Strange Eric

Victoria's POV 

I opened my eyes and met eyes with green eyes, man.

I could clearly see the fear and shock in his eyes, but he quickly wipes it off.

I moved my gaze away from him and sat on the bed as I stared around, searching for nurse Agnes, but she was nowhere in the room.

I stood up from the bed, walked into the bathroom, eased myself and stood in front of the mirror.

I knew I had a dream, but I just could remember what I dreamt of.

It felt like the dream was some part of my lost memory, but I can't just remember what I dreamt about.

I washed my face in the sink, brushed my hair and went back to the room.

I met eyes with Eric but quickly looked away, the anger I had few hours were all gone, but I knew I was still angry with him, but I don't know the reason for it.

I sat on the bed while he sat on the chair beside me, and none of us said a word to each other before he spoke up.

''I shouldn't have reacted the way I did, I was just jealous and protective.'' he spoke with so much sincerity.

I heard him, but I couldn't say a word to him,

I knew I overreacted, I shouldn't have asked him to leave like that, but I couldn't say it.

We sat there in an awkward silence until he spoke up again.

''I'm sorry.''he whispered to himself

I stared at him and noticed he wasn't used to apologizing to people, so this was new to him.

''I promise it will never happen again.'' he said those words sincerely and stood up from the chair, walked up to me and gave me a tight hug with my head on his chest.

I exclaimed in relief by the warmth coming from his body.

I felt so comfortable by his warmth that I wish we stayed this way for a long time, which he did.

He ran his fingers through my hair for a while before he cupped my face with his two hands and placed a soft, tender kiss on my lips.

''I love you.'' he muttered those words in-between the kiss.

I felt my heartbeat increased the moment I heard those words from him, and I did not know what to say to him.

He broke the kiss and placed kisses on my cheek, face, and forehead before moving away.

I stared at him and noticed the color of his eyes were getting darker, but he quickly moved his eyes away from me and made an animal like sound that was really strange.

''Are you okay.'' I asked while staring at him curiously

He nodded his head with his eyes away from me.

''I need to use the restroom.'' he did not let those words leave his mouth before he rushed into the bathroom and closed the door.

I stared at the bathroom door and wondered what was actually wrong with him and how on earth could he make such a sound.
