Fated By Stars (Fated Hearts, #1 & 2)

Chapter10

I could hardly fall asleep having her wrapped up in my arms; it felt like she was the missing piece of my life that I had finally found, and I was afraid she might disappear at any second. I want to remember every second she is in my arms, and adore her peaceful form, and live every bit of feelings that were alive in me because of her.

She has no idea she is my sole reason for living; she has given me a reason to be a better man for her. I don't want her to ever find out what kind of man I am or what I do; I feel like I am a different person when I'm around her. I want to be good for her, and I will do right by her even though there is no way out of the life I was born into. But I'll make sure to keep her away from my work. I will protect her with my life, nothing else matters.

I was walking to my study room when I heard her scream; she freaked me out when I couldn't find her, but then I saw her walking out of the movie room with Adriana, and I let her be with my sister. She had a terrified expression on her face, but it was soon followed by a neutral expression as she walked down speaking with Adriana.

Later, I found out that the mischievous Aria made her watch a horror movie. What surprised me was how much she was scared by horror movies. How can you be afraid of it when it's clearly humans dressed up in stupid makeup and costumes?

Her breathing and heartbeat took a long time to return to their normal pace. Her face is snuggled in my neck, and her hands are gripping me tightly. And I feel at home as I inhale her sweet scent, I am addicted to it.

I feel bad for scaring her; I had asked Dorian to throw rocks at her window and make some scary noise to see how she would react. However, I don't feel too bad because look what it got me; Roselyn in my arms. And the thought that she would come to me gave me a feeling of pride.

Her face was adorable when I mentioned that something might take her if she slept on the couch. Why is she so scared of those things? But today I learned something new about her. She dislikes horror films and cannot sleep unless it is dark. I did, however, turn on the dim light after ensuring she was sound asleep because I wanted to see her face. She stirred a little in the beginning but soon fell back into a deep slumber.

I want to spend my life learning everything there is to know about her and giving her everything I could. At first, I thought, I just wanted her to be mine, but I am not sure anymore, I want her to want me as well and maybe someday love me.

I tell myself that I'm not sure if I love her, but now I wonder if I do.

I grab my phone from the bedside table; it's already 6 a.m.

As much as I want to be with her I need to work.

I remove her from my hold and get out of bed as quietly as possible without making a sound. I can't help but smile as she moves her hand in search of something. I peck her head before going to the shower, after grabbing my pillow and placing it under her hand.

I wrap the towel around my waist and get out; Roselyn is still sleeping in the bed.

I was about to put on my shirt when I heard Roselyn scream, throwing the shirt I hurriedly get out of the closet. When I take in the scene in front of me, I exhale a sigh of relief.

Kai is standing on the bed, staring down at Roselyn, who looks scared to death. I should have told her about him. He comes into my room often, and why was no one looking after him?

Roselyn's eyes fall on me "What the hell Arosio, you have a freaking dog. Couldn't you have said something to me? Do you know how I felt when I felt wet feeling on my face and the moment I open my eyes there's a dog near my face?"
