Chapter 383 - Darling! stop stealing my lines(2)

Thinking he would think her as childish, she was yanking her hair and screaming in her mind.

"Shall I?" Arlo pointed her balcony and asked.

Sky didn't see his hand and thought he was asking permission to overhear. "What! Who asks... permission..."

Arlo kept his leg on the window frame and jumped to her balcony beautifully leaving her at loss of words. She sat up properly and looked at him. "Why aren't you sleeping? Are you here to make fun of me as a cry baby?"

Sam understood Arlo was there hence he closed the window and curtains before going to bed.

Arlo ignored her and took a thermos flask from his room window. He poured some to her. She helplessly took it, "Are you planning to addict me to milk?" It was at the right temperature hence she drank in a go and waved at him. "Go and sleep. It's late. The door is over there."

Arlo ignored what she said and asked, "Can I use the washroom?"

"I thought all rooms have attached washroom" Sky mumbled to herself and nodded at him.

She played soft music on her mobile and waited for him to leave before going to sleep. But Arlo came out with a wet towel.

When Sky saw him coming towards her, she asked, "Why did you bring this?"

Arlo came in front of her. Sky started moving back, "Arlo, What are you doing?"

Arlo shook his head and sat next to her to wipe her face. Sky left her mobile and held the cloth, "I can do it." He handed it and sat quietly.

Sky started to dab lightly her face eyeing him. "Why do you seem very experienced in taking care of people? Were you a nurse too?"

'This girl!'

He can't help it but pinch her cheeks. "I wasn't a nurse. I take care of my grandmother, so I know."

Her soft cheeks turned red instantly. He wanted to continue pinching her soft skin but he stopped hearing her.

"Ahhh! It hurts." She rubbed her cheeks with the other hand.

"Look at you! You still say, you know to do." Arlo saw her right-hand stationery and took the cloth.

After folding it another side, he held her chin and started wiping her face. Seeing her widen her eyes at him, he gulped his saliva, "Close your eyes."

She closed it right away. Arlo shook his head resignedly and understood why she said she was ' annoyingly obedient ' to him.

His lips tilted up as he wiped her face as slow as possible. He felt envious of the towel which was brushing her spotless, clear, soft skin. There wasn't even a single pore on her face.

May be due to no makeup products, her skin was very tender and supple. Feeling his body growing hot, he left her and stood up in a jerk.

"Done?... Thank you!" Sky said calmly not noticing his abrupt behavior.

"I will just come." He dashed towards the washroom.

Arlo saw himself in the mirror and chided himself. Sky was sleeping peacefully on the swing when he came out after cleaning the towel. Since the dry wind was high, Arlo decided to bring her inside the room. He gently scooped her in his arms and moved in.

Due to his movements, the silk nightdress wrap slipped down her shoulder revealing her soft fair skin. Due to warmness, Sky snuggled in his arms causing him to stop in his tracks.

'What a seductress!'

He laid her down on the bed and covered with a blanket. After lightly pecking on her forehead, he went to the kitchen to keep the thermos flask. When returning to his room, living room lights suddenly turned on with a voice, "How about a small talk President Smith?"

Joe walked towards the couch as his voice carried a hint of dominance and authority. He had asked people to check Arlo's background and got to know about his true identity. After knowing Sky had no idea about his real identity and David and others knew it, he decided to talk.

The gentle smile and softness on Arlo's face instantly disappeared. The air around him turned cold. The charming, polite and chivalrous man was now back to arrogant, beguiling, aloof President with a hint of laziness.

Joe smirked and crossed his legs while sitting giving ' I'm the boss ' kind of air around him. Arlo walked to the sofa at leisure. He sat in front of Joe and yawned looking too lazy.

His way of arrogance irked Joe. "What are your intentions to be around my little sister?"

There wasn't a hint of emotion in Arlo's voice as he replied unhurriedly. "I thought you are a smart man."

"I will never let you play with her." Joe was on his big brother role because it's known that most of the rich heir play around. There was time, he had many girlfriends and breakups.

"I'm not here to play either." His sense of superiority would be with everyone other than his queen.

"There's more to being a king than getting your way all the time." Joe didn't like the fact that he was hiding his identity.

"I'm just leading the way. Following me will be is her choice." His solicitude towards Sky was evident.

"Then are you scared to let the other kings near her?" Kris was in contact with Joe and the latter guessed the issues in Kris international were related to Arlo.

"If your other king is incapable of handling, He isn't even fit to be with Sky."

' Kris and Joe were childhood friends ', was old news to Arlo. He even knew Joe was supporting the former.

"Ahem, Ahem... If you don't mind, Are you two talking about Sky and my brother?"

Within short silence, Ryan who was spying coughed to get attention and asked. He hadn't heard their initial conversation hence he asked without understanding it.

Joe gave an 'I'll be watching you' look to Arlo and went to his room.

Ryan jumped from the stairs, "What happened?"

Arlo rolled his eyes and went to his room after checking on Sky.

Sky woke up hearing birds chirping. After brushing, she went jogging on the beach. Keeping her target as 3 miles, she paced to and fro on the beach.

Since she was wearing headphones, she didn't hear anything. She suddenly felt a hand holding on her shoulder and she shouted as she turned. "Ahhhhhhhh!"
