Chapter 16 : Complaints

Samuel

Until!

My subconscious screams at me.

This is wrong, Samuel!

I push myself a little back, realizing what the hell I was doing.

I should not!

I should fucking not— when she's not even awake.

She again squirms underneath me, her eyebrows curling up. The discomfort is visible on her face.

"Jesus!" she seethes. "Mama! My head hurts"

The next moment, she rubs her eyes, opening them slowly at me. Then she blinks, confused.

"Huh!" she groans. "Oh! Mama isn't here"

"Yeah. She is not", I mutter, sitting back and sliding my arm around her torso, pulling her upwards as her back rests against my torso and her head falls back onto my chest.

I secure her with my arm and gently caress her forehead with my other hand. She just hums, holding my wrist. Her eyes are closed and she's still in half sleep.

"You're so bad!" she mumbles, making me chuckle.

"Why so?"

She doesn't respond, snoozing.

"Chrisanna, don't sleep", I grunt.

She's still snoozing but she can't fall back into a deep sleep
