The Traps of Black Swan

'Angry man.' He didn't find his new nickname repulsive.

He was alone with her in the bedroom so fear is common. His lips arced slyly leaving her hand as he asked, walking towards her, "Fearing?"

He was expecting her to fear him and run away from there but Tia narrowed her eyes at her arm as she closely examined in her unclear gaze. 

She pointed where had held and screamed at him, "See, see, you hurt me." Then she gently blew her arm as though there was a stinging wound.

Dax's brows were twitching uncontrollably. Her skin hadn't even turned red by his hold and he couldn't find an ounce of fear staying in the same room as him.

Was she trusting him so much? He wasn't sure yet.

If he lets her play, it will be three o'clock soon so he scooped her up in his arms and she again screamed, "Don't throw me down, you angry man, let me down."

Dax felt his ear hurt by her screams. Unthinkingly he felt her sober state is cute. He laid her on the bed carefully and asked, "Did it hurt now?"

Tia shook her head liking the soft mattress. She grabbed herself a few pillows and sat up to pull the duvet on her. She again laid down before looking at wonderstruck Dax.

She sweetly asked, "May I sleep here?... Please."

Dax felt his hair raise due to her screams replaced with a saccharine tone. He felt himself going crazy if he stayed with her.

Hearing no response, she again asked, coating her tone with more honey and her head tilted, "Please…"

Dax almost choked on his spit and responded quickly, "Sure, sure… Sleep." He really wanted to know if she was so easy to fool in a drunken state that she got on the bed to sleep without any guard up.

He was sighing to himself when Tia tried to shoo him and her sweet voice changed to indifference, "Okay, go-go, let me rest."

Dax's brow raised and his lopsided smirk looked dangerous, "I guess, you are mistaken. You. Are. In. My bedroom. You are sleeping with ME."

Tia blinked repeatedly while looking at him walk around to the other end of the bed and he kept his mobile on the bedside table before he sat on the bed.

"You pervert angry man… Get off my bed." She screamed again wrapping the whole duvet around her and stood at the edge of the bed.

Dax: "..."

Tia saw him still sitting so she continued to yell at him afraid he was going to take advantage of her, "You stinking angry man, don't you have manners? Get out of my room... You black-hearted monster, don't you dare touch me, I know martial arts and kill…"

Dax found her behavior funny but didn't like her screaming so loud. He has to thank the regency owner for keeping each villa far from each other else he would be behind bars by this time.

He was also glad she pulled her guard up knowing he was sleeping in the same room. While she screamed, he wished her plainly, "Good night."

He laid down without the need of a duvet, he turned off the main light and turned on dim lights if in case she needed it. Placing his forearm on his forehead, he tried to catch some sleep but the thought of her staring at him kept him awake.

Tia watched Dax silently lying on the bed. She stopped screaming, discerning he won't do anything to her but was afraid he might be acting. Now he wasn't Dax or an angry man to her but just a man who she shouldn't sleep on the same bed.

Imagining he might attack her if she moved, she froze on the bed for a long time as her drowsiness slowly overtook her.

She felt her legs weak and sat down repeating herself she shouldn't sleep, 'No sleep… No sleep… No sleep…" She chanted groggily until her drowsiness overtook and she laid on the bed curled up into a ball.

Dax finally breathed a sigh of relief. He helped her lay on the bed straight and covered her duvet. He could feel her in deep slumber and checked time. 

"Damn" He hissed. It was five minutes to four. Deciding to sleep for three hours, he too laid down on the far end of the bed. 

Time ticked by and just when he went to deep sleep, 'Bang'

Dax jerked up in shock and pain. He rubbed his waist and was speechless seeing her sleeping in the most unladylike position. Probably the worst position he could ever expect a girl to sleep.

The pillow had fallen off the bed, her head was near the edge of the bed, her right leg was folded up and her left leg was next to him. Coming to her hands, her right-hand forearm was out of the bed and left hand thrown aside.

Are you thinking about where the duvet is? It is on the floor.

Dax peeked at her tilted head hoping nothing but her drooling face but it wasn't. She looked like she was in deep peaceful sleep.

He thanked the heavens for giving her brain to wear a pair of full pants and a completely covered top. Unwillingly, he steadied her on the bed, covered her in duvet before going to his corner of the bed.

He was yet to go back to sleep, 'Bang' It was harder than the previous one.

He wanted to pour a bucket of water on her but controlled. He breathed through his mouth to remain calm and checked the temperature of the room. 

The temperature was perfect for him, it might actually be colder for girls so the thought of her feeling high temperature ruled out. Anyway, he decreased her temperature hoping she will curl up in duvet and sleep.

He felt slightly cold but it was manageable so he again tried to sleep as it was already morning. He flipped around and hoped for a good nap.

He probably expected too much. Another flying kick didn't take too long to hit his left waist. "Damn you girl." He fumed.

He regretted bringing her to his room thinking his both friends will have sleepless nights. The thing he wanted to do after seeing Shawn was kicking his butt.

He didn't care to cover her and make sure about her comfort. He faced the other end, locking her right leg between his that had kicked him.

However, he didn't get sleep because his attention was on the girl behind him expecting her movements. He was delighted due to no movements and then tried to sleep, yet again.

Dax finally fell into a deep slumber. And Tia's dream continued. 

It was a nightmare with insects of the beautiful flowers. She was taking care of the flowers amidst numerous colorful flowers when very big insets started attacking the flowers.

They looked very ugly and hideous but Tia wasn't afraid.

An insect chewed of the beautiful flower in a go making her go red in anger. She tried to run towards it but another insect had clamped her right leg.

She screamed trying to pull her leg out but failed. She lifted her left leg and kicked the insect as hard as she could. The insect rolled away crying its eyes out.

Then she announced to all the insects, "I will kill you all." And started attacking with all her four limbs while the insects too countered her fiercely.
