Chapter 252: Found (1)
"Annalise."
Annalise tried to find a spare pillow to cover her head with so she wouldn’t have to listen to the person calling her name. She was still tired and needed a bit more sleep before she would need to wake up to tend to Rafael.
"Annalise, you need to wake up unless you want my mother to find you here."
Annalise opened her eyes, now remembering that she was not inside the room assigned to her and that she was to wake up before Beatrice or the servants found her in Rafael’s room or coming out of it.
Annalise closed her eyes and used her hands to rub her face to help rid the sleepiness and get rid of her blurry vision. "Did I sleep too long?" She asked, opening her eyes to look out the window.
There was light out, but the sun was still making its appearance in the sky so it was early. The only people awake had to be the servants arriving to be on time helping to serve breakfast and doing early cleaning.
"No," Rafael answered.
Annalise sat up to get a better look at Rafael. He sat at the small table instead of lying on the bed with her. "The better question would be if you slept last night. You said you sometimes can’t sleep."
"I didn’t get to sleep a wink last night because a pretty woman was in my arms last night," Rafael replied, catching the pillow thrown at him. Sleeping next to her was a new kind of torture. One he wouldn’t mind his enemies doing to him if they were to ever capture him.
