Ex But Married

MTM 28-One Bed

"Thank you for picking me up." Celine spoke as if she were whispering. The still dripping speck of rain did not block Celine's voice from getting into Marvel's eardrum very close to her lips, but Marvel just kept quiet.

For Marvel's entire life, this was the first time his feet stepped on the mud. This street is so muddy, even as a child never played dirty like this, but now just because it does not want Celine fell Marvel willing to tarnish his expensive shoes. While walking and carrying Celine on his back, Marvel thought why would he sacrifice for Celine?

"Do you know where I came from in that old house?" ask Celine again.

Celine asked a question that still stuck in Marvel's heart.

"Do I need to answer?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"For what? What matters is that you're safe now."

"Hm, yes too. You saved me twice. I'll never forget it. Someday, I'll definitely return your services."

Marvel stopped his steps, he turned his head to look into the eyes of Celine who also saw him.

"It's my responsibility to protect you, Celine. You and your safety will be Marvel's priority" replied Marvel.

Celine was silent, her body was still cold but her heart was warm.

"If you've already met Jeny, will I still be the main one for you?"

Marvel sighed deeply, he knew Celine still doubted him. But, it's okay because he is still difficult to make peace with himself.

"You're dying to hear the answer?"

Celine nodded, but was unsure. Why ask when you already know the answer? Marvel will definitely number her. And Jeny was definitely the main one.

"Master! Miss!!! "

That shout severed the eye ties of Celine and Marvel. Celine even accidentally dropped her flashlight. At the same time another lamp shone on them.

"Thank God Mister and Miss are fine. Please wear this raincoat, sir."

Marvel glanced at Harry's raincoat, knowing Harry must be worried about him.

"No need, I'm already wet."

Harry saw Celine. "It's a raincoat for Miss." Giving her the raincoat that Grandma had put on her.

"Sorry to trouble you, Harry. Seb-

"Why are you apologizing to him? That's his job!" concluded Marvel, he knew that Celine must have asked to be taken down. "We can freeze if you talk here."

Marvel immediately confirmed his steps carrying Celine up to the house.

"Hachi!!!"

"Hachi!!"

"Hachi!!"

Marvel came out of the walk in closet in black sleeping pajamas in line with the pajamas Celine wore. Her hair was still half wet, but Marvel remained lying on the sofa that had become her bed after marriage. The head that felt dizzy forced him to close his eyes, Marvel hopes when the head will not be dizzy again.

"Hachi!!!"

"Hachi!!!"

"Marvel you flu?" Celine got out of bed and went straight to Marvel. "Why are you sleeping with your hair still wet like this?"

"Hachi!!!"

Marvel changed her position to back Celine.

"Don't be a child, dry your hair quickly, otherwise you could have a fever."

"I don't want to, you sleep don't disturb my sleep."

Celine clucked, where she could sleep while the person who had helped her was threatened with illness. Finally Celine took the hair dryer and dried Marvel's hair without permission.

"Celine you-

"So quiet, you just sleep."

"You're so noisy, how am I supposed to sleep?"

"If so, don't sleep first." Celine pulled Marvel's hand. "Sit down, let me dry your hair."

Marvel resigned, he sat down to let Celine do everything she wanted including ruffling her hair.

"You sick? Your forehead is hot." Celine's palms were hot when she accidentally touched Marvel's forehead.

Marvel brushed off Celine's hand. "Not only my forehead, my whole body is hot because of this device!"

"No, you got a fever let me call the doctor, yeah." Celine put the hair dryer in any place, when she was about to go Marvel blocked her hand.

"Don't call the doctor. I just need to rest," said Marvel softly, his eyes hot, but his body cold.

Celine was silent for a moment, she suddenly could not bear to see Marvel sleeping on the sofa like now, what if Marvel really hurt?

"Ehm, you just sleep in bed. Let me sleep on the couch."

Marvel was surprised to hear it, but due to dizziness he could only speak softly. "No, I'm not here anyway, I might let you sleep on the couch."

"Alright," Celine relented. "If so, we both sleep in bed. But, you don't fuck around, yeah!"

Hearing that, Marvel was no longer dizzy.
