Get Me Married

Chapter 33: Her well being

I stared at the figure in front of me while different thoughts ran through my head, thoughts relating as to why he was here, in my room at such ungodly hour.

“Nightmare?” He asked and I sighed and gave him a nod.

“What are you doing here?” I asked and his brows knitted at me in the dark, then he went quiet.

“I think you should leave already” I added when he said nothing. He was a man and not the friendly kind of man a woman should have as a husband at that point. I had all right to be scared that he was right in my room.

“I don’t know why I am here” he suddenly said and I went mute and I stared at him.

“But right now I want to be sure you are okay” he added and I narrowed my eyes at him.

I didn’t understand what was going on with him and why he was acting so strange. The Jordan I knew would never act the way he was acting and though it was heartwarming to know he could be caring, it also scared me.

“I am fine really” I said to him and he gave me a nod.

“Go back to sleep then” he said and I shook my head.

“I can’t” I simply said.

“Why?” He asked.

“I am scared of what I dream about when I close my eyes” I opened up to him.

He narrowed his eyes at me for a while before he said anything else.

“You are scared no one would save you and that’s why they don’t. Take that thought off your mind and just sleep” he said and a little smile crept to the side of my lips. If Jordan was really so

caring, I loved seeing it.

“I have tried that. It never works and…….”

“Shhhhhh……just do what I say” he shushed me. I sighed and found myself going back to bed. I covered myself with my duvet and shut my eyes tight.

“I am right here, no one is going to hurt you” he said and I smiled again and for some reasons I trusted his words and slowly went back to sleep.

“Do you think Sam really kidnapped you?” I heard him ask from my subconscious.

“Yes…I am sure she did” I replied him.

This time my dream became worse and different.

“I was in a cell with mice and more insects and my hands were tied to something. My gown was torn and dirty like I had been there for a long time and I would yank on the rope so I could get free but each time I did that, I ended up hurting myself. It would hurt so badly, I would cry and scream for help and no one would come. I walked around the cell, the rope was a lengthy one and occasionally I would hit my hands against the bars of the cell just so someone could hear me and help me get free.
