Chapter 165: Chapter 165
Dante didn't spend the night in same room with her, he noticed that Barbara isn't comfortable with him in same room, he was using the room opposite her.
In the middle of the night, Barbara was waken with the roaring sound of thunder and lightening. She sit on the bed, hugging her knee with her hands shaken.
She could hear the rackety of the malevolent thunder.
Please stop it! She closed her ears as she try to block her ear from the roaring sound.
***Boom***
Stop! I beg you stop it! God please stop it! She had a silent prayer, the sight of cockroaches and thunder is one thing, she can't stop been scared of. Her greatest fear is thunder and lightening. If she was scare of cockroaches, thundering, make her have nervous breakdown.
She couldn't move her hand, fear had taken the better part of her. She couldn't lift up her hand.
***Boom***
Fear had taken the better part of her and to think that the place is dark, she try to find the switch of the light before another loud roar comes up.
***Boom****
Where thou heck is the damn switch? She curse, she realized that, Dante is at the other room, instead of suffering here, she gather her courage and decided to go to Dante, she could run before another loud one comes up. She jumped out of the room and run to Dante, she hit on his door. Open up, please! Please! It's so loud I can't take it. She mumbled as she keeps hitting the door.
What is... She jumped on him, as soon as the door open, before he say anything, the young lady cling on him burying her face on his neck. Babs! What is it? What happened? He asked as he lift her face, carrying her into the room and place her on his bed.
Dante place her gently on the bed, he was about to leave, when Barbara held his hand. Don't leave, please! I am scared...
He could feel her tense body, he remembers that, Barbara is scared of thunder as well
*Boom*
She will hugged him tight whenever she heard the roaring of the thunder, he bury her face on his bare chest like she want to hide in him.
I don't like it... She is astraphobia, phobia for thunder and lightening, ever since she is a kid, all thanks to Camilla Kyle that keeps pushing her outside whenever it's raining
Whenever it's raining, I always see a little girl, she keeps crying for help, it's feels like the thunder is going to crush her, it's going to eat her, everytime I see her, I felt like I am the one and it's really scared, I can't be alone without anyone, when there is a thunderstorm, most times, Jeff is always there with me or... As she explained her breath wasn't stable, Dante keeps running his hand on her back
"You should relax, try to stable your breath, I am here now and nothing will happen to you and thunderstorm doesn't eat anyone, it's just the crying sky, they cry too like we humans. Even when I cry it's loud"
He fake his tears, increasing his voice acting like he is crying, Barbara hit his chest as she chuckled, he too breath out, at least, he is able to calm her.
He felt sorry for his love, she had gone through alot of trauma in her early age and to think that she doesn't know the little girl that she always see in her imagination
You are safe now and know that I will always be here for you, I will never leave you.
can you sing for me? Dante pinned his lips. Go on! He had no choice than to sing, he was singing Love Is Gone by SLANDER she raised her head and look at him.
Why are you singing that song? She murmured even though she is feeling sleepy already
I want to express myself with that song, You should trust me... His voice were like music to her, he is talking now but she felt like he is singing.
Shut up! I am feeling sleepy, it's only for today, I am still very much mad at you and I am not forgiving you yet...
Dante smiled, she is going to forgive him. She said yet, which means she will forgive me. He said mentally, when another thunder roar, she didn't move, it only means she is sleeping already. He could feel that she is in deep sleep now, with the way her breath keep going up and down.
He was about going to bed when he heard the tap on his door follow by Barbara's voice, opening the door, he could see the fear In the woman he loves eyes.
Earlier he wanted to spend the night in same room with Barbara but he felt that she will scold him non-stop, so he decided to have two separate room, he really want to cuddle his wife but that would not be possible the woman is wild but now, nature an made it possible for his wish to come through.
He is going to help her, help her overcome all the fear in her live, he wants to replace all those bad memories, he really don't want to see that worry look in her eyes anymore.
He was glad that his love is finally able to sleep even with the endless down pour accompany with thunder and lightening. Although cuddling her is like torture for him, he prefers to endure the torture for him to leave his love all alone with those pain with no one to share it with her.
Something else he thought of doing as soon he get home is to soundproof everywhere and thunder resistance will be installed in the building as well
He look at his lovely wife that her hand is around his waist, now sleeping peacefully. I missed you, I will wait till you are ready to take me back, you should know this man have no one to accept him, if you leave him.
He press soft kisses on his lovely wife forehead, then get off the bed, he had so many things to fixed.
