316-Caught Kissing The Dead Brothe..
Beatrice Dismay:
I have been in the living room ever since I sewed Helel's chest. I couldn't stand there and wait for him
to show signs of waking up.
He had been gone for months, and now my anxiety had reached the point that if he didn't open his
eyes in another minute, I would start yelling and throwing a fit.
’Please wake up,' I closed my eyes and sobbed in the living room all by myself. Jessie never returned,
and it’s been three hours now.
Helel didn't wake up, and neither has Akin returned. I was the only one sitting here and getting anxious,
and maybe that’s why-because I didn’t have anything else to do at the moment.
’Are you happy now?' Ace asked.
’I will be happy once he wakes up because—Ace! You are the one who told me this would work, and if
it didn't, I will assume you lied to me,’ I grunted at her without even taking a break. I was so worried that
I didn't want to be consoled by anyone.
’Don't worry. Have some faith in your dragon once,' she said, starting with the same tone of accusation
that I don't trust her.
’I will once y—I paused as I heard a faint voice come from his room. My body shuddered, and instead
of getting up, I closed my eyes and hugged myself.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt seemed like somebody had woken up from a very long slumber. After calling my agitated nerves
down, I opened my eyes, got up on my feet, and rushed into the room to meet the biggest surprise of
my life.
’Helel!" I said his name, and my open body got covered in goosebumps. He had walked out of the
coffin but knelt down when his body couldn't support him. He looked tired and exhausted, as if he
hadn't slept for years. I was in tears when watching him in front of me. I swear, I thought I had lost him
for a very long time until Markus' drawings. He wasn't lying when he said I would bring someone back
to life. He just changed his statement to cause me pain.
’Hey!" I rushed towards him to give him support, but he pulled away from me.
’Sho—-wer!" he whispered, looking extremely cute.
'Oh!" I nodded and ran into the bathroom to run a warm shower for him. He ambled into the bathroom,
holding the wall for support.
‘Let me help you," I held my hand out for him, and he just stared at it for a minute. He seemed to be still
half asleep.
He accepted my hand, and when our skins touched, I noticed that he trembled. Now that I had sat him
down in the bathtub, I watched him close his eyes and take heavy breaths.
He was trying to get used to his body, I believe. I could imagine his body being numb, so I was being
patient with him.
’You are waiting for him to say your name, aren't you?’ Ace teased.
’Would it be too much?' I asked, scoffing at her.
'No! after you gave him your golden scale, you deserve a lot from him,' she responded with the same
swag.
'Do you want anything else?" I asked him, impatiently watching his face like a child who wants to open
his Christmas present.
I wanted him to just be normal, to be like my Helel again.
He gently shook his head but didn't open his eyes, so I assumed he wanted to be left alone for now.
'He is probably grumpy. Imagine waking up early in the morning and having to deal with a crazy person
who wants you to say her name. Anyone would be grumpy. And he woke up after a month's long
slumber. Give him some time,' Ace's way to comfort me was unique.
'I will leave you alone for some time, okay?" I asked, and when he didn't move a muscle, I just walked
out of the bathroom and went into the living room again.
’Shit! I can’t believe he is back,' I was now pacing back and forth. The excitement of telling everyone
that Helel is back was so much that I was going insane.
■Yes! The man from hell is back,’ Ace scoffed at me. She was back to claiming some nonsense, 'Think
about it. He had been gone and had dealt with, well, God knows what. Were you seriously expecting
him to be the same Helel as before? You thought he would wake up and call your name, fill you in his
arms, and kiss your lips? That is not the Helel you used to know. You brought him back from hell—,' the
confidence in her tone when even saying that he was in hell was just too much.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'Let me have my moment,' I grunted at her to silence her.
’He is not himself right now because he has been gone for too long. It will indeed take him some time to
be back to his old self. I cannot expect him to say my name—," I was interrupted when a heavily
accented voice proved me wrong.
’Beatrice!''
I turned to look at him and almost lost my balance. He was all wet and only wearing gray pants. His
handsomeness knew no limits. The way his eyes narrowed on my face from afar, I felt goosebumps all
over my skin.
’Helel!" I whispered, not delaying a single minute, and ran into his arms.
"Ouch!” he complained the instant our bodies came into contact. I had to break the hug to look him in
the eye.
’You are back!" I cried softly while he cupped my face in his hands, trying to capture as much of my
sight as he could in his eyes.
'You brought me back," he whispered with difficulty, but he came out just to see me. That meant a lot to
me.
‘I love you, Beatrice!'
I gasped when those words were one of the very few things he spoke. His confession was completely
out of the blue, but who was complaining?
Not me!
With that, he crashed his lips onto mine, and I swear I felt alive more than ever.
’Beatri—
While Helel and I kissed, I heard Akin enter the room and let out a gasp.
