Chapter 77: Lovey-Dovey
"Ah!" I shouted as I got up from the bed but immediately felt a pain in my back. "What the—" My eyes widened after seeing my naked body, causing me to pull the blanket to hide it, but there I saw Night lying beside me. He’s shirtless and I can see his firm muscles making me gulp.
"Why am I—"
The memories from last night started flowing inside my head causing me to gasp as I covered my mouth. ’Oh my god. You did not!’ I started panicking as I felt my back hurting. Why does my back hurt? D-Did we really do something outrageous last night? But he’s not my husband— I mean, he is! But we don’t love each other! "Oh my god."
"Stop moving around." I heard Night saying while grunting. T-This jerk! Did he really take my virginity!?
"Y-You! Did you do something to me while I was out of my mind?"
Night got up with a frown and he flicked my forehead causing me to groan as I hold onto my forehead, forgetting that I am butt naked. The blanket I was holding onto fell and now I’m showing my bare chest to Night causing me to scream at the top of my lungs. "Stop looking at my body!"
"Why would I look at your child-like body?" Night said as he gets off the bed while yawning. Isn’t he too relaxed about this? "And it was you who asked me to do those things to you." He said.
T-T-Those things? "W-What kind of things?"
I only heard him chuckle as he gets inside the bathroom. My heart was beating too loud and I can feel my face heating up. ’Oh god, Noelle Faith Alcantara! You did not!’ I thought while I covered my whole body with the blanket.
B-But why would Night do something absurd like that towards me? Towards someone, he doesn’t even like? He hates me! "I made a grave mistake." If I can go back in time— wait! It’s not my fault. It was because of what Makoto put in my drink.
"Stop fussing around." Night said the moment he got out of the bath. He’s only wearing a towel to cover his bottom and I can see his topless body. "What? Did you fall in love again?"
"A-As if!" I’m only caught off-guard. "Who will fall for a jerk like—" I couldn’t finish my sentence when Night moved his face towards me. ’W-When did he get near me?’
I saw a smile on his face. It’s weird! Is the world going to end? Why is he smiling at me? "I like it more when you beg for my touch." He said thus making my face heat up and I quickly got up from the bed while still covering my body. "What was it you told me? Don’t stop? I guess you really like kissi—" I used my right hand to cover his mouth and to stop him from talking.
"Stop teasing me." Night raised an eyebrow and all of a sudden he kissed my hand causing me to move away. "What was that for!? Disgusting!" I said as I wiped my hand on the blanket, and there I saw a grim expression on Night’s face.
"What do you mean disgusting? You like kissing me."
The memories of last night make me want to disappear. ’I did tell him to not stop kissing me, but I was out of my mind because of the drug.’ "Y-You didn’t do anything to me after I passed out didn’t you?"
"With that child-like body?"
I threw a pillow at him which he caught with one hand. "That’s right! So what if my body’s still developing? You didn’t take my virginity didn’t you?"
Night laughed. That’s right, he didn’t just chuckle, he laughed. "I did not." He said as he went inside the walk-in closet of this room. H-He did not? That means we didn’t do adult stuff like s-sex? I don’t even know how sex works! This is why the Philippines need sex education, I feel so dumb.
"You should take a bath since your attendant will be arriving soon to wake you up." I heard him say while he was in the closet.
"Also, we’ll be sleeping here for the time being since Shiho and the others are going to stay in this house." Night added.
Oh for crying out loud! I don’t even want to stay here even more than this. Wait, if we didn’t do the dirty stuff yesterday, why does my back hurts? "You’re not lying to me when you said you didn’t take my virginity away, right?" There was no response from Night. "Why does my back hurts then!" I’m starting to panic again; I won’t be able to get married to someone I love anymore!
"I wouldn’t be able to get married to someone I love anymore if I’m no longer a virgin!" I screamed as I started punching the pillow to my right. "I freaking hate you."
I felt someone holding onto my arm, and of course that someone is no other than Night. "Your back hurts because you fell off the bed. Don’t start making assumptions, idiot." He said with clothes on but his hair was still wet.
"And if that someone you love doesn’t accept you for not being a virgin, he’s trash." He said catching me off guard. "Go and take a bath now. Shiho will probably call us for breakfast." Night added. Weirdly, he’s talking to me like this as if he’s still in a good mood despite sleeping in the same room as me, even though I forced him to kiss me yesterday.
’Why did my heart flutter hearing him say something like that? Wake up! This person is a monster! Don’t be fooled!’
"F-Fine," I said dragging the blanket towards the bathroom. "Call Rika for me. I don’t have a change of clothes here— Oh that’s right! Why am I butt naked?!"
Night slapped his forehead. "You spilled your water on your clothes, didn’t you?" Ah, right. I did that. Since I confirmed all of that, I went to take a bath and waited for Rika to arrive. Rika helped me change into new clothes and dried my hair for me in the bathroom. But as soon as we got out, I saw Night still lying on the bed. "You’re finally done."
"Did you wait for me? No, why would you wait for me?"
Night sighed. "Grandfather will be attending the breakfast. Stop making a fuss and let’s go already." He said as he pulled me out of the room, leaving Rika inside that messy room. He’s still holding my hand while we walk in the hallway.
"Do we really need to hold hands?" I whispered to his ear.
"Yes."
Is it still the same Night that used to frown whenever he sees me? And used to call me an idiot, telling me that he doesn’t want to make me happy? "Did you drink a drug too?" I asked and he quickly turned to me with that piercing glare causing me to gulp. "I-I mean it’s weird that you’re holding my hand without saying anything bad towards me."
Night didn’t say anything back, but he was still holding my hand. "No offense but I don’t really like holding your—"
"Boo!"
I couldn’t finish what I was saying when someone suddenly pushed me from behind and if it wasn’t for Night who was holding my hand, I would have fallen face first to the ground due to surprise. "Hey, did you two enjoy your lovely night yesterday?" It was Makoto who was smiling from ear to ear. "Or would you rather spend the night with me?" He keeps moving his eyebrows up and down while looking at me. It’s kind of disgusting.
"Stop doing unnecessary actions towards my wife." My eyes widened hearing Night call me his wife, and he even wrapped his arm around my waist. "It’s inappropriate, Makoto." He said which made Makoto raise both of his hands in compliance with what Night said.
"I’m sorry, I just assumed you enjoyed the night since you’re being lovey-dovey today again." Makoto giggled.
I’m so done dealing with this, but at least it’s not Night who’s annoying me right now. "Noelle onee-chan!" I heard Mizuki calling my name and she ran towards me, but she tripped and fell face first to the ground.
"That’s why I’m telling you not to run," Taka said who’s walking after Mizuki.
I let go of Night’s hand to help Mizuki up, but Night pulled Mizuki up before I could even touch her. "I-I’m sorry, Yoru," Mizuki said with tears threatening to fall from her eyes. That fall must have hurt her since she was about to cry. She went towards me and hugged me.
I carried her and started patting her back. "You don’t have to apologize," I said as I looked at Night. He’s staring at me with no emotions again so I don’t know if he’s mad or what. "Right? Tell her that she doesn’t need to apologize." I pulled Night’s hand and made him look at Mizuki. She’s afraid of Night so I guess this will make her feel better.
Night patted Mizuki’s head. "It’s fine." He said.
"Oh my, you two look like a young couple comforting their child."
