Let the freedom reign.

We decided to head back in the same car. Alex and Zayden sat in front while I and Jannet took backseat.

I was gazing outside when Alex asked, “Cutie, Are you hungry? Wanna eat sandwich?”

“No, I’m tired I just want to go home and sleep.”

My eyes clashed with Zayden's as he was peering at me through rear view mirror. He was scrutinizing my face, I felt like he wanted to say something. I rest my head against the window staring at him.

Lifting his phone he typed something and my buzzed.

Zayden – Are you okay?

Me – yes

Zayden – Sleepy?

Me – Mm-hmm

Zayden – You are okay with the speed Alex is driving?

Me – Yes

Zayden – Really Angel?

My cheeks burned red when I read his message.

Me – Yes!

He read my message and looked at me once more and turned his gaze to his right looking outside.

I gazed at the trees, the open fields and streams as we pass them for a long time.

Huffing, I stare at my phone which was laying on my lap.

Me – I am bored of watching tress and open fields.

Zayden's phone buzzed. He checked his phone and then looked at me through the mirror.

Zayden – I see. So let’s talk? Tell me what were you asking me yesterday?

Was this topic needed now.

Zayden – Hey where are you lost? I’m waiting.

I was tapping my fingers on the screen contemplating if I should him ask him or not.

Me – Why do you call me angel?

Finally after batting with my thoughts I typed the message and hit the send button and rested my phone on my lap.

Within a second my phone vibrated. Biting my lower lip I turned the phone to look at his reply.

Zayden – I can call my wife whatever I want. Right?

My heart did a flip when I read his reply.

My face flushed while my insides were like swans splashing in their own rhythm.

Zayden – Why aren’t you replying? Wait, Is that a blush? God! You are blushing heavily.

I place my palm on my cheeks cupping my face while my lips curled upwards.

Me – Quit teasing. Where did you learn to speak so much. And when did you become this bold.

- I don't know, I speak freely when iam texting..!

- okay..!

- I will ask you something..?

"hey why are you blushing so much, whom are you texting.. " jannet asked

"Is she blushing" Alex adjusted the mirror to look at me. "really cutie..! why are you blushing so much..? " he asked

"hey iam not blushing, iam feeling hot.. " I replied..

Alex increased the ac and diverted his attention back to driving.

My phone buzzed again.

zayden - lier..!

me - I didn't lie.. 🧐.. anyways you wanted to ask something right..?

- 'why do I call you angel.'. you could have asked this question yesterday right..?

He doesn't know what I feel when he is close to me..

me - you were so close to me , how could you expect me to speak, I was having a heart attack.

I don't know why without hesitation I typed the message and sent him...

zayden - should I be happy after listening to this..!

me - don't know..!

zayden - umm.. I guess iam happy that my presence has some effect on you...

I replied with a smily emoji.

Rest of the drive was peaceful, we reached home and ordered food for us.

Something in mine and zayden relationship has changed,we just glance at each other quite often just like typical middle school kids...

After having dinner Alex took jannet with him leaving me and zayden.

Both of us were sleeping, we didn't maintain the same gap like earlier , the gap has reduced a little.

"were you scared today when your foot slipped? " zayden asked

I turned to face him but he was looking at the ceiling.

"whom are you speaking to..? " I asked

he turned to look at me "you.. who else is here.. "

"You were looking up , yea I was scared I thought it's my end..but thanks to Alex iam still breathing... "

"hmm..! "

We stayed quite, few seconds we were looking at each other and then later we turned our gaze.

Then I remembered today's morning incident. Now I will ask him, how did he allow jannet to kiss him.

"So I remember you said no kissing, no hugging right..? " I said raising an eye brow and looking at him with angry face

"shit.! " he cursed.

"So which means even I can kiss---" I stopped speaking when he suddenly came close to me, like really close, his nose was almost touching mine.

