Chapter 110 Longing

• Juliet's eyes slowly fluttered open. As she stirred on the bed, her body was a bit sore, and it took only a few seconds for the memories of what they had done to invade her mind... her cheeks became completely flushed, and her lips slightly parted as she thought about his touch and the desire and pleasure they had shared...
• She got up from the bed abruptly in a sitting position and looked beside her to see an empty bed... where was he... she looked down and realised that Alex had worn his shirt for her... when did he do that? Was she doing deep asleep... juliet got up from the bed and headed to the room door... her legs wobbly like jelly, but she managed to make it outside the room.... she walked slowly down the stairs, holding the rail, she could tell that it was still very early because the sun wasn't even out yet... "Alex," Juliet called out to him, and for the first time, she heard her voice and how hoarse it had become... her face became even more flushed because of the reason her voice was hoarse... But she became a little worried when she didn't hear Alex call back to her... Juliet headed straight for the living room, and it was then She saw him... he was sitting on the floor close to the couch, and she immediately became worried and panicked... thinking that he was having yet another panic attack... "Alex!" Juliet called out his name as she rushed to his side, but Alex held her hand and drew her into his arms as soon as she was standing beside him... Juliet's eyes were wide with fear as she stared at him... her heart racing as her eyes scanned his face to make sure he was okay... "Why are you up too early?" Alex said in a low voice and felt his heart break because he knew she had been worried about him.. he could tell just by looking into her eyes... "You weren't beside me, and I thought..." Juliet trailed off, trying to call her raining heart... "I'm sorry for scaring you. I couldn't sleep, and I didn't want to wake you...I'm fine, I promise," Alex assured, and Juliet nodded... she snuggled closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder... she loved being in his arms so much, and it just completed her...
• "Do you find it hard to sleep every night?" Juliet asked a few minutes later, breaking the silence between the both of them... it took Alex a few seconds before he finally responded... "Yes, sometimes..." He responded... he wanted to sleep, but when he finally got the sleep he wanted, it always ended up becoming a nightmare for him, so most times, he found it hard to fall asleep... he wanted to avoid his nightmare as much as possible... "Have you seen a doctor about it?" She continued with her questions, and Alex nodded... "Yes, I have, I was prescribed some sleeping pills if it doesn't work much,"
