Skyeward: The Fake Couple

Chapter 23

Skye's POV:

I slowly open my eyes. As usual, the sun bounces off the curtain, reflecting a pattern onto the wall.

I try to sit up but, just like last night, I find myself unable to.

"Good morning, beautiful." Greets a familiar voice.

It is Ward. Once again, I cannot move because I am wrapped in his arms. However, this time, I don't care.

I shift myself so that I am laying on my side, looking directly at Ward. 

He smiles at me.

"Good morning, Ward." I reply. 

I smile at him and try to get up. However, he pulls me back down, causing me to land directly on top of him.

I look at him. He has a huge grin on his face.

"What......???" I ask while trying to contain my laughter.

"Nothing. You're just beautiful." He says, softly.

I can feel my cheeks turn red.

That only seems to make him laugh.

He kisses me and I kiss him back. His lips are every soft and very warm.

Suddenly, Ward's phone starts ringing. I stop the kiss, and try to reach the phone which is laying on Ward's nightstand, but Ward slides his arm under me, and lifts me over to the other side of of him, so that I cannot reach the phone.

"Ward, it might be impor-" I try to say. However, Ward, once again, locks me into a long kiss.

I push him away while trying to contain my laughter.

"Ward, please answer the phone. We are on a mission and it might be important." I say, trying to sound serious.

Ward looks at me, rolls his eyes, and answers the phone.

"Hello?" Ward says.

".........."

"Sir?" Ward asks.

It must be Coulson.

".........."

"No, Sir, I haven't." He says.

"..........."

"Yes, Sir. Good bye." He says, plainly.

Ward hangs up and looks at me.

"Was it Coulson?" I ask, nervously.

"Yes." He replies, sadly. "I need to talk to you about something."

Ward shifts me so that I am sitting on his lap.

"What is is?" I ask, curiously.

Ward sighs and begins.

"So, my big brother, Christian, the one who made me torture my little brother in the well, is coming here tomorrow to meet my "wife". I know it sounds innocent enough, but I know why he really wants to meet you. He wants to steal you from me. When we were little, Christian promised me that he would take any girl I loved. He likes seeing me suffer. So, I have been dreading it because you are the first person I have ever truly loved, and I would die of a broken heart." He explains.

I have no words. I can only look at him. He begins to look worried, so I decide to say something.

"I-Is this why you have been acting so weird, lately?" I ask.

He nods.

"I just need you to promise me that you will not fall for him. He may be older, but he is very charming and extremely manipulative." Ward says.

He looks desperate.

I smile at him.

"I promise." I say, holding up my right hand.

He smiles back at me.

"Oh, and one more thing. Since he knows that my last name isn't Bushel, we are going to say that is your maiden name, and we agreed to use that name, instead of Ward. Also, the money inheritance came from your father, not mine. And lastly, I had my first nabe changed from Grant to Ward because everyone called me Ward." He explains.

I can only laugh at how much detail he put into this.

"Alright, Ward." I say with a laugh.

He laughs back, and we lock into another long kiss.
