9. SLEEP, NOW.

The wedding's over and, Sarah's apartment has been cleaned out from her things, and Lucy was excited about Andrew, and Eric and Sarah are a couple now. Now, the dawn showed its face, and now, they were ready to sleep after having their dinner. Eric had gone into his room, and Sarah was ready to go to hers too. She almost went to the door of the room beside his but stopped at once as he called her and asked her,

"Where are you going?"

"To my room? Why??"

"Your things are not in that room that you think it is yours. It's a guest room, and you have to sleep in 'our' room, not in that room," he said stressing out the word 'our', which made Sarah blush to her forehead.

"Our room? Aren't we gonna use separate rooms?" she asked.

"No," he stopped saying, walked forward to her and grabbed her by her arm gently and pulled her towards his room, and continued to complete what he was going to say.

"You have to sleep with me, in this room."

"W-wait, w-what!?" she asked him

"Yes, now sleep," he said as he knew that she was going to give excuses to sleep in a separate one. He carried her on his hands, lifting her up from where she was standing, placing each of his hands behind her waist and her legs. Like he did when she fainted in her room. She felt so light on his hands. Sarah yelled at his action, and he hushed her saying, "Be quiet. Sleep now," and placed her on the bed and left the room for a while so she could get some time to calm herself down.

'What did I do!? Eric, you need to be more careful with her,' he thought to himself sitting at the dining table with his head in his arms.

"What happened? Oh! Are you feeling shy now?" asked Andrew freaking him out.

"Where the hell did you come from!?" he yelled at him out of surprise.

"My ears! On no, I think they're bleeding now!" Andrew shouted, closing his ears.

"Don't overact, tell me what led you come here," asked Eric.

"For you," he said, smiling at him.

"No. thanks," Eric said turning away his face.

"Oh, and I'm afraid that you have to live with Ms. Lucy for now," Eric spoke again. Andrew's eyes had gone wide at his words.

"W-what are you talking about? No, I'm not gonna do it," Andrew went back at Eric's words.

"Then, I'm afraid that your payment will go down a little," Eric said, teasing him, smirking at him. Andrew was more than pissed now. He left the mansion stomping his feet to pack up his things for his move tomorrow, move to her home. He had no option. He had to move in with Lucy and stay with her instead of Sarah.

Eric was helping him get close to Lucy. He already knew that he had a slight interest in getting her to know a bit more. He wasn't showing any of those feelings outside, but he knew his heart. And now, Eric had to look at himself. He has to sleep too.

He slowly opened the door, being careful not to wake her up. He walked towards the bed and found her sleeping already. He smiled at her. Seeing her sleep was so amusing for him. He slowly slipped beside her, on the other side of the bed. As he closed his eyes, he found something falling on him. It was Sarah's leg on him, and her hand on his waist. He blushed at her actions. She felt warm on his cold body. It was a bad idea to sleep together. Her sleeping habits were far worse than this. She pushed him off to the narrow side, spreading herself on the whole bed. Her hair, her hands, legs, and everything was on him. He understood that he was not going to get a wink of sleep this night. It's gonna be a very long one.

Eric woke up along the sun that rose. As expected. He did not get a wink of sleep the last night.

He snuck up a glance at Sarah who was still sleeping. Her top had gone up, showing off her stomach. He slowly let it down and laughed at her. He had one of the most worse nights but still, it felt good. He blushed at the memory of her throwing her legs on him. He got off the bed and freshened up and to his surprise, he didn't find Sarah on the bed. He ran down, and found her at the table, reading the newspaper.

"Had a good sleep?" he asked her.

"Oh, yeah," she said.

She already was ready for work and got her car keys from her bag.

"Oh, I made breakfast for you too. You must get to work too," she said.

"Oh, thanks," he said. And she was gone.

He slowly went to the kitchen to get his food and he heard a click on the door again.

"Lower your voice. Don't shout, I'm not in a very good mood," he said gritting his teeth and looking back only to find Sarah behind him.

"Didn't you go out just now? Forgot something?" he asked her nervously, thinking if she saw his face which was angry.

Even if he was angry, he was handsome. Especially to Sarah. She understood him. She didn't spend time with him properly.

"Y-yeah, I forgot my car keys," she said at his sudden question.

It's true that she came back because she forgot her car keys but also forgot to give him a gift. She slowly walked towards him, making him even more nervous. She slowly grabbed him by his left sleeve and pulled him. And he bent down in response. She pulled her face close to his kissing his left cheek. His eyes widened in shock and she closed her eyes out of nervousness. They both blushed at her actions.

They heard a loud thud on the floor, and went back to their original positions, just to find themselves caught up in a dilemma. There were Lucy and Andrew before them, who were stunned at what they were doing. They both cleared their throats and Sarah made the move

"I-I'll go now, I'm late for work," she said.

"Y-yes," he said to her.

And Sarah pulled Lucy outside with her, towards the car.

And Eric cleared his throat and asked Andrew,

"What are you two doing here?"

"What?"

"What are you two doing here??" he again asked him loud and clear enough, making Andrew come to his right senses.

"She was at the car waiting for Sarah to go together for work, and I helped her come inside, and then, we both were shocked to see you two, and Lucy dropped her bag and then," said Andrew giving a long response saying it every fast rambling and explaining what had happened.

"S- stop! Enough now. Come, let's get to work," he said blushing and stuttering at his words, walking towards his study with his food.

Now, all left is Lucy asking Sarah about what was happening. But, Lucy was not going to ask this now. Sarah still had time running about. Lucy is still in her own dreamland, smiling at the flashing memory of Sarah kissing Eric. Her favorite kind of romance was right before her eyes.

Sarah and Eric's romance.