He pushed my hair away from my face, my breathe hitched when he touched me, he ran his knuckles on my cheek , I couldn't bare the sensation, I closed my eyes and inhaled trying to calm my nerves which were presently set on fire by zayden's touch. Next moment I felt his warm hands around my waist he pulled me towards him,my hands rested on his shoulder "speak up.. " he whispered , I open my eyes to look at him, how can he ask me to speak when he is this close to me, I was looking at him then I lowered my eyes, I can't see those alcoholic eyes anymore, he buried his face in crook of my neck, god..! someone save me cause I can't handle so much tension, this thing which iam feeling right now is so different..i could feel his hot breathe on my neck, is he breathing me..? I had goosebumps all over my body, how can his touch affect me so much..? "Only iam supposed to touch you.. " my stomach twisted after listening to him.

"Undrestood" he asked, but I was not in a condition to reply to any of his question.

He pressed his lips below my ear , chill ran down my spine, I held his shirt tightly.. "yeess... " I whispered. I could feel his lips curled up on my skin.

"goodnight angel..! " he said but didn't move a bit..

"um aren't you going to sleeping on your side..? "

"no... it's okay to hug your wife while sleeping.."he said

If he keeps on telling me words like this, I will go crazy within few days.

"good night.. " I replied inhaling his scent..

Morning when I woke up, I was in seventh heaven...

Happiness is waking up in the morning, feeling the warmness of the person you love.. ❥ As usual I was looking at him but the only difference is today he is sleeping too close to me with one of his hand around my stomach. His behavior was so amiable yesterday. I laid there in his arms for few minutes. I slowly removed his hand from my stomach and went to take bath.

As usual after preparing breakfast I woke him up.

"good morning..! " I said with a smile

"morning .." he replied back.

My day is gonna be good today.

College atmosphere was not like everyday, everyone seem quite tensed and crowd was gathered near the department notice board..

OH SHIT...! how can I forget, today is our result day.

The list was finally put up, some students were happy about their result , few faces were pale..

I finally made my way near to notice board, my heart was racing like it races when Iam close to zayden.

I was chanting silent prayer 'God please I don't want to come second, I don't want to lose my position '...

There were two lists on the notice board according to rank,I closed my eyes for 2 second then I moved my gaze to first row of the list, all the while my heart was pounding. I saw my name in the first position..

By the angel..! I didn't lose my position, iam still topper...!

Thank god, I was really happy, my happiness could be seen on my face. I made my way out of the crowd to see zayden and Alex standing few meters away from me , i don't know whose soul came inside me without thinking for a second I ran towards them , they both were gazing at me in awe. I just jumped on zayden when I was near to him. My hands being wrapped around his neck, he turned one round to balance himself along with me because the force with which I jumped on him was too much...

"wahoo.... cool down angel...! "

My happiness was at peak and my senses were out of my control. I don't know what I was doing but thankfully he didn't pull me away instead he held me like that, after few moments i realised what I did , judging by the confused look of the people around.

holy crap..!

I moved away from him "iam sorry, I was carried away with happiness...iam really sorry for what I did.." I said looking down.

"it's okay... " he replied

what..? Is he really okay cause many people saw me hugging him.

"really..? people saw us.. "

"so..? " he asked raising an eye brow.

"They are going to speak about us now..? "

" I don't care, anyways why are you so happy..?! " he asked

I look at him grinning "I came first even in this semester.. "

His lips curled up, it was not a smile but it was like saying not-bad.

"congrats cutie.. " Alex said giving me a side hug.

"My rank is reduced, iam 5th.." zayden said

"why..? we both studied together right..? " I asked without thinking for a second.

"yea... but my wife ordered me not to write the last question right.. so see my rank went down by 4"

My face flushed instantly, did he just tell 'my wife ordered ' , I don't know why but instead of feeling bad about his rank I was happy hearing to his words.

"why do you want to top when you are so rich , let other students who are in need get the scholarship.. " I said letting him know the reason why I asked him to leave the last question.

"why did you top then? , you could have left this chance for some needy person na.. "

"who told you that iam rich... " holding my book in front of my chest.

"why do you always forget that you are zayden harley's wife.. " he replied....

I was just stunned after listening to his sentence. It's unbelievable...!

"wow.. I can't believe you just said that.. " alex said, even he was shocked ...

"let's go to class. " zayden pulled alex along with him...

❤...
