Soft feathering rose brushed against her cheek then went down to her shoulder blades creating an invisible line along her blades before going up to her other cheek.
It felt ticklish against her skin that she would once in a while swat it away and rub the spot it went on top before it would continue and she would swat it away.
He chuckled lightly when he saw her reactions to him using one of the roses he had ordered for her early in the morning so she could wake up to them on this special day.
Adjusting his weight on one of his arms, he leaned closer to her, allowing his breath to fan against her face, and continued what he was doing earlier, and just as he expected, her hand moved above her face to swat away what was disturbing her sleep.
Finally thinking he had bothered her enough, he put the rose back to where the others lay on the bedside table and leaned even closer to place a kiss on her nose but when the unexpected happened.
Her eyes shot open and involuntarily, her hands went up and in the process connected with his nose hard before pushing him off her and sitting up to assess her environment.
Her eyes went around the room she was in but neither the red roses sitting on the bedside table, her husband who was sitting in front of her, or what she was doing here registered or settled in her head.
Thinking about what she saw and what she is seeing now, it dawned on her…
‘It was just a dream’
That was what it was and she visibly relaxed then looked around again at the unfamiliar room she was in and it clicked!
They were in the yacht that Dimitri had promised to take her to for the ‘Special valentine’s holiday week’ he planned out for them.
Her eyes moved around again and she saw the red rose on the bedside table which brought a smile to her face before settling her gaze on her husband whose hand was covering his nose as he threw a glare her way.
A frown made itself static on her brows as she started thinking of what she might have done to have an angry stare directed at her when she just woke up.
Then she realized what she had done and her eyes went wide in shock and disbelief as to what she did to him.
Crawling to sit really close to him and placing a kiss on the back of his hand that covered his nose then taking his face in both her hands to caress them, she pouted and gave him that eyes she was sure would weaken whatever strong demeanor he was putting up for her.
“I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to hit you,” she said softly and kissed his cheeks but he kept glaring at her which was soon going to melt away with a few more apologies and cuddles.
He watched her for a while then let out a sigh.
“You had them again?” he asked ignoring the pain she unintentionally caused him.
She let out a sigh and looked away then slowly nodded her head feeling all that bad feeling rush through her entire system as bits of her dreams went through her mind like a memory that never wants to fade away.
He placed his index finger and thumb under her chin so he could look into the beautiful brown eyes he gradually fell in love with.
“You have me to tell all of it to,” she smiled when he said that “No matter how much you might blabber at the end of the day” he continued and she threw him a playful glare which made him chuckle.
He brought her closer for a hug and she rested her head on his shoulder and let out a sigh as she wrapped her arms around his torso.
This has always been her comfort and she never wanted to leave his arms ever.
“Thank you so much Miguel”
“You are welcome baby” he whispered and kissed her forehead.
They stayed like that for about five minutes before Dimitri let go of the hug to look at her face then saw that her cheeks began to redden and she hid her face in her palms.
“Why are you hiding this beauty?” he asked and she didn’t answer but just kept her face from his gaze.
“You just have that look, every single time” she muttered then looked up at him with a smile.
His lips formed into a smirk and he wiggled his brow at her.
“What look?” he asked her and she rolled her eyes before standing up from the bed to go take her bath so they could start the day.
“Don’t ask like you don’t know” she told him and went in the bathroom but not forgetting to lock it behind her.
“Do you really need to lock the bathroom whenever you go in?” he yelled but got no response from her so he stood up too and walked to the dresser table to check his nose and he could see that it was a little bit pink from the punch it got earlier and he moved them to check if they were broken or not.
Whether he admits it or not, she sometimes has a strong grip for someone that petite.
“Was it that bad?” he heard her say from behind him and turned to look at her in her lilac bathrobe with her hair wrapped in a purple-colored towel and cream-colored bathroom slippers on her feet.
He smiled then held his arms out to her and she walked closer to him and wrapped her arms around his torso with his going around her small frame.
“Not really babe, it is just a small bruise and was not caused by an intentional act so don’t worry too much about it, okay?” he told her and she sighed.
“Does it hurt?”
“A tad bit”
“Want to rub some ointment?”
“As long as it is you doing the rubbing” he whispered in her ear and she rolled her eyes then pulled away from the hug, took his hand, and pulled him towards the bathroom.
She told him to sit on the little stool she begged him to get her just in case she felt like spending so much time in the bathroom. So instead of sitting on the counter, he had told her countless times was okay, she would sit on the stool.
He wouldn't have considered it not until she got him something that he had always wanted so he didn’t think twice when he told her to get them, have them delivered here, fixed, and put them in his account.
“Can you now see that this stool was a great idea?” she asked taking out the first aid box and opening it to get the ointment and squeezing some on her index finger, rubbing them against her thumb before applying it on his nose.
“Yeah, whatever… ow,” he said when she put pressure on it as she applied.
“Sorry, is it very painful?”
“Nah, just a bit numb but it would be fine” he leaned in and kissed her nose.
“Yeah, you will tell me that so I don’t feel bad for hurting you,” she told him and he stuck his tongue out at her.
“Is your tongue injured also?”
“No ma’am,”
“Then keep them in your mouth.” she pack up the first aid box and put them back in the cabinet when she was done then washed her hands.
