93) The Better Man

Edward

"Do you want to take a bath baby?" Vasili cooed as he brushed my fallen hair away from my face. 

"A shower would be fine," I mumbled as I hid my face in the pillow. I had no idea for how long I had been laying in bed for, but I was confident it had been just a few hours since it was still bright outside. 

"Do you want me to run it for you?" He rubbed my back. 

"No. I can do it myself," I stood up and walked into the bathroom. He did not follow me and I was grateful. It was best to distance myself when I was like this. I did not want to lash out at him like I had in Monaco. 

I slowly undressed and hopped into the shower once it had steamed up. I did not take too long but I nearly felt like dragging it out just to avoid him. This empty feeling was suddenly eating me up inside and I knew it was due to my anxiety. I was stressing too much these days and it was no good for my health.
