Capítulo 243: Sleep with me

"Awake?'' he whispered gently, his grip on her wrist tightened. 

Esme's eyes fluttered open. 

She blinked. 

Aleister gulped softly, ''Esme,'' he said her name with a hint of fear in his voice. 

Her silence was making him feel unnerved. 

[A/N: Karma is a bitch, Al. You used to unnerve her back in the Daven Castle during her earlier days there ;) ]

She did not forget him again now, did she? Aleister could not help but wonder.

Esme's gaze shifted from the chandelier hanging above her head. 

She glanced at him. 

Under her blank stare, Aleister pushed himself out of the bed. 

''Who am I, Esme?" he asked her carefully, still holding onto her hand. 

She can glare all she want but he badly needed her to glare at him. At least, that would make it certain that she did not forget him again. 

Aleister knew that it was absurd but at this point, he did not know where his fears were emerging from.
