was too tired with our long busy day.

Good night to you, my husband, Nathan Harrison, have a sweet dream.

Thanks for agreeing to become my husband, Nathan, even though it’s just only for a year.
