C9 Approaching him

SOPHIA CASTILLO

"Welcome home sir," Sarah greeted Adrian before walking out of the room hurriedly, leaving just me and Adrian alone.

Adrian glanced at me from head to toe making me look at myself too because I didn't want him to find any reason to insult him.

He looked away from me and walked into the bathroom. I exhaled deeply once he was gone.

Where has he been and why is he just returning now? I thought to myself.

After some minutes, Adrian returned to the room with a towel wrapped around his waist and I unconsciously and shamelessly looked at his well-structured body and his packs.

"Are you done eye fucking me?" I heard Adrian say and I snapped out of my thoughts before realizing what I had done.

I mentally scolded myself for looking at him when I should avoid him and mind my business.

"I was...wasn't eye..." I trailed off finding it hard to complete my statement.

He clicked his tongue. "Of course, you weren't," he said in a form of mockery.

"If I were to put my dick in your mouth, I am sure you would take them gladly, just like you licked my thumb the other day," he blurted out and I felt my chest tighten.

Trust Damien to know how to hurt someone without having to do much.

Well, I was the one who had given him the chance to because of what happened and I regretted losing control and making him have his way.

I attempted to away from his presence as I didn't want to hear any more words from him.

"Where do you think you are going to?" He asked and I halted on my track.

"Outside," I replied, backing him.

"Okay," he said and I walked away.

After an hour, I returned to the room to see Adrian sleeping and I thanked my stars because I prayed that he was sleeping by the time I came back.

**********

"Good morning," I said to Adrian the moment I stepped my feet into the dining table.

To my surprise, Adrian had asked Sarah to come to wake me up for breakfast which has never happened before.

When she told me he asked me to join him for breakfast, I wanted to refuse because I didn't want to sit at the same table as him and his insulted by him.

Adrian acknowledge my presence but never said anything back to me.

I sat down opposite him at the table as I would.

I ate in silence and without Adrian's eyes on me which was quite a surprise to me. It made me even more nervous.

Adrian emptied his plates in no seconds and left the room. I heaved a sigh of relief. After some minutes, I finished mine too and went up to find him.

I have decided to ask him to let me sleep in one of the rooms in the mansion and to also take me to see my parents.

It took a lot of courage for me to walk up to him and now I was standing in front of him in one of the rooms that looked like an office in the house.

He rose his head to look at me and I swallowed the lump in my throat.

"How can I help you?" He asked me, before looking back at the paper in his hands.

'You can do it Sophia' I said mentally to myself.

"I have come to ask you of something," I began.

"And what is it have you come to ask me of?" Adrian's replied, his eyes still on the paper.

"I...I..." I felt my palm become sweaty.

I had practiced how to speak to him before I came up. I knew it wouldn't be easy for me to speak to him but I never expected it to be this difficult until I was standing in front of him.

"Are you going to say something or not? If you have nothing to say to me, you might as get out of my sight because you are not pleasant to stare at," he scorned.

I felt my chest tighten from his words as usual but I didn't let them bother me.

"I have come to you to ask that I get a room in the mansion," I finally said, looking above his head because I didn't want my eyes to meet his.

If my eyes were to meet his, I might cry and I have promised to never cry in front of him as it only made him feel what he thinks of me is correct.

"Did I hear you correctly?" He said and I felt his hot gaze on me.

"Yes. I do not feel comfortable sleeping on the couch and so I want you to let me sleep in one of the rooms in the mansion," I told him, this time a little more confident than before.

"Well, forget that. You won't be sleeping in any other room except my room and you want to know why?" He got up from where he was seated, towering over my small frame.

I hiccuped and moved back a little bit lost my balance and almost fell the reason I did not fall was that Adrian had caught me.

His hands were firmly around my waist and my hands gripped his shirt, holding him for support so that I wouldn't fall.

A smirk formed on his face. "And here you go again. Being clumsy so that she could be in my arms. You are quite an actress," he said to me and I quickly took my hands off his shirt and stood back on my feet.

'Stupid you, Sophia. Just what do you have to fall now?' I scolded myself mentally as I had given him more reasons to mock me.

"I'm sorry and... thank you," I said, not knowing why I had told him I was sorry.

"Why can't I?" I asked him.
