Undisturbed Sleep
“It’s plain and simple but I think there’s a chic vibe to it…” Hayden said with his eyes on my sketch.
Honestly, I was relieved that he agreed with the concept that I had in mind after I had spent a few minutes explaining it to him. I was afraid that he would say that it would be too plain at first.
“I think the simple white background and black text and headers are probably best for a chic look like you said. The rest of the color will be provided by photos of my work anyways so it’s not like the whole website will be black and white or anything…” I continued to explain.
“So which design are you going for?” Hayden asked as he turned to look straight at me.
That’s a very good question. I drew out three options, but I wasn’t sure…
“What about you? Out of the three, which one do you think would work best?” I asked in return.
Hayden turned back and studied the three template designs again and I could tell that he was seriously evaluating them in turn.
“I like this one best. It seems easy to navigate and the photo of your work is large and clear,” he explained his choice flawlessly.
Now that he mentioned it, I think I agreed with him. Now that that is settled, I can start creating my website tomorrow using some basic creation tool. Thankfully, there were loads of options available to help newbies like me create a website.
“Great. I’ll go with this one then…” I readily agreed.
“Have you thought about the URL name? Is it just going to be your name? Do you have a pseudonym or something?” Hayden asked.
“Good question. I haven’t really thought about it. So far, I haven’t done much to market my work, so I never thought about it,” I admitted shyly.
“Time to get more serious if you want to make this your career. Alternatively, you can just laze around all day in the mansion,” Hayden said, and I wasn’t sure if he was serious of if he was joking.
“I’ll get more serious. I’ll come up with pseudonym that sounds cool and mysterious,” I declared with renewed determination.
I didn’t want to laze around doing nothing. After spending years polishing up my skills, I am desperate to launch my career as an artist.
…
Malissa’s bedroom was dark and silent. Hayden’s eyes couldn’t see much in the dark but based on his memories and the rough outlines that he could see; he could make his way over from the door to her bed with ease. Crouching down next to her bed, he brought his face closer to her’s and he could tell that she was sound asleep. The sound of her breathing was deep and regular. It was a shame that he couldn’t see her sleeping face in the darkness, but he had enough memories of it to picture what she must have looked like sleeping peacefully in that moment.
Malissa’s mood has improved dramatically, and she had started to smile and enjoy her life once again. Although he could sense that she was still troubled from time to time, he was relieved and overjoyed by her improvement. Despite his efforts to part with her earlier in the evening so that she could get some quality undisturbed sleep, some how in his own struggle to fall asleep his feet had taken him into her room.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
‘So much for giving her undisturbed sleep’ Hayden thought to himself as his hand slowly reached out towards her face.
His fingertips gently touched a strand of her loose hair. The softness of her hair against his fingertips felt pleasantly relaxing and before long, he wanted to touch more of her. An amused smile curved his lips as his fingers began tracing a line along the smooth skin of her cheek. Hayden paid extra attention to ensure that Malissa wouldn’t wake up. He wanted to see how much he could touch and play with her before she woke up. Suddenly, this became a fun little game and late-night entertainment to him.
His fingers dipped from her cheek down to her soft and sensual lips. Her lips were soft and warm against his fingertips as he stroked it gently. When his fingers slid down along the side of her neck, Malissa let out a small whimper that made Hayden pull his hand quickly away from her. Apart from the soft whimper, Malissa did not stir or show any signs of waking up.
Hayden continued with his advances by slowly pulling down the covers that was covering her chest and upper body. By this time his eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and he could make out more outlines of her body. He traced his hand softly from her shoulders down to her chest where his hand felt the texture of soft and thin lace.
Hayden smiled, knowing that Malissa was wearing one of the sexy nightgowns that he had prepared for her. He knew that it was quite mean for him to leave her with nothing to wear besides these for around a week, but he truly enjoyed watching her move about her activities with nothing but a short and revealing nightgown on.
His fingers traced around her breast and her breathing quickened. Malissa let out soft moans but did not wake up. When his fingertips brushed against her nipples through the thin lace fabric, she moaned a little louder while her nipples quickly hardened at his stimulating touch. Hayden knew where and how she liked to be touched and fondled.
Enjoying her reactions, Hayden slipped his hands under the thin lace of her nightgown to touch and fondle her breasts directly. Her skin felt slightly warm against his fingers and hands as he cupped her breasts softly. Malissa moaned and her body began to stir a little before settling down again. Hayden began groping and massaging her breasts gently before applying more pressure to his caresses. Malissa’s moans got louder, and her breathing started to become labored.
