Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 121

“Natalia, why are you here? Do you know what time it is?” Reiner uttered the moment he saw me standing in front of his room’s door.

Once again, he managed to open the door right before I started knocking. It was some time very late at night and the reason I was here was…

“I can’t sleep. I’m tired but too stressed out and no, I don’t know, and I don’t care what time it is. You weren’t asleep, right?” I replied as I pouted at him.

“So, what do you want?” Reiner replied. He was clearly using his big body to block me from entering the room.

“Let me sleep here…please?” I said in a sweet voice as I smile pleadingly at him. This smile works very well on Zak…by the way….

“No. Go back to your room. It’s late. Oh, and if you keep turning up here, I’m going to change rooms,” Reiner replied and began closing the door in my face.

“No! don’t close the door…” I screamed as I pulled on the door. How can he do this to me?

“Natalia…go back to sleep,”

“If I could do that, I wouldn’t be here. Use your head. What about…you come to my room, then?”

“No. Now go back to your room,” Reiner said curtly before closing the door firmly in my face.

What…just happened?! Did he just…shut the door in my face?! What?! Is the sky falling?!

“R! open the door…Reiner, open the door…” I called out to him as I banged softly on the door. It’s late at night so it’ll be bad if I wake everyone up.

I’m sure he can hear me, but I am not getting a response. I guess he’s going to just ignore me until I go back to my room. Maybe I should just head back before he gets sick of me…or…

“I’m just going to sit here until you open the door,” I stated firmly as I sat down in front of his door leaning my back against the wall of the hallway.

Since I can’t fall asleep in my bed, I might as well try my luck trying to fall asleep in the hallway instead. I hated being alone nowadays…whenever I’m alone my mind wanders and the paths that it wanders along aren’t filled with pink rose petals either. The day’s I’ve spent with Reiner by my side helped to dissolve the troubles in my mind. It didn’t just help me forget and keep my fears at bay, it really made me feel a little stronger to have him by my side.
