John woke up in the room two hours later. He was still tired but he wouldn't faint again for the time being.
"Ugh," he rubbed his eyes before remembering that he was with Viviane when he fell unconscious.
He rushed downstairs in a hurry. He found her in the kitchen cooking and didn't disturb her.
"I'll be done in a moment John," she said without turning her back
"Alright," he replied before walking to the couch.
He took a short nap before finding her putting food on the table. He walked over silently. She seemed pretty satisfied with her work. He wrapped his arms around her waist.
"John?" she asked
"The food looks nice" he complimented
"No thanks to you" She rolled her eyes "I keep eating plain food when I'm with you, so I must learn how to cook for myself"
"Sorry" He apologized
"I know," she said "Let's eat"
He removed his hands and let her sit down before he sat down next to her.
"You know, you could've told me" She muttered
"What?" he asked
"You fool, you didn't need to keep everything to yourself," She said angrily
"If it can keep you happy, I don't mind" he replied gently
"This is why I hate you" A drop of tear fell onto her hands "I really hate you for that"
"It's alright," he sighed "I'm always here to shoulder all your problems for you. It's my responsibility to protect you"
"Fool, I'm not asking you to protect me" She cried in his arms "I really don't like it when you don't tell me anything when you are suffering"
He gently stroked the back of her head "It's alright, it really doesn't matter as long as you don't leave me"
"I won't," she said "I'm staying here with you from now on"
"You..." He tried to reason with her
"Don't push me away, I already know how much you wanted to see me after I left you" She gently said as she moved her head to look at him. "If you really want me to stay with you, just say it and I will stay here with you forever"
"Silly girl, as long as you come to visit me once and a while, it doesn't matter" He smiled "Let's eat, the food is going to be cold"
She nodded and began to eat after she got out of John's arms. She would glance at John once and a while, he smiled seeing that but didn't do anything.
As soon as they were done eating, she took a shower with him. She allowed him to help her wash and he didn't do anything other than showering. When he was done she wanted to help him. He didn't let her as he was afraid that his hormones would act up once she touched him. She refused to take no for an answer and did it anyway. She started washing his body and he didn't stop her since he wasn't sure if he would accidentally hurt her. Eventually, she caused him to have an erection when she tried washing it. She blushed when she felt it growing in her hands.
"I forgot how big it could get" she shuddered at the thought of having that thing go inside her again. Even after sleeping with him so many times, she still couldn't get used to that thing being thrust inside of her. She bore through with it in order to satisfy her and John's desire for each other but it really wasn't comfortable for her.
"You can stop here," he said "Any more and I really might do you here and now"
She could see him restraining herself and felt guilty yet also had conflicting thoughts on if she should stop or allow him to do her. In the end, she decided to stop as she felt that John would be too tired to do anything. She quickly left and John sighed in relief.
"What am I going to do with you?" he smiled wryly as she closed the door.
He got out of the shower after washing it and walked into her getting dressed. He got rid of all the thoughts as he saw her being dressed and went to dry his hair. When he was done he helped her dry her hair.
"You should sleep," she said as she remembered Jarvis saying that she is the only one who could tell him what to do when she was cooking earlier
"As you ordered" he smiled but stayed to help her dry her hair.
"Sleep" she ordered as she dragged him onto the bed once they are done.
"Alright" He smiled before closing his eyes
She stayed with him until she was sure he fell asleep. She stared at his face for a while and give him a light peck on the cheeks before she got up and left the room.
"Jarvis"
[Yes, madam?]
"Can you show me what John had been up to while I was gone?"
[It would be my pleasure, madam]
"Thank you"
She walked towards the basement where John hid all the high-tech equipment at. She opened the door like how he had taught her and walked down the stairs.
[Madam, there should be a holo computer in the room to the left]
"Thank you, Jarvis"
[It would be my pleasure, Madam]
She walked into the room like Jarvis told her.
"How do you operate this?" She asked as it seemed to be more advanced than the last time she came
[Simply swipe the table madam]
She did that and a holographic keyboard popped up. She was amazed at the technology that John had hidden and continued to look for the files he kept.
[I have updated the madam's clearance to the highest level, you can freely check out any confidential data besides the forbidden file]
She began to look through the technology he created and was even more amazed at how advanced it is. She didn't understand the technical data but she could understand the functions. All sorts of weapons, projects, and prototype blueprints were placed inside.
[Madam what you may be looking for is in the very last file I have composed for you]
"What is it?"
[Please watch it madam as it is related to the sir]
She opened it and her eyes went wide. It was all the recordings Jarvis had taken during John's research, training, and even what he did while she was away. She could see him getting injured every time something went wrong while creating the technology. She started crying when she finished. She found that John had actually taken sleeping pills every three days to sleep properly.
"Do I really have that much of an impact on him?" she couldn't help but ask
[Yes, madam. You are the only one closest to the sir besides his parents]
"Why did you show me this?"
[One of my protocols are to protect you and the sir, deeming that the sir's life is in danger if this continues, I can only show you and ask that you help him]
She cried, feeling guilty that she was the one who caused him to be like this. He tolerated her every time yet she caused him to fall into severe depression and stress. He didn't show it when she was around but she could feel his pain through the video. She hated herself for not noticing his mental state, she should have helped him and be there for him. Instead, she left when she left a deep mark on his life. It made her realize that he is someone that had a lot of tolerance for her and would lock away how he truly felt deep inside in order to make her happy. She immediately returned upstairs and laid in his arms quietly, waiting for him to wake up to see her. She felt that it's her turn to comfort him.
