Chapter thirty-four: "Redder Than This"

Not only was Cloud worried but he was not very happy that I fainted that he was starting to scold me
I'll take a scolding anyway as long as he is still here with me

He has a stern face with his arms crossed showing his muscular bicep through his long-sleeved sweater when he does it
It was hard not looking away when I saw it

"Angel are you even listening?" he asked me then snapped his fingers in front of my face, the snapping of fingers broke me in my train of thoughts then made me jump back

I glanced at Cloud before my eyes went down to my hands that were resting on my lap "I'm sorry"

When I looked down my hair that was down made its way to covering half of my face, I was wearing socks and I played with my toes together trying I ease the stress that I accumulated since I got Cloud angry and I never see him this angry before
Sure he gets angry but not to the point that he puts on a stern face and started scolding me

When he is usually angry it would only take him a few minutes until he calms down but it was already an hour since he started talking to me right after I woke up

Cloud was holding himself real hard to not try and scare me with his anger so he stood up and left me alone in the bedroom but before he left he said "Get some rest" before closing the door on his way out

I tried to squeeze my eyes shut and cover my entire body with the duvet

Trust me, I did try to rest but his stern worried face kept me awake and I couldn't erase the image in my mind like it was haunting me unless I do something about it, my eyes shot open
I better do something about this

There was no noise outside the door so I sat up and quietly walked up to the door, I opened the door slightly to peek outside and there was no one
He must be in the living room

I tiptoed around the penthouse like I was a burglar trying to steal something, when I finally reached the living room I found Cloud on the kitchen island drinking one beer bottle down

"Cloud?" I startled him when I called out his name
He does drink but it was only limited to one bottle unlike in the past him when he drank even 5 bottles in one go

He has a guilty look on his face when I caught him drinking, he looked at the beer bottle in his hands then glanced up to face me "I just wanted to drink right now" he explained himself

I walked up to him and grabbed the beer bottle in his hands then I drank the rest of the beer in front of him with his eyes wide "Angel wai-" "I just wanted to drink too"

Everything that happened today just made me want to drink as Cloud did, I'm not gonna lie that drinking did make me almost forget the problem

I set down the beer bottle on the kitchen island counter beside Cloud and rested my head on his shoulder "I could go for another one"

He chuckled "I never knew you drink"

"I drank my first beer when I was 16 at a football house party, Jane and Will dragged me to the party"
Cloud wasn't there when I drank my first beer because I think he went somewhere for a photoshoot at the time

My hand slowly went to hold his and we intertwine our fingers together "About what happened today"

He looks down at me ready to listen to what I am about to say

The air in the room was no longer cold and he didn't have that stern face anymore, I leaned in and kissed him. His hand went up to the nape of my neck to pull me closer during our kiss, when we were done I pulled away with our noses still touching "Yesterday, I couldn't take my mind off what would have happened to you if I weren't there"

"Let me guess, you are worried I might attempt to kill myself are you?"

The sudden realization that Cloud knew made my eyes go wide in shock when facing him "You knew?!" my hand was resting on his chest while our eyes never left to gaze at each other

A warm smile was painted on his face as his hand reached out for my hand where the ring was located then kissed the back of my hand "You can't hide anything from me since you are really bad at keeping your secrets to yourself"

One side of my lips quirked upwards "Are you sure it's because I'm bad at keeping my secrets or is it just another one of your skills that you are boasting about right now?"

"Would you believe me if I said that the second one is true?"

I groaned and threw my head back as he laughs at me
Now he is just rubbing it all over my face

After laughing he puts on a serious face right after "But in seriousness what you did this morning made me angry"

"How much?" I asked him and began using both of my hands to measure how much he was angry at me, I stood up and spread my arms wide "Was it this much?"

Cloud shook his head and made a small gap with both of his hands "This much"

I copied what he did then he took the opportunity to grab both of my wrists and push me back to the front of the refrigerator with both of my hands pinned above my head, with one hand he used to pin both of my wrists on top of each other on my head while the other hand were on my waist

What he did so suddenly caught me off guard that when my back hits the refrigerator door I shivered from how cold to the touch it was, especially if my back was touching it since I was wearing a spaghetti-strapped tank top and loose pajama pants

"What are you doing?"

"I'm pinning you to the fridge" he answered me like what I asked was a dumb question with an obvious answer

I rolled my eyes at him "No shit Sherlock I could see it with my own eyes, so what's up with pinning both of my hands on top of my head?"

Cloud looks around the living room with his forest green eyes scanning Liam's door and mumbles "He must be so tired he might wake up tomorrow" both corners of his lips went up when he said it

He has a devilish grin on while gazing down at me with a mischievous look in his eyes
He's not gonna do that here, would he?

Just the thought of it accidentally made my heart skip and made ny face go red from all the blood rushing to my cheeks
The marks are almost gone and I'm sure by 2 or 3 days they would be completely gone

"Relax, I'm not sure if almost getting caught while doing the act is even your kink" he winked at me

I hit my knee in his lower region which made him bend down from the pain "Please don't say such stuff out loud"
I'm pretty sure that I was already red with my mind dirty and all

He inhaled a sharp breath "Angel you can hit me anywhere but not this region, what if I go infertile and we can't make babies!?" Cloud groaned in pain

I smacked him at the backside of his head "Sshh not so loud"
I can't go any redder than this

"Sorry" I assisted him to sit down on a chair
I did not hit him there too hard, did I?

"I swear to God I'm so gonna tell our future kids that they would cease to exist when they hear what their mother did to me"
Is this supposed to be a threat? If so what kind of threat is this and why am I not threatened?

"Stop being dramatic I'm sure you're still fertile, here let me check"

He stood up and walked back "Hold on, you're getting too bold here" he puts a hand up to stop me

"I just want to check what's wrong with that?" I took a step forward then he took 2 steps back, when I analyze what he was doing a smirk formed on my lips

I snorted and put both hands on my knees to support myself from laughing too much "Cloud, are you embarrassed? Dude, we just made love right after my cousin's wedding so there is nothing embarrassing about that...well except the part that some people know we did it" I muttered the last part under my breath before I dashed my way to reach him

He managed to avoid me with his great agility during my chase after him around the kitchen and the living room
