CHAPTER 83: WATER AND TOWEL REMEDY
CHAPTER 83: WATER AND TOWEL REMEDY
LEV’S POV
She was driving me nuts!! Galina!
I tried to look as calm as possible at the ball but I could feel my insides burn as Galina was dancing and flirting with those other men. She was drunk, it was obvious and I know too well what she does when she’s drunk, I should know since I remembered clearly what we did years ago.
‘Fuck!’, I cussed in my head as I paced around trying not to be too obvious.
Nikolai entrusted me here to protect his woman and his sister, but my eyes were more on his sister and I don’t have any clue where Lily is.
“Do y-you want to… to go somewhere more… private?”, I overheard the wasted Galina say to some elite son who just smiled hungrily at her while licking his lips. My eyes opened wide and my teeth clenched with burning fury.
I kept replaying the scenes of more than 4 years ago when Galina and I had sex… or made love?
She was never invisible to me, I know whatever she does, wherever she goes, what she ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I know what her favorite snack is, her favorite place, her happy memories, everything. But… I am only but a nobody, I don’t have any trace of wealth in my blood. I was born to serve The Vladimir family, not fall in love with their only daughter, Mr Oleg Vladimir would have my head for that.
Galina has always been in my heart since I came to the Vladimir’s household after the death of my father. I could remember the first time I saw her, she was so cute, funny, spoilt and a talkative but she didn’t notice me.
Nikolai is my friend and boss and I don’t want to break that friend’s code by dating his sister, Mr Vladimir is very unforgiving and he loves his daughter more than anything, Roman never even liked me from day one.
Galina was the girl of my dreams, she was too perfect for this world. I have always had this sense of protecting her from this evil world but I have to do that from afar and not by her side.
I know she must hate me so much after how I treated her in the past.
I was aware of her stalking me and buying me gifts secretly. I wasn’t at Nikolai’s side as a weakling as I was sharp and aware.
I hate myself so much! I hated that I just left Galina there after the sex, I hated that I avoided her and pretended like nothing happened, I hated that she was so depressed after and I hate myself for being the reason for her tears.
I didn’t want to admit it but I was scared, scared that I would not be able to fight for her and that I can’t provide for her. Of course I was rich, I didn’t work for Nikolai for free, I have a healthy amount of money and resources but this was Galina for Christ sake! A princess! She deserves nothing but the best, she deserves to be with someone who can afford anything she dream of.
But why was I still drawn to her, why was I standing here and watching her flirt with those hungry rich boys, I couldn’t leave her and I couldn’t have her either.
She tried to kiss him and I couldn’t hold it anymore, I grabbed her wrist, careful not to hurt her, I didn’t care about what people would say.
“Who- who are y-you!!…”, Galina struggled in my hand and I didn’t flinch, I took her away from the crowd trying to keep her away from prying eyes who are waiting for the high and mighty Miss Galina to cause a scandal.
She hasn’t realized it was me and I didn’t say anything, I took her away and left the ballroom to the main mansion.
“Hey! I’m tal… talking to y-you!”, She said drunkenly, trying to sound tough but I just smirked. She had her mouth to my arm and bit me hard, I hissed but didn’t let go.
I looked down at my hand when she pulled away and I was bleeding, her mouth covered with my blood and surprisingly, I was turned on.
‘Fuck’, I cussed in my head.
She paused and tasted what was in her mouth and wanted to say something but she passed out. I caught her before she could hit the ground.
I carried her in bridal style and went upstairs to her room.
“Get a clean towel and warm water”, I instructed a maid on the way and she nodded.
I got to Galina’s room and opened the door, I sighed and walked in, placing her gently on the bed as I moved the hair away from her face. I smiled to myself as I was satisfied to see her this up close, she was beautiful, her nose high and her eyelashes were long. Her rosy lips were calling me in and just before I could think about doing anything, I heard a knock on the door.
“Come in”, I said and left the bedside, the maid came in with a bowl of water and towels. She kept the bowl and towel on the table.
“You can leave”, I said to her.
“Oh no sir, I can do it”, The maid replied, trying to offer help.
“I didn’t ask you to. Leave”, I ordered her and she bowed her head and left. I know she didn’t mean any harm and was only trying to do her duties but she was about to ruin my chance of touching Galina.
I walked to the bedside and sat next to the unconscious Galina. I took the towel and dipped it into the warm water, brought it out and squeezed it and placed it on her forehead and she shivered a bit.
I haven’t done this before but I was willing to learn for Galina. I dabbed the clothe on her forehead several times, taking it down her butter-like cheeks and to her neck. Her dress was too big and I didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable in it so I called for a maid to come change her into something more comfortable.
I waited outside while two maids were helping the sleeping Galina undress.
After a few minutes, the maids came out and bowed before leaving, I entered into the room and closed the door. Galina laid on the bed with a white but comfortable pajamas on.
I sat back down on my position and continued with the cloth and water therapy. I moved to her neck and she stared in her sleep while mouthing something, she pouted in the process and I chuckled at how cute she looks right now.
“What should I do with you huh Galina?”, I whispered and sighed. I put the towel back into the water and squeezed, dabbing and cleaning her face. I did this for several more times before dropping the towel back in the water and decided to go.
If I stayed here for another second, I might loose it and I didn’t want that. I stood up but I felt a hand clinging to my sleeves, I looked down and it was Galina. Her eyes were opened but not widely and she was saying something but I didn’t get her.
“What is it?”, I asked.
“Hmm mhm…”, She murmured and I smiled at her.
“Go back to sleep okay?”, I patted the top of her head and tried to stand up again but she pulled me back.
“Pl… please st… stay”, She said while rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand. I was caught off guard by her request.
‘I thought she hated me?’, I asked myself. I smiled widely as I still tried to understand if she made a mistake.
“Wha-what did you say?”, I asked her again, moving closer to her.
“Stay with me. Please?”, She repeated and I smiled and nodded.
I moved to sit on the sofa and she dragged me back.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“No! Lay with me… here”, She said, pointing at the space on the bed next to her. I know she was still drunk and might not remember what happens in the morning but I didn’t want such opportunity to be close to her go away.
I agreed and she laid back down on the bed, I took off my shoes and folded up my sleeves and hopped on the bed. I tried to keep a safe distance on the bed but Galina hugged me with her head on my chest and my eyes grew wide in shock.
“So warm”, She said and I chuckled and wrapped my hands around her as I have to enjoy it as this could be the only opportunity to hold her this close to me.
My mind was at rest as the other Vladimir members were still back at the ball and no one will come in here.
