LOVE AND REVENGE LIONA

CHAPTER 52.PLEASE ACCOMPANY ME

After a long time, Reynard still did not fall asleep. Ardana and Delvin glanced at Liona, as if understanding Liona also asked “What can I do?”

Not yet had time to continue her sentence, Felicia ran into Reynard's room “Papa! Papa!” the tears were pouring down the cheeks.  All who saw felt sad and pity for the little girl.  Even Liona shed tears.  Reynard may look cold and scary but he never gave any trouble to Liona, instead the man helped her a lot, gave her a contract that benefited Liona and sponsored Elvano while Liona was filming.  Although Liona's attitude like not liking Reynard but she can not lie to him, if she is interested in the widower of the one child.

“Liona.” says Delvin called him.

“Iya. What's up?”

“I beg your help, please accompany my brother tonight only.”

“A—what? You mean my a—?” he was nervous as if he could not believe Delvin had asked him to accompany Reynard.  Doesn't that mean she should sleep in bed with that guy?

“Bu—not so.  You remember the last time my brother slept well in your old house? That never happened before.  At that time my sister even slept all day.  So I beg you to help my brother, maybe with you beside him can help him fall asleep.”

“Cannot be. At that time he fell asleep due to fatigue.” kilah Liona.

“Liona...please I beg you! Just try it first. I promise I won't ask you to do anything weird in the future.”

“Nona Liona, if fatigue can help Reynard sleep, we will not spend time and money on various kinds of treatment and therapy. Do you remember how he fell asleep on your lap? I saw it for myself at that time, even the noise did not disturb his sleep at all. So I beg you please.”

Felicia who heard their conversation rushed over and pulled the end of Liona's clothes. “Mama Liona, please papa yes. Does mama Ilona love me?”

The deg!

‘How could I refuse this little girl? She is very adorable with her round eyes.’

“Liona. If it continues that way he won't last long.  He could have sudden death.” Delvin explains Reynard's condition. Liona's heart felt like jumping, her face turned pale imagining the man she liked would leave the little girl alone.  His pity and worry made him feel even more guilty if he refused.

“We understand how you feel, having to go to bed with a man she has not known for a long time.  But, wouldn't it be noble to save the lives of others?”

“Good.  I'll try.”

“Thanks mom Liona. I love you mama.” said Felicia hugging Liona.

“I love you too baby girl,” back hugged the little girl.

Slowly Liona got closer to the bed, she turned her head briefly towards the two little men and girls and Elvano.  Elvano, who understood that her mother had to help Reynard, just nodded as if giving her permission.  They came out of the room and closed the door. Elvano and Felicia slept in the same room.

Liona took a bath in the guest room and put on her pajamas, took a deep breath and entered Reynard's room. The room was dark with only a small amount of light from the window that provided the lighting. Slowly Liona sat on the edge of the big and soft bed.  Reynard turned on the light next to the bed. He was tired with his eyes closed.  The woman froze looking at the face and body of her dream man wearing a thin t-shirt attached to his burly body, revealing his flat, muscular stomach.  Liona swallowed her saliva, for the first time she saw Reynard not dressed formally. His eyes opened and saw Liona there. “What are you doing here?” reynard looked at the woman without blinking.

“Sleeping..eh..no...I mean, maybe I can help you sleep. It's a silly idea but they said it could work, a—I just want to help you.”

Reynard smiled and his eyes implied victory.  She was glad that the woman was finally willing to help her.  Liona felt strange to him, his intention to help Reynard to overcome insomnia even he felt impatient to sleep with the man.  Fuck those! I'm here, on the bed, the man is right next to me.  I hope it's true, I'm here to help her sleep.

“Oh, Alright.” slowly she shifted closer and closer to Reynard.  Both of them sat in silence.  No one was trying to break the awkwardness between them. The bedroom was very large and spacious equipped with a bathroom, walk in closet and a set of sofas near the window. Liona circulated her gaze scanning every corner of the room. The bedroom looks very classy and is designed in a Mediterranean style. The striking masculine color is predominantly black, gray and white.

“Are you okay? How are you feeling now?” Liona turned to look at Reynard who looked increasingly pale. Liona was worried to see him.

“I can't sleep when I'm so sleepy. My head is starting to feel really heavy.”

Just from earlier his eyes closed and his forehead frowned, maybe he was enduring the headache of lack of sleep.  Insomnia really torments this guy.  Liona moved her body closer to Reynard. ‘When he fell asleep in my lap, maybe I could ask him to lie on my lap.’

“Ehm...will you put your head on my lap?’

“Mau! Of course.” replied reynard quickly.  Liona fixed her sitting position to be comfortable.  Then his hand slapped his thigh, Reynard looked at his face for a while then slowly laid his head on Liona's lap.

“Do you mind me sleeping on your lap? How can you sleep if I'm in this position?” ask Reynard.

“Betul too,” his hiss chuckles.  There was no way Reynard would sleep on his lap until morning.  “How about you lie next to me while hugging my hand? Do you think it could work?”

“Can only. We can try.” Reynard sat down and lay down beside Liona.  The woman tilted her body to the side and placed her hand on Reynard's face. The man looked at Liona's face with sparkling eyes and smiled.

“Do you want to chat?”

“Of course.”

“How did you get insomnia?” ask Liona.

Reynard's eyes glazed over.

“Hey...it's okay. I'm just asking, sorry if my question made you uncomfortable. I'm sorry I asked about the thing that made you uncomfortable.” he said stroking Reynard's face. His eyes looked at the black netra of the man with full gentleness.  Like a mother putting her child to sleep.

“Four years ago, there was a terrible incident that made me so hard to sleep for years.  I had an accident and my wife died on the spot.  Felicia was only a few days old. Since then I have had trouble sleeping.”

“Sorry, I don't know.  Thank you for sharing with me. You must have been tired all this time. I promise I'll help you.”

‘I better stop asking in more detail, pity she has to remember that tragic incident.’

“Oh yes. Felicia once said that you never had a relationship with anyone after that. Even you haven't had a blind date lately.”

“No. I'm not involved with blind dates. Aren't you my lover now?” reynard's gaze rightly met with Liona who was also looking at him. The two of them were silent, only their eyes were talking.  A sense of comfort emerged, Reynard's hand touching Liona's cheek which slowly closed his eyes enjoying Reynard's hand touch.
