Chapter 49: Teddy Bear
Chapter 49: Teddy Bear
"Where have you been?" Craig asked me when I came back from the restroom.
"I just went from the restroom." I said taking my seat next to him. "Daniel called me."
"Really? What did he say?"
"He wants me to go home." I shrugged.
He looked at me as if I was joking.
"He wants you to what?"
"He wants me to go home."
Then he chuckled and bring his drinks to his mouth.
"Wow! So he's now acting a real husband to you, girl."
I rolled my eyes when he teased me but I didn't comment and drank the remaining content on my
glass.
We returned to the dance floor after our shots and we immersed ourselves in the blaring and
penetrating music inside the club. And because of the effects of alcohol and my love of dance, Daniel's
threat has completely vanished in my mind.
We continued dancing until I felt the two strong arms that suddenly grabbed me and threw me over his
shoulder. I screamed in shock but when I smelled his perfume, I didn't have to ask who he was.
"Oh, my God!" I heard Craig's voice from behind and the gasped of everyone else around.
"Let's go home!"
I gasped when he tightened his hold on me as he started walking towards the exit.
"Forgodsake! Put me down, Daniel Kelley!" I said through gritted teeth while trying to struggle in his
hold.
"No! I told you to go home but you didn't listen to me!"
"I don't want to go home, I've told you that on the phone!" but he just ignored me by talking to my
bodyguard.
"Ben, get her car! We are now going home!"
"Yes, Sir."
My eyes widened when I saw everyone was staring at us while he's walking towards the parking lot.
"Put me down, Daniel Kelley! Everyone is staring at us!"
"The hell I care! They can stare all they want but I don't fucking care!"
"But I care, so put me down and let me go back inside the club!" I gripped his shirt as I felt the
dizziness surged in me.
"No, you're not going back to that club ever!" I heard the opening of the car door.
"And who are you to tell me what to do or not? This is my life, you son of a-----"
"Don't you dare finish that word, Sophia!"
"Agg!" I screamed again when he literally threw me inside the car. "What the hell? Why did you that?" I
asked glaring at him? He sat down next to me in the backseat.
"Erwin, let's go!"
"No! I won't go with you!" I tried to open the door on my side but it's locked. "Argh! You're a sick
bastard!"
"Stop struggling because whatever you do, I won't let you go back to that bar! And if you try, I swear,
Sophia, I'll make sure they close as soon as you've stepped inside!"
A loud gasp escaped through my lips. He can't do that!
"You can't do that!"
My eyes turned like saucers but he smirked.
"Go ahead and try it, but don't blame me if you'll find out that they've already closed!"
"Argh! Why are you doing this? This is my personal life so you shouldn't care about it!"
I stopped from opening the door but I continued to glare at him.
"Really? Well, for your information Sophia Kelley, since you married me, I have the right to intervene in
you and in your life."
"Maybe you forgot Mr. Kelley, what we talked about was just pretending to be married in public, but we
wouldn't interfere with each other lives!"
"Then forget what we talked about before, because I have already changed them!"
I was shocked that I can only stare on his face.
"You can't do that!" I said when I find my words again.
"I did, sweetheart."
"Why are you doing this?"
"Because I am your husband."
"You're not my husband Daniel, we're just----"
"I'm your husband, Sophia! You married me and we didn't sign any documents for an agreement, those
were just verbal agreement, so I can change them whenever I want."
"You're such a jerk and a sick bastard, do you know that?" I screamed forming my fists when I realized
what he said was right. We didn't sign any documents that will prove our agreement.
"Ohh, I know, sweetheart."
I didn't say anything after that. I simply leaned against my seat, balling my fists hard until my nails dig
into my both palms. I was too consumed with my anger and irritation that I didn't notice the pain from it.
I remained silent all the way to his house until tiredness and drowsiness settled in my system. I closed
my eyes to take a nap and promised myself to wake up when we arrived. But that promised was
completely vanished when my nap turned into a deep slumber.

Deep in my sleep, I dreamed. I heard his voice before I could feel myself being lifted from my seat. I'm
not sure if it's just a dream or it's really happening. I could hear their conversation, I could feel his arms
around me and I could hear the loud beating of his heart against my face.
"Oh! What happened to your wife, Anak? I thought she said she's not going home tonight?"
I know that voice. That's Nanay Emily.
"I picked her up. She's drunk, Nanay Emily."
How dare him told her that I'm drunk? I'm not drunk!
"But why did she do that? Is she okay?"
"Don't worry about her, she's okay."
The next moment I knew, I was in a soft and huge bed. I could feel something heavy over my stomach
and a warm and huge stuffed toy lying next to me. I think it's a teddy bear. It feels so soft and
comfortable so I leaned myself and hugged it tightly against my body.
Why didn't I think to buy a big stuffed toy before? If I had known how comfortable it was to hug a huge
teddy bear in my bed, I would have bought a lot of them.
"Hmm.." I moaned pressing body more to its neck.
"Shhh.."
I frowned mentally when I heard it speak.
"You're talking?" I asked, amazed.
I am still dreaming or I'm still drunk?
"Yes, I'm talking, sweetheart."
"Wow! I can't believe it, you're also calling me sweetheart." I murmured against its neck.
Now I'm really sure that I'm just dreaming. Since when a teddy bear learned to speak?
I felt its chest vibrates by a small chuckle.
"Shhh.. go back to sleep, sweetheart, it's still dark outside."
"Hmm... okay." I said sniffing its neck, and I smiled when I smelled the familiar scent of my husband. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
"You smell so good, teddy bear. Did you use my husband's perfume?"
Few seconds passed before I heard his voice again.
"Yes, I used your husband's perfume earlier."
I giggled when I heard his answer.
"Why are you laughing?" Teddy Bear asked me.
"Nothing, I just don't think he might like the idea of someone using his personal things." I giggled
again.
"I don't think so. But don't you think he might get jealous when he finds out that your hugging someone
in your sleep?"
"But you're not a human, you're a Teddy bear."
"Yeah, but I'm a guy, a guy Teddy bear."
"But still you're just a stuffed toy, so there's nothing wrong with hugging you. And don't mind him, he's
already asleep."
I felt his chest vibrates again before I felt a pair of warm lips on my forehead and my body was pulled
against his soft and comfortable body.
"Did you just kiss me?" I asked confused as to why a teddy bear can kiss.
"Yes, I have just kissed you, so go back to sleep, Sophia."
"Ohh, you also know my name?"
"Of course, I know your name, silly."
I really wanted to ask Teddy a lot of questions but he pulled me closer and wrapped his arms around
me.
"Goodnight, sweetheart." He said kissing the top of my head.
"Goodnight, Teddy Bear."
I don't know how long we talked, but there were things I remember, the feeling of being in his arms, the
warmth of his body, his warm breath that hits my skin and his strong heartbeat as if it were music to my
ears and gave me a peaceful sleep that night.
