Chapter 53 EZEKIEL
EZEKIEL
“What are you doing here? Is there a problem?” She asks so innocently. Why does it look like I'm just finding out how cute she is? I mean she always looks cute but this time it seems different.
“Ezekiel….” Her voice snaps me out of my thoughts.
“Uhm….I…. I just…” fuck! I can't believe there will be a day when I can't form a sentence. “Well, I just couldn't sleep. I'm just here to see your face. Sorry that I woke you up.”
That's it…. I said it and I looked like a fool.
Dalia chuckles a bit. “Were you missing me?”
“Maybe.” No need of beating around the bush. I don't think it's a bad thing to let her know how much I want her. “I think I'm going crazy for you.”
“You are?” She smiles shyly.
“Can I sleep with you?” her face flushes at my words. Wait… how the fuck did she interpret my sentence? I hope she's not thinking of something else. “I mean to sleep with you in my arms.”
The natural blush on her face deepened and she looked so beautiful. I can't believe she misunderstood my words. Well, if she wants that kind of sleeping I'm in for it.
“I don't mind,” she says. I smile as I climb the bed. I pull her close to me and inhale her sweet scent. I can't believe that I will fall asleep with Dalia in my arms. This is a dream come true. And this is what I want for the rest of my life.
“Now that I'm in your arms, are you going to sleep well?”
“Absolutely. I think you will be my sleeping pills, little monster.” I tease and she chuckles. I hold her tight, pressing her to my chest as if I let her go, she will disappear. Well, this might be a dream but I want it to last forever.
“Why don't you sleep in the same bed with me every night,” she says shyly.
I was taken aback by her words. I move her face to look at me. She's smiling shyly. “Are you fucking serious.”
She nods, still smiling shyly. She's just so cute. I couldn't hold back myself as I claimed her lips. She opens up for me and kisses me back. I kiss her deeply, savoring all her sweetness. She's the most delicious thing I've ever tasted. I feel like kissing her forever.
She's kissing me at the same space I kissed her and I love it. It means she wants this. I would like to take it further but I'm not sure if she's ready. After disrespecting her many times by trying to take her by force, I will have to wait until she's ready. I will never do anything she doesn't want.
After kissing for a long time, we disengage from the kiss. She looks at me with her flushed face. I trace my fingers through her cheeks and her lips. She's just so beautiful and even looks more beautiful with her swollen lips. Her in this state will always be mine to see. And I can't be more glad.
“Let's go to sleep,” I say as I pull her to my chest. I kiss her forehead and close my eyes. Her scent, her breathing and her closeness made me fall asleep.
……
The next morning. I wake up with a smile on my face. I've never slept so well before. Dalia is indeed my sleeping pill. I don't think I will ever sleep again from now on without her by my side. I stare at her beautiful face. She looks so peaceful. I kiss her forehead and gently detach myself from her. I would like to be in bed with her all day but I have something to do. I have a council meeting to attend and some paperwork to do. Also, the psychiatrist doctor is coming today. I just hope he will be able to get Sarah and her daughter, Samara back to normal.
But I wonder how long it will take. Are we going to be patient enough until that time? Well, it's not like we have any other choice. We don't have any other leads except Sarah.
Elder Owen is still digging into history to know if there has been a time a prophecy about this war was written. If there's a prophecy about it that was written down, we will definitely find something that will help us stop the war (That is finding a way to lock the gate of hell). Maybe we will find out the medium we need in locking the gate of hell.
There was a prophecy written about the first war which Selene hid from us. I found it, that was how I found out the medium to be used and that a witch's help was needed. I didn't know it would only lock the gate of hell temporarily. To lock it permanently, I wonder what will be sacrificed. Will it involve lives? For us to know anything, we will have to find the book with the prophecy.
Is Selene hiding the prophecy like she did in the past? I don't think so. She's the one that sent her daughter here. Even if she has a motive for sending her here. I'm sure that one of them is that she wants the war not to take place. And if the book with the prophecy will help Dalia, there's no need for her to hide it.
That means someone else is hiding the prophecy book because there's no way a prophecy was not written for this. This is what we should be looking for until Sarah is revived to her normal state of health.
I mind-linked Owen and told him about it. I know that he's looking for any book that has the prophecy but I want him to double his search. Before I wasn't sure if there's a prophecy but now I'm so sure and we must find the book that has it. And if anyone is hiding it, we will find whoever the fuck the person is.
……
After leaving Dalia's room, I went for the council meeting. There wasn't much discussion. After that I did some paperwork in my office before Lena told me that the psychiatrist doctor had arrived. I mind-linked Nikolai and others. I believe Dalia is in the hospital, so Lena must have told her that the psychiatrist doctor has arrived. I haven't seen her for like six hours now and I'm already missing her. I won't mind being by her side all day. But I don't want to make her uncomfortable. She will definitely need her space.
When I arrive at Sarah's room, others are there except Dalia.
“Where's Dalia?” I ask Lena.
“I don't know. She didn't come to the hospital today,” she replies.
“What! Where else will she be if not the hospital,” as I'm saying the words, I'm leaving the room. My heart is already beating rapidly. When it comes to Dalia I'm always paranoid. Maybe nothing has happened to her but I haven't seen her for the past six hours and she's not where she's supposed to be, so I'm worried. I pick my phone and call her. Since she can't mindlink. We exchanged phone numbers for easy communication. I call her but she isn't picking up. And that increased my fear.
