49 Leaving The Country Tomorrow

Arianna had a comfortable sleep this time. There was no marrying the short man Big Joe in her dream nor the man she stole from coming after her.

If there was anything she dreamed about, it was of gorgeous blue eyes. Hence, it came as a huge shock to her when those gorgeous blue eyes stared back at her when her eyes finally opened.

"Aah!" Arianna screamed, falling from the bed because, in her bid to come down quickly, she had somehow tangled her legs with the sheet. 

"Oof," She fell on her stomach and it hurt like shit. This was not funny at all.

"Shit!" Elijah cursed, coming over to her side to her feet. Arianna didn't dare to reject his help and clung to him like an octopus as he lifted her back to the bed, his powerful muscles rippling with the effort. 

Carefully placing Arianna on the bed, Elijah leaned over her and that was when he made the mistake of staring into her eyes.
