《Innocently Falling》Chapter 26: Warmth
Advertisement
Am I floating? It feels like it.
I can feel softness everywhere.
I don't know why my pillow is so firm and warm but very comfortable.
I hug it because I want its warmness to transfer to me.
This is the kind of warmth that you are looking for in a cold weather.
It is like the hot chocolate you crave in winter. What a weird analogy Ella.
Weirdly my pillow hugged me back.
Huh?
I tighten my grip and it return the favor by hugging me back tightly also.
As far as I know an inanimate object can not move at all unless you put force in it.
Ah.. it move because I hug it so I applied force right? My teacher in science will be so proud of me.
I burrow my face further into my pillow to catch more sleep.
You know what's crazy? This pillow smells like Gideon.
Did he hug my pillow when he went to my flat last time? He sure did because I can really smell his scent. I think he rolled on my bed because I can smell him everywhere. Can you imagine it?I knew it he is a weirdo.
I started to travel back to dreamland when I feel like someone is touching my hair.
Am I dreaming already?
Oh well. This dream is very realistic.
This person in my dream repeatedly runs its fingers through my hair.
I am letting myself fall back to sleep
When I realize something was amiss.
I am still conscious.
I can hear my thoughts.
I am aware of my surroundings.
I wiggle my toes to confirm that I am really awake. There is no way I will wiggle my toes in my dreams. Why would I? And In what situation would I do that.
Then I heard it.
Lubdub. Lubdub. Lubdub.
My pillow does not produce any sound at all.
I touch where the heck that sound is coming from.
This surface is very smooth and as far as I can remember my pillow is slightly rough.
I located the sound in the middle of whatever I am touching.
Now it started vibrating. Earthquake?
No. It is impossible. If it is an Earthquake my bed should be shaking right?
Now I am moving off topic.
This definitely not an earthquake.
I will try to remember what happened.
I went to the airport to surprise Gideon.
After that we went to that store that is very expensive and to my dismay he spent a small fortune. We went to his palace then I got allergy according to Dr. Smurf. He is the one who operated me so I don't know how Gideon contacted him. I remember I watch Tangled. The last thing I remember he is hugging me when I slept.
Ok.
So I am sleeping on TOP of Gideon. I can feel that I drooled also while I was sleeping.
Wow.
I don't think that we are on the stage wherein I can drool on him and it is acceptable. That is included on the married stage not on the dating stage.
Take a deep deep breath Ella.
Don't panic.
No biggie that there is a large chance that you might get sued by your boss by
Sexual harassment because I am touching his body presumably without his consent but he is touching me also so he has no grounds for a lawsuit. It is a consensual touching. Is that even a thing?
That's right Ella continue to touch that "vibrating surface" and let's see where will it lead you. If I may suggest A little bit more downwards and everybody will be happy."

They always say follow your conscience right? But in this case it is not a good decision at all.
So I therefore conclude Gideon is the one who is the one touching my hair. The very hair that I did not wash regularly due to laziness.
Good lord.
My oily hair.
My dry scalp.
My unlimited dandruff.
It will all be expose!
Keep calm Ella.
Everything will be alright.
Just keep a calm mind.
"Yeah rightt."
Shut up! You are not helping at all.
I will confront this situation like an adult. Here we go.
I counted up to 3 in my head and sat up immediately surprising Gideon. I ignore the sudden dizziness and run to the nearest room hoping that it is the bathroom and close the door.
There problem solve. Confrontation evaded. For now.
My heart is beating fast due to adrenaline and exhaustion.
The last time I run this fast is when I experience a very bad diarrhea. Yeah not a good example. Forget that I mention that please. Thank you.
I notice that I am in fact inside a bathroom that is the same size as my whole apartment.
All are in black.
There is a red chandelier on top of the big grass tub.
Wow. Gideon likes everything in black.
This bathroom was so elegant that it is a crime to even use it.
I am afraid to touch anything my fingerprint might left some smudge on the tiles.
And for a bathroom it smells so nice. It is like you are inside of a perfume store not a bathroom.
I roam the whole area and admire all the things that this room could offer. There is a shelf full of towels in all sizes. A closet with multiple robes and a bathroom slippers.
All are in black of course.
Why does he need so much towel? One towel is enough for 2 weeks right?
No? Only me do that? Okay.
Next scene!
I am startled when I heard someone cleared their throat.
I did not notice that Gideon was sitting on the counter top behind me. He is swaying his feet back and fort like a child and just observing what am I doing.
I look at the door attempting to go out of the bathroom when he said
" Don't even attempt love. You know I'll catch you. Can you please come here."
I debated if I will just ignore his warning but when I look at him he looks like he will trully enjoy chasing me. So being a boring person all my life I went closer to him.
He open his arms and legs automatically and hugged the living the smurf out of me.
He kisses my forehead and say
"Why did you run love?"
" I just panic I guess."
"I got worried I thought something happened to you because you suddenly run."
Is it normal to be this affectionate to someone who you just know for less than 4 months and dating for less than 1 week?
Are we moving too fast?
I am a novice in relationships so I don't know what is the norms.
I don't even think that we have the normal relationship. We are quite unconventional.
"Do you want to take a bath?"
"I did not bring anything."
