Chapter # 31

"Easy.." I breathe out, standing on the bed while holding the bedpost, trying to stay composed and not freak out.

Sweat rolled down from my forehead as I was panting heavily.

"Watch it!" I shouted as Christian turned to look at my scared form and narrowed his eyes at me in annoyance.

"It's just a lizard." He sighed.

"You know me, damn it! I am scared of any kind of insect!" I whined.

"It's a reptile." He corrected me.

"I don't care what it is! Just kill it already!"

I just woke up and saw a lizard on the ground and my terror took over as I screamed, waking him up.

And now he is looking for the lizard as I was standing on the bed in dread.

"You have such a castle-like mansion can't you watch it out from insects!" I complained. He spares a glance at me and said.

"It's not my fault. And a lizard is a reptile." His stressed face turned into a wicked smirk as he said.

"I'll catch it and throw it at you."

My eyes widened in horror as I shook my head no. His smirk grew wider.
