INTO THE DEPTHS OF LOVE : CHAPTER 11 – 20

By Succie Brown.

“Spent the night in my room” His baritone tone interrupted her from talking.

“Huh” Kristin uttered in a low tone.

Did Mr. Grouchy just ask her to spend the night in his room? But why? Kristin asked her inner self as she stared at Richard with those innocent eyes of hers.

Richard didn’t know what to say next. How the words came out from his mouth was still a mystery.

Last night, he slept soundly in the arms of Kristin, without any atom of his nightmare distracting him from sleeping.

He has been thinking about it the entire day, and that’s why when he opened his mouth, the words “Spend the night in my room” puked out of his mouth before he could realize it.

“You want me to spend the night in your room?” Kristin asked.

Richard knew he can’t take back his words, because Kristin already heard him loud and clear, lying will make him sound stupid.

He didn’t know if he can trust her with his secret, she already knows about his phobia of jangling sound. Won’t telling her about his insomnia, make her know too much about him?

But those eyes.

Her eyes speak a lot about her. It was a made home of innocent, which isn’t capable of stabbing him in the back.

“Are you having a hard time sleeping?” Kristin asked, breaking the silence that was erupting between them.

Richard knitted his eyebrows wondering how she knew his difficulties in sleeping at night.

“When I came to your room last night, I noticed you were finding it difficult to sleep. Spending the night in your room isn’t a big deal, we won’t be crossing the border. Besides, you said no strings attached, right?” Kristin smiled.

Richard’s gray eyes fixed on her smile. He wondered how she gets to smile every second. He has long forgotten how to smile.

In fact, he never got the chance to smile, thanks to the malicious woman who locked him up in a dark room, heartlessly.

“Go freshen up, I will join you shortly” She smiled again.

Richard wanted to change his mind about her sleeping in his room, but then again, he wanted to confirm if truly Kristin was his sleeping pill.

He doesn’t take sleeping pills because he wasn’t a fan of medicines.

Richard took his shower, he was signing on some paperwork, when Kristin knocked on the door.

He tells her to come in and Kristin steps inside the room, wearing a long sleeve gown.

Richard furrowed his eyebrows.

“Are you going for a crusade? What’s with the dress?”

Kristin smiled nervously “Well… just in case…”

“In case of what? You think I’d want to sleep with you? Is that why you covered your entire body like someone who just gave her life to Christ?

My words still stand, Peanut. I hate women and you’re not exceptional, which means I won’t be attracted to your body?” Richard said.

Kristin clipped her feet together, her hands behind her. She must have been stupid to think that he’d be swayed by her body.

She just watched Richard as he focused on the paperwork in his hand.

Since Richard was so unpredictable, Kristin didn’t know how to start a conversation with him. Somehow, she just wants to see this calm side of Richard every day, even though his face was hardened like a rock.

In order not to say something that would hatch out his anger, Kristin sat down quietly on the white couch in his room, watching him focus on work.

For a moment, she’d admit that Richard was handsome. He has a small face, but the perfect jawline she has ever seen.

If he wasn’t always wearing a cold and emotionless face, Kristin would’ve beat her chest and confidently say, Richard is the cutest man in the world, but since he never wears a smile, she’d crown him as the world’s most handsome man.

She continued examining Richard’s face quietly from the couch she was sitting on, not until she fell asleep.
