HER INNOCENCE TAMED MY MONSTER

CHAPTER 35

AREESHA'S POV:

It was so beautiful, I was feeling so peaceful and relaxed, lying down on my mother's lap, the only place I dreaded to feel it again in my life, my eyes were closed, I could feel the warmth of her,she was slowly running her fingers in my hairs, which was giving me so soothing effect, the sound of the waterfall from our back and sweet scent of lilies and lavender in the air was just so relaxing, I just wish I could stay here forever, away from that miserable life and all relations, just to be with my parents along with Adil, it was a bit surprising that I didn't have anymore nightmare last night, I felt myself secured and safe, I had a peaceful sleep, rather than what Maaz did to me last night, wait a minute! Why I am thinking of him?

That's when I heard him, "Areesha, I am really sorry, what I did to you last night, I just hope you could forgive me for that,"

I opened my eyes instantly and saw him leaning down to me, he was so close to me that I could feel this fresh breath on my face, his wet hairs were glittering in the sunlight, enhancing his beautiful facial features and those striking gray eyes were looking into my sleepy one, I was just staring at him trying to understand what is going on when I felt something in my hairs and jerked up from the bed, my god!

That was just a dream!

I jump up from the bed pushing him away from me and stood up in front of him,

"There is something in my hairs! Please take it out!" I cried as I shake my hairs trying to find that thing,

Maaz stood up from the bed and hold me from my shoulders, "Hey! Calm down, there is nothing in your hairs, I was just stroking them," he said, rolling a strand of my hair around his finger, looking at me with a sly smile on his lips, I removed his hands from my shoulders and looked at him but and gasped, he was just wearing a towel around his waist, his muscular and drool worthy body was on display, I instantly covered my eyes with my hands and turned around, trying to hide my blush, "don't you have any shame!" I said, he chuckles and stood in front of me, lowering my hands from my face,

"You are blushing!" he said, leaning forward till his face was mere inches away from mine, I took a step back and ran towards the bathroom, but stopped in my tracks as I saw myself in the mirror wall, I squeal and covered my mouth with my hand,

"Ya Allah! Who changed my clothes?" I asked, watching myself in the mirror, I was wearing one of his shirt which was just few inches above my knees, with pink pajamas,

"I did," he answered, again coming to me, I turned around totally in disbelieve, "You can't be serious!" I said, he smiled again showing his perfect dimples, "Why you are acting like that? I am your husband, I can do anything," he said, and I just stared him with my mouth open, "Don't tell me you took advantage of..."

"Definitely not!" he said before I could finish my sentence, "I can be anything Areesha, but I don't do that, I didn't do any sort of thing with you when you fainted, I just changed your clothes and I swear my eyes were closed," he said,

"Why did you bring me here? Why didn't you leave me out there and spend your precious time with Zoya! You looked so happy with her last night after ruining mine!" I asked, remembering the events last night, he sighed and walked towards the windows,

"I am sorry!" he said after a few minutes, looking outside the window, "I don't want your apology Maaz, I want some explanation," I said,

"Just come downstairs for the breakfast," he said and walked into his closet slamming the door behind him, his mood swings are really unpredictable.

I took a deep breath and move towards the washroom and after taking a long shower I came out wearing a light pink dress, I dried my hairs and clip them up in a messy bun and left the room, but stopped watching my surroundings as I have no idea where I was and how to get to the dining room, I have never been to this wing, I waited for someone to come here, but there was no one around here, so I just picked up my cellphone and called Maaz, but he didn't receive my call, getting a bit irritated by the situation, I throw my phone on the bed and started walking down the stairs and looked round, this was the second floor, I move towards the first door at my right and as I enter, I gasped looking at the incredible interior of the room, the Victorian style furniture was there, which I always have adored.
