REMOTE
She was able to breathe after Zachary placed her on the stool. Her gaze was drawn to Zachary as he opened the refrigerator and bent down as if looking for something. Zachary opened their kitchen cabinets for a few seconds before facing her as if he had a big problem.
“Do we have a big problem?”
Zachary’s handsome face indicated they would have a problem, so Samarra frowned at what he said to her.
“What exactly is it?”
“We’re almost out of stock.”
Samarra took a deep breath and considered what was happening before smiling and looking up at Zachary.
“We can buy,”
“How?”
“At the grocery store,”
“Yes, but there’s a problem.”
“Is there a problem?”
“Outside, it’s raining.”
Zachary’s relentless OA caused Samarra to injure her head.
“I call Mommy,” Zachary said as he was about to leave to get his cellphone, which Samarra abruptly stopped.
“Cadden, please relax. Okay! Let’s order some food and go grocery shopping tomorrow. You could even call Mommy Lorraine’s problem simple and embarrassing. Why does she have to look after our groceries?”
“So, what are we going to eat?”
“It’s up to you; after all, you came up with the idea for us to eat.”
Samarra moved into their living room, turning her back on Zachary. She wouldn’t have slept during those moments if he hadn’t woken her up.
When Zachary followed Samarra, he noticed how annoying she was in the living room and dropped her body on the long sofa. He wasn’t sure whether to laugh or be annoyed because SAmarra always made him think about what they would eat. Zachary sighed and took a seat next to Samarra.
“Here.”
Zachary tapped his thigh to inform Samarra that she could use his thigh as a pillow.
“Cadden,”
“Hmm?”
Zachary looked at Samarra and caressed her hair with one hand.
“Can you turn on the television?”
Zachary’s eyes immediately searched for where the remote had turned it on, and he frowned when he saw it was so close to Samarra’s feet.
“The remote is right at your feet, Ara. Get it.”
Zachary leaned back in his seat, taken aback by Samarra’s sudden movement beyond him.
“That’s it; you’re the one who’s getting closer to the remote.”
Zachary glanced at Samarra before shifting his gaze to the remote. He had only been blown into the air when he was forced to come and pick up the remote.
Zachary glanced at Samarra before shifting his gaze to the remote. He had only been blown into the air when he was forced to come over and pick up the remote.
“Oh, the closer you are, the further you move to make me the one who picks up the remote,” he said, handing Samarra the remote and smiling to the side.
“Cadden, I can’t get the television to turn on; could you please check that it’s plugged in?”
Zachary took a deep breath before turning to face Samarra. Is he unaware of Samarra’s trip? Why is she so bossy and orderly? Very commanding. Zachary shook his head as if he regretted not hiring a stay-in maid.
When Zachary saw it wasn’t, he immediately plugged it in and turned on the TV because he didn’t want Samarra to order him again.
“I’ll also turn it on for you, my dear wife. Will you order anything else, please? “Zachary remarked wryly.
“Why do you appear angry, love?” Samarra smiled as she looked at Zachary’s unmistakable expression; she didn’t seem to enjoy the sarcasm and order she was imposing on him.
“Me? No. Why should I be upset about your order?” As he turned to face Samarra, Zachary forced a smile.
“You’re cute.”
Samarra squeezed Zachary’s cheek tightly, and she could tell he was disgusted by his actions.
Zachary bit his lip to keep his smile from breaking out when Samarra squeezed his cheek.
“Cadden,”
“Hmm,”
“Cadden, please order our food. Let’s have a movie marathon.”
Zachary nodded and smiled at Samarra’s suggestion because they had nothing to do but watch. They were also unable to leave because of the heavy rain.
Zachary reached for their wireless phone in the living room. Zachary couldn’t help but notice Samarra lying on their long sofa while dialing. She curled up and drew the hem of her t-shirt up around her. He was perplexed; he was sure she was cold, but she refused to take a blanket to use it due to her laziness.
When Zachary finished ordering, he got up and went to their room to get some money.
“Where are you going, Cadden?”
“Upstairs.”
Samarra nodded and returned her gaze to what she was watching. When Zachary left, Samarra stood up when the gate buzzed. Because the phone had just hung up, she frowned. Zachary’s delivery cannot be made right away. Samarra could still swing the door open to see who was buzzing outside the gate on their small CCTV.
Because she couldn’t see the person’s face outside, she drowned.
He was dressed in a black raincoat and cap and slightly bent. Samarra became nervous, fearful that it would harm them.
“Love?”
“Oh, my goodness!”
When Samarra tapped Zachary on the shoulder, she was hit in the chest, and he seemed surprised at what she did.
“What’s the matter?”
Samarra could not speak as long as she pointed to the CCTV; despite his confusion, Zachary immediately followed Samarra’s instructions. He even frowned when he noticed someone standing in front of their gate. Because he was hunched over, he couldn’t see his face.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Go upstairs, and don’t come out until I say so.”
Samarra grabbed Zachary just as he was about to walk out the door.
“Wait, don’t come out; what if that person is bad?”
“Relax, that’s why I asked you to follow my orders. Suppose I am unable to return at any time. Call the police and security to come to our house.”
“What? I don’t think so. Let’s go upstairs and request that security come here.” Zachary ruffled Samarra’s hair and smiled.
“No bad people can get in here because security is tight, but I don’t want anything bad to happen to you, so go upstairs and lock the door.”
“No, I’m staying here.”
“Please, Ara. Do as I say?” Samarra sighed before softly nodding.
“Alright, go upstairs first.”
“Wait, you don’t have an umbrella; you might get wet.” Zachary smiled and hugged Samarra before kissing her on the brow.
“You’re worried about me too much,” he teased because it was clear from her actions that she did.”
“Cadden, please halt. It is not the time to tease me.”
Zachary smiled and pressed his cheek against Samarra.
“Rest assured that nothing bad will happen to us. And nothing bad will happen to you. So, go upstairs before I leave.”
Samarra sighed as if she had no choice in those circumstances. She didn’t want to leave Zachary, but he assured her that nothing would go wrong between them.
“Go upstairs. I’ll handle it.”
Because of what could happen to them, Samarra is unable to move.
“Cadden.”
Everything Samarra had to say was cut short when Zachary carried her up the stairs and began walking straight up. All she could do was cling to his neck and close her eyes tightly.
