My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

I got a new set of clothes and went into the bathroom to clean myself. My pajama pants and underwear had gotten stained, and it wasn't just a small stain.

Coming out of the bathroom, I saw Hendrix tidying the bed. The bedsheets had been changed; the mattress was waterproof, so just wiping was enough to clean it.

The sheets that were heavily blood-stained were changed and new bedsheets were put onto the bed.

When I saw him reaching for the bedsheets on the carpet, I reflexively went ahead before him and took the sheets. It was difficult hiding the awkwardness on my face. "I'll do it!"

He frowned, a strange look casted over his handsome face. "It's cold out; I'll take care of it."

"No... no need!" No matter how intimate our relationship was, it still felt inappropriate for someone else to do this.

His face turned slightly grim. When he turned to look at me, his brows relaxed as he said, "Be good, and listen to me. I'll wash it!"

I was about to refuse again, but he had already taken the sheets away.
