second chance

SLEEP

IRIS'S POV
I found it hard to turn down the kind offer. By the time they took me to the room. The servant had already finished filling up the bathtub before leaving the room. The room was white with some black on some parts. In the middle of the room was a mega bed whose bedsheet was a design of grey and white squares, bringing out a Sense of cold elegance surrounding the bed, there was a black fur carpet on the floor. The whole room was sparkly clean. I soaked myself in the bathtub, the feeling of tiredness instantly disappeared. After the bath I picked up a white robe that was perhaps left by the servant. Although I was not considered short amongst women, I considered the robe big. I blowed my hair before going to the bed to lie down.

ZACK'S POV
I arrived home and met Eva and grandma at the door.
" Grandma you called saying that you were not feeling well,"
" So you only come to see your grandmother only when she is unwell. Anyway I just wanted to have dinner with you, so go to your room and rest. I will send someone to come and call you later."
" Okey,"

When I entered the room I felt something different despite my lack of frequent visits. I looked at the small figure on my bed. I moved quietly on the carpet so that I could not disturb her. The figure was like a cloud, her small face tinged with redness, she looked peaceful. The robe she was wearing belonged to me. It seemed that my grandma was planning something to happen. I couldn't help myself and touched her small face. This small action seemed to wake her up so I retracted my hand.
" You are awake,"
" You... Why are you here,"

IRIS'S POV
" You used my bathroom, wore my robe, slept on my bed and now you are asking why I am here." He smiled
" This.... This is your room?"
" If not would I be here to take advantage of you," this man was so bold. It's like he wanted to embarrass me to death.
"I will have you know, no one can take advantage of me."
" Then how were you almost taken away that night?"
" I was not prepared then. My sister is a psycho. Who drugs water that is just messed up." I defended myself
"Mhmm," I looked at him. Zack went towards the closet and removed some clothes and threw them to me.
" Wear these pajamas, that robe is too big for you," I looked at the robe that showed my bare skin. Infront of this man I always embarrassed myself. No Iris be strong and act as if nothing has happened.
" Let me choose the clothes myself," I got off the bed and went in the closet. I was surprised this man actually had casual clothes but all black. We needed to go shopping for him. I chose a hoodie and shorts while I chose for him sweatpants and a shirt, I ran to bathroom and changed into the clothes. His hoodie still had the scent of him on it, but the short was too big on the waist.
" Zack don't you have any small shorts,"
" No,"
" Useless,"I said without thinking." Mr. Boyfriend would you like to help your future wife,"
" Didn't you just call me useless?"
" Fine I will do it myself," I walked out of the bathroom with an oversized hoodie and short. I started looking for the equipment, after some time I finally found it. Before I could get the needle he grabbed it from me.
" Hey,"
" Don't play with dangerous objects. If you hurt yourself, I won't forgive you."
" Fine get it, I remember seeing a hospital. I will just go ask for clothes."
I felt the room go cold. The man looked furious. He started walking towards me, I found myself moving backwards until I reached the wall. He leaned in and kissed me.
" So you dare go ask other people for clothes," I felt my face go red. This was our second kiss, not that I am counting .
" No,I was joking, I will do it myself." I pushed him away.
" Bring it I will do it,"
" Really, I want you to make this short into a skirt." I ran to the bed covered myself and removed the short.
" When did you learn this?"
" I didn't,"
" What about the dress you made for me?"
" That was my first time. I just thought of doing it." After he was done I quickly put on the skirt while he put on the clothes I chose for him. I felt a bit sleepy and covered myself with the blanket, before I closed my eyes I felt the bed go down. I looked at the other side.
" What are you doing?" I asked
" Sleeping,"
" Go sleep on the couch,"
" I don't want to feel like a man who was chased by his wife for doing something wrong."
"But..." Before I finished my sentence. My waist was pulled into his embrace and he shut his eyes.
" I'm talking to you,"
" shhh"
----
When I woke I found that Zack was not on the bed . Just then the door opened. " Dinner is ready let us go downstairs,"
" Where did you go?"
" Did you miss me?"
" No, let us go down. I'm hungry,"
We went to the dining and we found grandma there.
" Iris how was your sleep?"
" It was fine,"
After eating, I chatted a bit with grandma while Zack peeled for me some fruits to eat.
" Grandma we are going now," Zack announced. It was already late.
" Why don't you stay with grandma for the night?"
"No, we will come back later."
" Fine, but soon."
----
We reached at Zack's house.
" Aren't you going to take me home?"
"You are home," he threw keys at me .
" What?"
" Didn't you say you like it?"
" Yes...... But...Thankyou" I hugged him. My phone rang, it was Tina.
" Hello,"
" Do you like your house ?"
" You knew about it,"
" Yes,"
" You've talked enough, cut the phone." Zack suddenly spoke.
" Bye, Iris I have to go anyway." She hung up.
" Why did you say that?" I asked.
" You were about to praise her,"
" So,"
" I'm the only one you can praise from now on."
"...."
We entered the house together.
