Chapter 28
Darius
“Nibbles,” I held her forearm and whispered her name. She was thrashing around, sweating badly and tears were rolling down her eyes but still, her eyes were tight shut. That was when I realized Reina was right. Something was wrong with Angela.
I called out her name again to wake her up but she wasn’t regaining consciousness yet. I didn’t have any other choice than to climb the bed and hug her tightly against my chest in an uncomfortable manner. She tried moving away, she struggled to get away but her struggle soon receded and her screams turned to whimpering. She grabbed hold of my shirt at my back and soon burst into tears again.
I knew she was awake but I didn’t want to say anything yet. I wanted her to take all the time in the world to calm down. As long as she kept wanting me to hold her like this, keep wanting to be in my arms, I’m cool with it. The discomfort I was experiencing didn’t matter, as long as I got to the shoulder she cried on.
“It’s okay, baby. You’re fine now,” I assured her. She heaved loudly before another heartbreaking sob ripped out of her chest. She was struggling with something and I hope she trusted me enough to open up to me.
“I’ve got you,” I meant it. Every single word that came out of my mouth that night, I could swear by it. “I’ve got you, baby.” I repeated.
For what seemed to be like ten minutes, Angela didn’t let me go. She leaned on me. That tugged at my heart but watching her break down like this breaks my heart more. I want her to be happy for eternity and not sad for just one day.
When she finally released my shirt, she moved back from me, letting her body fall off mine voluntarily. I wanted to hold her hand but she moved them away and ran her finger through her thick, curly hair. Before I could get a glimpse of her face, her hair hid her from me.
I looked around the room for water and soon found a glass of water and a jug on a table close to the bed. I left her on the bed. I poured some water into the glass while my eyes were fixated on the drug that was beside the glass. I gave her the water. She collected it and muttered what I assumed to be a thanks.
“Do you need anything else?” I asked her. She shot me a look before shaking her head. Once she was done with the she dropped the glass on the small stool beside the bed and adjusted herself.
“You want to go back to sleep,” 1 rhetorically asked even though I knew that was what she was about to do. She nodde
“Do you want to talk about it?” I was expecting a wordless response from her again but that didn’t end up happening.
“There’s nothing to talk about,”
I refused to believe her. “There’s definitely something to talk about. It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it now but believe me, if you need anything, just call me,”
She scoffed. I knew she didn’t believe I could go to the end of the world for her. I would do anything to make her happy and feel alive again. My heart yearned for the little girl who offered the her smile years ago. The same one that made my heart come alive after several years of living with my demons. If my life is what would make her go back to the girl she used to be. I would gladly lay it on the bare ground.
“You want me to believe that,”
I nodded. “Don’t just believe it, let it be a part of you,” I whispered. I placed her palm on mine, turned it towards me, and kissed it. That was my promise to her.
“You made that same promise five years ago, Darius, and you still ended up walking away. What’s so different now?”

I messed
up. I threw away someone who meant the world to me. The only woman who could see through me. “Now? I know my life is meaningless without you. You make me human, Nibbles, you understand me,”
“Bur
your
don’t understand me. You do things in your way and in ways you think will be good for me not in ways that I want,”
“I know I’ve messed up quite a lot but give me a chance to make things right. One step at a time,” I asked.
“Things can never be the same between us, Darius. I’m no longer the little girl I used to be. You’ve lost that girl years: years ago. I’m sure you’re being this romantic because you want to get into my pants again,”
s and
“Yes, I want to get into your pants again.” I started. Her eyes went wide. I could see a bit of disappointment flash through them. “I would be crazy if I didn’t want to touch you again but I also want all of you, your mind, your heart, your soul,”
“I want none of you, Darius. None of you.”
I squeezed my eyes just as I felt a tight squeeze in my heart.
“You should get some sleep,” I urged her.
It was hopeless and stup*d trying to talk to her. She wasn’t even in the right state of mind. She just woke up from at nightmare and I’m here bombarding her with words of my feelings when all she needed was rest.
I might be as selfish as people say. Still, I don’t want to be unreasonable,
“You need to rest,” Her eyes were on me. I couldn’t read her this time or maybe I didn’t want to believe the look on her face.
“Do you want me to stay?” I queried..
She rolled her eyes and looked away. “No, you should leave,” My eyes went down to her feet unconsciously and I could see her tapping them against the foot of the bed.
I smirked.
I moved
way from the bed to remove my shirt and my belt and hang them against the arm of the couch.
“Don’t you think this room needs some feminine touch?” I asked her.
That made her turn to me. “That’s none…” Her words became stuck in her mouth once she saw me half-naked and wall
to her bed.
“What are you doing?”
“Spending the night in your room,”
She glared at me. “What do you mean? You need to leave. Why are you sitting on my bed?” All her words and questions fell on deaf ears. “Don’t touch me or else I’ll castrate you,” I didn’t listen, I moved her to the other side of the bed since I knew she wouldn’t agree to that if I asked.
“You should sleep on the couch,”
I placed her head on her pillow and turned to her. “You should pretend as if I’m not here and get some rest,”
“How do I pretend or get some rest when you and your ridiculously sweet scent are all up in my space? You need to..” I interrupted her words by snaking my hand through her hair and kissing her forehead.
That seemed to get her to shut up.
“Sleep baby.
You have the whole of tomorrow to fight me.”
