Chapter 28: Chapter 28

"Ugh.. Ugh..." I was still coughing in the middle of the night, flower petals scattered from my mouth, clumping onto the sheets and blanket I was using. Even if I covered it with a tissue, it wouldn’t stop how many petals were out.

Ever since I woke up again after I lost consciousness, my bedroom door can no longer be closed and Gruvv seems so much more overprotective. I don’t know what happened. When I coughed, I could hear Gruvv’s bedroom door open, and I could hear his footsteps rushing towards me.

On the third floor there is only my room and Gruvv.

The maids had a separate building not far from the main house. On the second floor there is a gruvv study, library and also a guest rooms. Every night, it’s just the two of us in this house, on this floor.

"Shiloh, slow down, I’m going to put my finger in your mouth, the petals should all come out.." He said. He puts his finger in my mouth to make the petals out, because sometimes it’s get stuck in my throat making it difficult for me to breathe.

This was became our night routine, he always run into my room and help me to get all the petals out of my mouth. After that, he will clean all the petals and go back to his room. The next morning he would greet me as if nothing had happened, it was as his sleep hadn’t been disturbed last night.

"Mr. Shiloh, does your vomiting still happen every night?" Emma asked me when she was cleaning the room, I was sitting with Ave brushing my hair.

"Ah, sorry Emma, I didn’t wrap it in a cloth before throwing it away." I said, standing awkwardly, I looked at Emma who was tying up plastic garbage. I felt guilty, she must have been disgusted to see those petals in the trash.

"Mr. Shiloh, that’s not what Emma meant." Ave chuckled as she pulled my hand to get me to sit down again. I looked at them, confused. I was always scolded by Madam Rose and dad when they see a pile of petals around me, they always looks disgusted and ask me to get rid of it.

"Sir, I mean are you okay? Did Mr. Gruvv help you when you vomited? The petals sometimes get stuck in your throat.."Emma said with a big smile.

I lowered my head and nodded, "Gruvv always helps me in the middle of night." I replied.

"That’s all we want to know, we’re not here at night. Sometimes, we were worried too but Mr. Gruvv asked us not to go inside the house after midnight." Ave explained while continuing to brushing my hair.

Gruvv asked them not to go into the house after midnight? What does that mean?

I wear a white long-sleeved shirt made of silk with black trousers pants, this is the first time I wear sock garter behind my pants combined with dark brown bluchers shoes. My appearance seemed neat but also casual, because Gruvv and I planning to eat at a restaurant, Ave did not give me a regular T-shirt to wear.

Every day I only wear home shirts, only this time I wear neat clothes. I haven’t dressed like this in a long time.

"This is the coat that Mr. Shiloh is going to wear, Mr. Gruvv bought it when fall were start."

I looked at the coat that Ave gave me, Gruvv bought it for me. I wear it slowly, warmly. Today as what Gruvv said, We will have fun at the city. Gruvv has reserved a table for us to eat at the steakhouse he’s talking about.

"Ah, Well, I can already imagine you wearing this when I choose it. Now that I see you wearing it, it’s much better than I imagined." He said when I came out of the elevator, his words made the maids blush, I lowered my head. Shy. Did he usually say such words? Cheesy.

He hold my hand, "Come on, before eating we have to take a walk in the city first."

I nodded, his hand now holding mine tightly. He is also handsome today too.

"I called George to drive us today."

I stopped my steps abruptly, Gruvv was a little surprised and turned his head. I lowered my head, I could smell George’s pheromones before I could even see him.

Gruvv came closer to me, then he hugged me tightly. His pheromones spreading make me calm.

"Is there? My pheromone? Can you smell it?" He asked, patting my back slowly.

"Yes, thank you." I said awkwardly, I could feel the tip of my lips going up.

He took my hand again and we approached George, the man still looks so scary. He opened the door and let me into the car, luckily Gruvv pheromones spread in the car so that during our ride I did not experience any seizure.

On our ride,I realized that this place was really far away. The distance from the main house to the front gate is almost ten minutes by car, then from the front gate to the main gate takes almost fifteen minutes. I don’t know how Gruvv can commute every day from the city to this place?

I don’t think this is a place worth living.

"You’re not comfortable? Everything okay?" He turned his eye from the phone towards me, his pheromones still filled the car.

"I’m Okay, I’m fine." I said while smiling.

I’m totally fine. It’s just that my fingers feel stiff and my hands sweat, Gruvv does not let go of my hands. He still holding it.

I don’t know how long it took us to get to the city, in the car there was only the sound of music that George was playing. In the back of our car there were two more cars, Gruvv said Don’t mind them, it’s a procedure if he leaves the House.

He’s really a rich man.

The long ride finally came to end, we reached the city. It was late afternoon when we arrived. Gruvv took my hand, several guards is there not far from us. I feel so awkward.

"Are you uncomfortable? You want all the guards to stay away? Their pheromones bother you?" He asked me so many questions that I didn’t know which one to answer first.

I am not stand still because it is uncomfortable, even in the city his pheromones are much more dominant than the smell of the guards pheromone or the passers-by. It’s just he’s holding my hand and doesn’t let it go, also his pheromones, makes me can’t think clearly. Especially today, I think he looks much more handsome than usual.

"I’m fine.." I answered and he looked at me, worry.

We walked down the streets that is not too crowded, today is not a weekend so I could see some people walking in work suits, they look so busy and focused with what they did.

A few high schooler in uniform pass us by, laughing as they eat snacks they bought on the side of the road. Some people are busy with their phones, others are waiting in line at a restaurant or cafe. Everyone has their own life.

I tightened my hold on Gruvv’s hand.

That’s right, I want that freedom too. I want to walk carefree and enjoy what I love.

"Shiloh, do you like it?" He asked.

I turned my head, looking up slightly I could see his shady face. Ah, I really like it, I like this. I wish time could go slower.
