My Miser +A Storm & Silence Fanfiction+

10. I Want It That Way

As I entered our bedroom, I noticed the room illuminated with a single fire lamp and moonlight. I sat on the edge of the bed.

The bedroom door opened revealing the huge figure walking inside the room with perfectly calculated steps and a glass of water in his hand.

He sat beside me and offered me the water. I gulped it down all at once while he caressed my back.

Damn! You're such a damsel! A man is taking care of you!

He's my man.

And then where's your feminist self who always detest even the idea of being helped by the man?

When he was sick, I was the one taking care of him. So, that's justice for both male and female species. Feminism is still in the air.

'Are you feeling satisfactory enough?' His voice brought me back on earth.

I nodded.

Suddenly, I didn't know what was happening to me but seeing the concern in his eyes for me I frowned.

'Why are you helping me?! I can very well take care of myself! I don't need a man to help me!' I shrugged his hand off my shoulder and glared at him, 'Do you understand? I don't need your help!' I yelled.

His tender face turned into dispassionate.

He held my shoulder again and looked depth of my eyes.

'See yourself, Lillian.You not quite healthy right now. You clearly require aid. Why are you so stubborn? Why don't you assent that you need me?'

Fire was burning inside me.

'You always treat me like a damsel. I'm independent. Why don't you just leave me alone? I don't need you, okay?' I told brusquely.

Fighting with him was the last thing I wanted to do yet I couldn't control my anger simply for some reason.

'Adequate. If that's what you want, have your time, Lillian.'

Saying that he got up and started to walk away but his steps halted when he heard my voice.

'Rick?' I inquired croakily.

Silence.

He didn't turn around neither did he move from his place. He just stood like a proficient granite statue.

And suddenly I wasn't feeling angry anymore.

'I'm hungry.' I said looking nervously at my the wedding ring in my hand feeling remorse for being exasperated a while ago.

Without a single word he barged out of the room slamming the door shut.

I closed my eyes and I sighed.

Oh God! Why did I do that to him?!

As the door opened, I looked up and met with the cold sea-like blue eyes as he entered the room.

'Rikkard? I..' I didn't get to conclude my sentence when he offered me some chocolates ..exactly the same thing I was wishing for.

I smiled and took it from him immediately.

Damn! I was indeed hungry! Maybe because I emptied my stomach.

I immediately dismantled the chocolate and started eating it. It melted very well against my mouth as I closed my eyes and enjoyed.

When I was finally done eating, I looked around and Rikkard was nowhere near my sight. He was already laying on the bed facing opposite side as me.
