Love Sheila
(Not ) First Night
Tonight Steven and Sheila sleep at Jefri's house, tomorrow Steven will bring Sheila to Ricko's house.
Sheila filled Steven's plate then handed it to Steven, then poured some drinking water. Steven was surprised to find the treatment of Sheila, but then he understood after seeing Sarah who also serves Jefri. While Sheila felt a little awkward, this was the first time she had served Steven, serving her husband.
After dinner, Sheila helps Sarah clean the dining table, with the help of Bi Sumi. Jefri pamit rest first.
"We want to talk to you" Max said to Steven.
Steven nodded then followed Max and Leon towards the study on the second floor.
"Why do you agree to marry me, even though I know you already have a boyfriend?" attack Max once they're inside the workspace.
"Sorry, but it doesn't seem like you need to know what my reason is" Steven replied calmly.
"Lo tuh ya," an irritated Max immediately grabbed hold of Steven's collar.
"Don't Max," leerai Leon while holding Max. "Lo has to be patient, don't use emotions."
Max screeched then let go of his grip.
"Okay, I don't want to know what the reason is Lo, but one thing you have to remember is fine, never even though Lo nyakitin adek me. If until Lo nyakitin adek me, I must have Lo run out with me," threatened Max.
"Max," scolded Leon.
"What?" Max is still emotional.
"No need to use emotions, no, no habits," grumbled Leon.
There was a little warmth felt Steven saw the brother-sister debate that actually looks familiar in his eyes, a form of affection for each other. Something she never felt, because she was an only child.
"We've taken Sheila as our own little sister. After the death of her parents, as much as possible we tried to make Sheila happy, so that she would not feel alone in this world. Your marriage is quite sudden definitely not an easy thing for Sheila and also Lo herself, so we ask not to hurt Sheila, please love her, take care and protect her," he continued.
"Since the death of her parents Sheila was often moody. He may show joy in front of everyone, but we know best that he is very fragile" Max softened.
"You can keep my promise, I'll always look after and protect Sheila" Steven said without hesitation.
Steven felt a little confused with himself, as if the promise was uttered beyond his will, but his heart was so steady.
...
Steven opened the door to Sheila's room slowly, seeing Sheila sitting in front of the dresser applying night cream on her face. Both of them had been fixated for a while, still feeling foreign and not used to the present conditions that have been martyred into husband and wife.
After closing the door Steven sat on the edge of the bed.
"Sorry, the bed may be too small, I can sleep on the sofa if Mas is uncomfortable" Sheila said after turning her body to face Steven.
Steven smiled faintly. "What kind of man lets a woman sleep on the couch while she herself sleeps comfortably in bed."
"Not so, I mean"
"We're both sleeping in bed tonight, I promise I won't do things you don't want" Steven cut, cold and undeniable.
Sheila nodded her head slowly. He then turned off the headlights and replaced them with a small lamp on the nightstand, then went up to the bed. Pulling the blanket over the bodies of the two of them and sleeping sideways to Steven's back.
This was the first time Sheila had slept in bed with a man. Awkward, nervous, not used to it, to make it very difficult to be closed.
Not much different from what Steven felt next to him.
