Stay with Me by Awesomekristii (jenna bush book club .TXT) 📖

I sighed resting my head against the seat. No one could win over her. My headache worsened at that.

Now from where would I get someone?

••••••

I walked inside the house at around ten and to my surprise there was no sight of Lilah anywhere. Where was she? I kept my coat on the couch and walked towards the kitchen.

She wasn’t there.

I moved out and found the food kept on the dinner table but no sign of her. I trotted upstairs towards her room and opened the door but the bed was made and again she wasn’t there.

My heart unknowingly thumped hard and a different emotion crept in which I haven’t felt for year’s now.

Fear.

Where was she? I walked towards my room knowing there is the least chance of her being there. And surely she wasn’t there. I even walked towards the balcony and called out her name in the entire floor but she wasn’t there.

I felt all the negative emotions creeping in me and I don’t know what should I do. Where was she? Was she fine? I shouldn’t have left her alone. I walked down stairs to ask the guards if she has went out when something caught my ears. I heard a few sneezes from the west part of the mansion and I hurried towards there. I walked into the library and she was there cocooned in the sofa with a book in her hand.

She was rubbing her nose with a tissue and got back to her book again. No care in the world and here I was almost hyperventilating not knowing where she was.

She would the death of me.

“What are you doing?” she almost jumped in her place at my words and I saw her large green eyes widened. Her lips settled in o' and I restrained my every urge to run towards her and grabbing her waist, press my lips against her in a deep senseless kiss.

But obviously I didn’t do that. But something moved inside me and not calculating my actions, I walked towards her and engulfed her in a hug.

I had never done this. Not after that incident.

I have to bend by my waist to reach her level and my arms wrapped around her tiny waist fitting perfectly like the pieces of a puzzle. I could feel her stiffened body against me, until it relaxed and her arms came around my neck.

They’re soft as they touched my skin and I couldn’t tell how I have hold my every urge to press her closer to me and fit my head in the crook of her neck.

She felt so warm and there was such a sweet rose smell from her that I found myself almost intoxicated without having a drop of wine. She was enough to make me high, drowning in emotions and feelings I didn’t know. I never discovered.

And I spoke something I never did before.

“I thought you’re gone.”

Thank you for reading.

Drop your thoughts.

Love,

Author

P.s.- I have posted a question in my blog last day regarding my confusion in updating the chapter and with the response I received, I will not be updating on a daily basis.

It will be 2-3 days later on, but instead of just one there will be 2-3 chapters.

I hope this is fine with you people.
