Sorry For Hurting You's

Sleep Together

Ell came out of the bathroom with a towel on her head.

He walked while drying his still wet hair.

His eyes then caught Alice lying on the bed.

The girl hasn't slept either.

Ell approached the bed and sat down on the side of the bed.

"What's the hem?

Are you worried about something?

Or is your wound getting stifling?

Tell me, I can check your wound."

Alice smiled at Ell's many questions.

"I'm okay, brother.

I just can't sleep."

"Hem, okay.

Oh yeah, sit down.

I want to see the condition of your face."

Alice touched her face.

It was true, that loud slap still left a soreness on his face.

He changed his position to sit.

Ell can see evidence of the crimes that Marine committed on Alice.

His bad taste for Marine again attacked Ell.

He did not expect an Aunt to do such a faraway thing to her own Nephew.

"In the meantime, I'll take something."

Alice looked at Ell who was picking up something from the closet.

Why would Ell bring a medicine box?

The man came back to her with the medicine box in his hand.

Ell takes a closer distance to Alice.

He stared at the face for a while and again felt regret for what Alice had experienced today.

"I'm sorry." said Ell with a soft look.

"Why should you apologize?

What I'm going through isn't because of Brother."

"Eitherway.

I just feel responsible for you.

The wounds on your feet and your reddish face made me feel the pain as well.

Ell then touched Alice's cheek and stroked it gently.

"I won't let anyone do that to you again."

Ell and Alice stared at each other.

It was as if the two of them could sense what they were currently feeling.

Ell smiled and then tied Alice's hair to her ears.

He will apply the medicine so that the redness on Alice's cheek will soon disappear.

"Sister, let me do it myself" said Alice so as not to make the atmosphere between them more tense.

"No, I'll polish it for you.

You just have to wait until it's over.."

Alice finally resigned and let Ell put the medicine on her face.

"Did I touch your cheeks too rough?"

Alice immediately shook her head because in fact Ell so gently applied the medicine to her cheek.

Ell had finished doing his job and then returned the medicine box to its original place.

"Now go to sleep, it's night.

Tomorrow we will return to Jakarta in the morning."

Ell fixed Alice's blanket and made sure the girl was in a comfortable position to sleep.

"Hem, okay, brother."

Alice smiled at Ell.

The man was so attentive to her.

"Sister is getting ready for bed too, right?" Alice just made sure Ell didn't come out of the room again.

He's worried there's still more talk about him and Marine

"Hem, I'm going to sleep too.

I'll sleep there."

Ell pointed towards the sofa not far from there.

Alice looked at the sofa.

The decline of the object was not enough to accommodate Ell's body which had an ideal height.

It is certain that the man will experience pain the next day.

Moreover, Ell had carried him out of the forest for a long time.

"Are you sure you're going to sleep there?" alice said with a doubtful expression and tone.

"Hem, is there anywhere else besides that couch?

Or do you want me to sleep in bed with you?

I will, as long as you don't mind at all." Ell said teasingly.

He just wanted to make Alice smile and sure enough, the girl was now smiling at him.

"Sister Ell, you're all right." said Alice clumsily.

"But it's not wrong to sleep together.

Are we not a husband and wife?

I can sleep next to you tonight Alice."

ell teased Alice again.

"You Ell, stop it!"

Ell's words made Alice even more nervous because she did not expect Ell to give such an answer to her question.

"All right, now go to sleep.

I'll also lie on the couch."

Alice smiled and then nodded slowly.

Ell was also preparing to go to sleep.

But when on the sofa, his body does not get a comfortable position because the size of the sofa is too small for him.

Ell stared at the bed, lest her movements disturb Alice.

Without realizing it, Alice realized it.

Alice had expected that before.

It must be very unpleasant to sleep there.

He started to feel guilty because Ell couldn't sleep in bed because of him.

"Sister Ell.." said Alice suddenly.

Ell was quite surprised and instantly changed her position to sit down.

She thought Alice needed something.

"Alice you're still not asleep?

Do you need anything?"

"Sister Ell, what if we sleep together?" Alice closed her eyes as the question came out of her mouth.

Even though he had considered it repeatedly.

"Hem, what do you mean Alice?"

"Don't this bed have a large size?

We can share the bed.

Ell smiled and then walked over to Alice.

"Are you sure you want to share a bed with me?"

Ell looked at Alice fixedly.

Alice slowly nodded her head.

There really is no other choice.

"This bed belongs to Brother."

"All right then."

Ell immediately took a position beside Alice.

While Alice slowly shifted to provide distance between Ell and herself.

"Hem, cozy.

It would be difficult if all night I slept on the sofa with a size that is too small." said Ell with a sparkling smile.

Alice did not answer Ell's sentence because honestly, she was trying to control her heartbeat which suddenly beat fast.

How not, he was currently sleeping together with Ell.

They were both in the same blanket.

"Alice.." call Ell and then change his sleeping position to the side.

"Hem? alice said without turning her gaze that was still straight ahead.

"Aren't we supposed to do more than this?

Husband and wife usually do not just stay silent while in bed.

Ell's words instantly made Alice turn her face towards the man.

"What does Big Brother mean to say that?" alice said with a surprised expression.

Alice's expression made Ell want to laugh out loud.

But he tried to hold it because he still wanted to do it again.

"I just wanted to." Ell's sentence was cut off.

"Why what?" ask Alice again.

"Wind it..."

"Sister Ell?

Don't think of anything strange" Alice said in a warning tone.

"I want to pinch your cheek because you look so adorable right now."

Ell then laughed loudly.

Alice was annoyed with Ell who had already managed to prick her.

But slowly he smiled

This was the first time Alice had seen the man laughing because of him.

"Aren't you satisfied with me?

"I'm sorry. But I can't help it from seeing your expression."

"Alright, I believe in Brother's words."

Alice still had her face on.

"Yes, I'm sorry.

Come here." Come here."

Alice turned her position towards Ell.

It was unexpected that Ell even approached to reduce their distance.

The two looked at each other.

"It's time to go to bed.

You can't stay up late, hem?"

I'm beside you now too.

I know you couldn't sleep because you were thinking about me, right?"

Alice did not reply and still looked at those two eyes.

Ell stroked Alice's cheek and slipped Alice's hair into her ear.

"Now close your eyes."

Alice smiled and closed her eyes.

"Good sleep Alice.."

"Good sleep, Ell" said Alice with her eyes closed.

Ell smiled and raised Alice's blanket cautiously.

Not long after, regular breathing was heard indicating that Alice was asleep.

Ell looked at that shady face.

It felt so comfortable to see Alice sleeping in front of him.

Mindful of where, Ell brought her face closer and then kissed Alice on the forehead.

"Good night Alice." she said after kissing Alice's forehead.

"I have absolutely no regrets about what I did today.."

Ell closed her eyes and began to fall asleep.

The two slept together in positions facing each other.

It was never expected by anyone that they would sleep in the same bed.

Both of them were in a conscious state even Ell was happily beside Alice.

The kiss on the forehead was also proof that Ell wanted to start something more than what they had agreed upon all along.
