Eira’s POV
He looked at me. "What are you smiling for?"
I shook my head. "Nothing."
"I must look very handsome up close, more than I already am?" he said, his own lips curving into a smile as he focused back on the task.
"Yes. You are the most handsome man I have ever seen," I replied, and I wasn’t lying. In my eyes, he was. He caught my heart the moment I laid my eyes on him for the first time.
"And you are the most beautiful girl I had ever seen," he replied.
He must be exaggerating, as there were many beautiful girls in the pack, far better than me. For example, that Sophia. She was a little annoying, but there was no denying she was a beautiful and attractive girl around. Like an enchanting fox, she got everyone’s attention. Her beautiful blond hair added to her charm even more.
But the man I loved said I am the most beautiful for him, so I will accept the praise gladly. It’s enough for me to be beautiful in his eyes alone.
"Once more lost in gutter?" he asked as he put the bottle aside.
I quickly covered my forehead with my hand and leaned back so he wouldn’t finger-flick it again. And I shook my head in an instant. "Not at all... I swear..."
He chuckled softly, as if finding me react this way very amusing. "Alright, get inside the sheet. It’s cold."
I moved quickly to the headrest to sit, but he said, "I am sure you don’t want to hurt your back by sleeping in a sitting position."
I understood and lay in the bed, and he covered me with the sheets while lecturing me a little. "You should wear full clothes while sleeping on cold days. I will let it slide tonight, thinking you wore it to tempt me, and it truly worked."
"I didn’t..." I tried to say, but he laid next to me in bed and I shut my mouth.
"We are just sleeping side by side. Making it clear before you let your mind run wild," he said, and slipped one hand below my neck, pulling my sheet-covered body closer to his. "Just so you won’t feel cold."
Excuse to keep me close. But well, I will accept it.
I gathered a little courage and turned to my side to face him, burying myself in his embrace, my face against his nape. I could inhale his scent. I slept like a child.
"Good night," I whispered.
"Good night," he replied and held me even closer. His warmth and his scent were truly comforting, and I fell asleep in no time. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
The next morning when I woke up, the sun rays had filled my room. The sun was out, but...
I looked around the room. He was gone.
I sat up, feeling bad that I didn’t even get to say goodbye to him, and instead I slept like a pig.
What kind of a girlfriend am I?
[This was the best night I have ever lived through, because the girl I love was with me.]
