Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 165

Violet’s P.O.V.

I threw myself onto the bed on my stomach and closed my eyes. I was so tired of our activities the whole day long. It was really fun but it made me so tired that every muscle of my body was aching badly right now. Kyle asked me not to play with boys in the evening, but I ignored him and played with them, making me more tired than I was already. I was here to enjoy my vacation, but I forgot that I was still healing. My body was still weak, and I should have restrained myself from being involved in any hard physical activities like playing volleyball.

I felt a dip in the bed beside me but didn’t open my eyes as I knew who the person was who lay beside me now. “Tired?” I heard him ask me teasingly. I didn’t answer and kept my eyes closed. I heard him chuckle but didn’t react again. “Take some rest for a while, or take a nap if you want. I will wake you up for dinner,” he said to me in a gentle tone. I felt his hand on my head. He slowly stroked my head, and I scooted my tired body towards him. It took some effort, but I wanted him to comfort me right now.

He immediately wrapped his hand around my waist, and I did the same while burying my head inside his neck. He still smelled so good, although he was sweating hard when we stopped playing and decided to go back. He started massaging my back gently, making me m**n in delight. I felt a slight vibration in his chest that made me recall the memories of the past night. I felt my cheeks getting hot. It was good that my face was hidden inside his neck. He couldn’t see me blushing.

“The boys were thinking about barbeque tonight, but I asked them for tomorrow. We are planning to stay indoors tomorrow,” he said after some time in a gentle tone, still massaging my body lightly. “Okay,” I replied to him in a tired tone this time. “Did Ethan ask you anything?” he asked me in a low and gentle tone after some time. “Regarding what?” I asked him in the same tired tone. I didn’t want to say it, but the massage that he was giving me right now was comforting my aching muscles, and I felt like drifting off to sleep.

“Regarding last night,” he replied to me in a low and teasing tone, making me tighten my grip on his waist immediately. I immediately hit his back, making him laugh aloud. I hit him again but didn’t answer him. “I want to repeat that tonight,” he whispered in a raspy voice after some time, making me shudder under his touch. “But you are tired and already exhausted,” he continued in the same tone. I was now overwhelmed by his concern. “Stay in bed. I am going to fill the tub with warm water for you to take a bath. It will relieve your muscles, and you will get good sleep,” he said and tried to move away, but I immediately tightened my grip on his waist and scooted a little more towards him, closing the distance.

“Don’t go now. Stay with me,” I demanded in a low tone, still maintaining our position. He sighed and didn’t say anything again. I smiled and sighed in contentment. I didn’t know when I drifted into a deep sleep. When I woke up in the morning today, I was surprised to replace that I was completely clothed. I was really blessed with a caring boyfriend. I was also surprised because I really didn’t have any memory of when Kyle put clothes on my body again. It saved me from the embarrassment that I could have because it was Noah who woke me up for breakfast.

Last night was bliss for me. We were passionate, and at a point I felt that the control that I had over myself was slipping away. But Kyle said that he didn’t want our first like this. He said that he wanted to do something special that day or night…. It is really hard to resist yourself if you have someone as caring and loving as Kyle beside you. I don’t know where I got so much courage to take initiative to do those things, but I was happy. Kyle was right that we wouldn’t have this much spare time together after we returned. We had so many things to do after returning home.

“Violet…. Violet,” I heard someone calling my name in a gentle tone. I whined but didn’t open my eyes. “Violet…. Wake up,” I heard him calling me again. “Uhhhh… go away,” I whined again without opening my eyes. “Wake up, girl… I am not patient like Kyle,” I heard him threaten me this time. “I want to sleep, Ethan…. Go away,” I whined again and tried to remove his hand from my shoulder. “Yes… I know that…. But you can’t sleep on an empty stomach. You have to have your dinner…. Now be a good girl, and wake up,” he urged me in a gentle but firm tone.

I slowly opened my eyes and blinked to clear my vision. Ethan was now sitting beside me on the bed. “I am tired, Ethan…. My whole body is aching badly,” I complained in a tired tone and closed my eyes again. “Kyle will give you a good massage after dinner, and you will be better by morning, princess. You have to wake up and take a shower before coming to dinner,” he answered me in the same gentle tone. “He massaged my back earlier,” I told him without thinking anything, in the same tired and sleepy tone. “Violet,” he called my name in a stern tone.

I felt a headache due to his constant nagging. Why was it that they were not tired from the whole day-long activities while I was hell-tired and didn’t want to move even a finger right now? This was really unfair. “Okay…. Continue sleeping, but I am going to take you inside the bathroom for a bath. I am going to fill the tub with hot water for you,” he said after some time and I just hummed in the answer. He could do whatever he wanted to do—just stop nagging me to wake up. He removed his hand, and I once again pushed myself into my slumber. It is a saying that you should show your trust and sincerity in any relationship to earn trust and sincerity from the other person. You can’t just expect to get them from another person if you are now showing the same enthusiasm.

I was still not comfortable with the close proximity of other people around me, but I was very comfortable with these five boys in my life. They gave me a sense of security and a feeling of being loved now. I knew that every boy on the football team was also concerned and cared about me, but I was still not as comfortable with them as I was with Kyle and his friends. I got so many weird gazes today because I was the only girl in this group but they didn’t let me feel awkward at any point. Kyle was still glued to me like gum all day but he never stopped me from having fun with boys. I like his protectiveness because he never restricted my freedom.

“I am lifting you now,” I heard Ethan saying something to me again. I didn’t say anything to him in reply. He lifted me up in his embrace in bridal style. I snuggled into his chest and held his t-shirt lightly. I felt him walk away and sighed in defeat. He was really stubborn. I slowly opened my eyes again when he put me down on the toilet seat inside the washroom. “Remove your clothes and get inside the tub. I am sending Kyle to help you,” he instructed me, and my eyes widen immediately.