"Come on."
He went down from the counter and grab my hand. He leads me out of the bathroom and stop infront of another door. He opened it and there is a long hallway.

God. How big is his room?
"The whole right wing is mine love."
Did I ask it outloud?
"Yes."
Owkie dowkie then.
We reach the end of the hallway and stop infront of a glass door.
He faces me and say:
"Okay love don't be creeped out okay?"
I just nodded because I don't have any idea what he is saying.
He scan his thumb on the small machine beside the door and the door opened automatically.
And what I saw inside the room is unbelievable.
Both sides have dark purple closets and drawers with a golden knobs attach to it
In the middle there is a huge counter. I approach it and it is a granite counter with glass in the middle which is brightly lit up by led lights and the inside contains jewelries. Different sets of precious stones that is set on every pieces of jewelry.
There are still empty slots inside this massive counter maybe for future use.
On the far far end of the room literally. There is a vanity table. You know those table with mirror surrounded by lights. It is in pink and purple matching the theme of the whole room.
There are various hair and skin products on top of the vanity.
Being a snoop dog I am. I open one closet and there are folded shirts inside. Not more than 10pcs.
Because I was so mesmerized by this room I did not notice that Gideon was just leaning on the counter with a soft smile on his face.
I excitedly went in front if him and said.
"Wow. This room was so elegant. It's fit for a princess."
He shakes his head and hold my hand and said
"No love. This room is fit for a queen. Not a princess."
"Who's room is it?" I ask in wonder because whoever owns this room was so lucky material wise.
"Yours. You can use all theses things because it is yours. Do you like it?"
I look at him wide eyed.
"Are you joking?"
He shakes his head.
"Are you high?"
"No."
"As far as I can remember this is not a normal behavior for a guy Gideon. Who the heck give this extravagant stuff to the girl he is dating for less than a week?"
"Me. And Love your IT for me."
"Eat? Are you hungry?"
He chuckled " Not eat pertaining to food I mean IT like you are my forever if everthing goes to plan."
I cup his cheeks and say "You need to get checked. Preferably a psychiatrist."
He laugh so hard. He thought I am joking.
"Do you Like it? " he ask again so just to mess with him I told him.
"No"
"Oh." I saw his expression became sad.
He stands up properly and roam his eyes all over the room.
"You don't like the color? We can change it."
He went on the closet on the left side and opened it.
I peek when he opened it and inside are dresses maybe 4 to 5 only.
"Maybe because the closet is not full of clothes? I am sorry love. I did not buy many clothes because I want you to choose Ella the clothes that you will leave here in my house."
You know what I realize in this situation? Gideon will rant if he is nervous or frustrated. He looks like a promodizer in the mall now.
In the background I can hear him ranting about installing a much bigger chandelier because according to him I love those.
I snort. I don't love it per se. I am just curious on how much I can sell it if it is diamond that's why I ask but he doesn't need to know that.
He keeps on talking and I can hear him opening some drawers.
I took a pity on him because he is still talking and he is talking about assigning a peraonal shopper if I "desire". That word again. Please insert eye roll.
I walk to where he is and back hug him.
Okay let me remind you I am new in relationships. Is this okay? It is not sexual harassment right? Okay good. Back to the scene.
Harass him more. I just rolled my eyes. I am getting dizzy already.
I wrap my arms around his torso and place my head to his back.
"I am joking." I know he heard me when he let out an exasperated breath.
He turns so now my head is in his chest.
He runs his fingers through my oily hair and said.
"Why did you said No then?"
"To mess with you of course." I grin.
"Why would you think I will not like this room? For godsake I saw a tiara inside the center counter! I will be a princess at last and be like Anna."
I buried my face to his chest and said.
"You know if a person has practically nothing in her possesion simple things will make her happy. Yes I am talking about myself."
" Anna who?" He asked.
"Anna from frozen you know?"
He looks puzzled. Tsk. He can't remember at all. So I detach from his embrace and sing Let it Go with actions of course.
I saw him wince when my voice cracks on the high part but he has an amuse face from the beginning until the end of my performance.
"Do you remember now?" I ask.
"Not yet but I am starting to."
So I started again to sing "love is an open door" even singing the part of the prince maybe on this song he will remember.
After my grammy worthy performance I sat on the floor from exhaustion.
I am sure he remembered it now because I heard him murmur some of the lyrics.
"You remembered now right? Coz I am tired already."
"I think after another song I will remember it."
Okay one last time.
I stand up and wiggle to shake my exhaustion.
"Do you wana build a snowman..." I even sing like a child to make it more realistic. I run around the room to imitate Anna going around the castle. I even knock the door for gajamsake to make it more realistic. If Gideon doesn't remember Anna after this I'll not talk to him for 15 minutes!
Okay that's too long. Maybe 10 minutes.
After my performance I look at Gideon
"And now?"
He went to me and put his arms around my waist and guide me outside of the room.
"Nope. I'll search it on the internet tomorrow. Come on. You can take a bath later. Let's eat first "
I hit his arm " I hate You." I grumbled.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Of course I know who is Anna. I just deny so that Angel will not stop singing.
She may need a vocal trainer but I love her nonetheless even if my ears are bleeding because of her off key performance.
