Mr. Huston

After that episode.

"Ma'am, please accept my apologies. I did not want to hurt you, "Pom stated.
"It's okay," I said as I zipped up my dress.
"But, ma'am, your back?" Pom asked.
"I know Pom. But don't worry, it'll go away shortly, "I retorted. To hide my back, I moved my hair clip and untied my hair.
"I don't need to tie my hair," I said.
Suddenly, a young lady approached and said, "Ma'am, please come with me."
I followed her. She eventually left me in the same room where I had changed at noon. They did an amazing job decorating this room in a short time. I took a peek around the room.

Please, ma'am, take a rest. "Sir will be here shortly," she replied, leaving me alone in the room. I sat on the bed's edge.
My heart was racing at a breakneck pace. Although I had a bath, I am still sweating profusely. I stood up and walked over to the window to open it.
It's about to get dark. I was abruptly startled by the sound of footsteps behind me.
I was afraid to glance back, and my heart stopped for a moment. I was startled to hear the door being locked.
When I turned back, I saw the back of a broad-shouldered man. Then he turned back to face me, and our gazes locked. Somewhere, I saw those eyes. I'm familiar with him, but I'm not sure who he is. I turned my gaze to the opposite side. I'd heard Mr. Huston was an old guy, but he turned out to be rather attractive and young.

Derek's point of view.
Elena, is it you? I couldn't believe it when I found out I was married to you. My heart started racing when I saw her in person in front of me.
"M-Mr. Houston," she blurted out. Hearing her voice regained my senses.
I said, "Yes."
She introduced herself: "My name is Elena D'Souza."
"Yes, I know," I said with a smile.

Elena's point of view.
I was talking with him while staring down at the ground. I gulped, unsure of what to say to him.

I noticed Elena was nervous and sweating profusely. I began undoing the buttons on my shirt. Elena drew her gaze to him.
No way. I made a fist. I'm still not ready. What am I supposed to do now? I'm not sure how I'm going to stop him.
He abruptly spoke up, "Elena, you should change your clothes. It's quite uncomfortable." He entered the washroom after saying this.
I instantly lowered my head.

I went to change into something more appropriate for the situation. When I opened the closet, I saw that all of the clothes were extremely exposed. How am I going to wear these kinds of dresses? I turned my gaze to the bathroom's door.

The opposite point of view.
Water is splattering all over the place.
She was nervous and couldn't recall who I was. Maybe she thinks I'm a bad person after what I did. She didn't seem to care if I stayed or not. Once, I spotted her with Ron. What relationship does she have with him?
Dammit.

When I came to my room, Elena was already curled up under the blanket.
She has already dozed off. I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her back.

It was just a few minutes ago.
Elena's perspective.
While glancing in the mirror, I bit my lower lip. I looked down at my nightdress. Through this nighty, I could see my inner dress. While he is showering, I need to get things done.
I don't think he'll bother if I pretend to fall asleep. I jumped into bed as quickly as I could.

Now,
I slid down alongside her slowly. She snatched the entire duvet. What should I do now? She is completely cloaked from head to toe. Is she afraid of me? I cast a glance behind her. I took a big breath and exhaled slowly. Should I call her? With narrowed eyes, I glanced at her.

Elena's point of view.
It's a touch chilly, but I wrap myself in the blanket completely.
Isn't it possible for him to tell the maid and ask for another blanket?

Derek's point of view.
I fixed my gaze on the ceiling. I turned around after a while. She is my wife, but I'm not sure why I'm so anxious.

Elena's point of view.
Is it appropriate for me to give it to him? I gently turned around to face him. He was facing the other way around. He could have asked for a blanket from a maid, but he didn't. Obviously, I'm the one snatching his personal belongings. After leaving a side of the blanket for him, I re-laid. After a minute, I turned back to see him, but he didn't take it. Is he soundly dozing off? I cautiously sat up and peered around the side. His eyes were shut. I laid beside him again after putting the duvet on him.

Derek's perspective.
It's bitterly cold outside. Let me call a maid. I was ready to get up when I felt a blanket being placed over me. I hastily shut my eyes. Elena! My heart began to race at an alarming rate. You just put the blanket on me. All I want to do right now is hold her in my arms.

Elena's point of view.
I put the blanket over him and sat alongside him. He is the man with whom I am married. This is something I need to accept as soon as possible.
She fell asleep while thinking about all this. It's a frigid night for them.

The opposite point of view
Paul returned home. "Paul, where have you been?" Anne asked. I didn't respond and was on my way to my room. Mom, on the other hand, raised her voice and said, "Paul."
I said, a little tiredly, "I was looking for Elena."
Mom said, "Paul let her go okay." I ignored her, but she asked again, "Are you listening to me?"
I stated unequivocally, "No." I went to my room, saying this.
"Damn this boy," Anne grumbled bitterly.

Next morning.
Elena had slept off in Derek's arms. She slept well in his arms all night.
It was last night.
At midnight, I felt a cool hand on my chest. Elena hugged me as I slightly opened my eyes. Her teeny-tiny body was encircling me. She was soundly sleeping. I smiled at her and gently moved her hair away from her face. I put my hand on her cheek. "Elena, you are simply breathtaking. I never expected you to be mine." I gave her a peck on the cheek and pulled her close to my chest. I truly wanted to make this night special for us, but I knew what I did before wouldn't be possible. Sleep peacefully, my queen.
Recently.
When I opened my eyes, Elena was in my arms. In my arms, she was blissfully asleep. I ran my fingers through her hair. Have I ever imagined you in this way, Elena? But see, you are sleeping in my arms now.
