Marriage By Law

Chapter Twenty

"You should go to sleep,"

"Hmm?" I looked away from the moon realising I had probably spent a good ten minutes staring at it, so much that my eye lids were getting heavy and it was hard to focus. 

"Its past two, come on, he's not going to come home any time soon anyways," Adrian said as he got up and offered me a hand. I yawned as I held mine out and he lifted me up effortlessly.

"Do you sleep in the master bedroom?" he asked. I looked up, half awake my cheeks feeling warm.

"What?"

"I think I'll go in there, and then Darius can come and I can scare the shit out of him. Damn it Adrian why are you so smart for?" he said talking to himself and losing me half way. 

"Huh?" I asked sleepily locking the door behind me. I felt his arms on my shoulder and saw him lean down, 

"It's okay dear cousin-in law, go to bed, I'll take care of it,"

"Whatever, night," I said yawning and walking towards the stairs. I didn't know how I did but I managed to get to my room and not bothering to change I flopped onto the bed. Too exhausted to pull the blanket and too exhausted to turn the lights off and as soon as I took a deep breathe, I exhaled it along with my consciousness. 

I welcomed sleep.

 But it soon ended. I was't sure how long I had slept before I heard a commotion. Looking at the clock I realised it was somewhere still in the morning am time as my eyes were too fuzzy to notice the time.

"I'M GOING MAN,"

I blinked sitting up and walking to the door opening it. I saw Adrian bend over picking up a blanket and pillow from the ground.

"What's going on?" I asked blinking trying to get my eyes adjusted to the light. 

"Apparently your husband doesn't like sharing a bed with his favourite man," said Adrian sulking like a girl. I let out a laugh shaking my head. 

"There's other bedrooms, help yourself," I said. Adrian walked towards the other end.

"Yep going far away from the insane man," he said. I sighed shaking my head closing the door and walking back to bed. I should have probably switched a light on, but I didn't which meant I walked right into the damn bed and yelped.

"Freaking hell," I said bending down rubbing my knee as I climbed in. The bed heater was on making it warm and cozy as I slipped under the sheets sighing. I grabbed the pillow hugging it feeling like something was missing. 

I closed my eyes hoping back to get to the sleep.

Morning couldn't come any sooner I thought sarcastically as I felt the light on my eyes. I sighed cuddling up to the pillow and sighing. I could spend all morning just sleeping, I mean sleep debt, I must have heaps of it.

I felt the pillows fluffiness envelope me and frowned, since when did the pillow move? Opening my eyes I stared into a dark grey shirt and my eyes widened as I pulled back looking up.

"What the hell," I said giving him a push. He took up three quarters of the bed pushing me nearly over the edge. He opened his eyes looking down, "What?" he asked.

"What the heck are you doing here, and move over you fat ass," I said trying not to fall over the edge.

"Adrian wanted the master room cause it was warmer, the idiot kept coming back so I moved,"

"There are other rooms you know," I said grabbing the blanket he was hogging. Darius sighed closing his eyes and grabbed the blanket covering my face with it.
