Chapter 339 Bigger Things...
When Nixxxie woke up she saw, Jiang Yang was not there. Stepping out of the bed, she opened the door of the room to look for him in his cabin.
She saw, Jiang Yang was sitting in his chair with his eyes closed. she stepped forward with light footsteps, not making any sound. Standing a few steps away from him, she was thinking how to call him and just then, Jiang Yang spoke after taking a deep breath without opening his eyes, "Had a nice sleep, princess?"
Nixxxie was startled to hear it as she thought he was sleeping and with his eyes closed how he could see, she was there. "I thought you were sleeping."
"Umm, not exactly," he said.
Standing to the one side of his table while looking at his sleepy eyes, she said, "I am sorry to trouble you last night."
"Trouble? Huh! Was there any?" He asked looking at her apologetic face.
As he didn't get her, she tried to explain. "You couldn't sleep comfortably because of me as there was not enough space on the bed and ….." she stopped.
"And you were sleeping while hugging me. Is that what you were about to say?" Jiang Yang finished her incomplete line.
She nodded as feeling shy about it and she couldn't understand how she got that courage to behave like that with his as if they were not strangers anymore.
Jiang Yang smiled to see her shy and said, "If that is what you call trouble then I would like to trouble myself all the time."
She looked at him not knowing what to say. Her heart was beating faster as not being able to realize what exactly was happening to her. The way he teased her, those words were bold but she liked it and she could feel that slowly she was getting attracted towards him.
When she slept while hugging him, it was after a long time she was sleeping so soundly and without worrying about anything as if he had taken away the entire burden from her mind and her heart. His embrace was like the safest and peaceful place for her and she wanted to be there always but at the same time, she wanted to deny it too.
Seeing her staring at him like she was in a daze, he got up from the chair and strode towards her. she was still looking at him, until he reached to stand facing her, her pretty eyes staring into his calm ones.
Jiang Yang kissed her on the forehead and asked, "Is it enough?"
"Huh?" she looked at him questioningly.
Seeing her not answering his question, Jiang Yang pecked on her lips leaving her with her eyes wide open in a shock and asked again, "Is it enough or….."
Before he could speak or do anything further, Nixxxie stepped back realizing what was going on and said, "I will go. I need to see mother."
"I just came back after visiting her, she is fine," Jiang Yang said to assure her.
"She woke up?" she asked.
"No! but in the next hour, she will be awake for sure."
"Glad to know it." She was relieved to know her mother was fine.
"Now you know about her so you can go back to the room and freshen up. I have an extra set of toothbrushes there on a shelf. You can use it," Jiang Yang said, not willing to let go of her back so soon.
She looked at him being hesitant to do what he asked, so Jiang Yang said again, "Don't hesitate for such small things when we have done bigger things."
"Bigger things?" She asked having puzzled expressions.
"Sleeping in a small bed while cuddling each other whole night and sharing a kiss twice." He replied.
Nixxxie was so embarrassed to hear it that she didn't say a single word and turned around to go back to the room quietly before he could remind her something more embarrassing.
Seeing her like this Jiang Yang smiled and went back to his chair and made a call.
Nixxxie found an extra pack of toothbrushes and used it. Once she was done freshening up, she was thinking how to go out and what to say to him but just then, there was a knock on the door. That was Jiang Yang who came to the room with breakfast for both of them in his hands which he ordered from outside.
Nixxxie was standing near the window while staring outside. Jiang Yang put the breakfast on the table and said, "Let's have breakfast and later we can go to see your mother."
Nixxxie didn't respond so he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Giving out a deep sigh, she said, "My mother is there struggling with her health and I am here with you instead of being with her."
Jiang Yang nodded and said, "Hmm! You are right. you should have been with her."
Hearing it, Nixxxie looked at him with a questioning gaze, thinking that he was the one to stop her when she wanted to go back to her mother.
"I mean to say, you should have been with her staring at her whole night with your teary eyes. Then, thinking about all the bad things going around and regretting for not looking after her properly and she had to be in the hospital again just because of your ignorance towards her. In short, you should have blamed yourself the whole night for no valid reason while crying then fall sick, the next morning."
Nixxxie was not surprised to hear it as this is what she would have done exactly. The previous night, she was already thinking about it and started to cry. If it was not for Jiang Yang, she would have been crying the whole night.
Seeing her calm, he said again," Well, I don't mind if you fall sick because it is better that way." Saying it he sat in one of the chairs and signaled her to sit in another chair to have breakfast.
Not getting what he was trying to say, she asked while sitting in the chair in front of him, "What do you mean?"
