Scratches of Wound in Fiona's Heart
Lured

“Tomorrow you can sleep in the guest room, tonight you still have to sleep here because the guest room is never used, chances are there is a lot of dust there. Tomorrow I will ask people to clean it for you,”, said Steven who was looking at the screen of his phone. 

“Tapii..” 

Steven raised his face. “You can sleep on the bed, while I will sleep on that long sofa,” pointed Steven on the brown sofa that was right in front of the bed. 

Fiona shook her head quickly. “Tidaak. I'll sleep there anyway this is your room and I'm just a guest here. I won't let you sleep on the sofa because it will make you uncomfortable.” 

“It is precisely because you are a guest, I will not let my guest sleep on the sofa let alone you are a woman. I was taught to always appreciate women,” Steven said with a serious face. 

“Look away, we'll sleep on the bed together. I'll make a barrier in the middle. We just need to keep our distance while sleeping,” Fiona's advice gives a solution. 

“Alright,” Steven said briefly. She walks into the closet to pick up extra blankets and pillows for Fiona. 

Fiona then walked to the bed. “It looks like this is enough,” said Fiona when she was done making a divider in the middle using some pillows and bolsters. 

Steven's approaching Fiona. “You can use this.“ Steven gave her the pillow and blanket she had taken earlier. 

Fiona raised her face. “Thank you Steve,” Fiona said as she received the pillow and blanket. 

“Sleep. I still have to work on something.” Steven stood up and took the laptop in his briefcase. 

“Are you used to working late at night?” fiona asked as she saw Steven staring at the focus of his laptop screen that was already on. 

“I'm insomniac, so usually I do office work while I can't sleep,” Steven replied as he kept looking at his laptop screen. 

“Have you ever consulted a doctor? For any reason, this is not good for your health if it continues like that,” said Fiona as she climbed onto the bed. 

“Already, the doctor gave me sleeping pills, but I also can't always take the drug. I don't want dependency.” 

“Then you can lie here with me, we can chat until you can fall asleep,” Fiona suggested.

Steven turned his head for a moment at Fiona who seemed to be leaning on the bed. “You can sleep first, no need to care about me. I'm used to this.” 

“Then, I will wait for you until you start getting sleepy.” 

Steven looked at Fiona again. “You can get sick if you stay up with me.” Steven looked at Fiona who seemed to be looking at him as well. 

Fiona averted her eyes as their eyes unintentionally looked at her. “I slept too much earlier, so my eyes are not sleepy anymore I do not usually sleep with the lights on,” explained Fiona. 

“I will finish my work quickly,” said Steven busy typing while continuing to stare at the screen in front of him regardless of Fiona's gaze. 

“Steve, do you live here by yourself?” ask Fiona spontaneously. He was curious because it seemed that this mansion was rarely inhabited. 

“I rarely come here, all this time I stayed in my mother's mansion,” Steven explained without turning to Fiona. 

“No, I've said I can't go home for a while. My mom and I aren't as close as they used to be. He's changed since my father died. Since then, he has always ruled my life. I get to understand it more often. Everything I did had to be reported to him. Maybe he forgot, if I was an adult.” 

“It turns out we are not much different. I'm like you too. Not so close to my mother,” Fiona said with a smile. “Are you forced to stay here because of me?” fiona asked while holding the pillow in front of her. 

“I can't take you to my parents' mansion for fear that my mother will misunderstand you, so I brought you here." 

“That's not what I mean Steve. My point is you're so bothered to stay here because you have to keep me for a while. You should stay away from your mother because of me. Even though you have no obligation to help me with what is happening to me,” Fiona explained when she felt that Steven misunderstood her question. 

Steven stopped his work and stared intently at Fiona. “Did you always feel depressed when I helped you because we didn't know each other before?” 

“If Steve misunderstands. I feel like I can only be a burden to you if I continue to stay here.” 

“I told you, I don't mind helping you. If you don't want me to misunderstand, stop discussing this matter.” Steven glanced sharply at Fiona for a moment then turned his gaze to the laptop. 

“Sorry Steve,” said Fiona lowered her head. 

Steven turned off his laptop because he saw Fiona's face change. He put his laptop on a bedside nightstand and turned off his room lights and left the sleeping lights still on. 

“Sleep. It's already night.” 

Fiona lies down after seeing Steven laying down her back to Fiona. 

“Goodnight Steve,” Fiona said before she closed her eyes. He slept facing Steven's back. 

Steven did not respond to Fiona's remarks. He just kept quiet while thinking. After trying to close her eyes for a while, Fiona seemed to start sleeping. 

Steven tried to turn his body around slowly after feeling no more movement from Fiona. When Steven had turned around, he could immediately see the face of Fiona who had fallen asleep. Steven looked at Fiona's innocent face that looked beautiful while asleep. 

Steven continued to feel a strange feeling as he looked at Fiona's face. He then notices a glimpse of Fiona's frail body. Although he looked tough in front of him, but Steven knew that the woman in front of him had a lot of wounds in his heart. Steven felt his heart ache when he saw Fiona cry yesterday.

Satisfied looking at Fiona's face, Steven tried to close his eyes. There was a feeling of comfort while sleeping with Fiona. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep. 

Midnight Steven awoke when he found it a little hard to breathe. He opened his eyes and was shocked when he saw his face with Fiona spaced very close. Fiona is also seen hugging her body. The pillow that was originally used as a boundary looks have moved to the floor of Steven's room. 

Steven could even feel Fiona's breath. He felt his face become hot. He moved his face slightly away, suddenly his gaze focused on Fiona's thin lips that were slightly red. All sorts of thoughts popped into Steven's head.

Steven tried to pull it off, again Fiona provoked his passion. Steven rubbed his face rough and tried to keep Fiona's body away from him. She fears she can't control herself if she keeps close to Fiona. 

Damn, this woman has tormented me several times. He sleeps while hugging me without caring about me. He's really dangerous. Don't blame me if I can't hold back later. You were the one who cut me off first, Fio.

Seriate..
