The Arranged Bride

Chapter - 42

Sophia's POV

" Good morning, Sophia." Nick pecked my forehead, waking me up. As I opened my eyes I was welcomed with the sight of a smiling Nick.

" Good morning." I yawned and looked at him.

" You're here so early?" He chuckled at my words causing me to frown.

" I was here only and it's around ten , not so early I guess." I smiled sheepishly at him on realising that I had been sleeping for about twelve hours straight.

The medicines were making me drowsy and last night I was out just as I closed my eyes.

" Nick , you should go home and take rest. You look so tired." He was here for two continuous days and his face showed signs of pure exhaustion.

" Not happening. I will not go home and moreover I am not tired . I slept here." He pointed to the sofa in the room. Seriously? Just by looking at it, one can tell it is uncomfortable.

" Oh you aren't tired ? But the eyebags suggest otherwise." I narrowed my eyes at him to which he sighed.

" Trust me Sophia when I say that yesterday I got the best sleep in days. The last few days when you weren't there, I didn't get an wink of sleep. Being here , close to you, keeps me sane." He gently caressed my cheeks. I instantly melted at his action and words.

" Fine , atleast go and shower. You stink." I scrunched up my nose showing how bad he smelled though it wasn't true.
