My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 356

As I had to make a trip down to Ucrebury the next day, I decided to tuck into bed early. However, as expected, I was losing sleep again.

Hendrix noticed that I had trouble falling asleep. He tugged me into his arm and hugged me. "Would you like to have a go again tonight?"

I...

There was a very big difference between one time and one night.

"Hendrix, I need to go to Ucrebury tomorrow. I need to reserve my energy." Saying that, I turned my back against him. I closed my eyes to try and get some sleep.

He hugged me from the back, easily spooning me. Even though he kept his hand to himself and was only hugging me, but I...

After some time, I frowned at him and said, "Hendrix, I can't fall asleep like this."

"Why not? We are husband and wife. So why can't we?" He said these words with confidence.

I pursed my lips and moved closer to the edge of the bed trying to get a little further away from him.

But he stuck close to me like my second skin. Restless, I gave up and closed my eyes trying to fall asleep.

The more I wanted to fall asleep, the harder it was for me to do so. Just like that, the night crawled forward and I lost my sleep again. I woke up at 6 the next morning.

I got out of bed. I was feeling a little disoriented from the lack of sleep. When I walked, it felt like I was floating and there were ringing sounds in my ears. I felt terribly uncomfortable.

Hendrix got up as well. He probably did not sleep well last night either. He said, "I'll take you to the airport."

"No, it's okay. It's still early. You should catch a little sleep," I replied while preparing to head to the bathroom to wash up.

He put on his pajamas and smoothen the furrow between his brows. "It's okay. I can catch some sleep again at noon."

I frowned and swallowed the words of refusal. I then went to the bathroom to wash up. When I was done, he had already changed his clothes and was prepared to leave.

We arrived at the airport.