“No… I… I don’t need Kyle’s help. I will take a bath by myself,” I immediately yelled, making him flinch as I took him off guard. “Are you sure?” he asked me while raising his brows, and I immediately nodded, still looking at him with wide-opened eyes. He chuckled and shook his head, making my heart skip a beat in anticipation. Did he know what we did last night? Did Kyle tell them about that? “Don’t worry… he is not the kind of person who shares the details of his time spent with his girlfriend with his friends,” he said in a teasing tone, and winked in the end mischievously, making me turn crimson red in embarrassment.

I immediately averted my gaze in the other direction while biting my lower l*p furiously. He laughed and gently patted the top of my head. “Are you happy with him, Violet?” he asked me after some time in a light tone. I lowered my head but nodded in agreement. “Don’t feel embarrassed, princess. You did nothing wrong. You two are in love, and …. And it’s… it’s understandable that …. That,” he paused and took a deep breath. “Forget it… it’s really hard to have this conversation with your sister,” he said annoyingly, making me smile, but I was still embarrassed. I didn’t look at him.

“I am going out now. I am still sending him here because I don’t want you to drown in the bathtub. You are still sleepy,” he continued, and then walked out of the washroom. I took a breath of relief and shrank my nose, still blushing harder. I couldn’t talk about those things with anyone, let alone with Ethan, who was now a brother figure to me. It was really awkward, but I was really happy that I had someone so understanding beside me now. I slowly stood up and removed my clothes. I cringed when the smell of sweat hit my nose. No wonder they were urging me to take a bath. I was stinking so badly.

I touched the water with my toe to get the temperature. The water was warm. I entered the bathtub and m****d aloud when the warmth of the water hit my muscles, making me feel relieved. The weather was hot here, but I really needed this bath. I put the back of my head on the edge of the bathtub. I g*****d in frustration when I realized that I forgot to cover my head. I still needed to keep my head from getting wet. At the same time, the door of the washroom opened, and I saw Kyle coming inside. I immediately dragged my knees to my chest, as I was completely naked inside the water.

“I talked with the doctor, and he said that you should wash your hair if you sweat so much,” he said while walking towards the shelf. “Can I?” I asked him, and he nodded. “He gave me some instructions about taking some precautions around the stitches,” he answered, and I was now eager to wash my hair. He took the bottle of shampoo and soap from the shelf and came near to me.

He sat down on the floor near the bathtub and looked at me lovingly. “I am going to wash my hair. Just relax and close your eyes,” he asked me, and I nodded while smiling shyly. He then signalled me to move a little towards him so that he could get comfortable access to my head. I moved my head towards him, and put my forehead on the edge of the bathtub, still hugging my knees. “I am going to remove the bandage now. Noah and Dustin went out to get the fresh bandages and ointment to cover your stitches after bath,” he told me, making me hum again in reply.

He slowly removed the bandages, and I slowly opened my eyes when I didn’t feel his hand on my head, nor did he make any sound. I looked at him in confusion. “What happened?” I asked him out of concern. His jaw was clenched, and he was staring at my head blankly. “Is it really bad?” I asked him worriedly when he didn’t answer me. He sighed and looked at me with a gentle gaze. “No, my love… everything is okay,” he answered, but I didn’t buy it. I didn’t know how many stitches I got an idea that it was pretty bad. “Close your eyes and let me finish the task,” he said while removing his t-shirt. I didn’t ask him anything and closed my eyes.

I asked a nurse in the hospital if they removed my hair before the surgery when I was there. She told me that they had to for the surgery, and it was a pretty wide area at the back of my head. My whole head was covered in a bandage, which restricted me from seeing the place by myself in the mirror. Still, I had an idea that it was a wide area. Would I get my hair back there? I didn’t want to be half bald. Kyle gently washed my hair, and I could say that he was cautious all the time. After finishing washing my hair, he gave me the soap to wash myself and wrapped a towel around my head. He asked me to finish my bath and instructed me not to remove the towel as the water in my hair could wet the area of the stitches. He went out and closed the door again.

I was tempted to see that place but decided not to go against his words. I finished my bath and went out of the bathtub when the water became cold. I took a quick shower to wash myself completely. I walked to the shelf and took a dry towel to wipe my body. I looked at my reflection in the mirror while wrapping a towel around my chest and looking at my wrapped head. I was still tempted and contemplating what to do now. I flinched when the door opened again. I gripped the towel on my chest tightly but relaxed immediately when I saw Kyle coming inside. He had my clothes in his hands.

“Let me put your t-shirt on you, and then I will go outside,” he said, and I lowered my head again while curling my toes. He saw me naked last night, but I was still not comfortable being naked in front of him like this. I heard him chuckle but didn’t lift my head up. “Don’t worry, princess. I will not see your body unless you ask me,” he said in a teasing tone, making me blush harder. He chuckled again. “I am going to remove the towel from your head,” he said in a gentle and low tone. I was still holding the towel on my chest. He slowly moved me towards him, with my back towards the mirror. It was clear that he didn’t want me to see my reflection.

He helped me put on my T-shirt without touching my head. “I am waiting for you out,” he said after that and I nodded without looking at him. I waited for him to go out before slumping my shoulders. I immediately removed the towel as it was still around my chest inside the t-shirt, and put on my panties first. The temptation to see back was so strong that I felt it impossible to resist. I decided to have a peek only. I slowly looked back and for a few seconds, my heart stopped beating when I saw half of the back of my head.
