Sleep Deprivation
“Okay okay! Calm down!” Alexander said and dropped her on the bed.
“Here, don’t murder me!” Alexander said and stared at the woman on his bed who had a flaring nostril.
Amelia’s eyes roamed around the room in obvious dissatisfaction.
Alexander sighed a bit as he crouched down to her level.
Amelia snorted at him and adjusted her sitting position, she looked the other way in no mood to talk to him.
Alexander smiled a bitter smile as he looked up at Amelia, he knew he was a jerk for what he did.
“Amelia, i-I don’t have an excuse for what I did, I was a complete jerk, that I know…” Alexander stared down for a while before looking at Her again.
Amelia didn’t want to hear those stuffs, she was already regretting having a weak heart that was throbbing for him.
He’s so annoying but yet, she was already flustered and her strong opinion to get back at him was fluctuating and plummeting. it wasn’t fair to her!.
“I could have come to get you first, no matter the circumstances and… I really failed you in my duty as your husband, I’m sorry!” Alexander didn’t know how his voice suddenly turned hoarse and low-pitched.
He was literally begging her as he remained crouched down to her level.
“So sorry!” Alexander said small in a whisper.
Amelia’s eyes turn red slowly as her anger began to boil and she couldn’t help but bit her lips to control the fury in her.
“W-why?? but You were the one who told me that Your foe was at the ball… bu-but you still left me there-you-you didn’t come for me” Amelia’s voice creaked as she said with tears threatening to fall down.
Gosh Amelia! Don’t cry in front of him!, Amelia tried to control her emotions.
Mrs Gale just happened to have arrived at the door, when she heard Amelia’s cry, she pursed and gestured for the doctor to come down.
Ah, Alexander is really low on EQ, such a dummy!
Mrs Gale thought as she led the doctor downstairs, the doctor was grumbling as he made his way downstairs.
Inside the room, Alexander couldn’t say a word as he watched Amelia choke on her tears.
His throat tightened as his chest felt so heavy with the pain of seeing her cry.
Amelia wasn’t crying at the fact that he left her, at least nothing happened but…
She was crying at the fact that he didn’t choose her, her love won’t be reciprocated.
This was supposed to be a six months Matter but now, her foolish heart actually ran around.
It calls for Alexander.
Amelia sniffed her snot as she continued “I know this whole thing is a fake and… And that Ash is your girlfriend but..”
“Eh?-Wait! What??” Alexander was surprised by her statement, was this the reason she always said he was off the market and the reason she was keeping her distance from him for a while now??
Amelia shook her head “I know, I know already” She said as she looked down, she wasn’t comfortable talking about this but she couldn’t help but pour out her grieve.
“No, Ash is just a childhood friend, we aren’t dating, I don’t love her and never will I” Alexander said as he looked up at Amelia with a soften gaze.
Amelia was surprised by that “Y-you guys aren’t a couple??”
Alexander shook his head and Amelia immediately felt vexed.
Alexander thought maybe he had cleared the air but was startled by her vexed expression.
“You fool… you left me for a friend??!” That was much more painful for Amelia, if ash was his girlfriend and he left her, that was nothing to him, She would have been sad but agreed to that but now…..
Ash was just a friend to him, how low Amelia was to Alexander??
She couldn’t even compare to a friend.
“I didn’t do that on purpose, i-i, I’m sorry” Alexander said in shame as he lowered his head and Amelia hit his shoulder.
“You’re so evil” Amelia complained as she tried hard so her tears wouldn’t fall.
Alexander sniffed a bit and held Amelia’s hand but she tried to remove his hand on hers.
“I’m sorry Amelia, I didn’t mean to, it’s just that… Ash has Heart disease since she turn Nineteen last year..” Alexander suddenly said and Amelia stopped in her track as she was surprised.
Ash was sick???
“… so when I saw her got paled at the ball, I couldn’t think straight as she has always being a good friend to me, so I couldn’t neglect her as she needs my help at that time” Alex said softly.
Amelia wasn’t a witch, She was beginning to see reasons, even if Ash was schematic but she doesn’t deserve to die, Alex helping her out wasn’t a bad thing.
She would have done same thing.
“She’s still young and promising, she was once my secretary back when I was still working in America and now that she was transferred to Europe, she’s automatically under my care and I couldn’t turn my back on her..” Alexander kept explaining himself so Amelia wouldn’t hold too many grudges on him.
He didn’t like it when he saw that distain and distant look on her face, it tugged him and it really make him depressed.
Before, he didn’t care but maybe it’s this thing, called Love that’s making him too uneasy when Amelia was being distant from him.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Hey, don’t get mad at hubby okay?? You know I won’t deliberately hurt you, we were cool before even till this morning, don’t get angry anymore..” Alexander pleaded at Amelia but she was still pouting as she mumbled to herself while facing to the side and Alexander found it cute as he felt the urge to pitch her cheek.
Meanwhile downstairs, Mr walker, the doctor kept grumbling and Mrs Gale was already fed up with him.
“Old man, aren’t you observant?? Alexander is busy upstairs..” Mrs Gale reproached the insensitive Mr walker who was sitting on the sofa.
“Busy doing what??…” mr walker Snorted as he turn to the other side with a Hmph.
“Busy taming his little wife!” Mrs Gale replied as a matter of fact.
“I’ve got a busy schedule and I need my beauty sleep lady! Who attends to patients in the middle of the night??” Mr walker said as he was immediately pissed off.
Mrs Gale was just in her early fifties and Mr walker was in his late fifties so there wasn’t too much age gaps.
Mrs Gale immediately gave him a hard glare “You are a doctor and the lives of the people should be your utmost concern!”
Mr walker found it funny “does a dead person attend to people?? Till I die from sleep derivation that makes me a legend and a good doctor??”
