chapter 6 love

Dark clouds finally hugs the sky, I went upstairs to finally rest my mind, I could still hear Sky's loud voice echoing in my brain, with her I feel unusually calm, she has been a great distraction, I almost forgot for once how terrible my life was, my mind drifted to last night I flush red as memories float my mind, riping off all the dresses on my body I stepped into the bathroom.

I scope his bathing gel all over my body, it's sweet masculine smell warm my nostrils, and at some point I wished he was here with me, after putting on some warms clothes I wrap myself with the duvet before picking up my phone, I wanted to text Carden to find out when he'll be coming back, , surprising I don't have his number, I ended up texting Emily and got ignored as usual, time went by pretty fast and Carden was finally home, he looked like something big was bothering him and I couldn't help asking out of curiosity

," you look like you've seen a ghost, are you alright. I move closer to him standing by his side. I can see the raw emotions on his face. I catch a fleeting smile in his lips, as if happy that I was concern, but when I look closely, he turns away as if nothing had happened, his arm was sucked in blood.

"Carden... your.... Arm is bleeding, he turns to me his tense features melting into a gentle expression, " it's nothing I'll be fine, he looked so unbothered as if having a bullet in his arm was an everyday thing for him.

" We need to treat your wound or it might get infected, I pulled him back, insisting on helping him.

"Get the first Aid, his voice was stern making it more of a command than a request, I rolled my eyes grab the first Aid and rush back, I succeeded in extracting the bullet and wrapping the wound tightly with a bandage.

" we still need to get you to the hospital, he glares at me, eyes narrowing as if trying to piece my intentions, but I was genuinely concern for him and I hated myself for that, he looked angry at the fact that I was taking care of him but couldn't resist, knowing fully well I won't stop untill he let me help. I took off his shoes laying him gently on the bed,

" Am not paralyzed I can get in bed myself, that's the Carden I know, his words meant nothing as I pulled the duvet to his chest.

" what happened to you, is your life in danger or something? I couldn't stop my pounding heart from exploding in fear, he lets out a soft sigh and turns his head gazing out the window, he clearly didn't want to talk about it. I stayed up all night taking care of him as he slept peaceful, I didn't even realize how much I had fallen for this man and the thought of my heart being crush sent shivers down my spine.

I walk into the room with a cup of coffee and met Carden still fast asleep, i brush a few strand of his thick hair off his face secretly admiring his perfect cheek bones, he blinks several and finally shut his eyes open, " I brought you coffee, the scent of distrust hangs heavy, mingling with the aroma of coffee wafting from the cup at the bedside cupboard.

" I can take a sip if you think it's poison, the words hurts deeply as they left my mouth, how could he think that low of me, 

" Did you stay up all night. The dark bags under my eyes hinted a sleepless night, he scrutinize me, analyzing every twitch and furrow of my brow as he awaits my answer

" You were running a fever, you needed someone to take care of you, his hard expression soften and a glimpse of gratitude escape his eyes before returning to its usual state, I turn to leave, but my legs got entwine and I stumbled backward, I close my eyes anticipating the pain, A pair of strong arms wrapped around me pulling me against a hard surface, " aaahhh. I crash against Alex's chest, 

" are you alright, you should watch your steps, what if I wasn't here to protect you, his voice held care and a mixture of Anger. Anger towards the fact that I might have gotten hurt,

as I separate myself from him, he watches in silence, his eyes never leaving me. " You should rest, he ordered, I actually needed rest my eyes were so heavy, I laid on the bed and immediately my head hit the pillow I dozed off.

 I slept through out the day, and Carden never for once left my side, Sky brought dinner, she couldn't say a word to me Infront of Carden, but manages to flash me a beautiful smile, I smile back as she place the tray of food on the bed site cupboard,

Carden was seated on a couch on the far end scrolling through his laptop and glaring at my direction from time to time, he wasn't interested in the food, and I had to eat an entire bowl myself, Sky cleared the table and left the room,

" am bored to Death, can we drink?. I rush towards Carden slamming his laptop shut. " No, he sounded rude as usual but I could only giggle finding pleasure in his misery, Sky told me he hated distraction when his working. I rush to the wine bar in his room, pull out an expensive bottle of champagne and two glasses, I deliberately shake the champagne and open it, pointing it to his direction it's substance rushes out in full speed and pour on him like showers of blessings.

" What the hell....., I capture his gaze with a confident smile I wasn't scared of him any more and any thing that I can do to get him to kick me out will definitely work for me. Taking deep breath he tries to calm the storm of anger building inside him, he steps forward and I move back, closing my eyes anticipating the rode of his anger, I felt cold liquid drilling from my head down to my skin, and I turn around, Carden had emptied an entire bottle of wine on me, Anger mixed with shattered pride and who knows what else, had me raising my voice causing it to echoe through out the last floor. " Why did you do that. It's hurt to finally take a taste of my own medicine, he let out a chuckle clearly mocking me.

" Let the party begin, I won't mind abit if distraction.
