Chapter78. Jealous lover
” It’s me Draco. Did you have a bad dream? Aren’t you feeling alright? ”
Liana sat up after seeing the harrowed look on Draco’s face following his weird question. She checked his head with the back of her hand, perhaps for fever, and then she checked the clock.
” Damn! it’s only four in the morning. I need to sleep a little more Darian. You too ho back to sleep. You will drop me to the campus, won’t you? ”
she asked, cuddling her way back into his lap.
“Campus? ”
Draco asked, his hands automatically patting her hair and stroking her back to sleep.
” Hhhmmm, I have my half yearly exams Draco. I don’t know what I will do. Did I even study for my papers? I don’t even remember. ”
she dozed off after mumbling the words, leaving Draco all alone once agin, with his thoughts.
The next day morning, they got ready a little earlier, dropping Damian off at Mystic Joe’s place.
That man had really dedicated his life to the dragons. He never complained even when Damian burnt most of the corners of his house.
” Walk me to the hall Draco. I feel so nervous! ‘
She grabbed onto his shirt.
” Alright! ” He agreed without any hesitation.
Liana was nervous as she walked into her medical college with her husband, by her side for the first time.
As soon as she entered the college, she could feel the eyes of everyone in the passage on her, and more specifically, on Draco. He was extremely handsome and had a magnetic presence that drew everyone’s attention.
“Who is he?” she heard someone whisper behind her. “Is he a model or something?”
Liana couldn’t help but smile at the attention Draco was getting. She had always known that he was handsome, but seeing him in the middle of a crowd of young girls made her feel proud and a little jealous.
As they walked towards the exam hall, Liana could feel the jealousy radiating from the girls around her. They were staring at her husband with longing eyes, and Liana knew that they were thinking about all the things they would do if they were in her place.
“Wow, this one is so handsome,” said one of her classmates, a pretty blonde girl named Rachel.
Liana forced a smile. “Thank you. This is my husband. His name is Draco. “she said, trying to sound nonchalant.
“He’s like a Greek god,” Rachel continued. “How did you manage to snag him?”
Liana laughed nervously. “I got lucky, I guess,” she said.
As they entered the hall, Liana could feel the eyes of everyone on them. The invigilator, a stern-looking man with a thick beard, looked at Draco suspiciously. “Who are you?” he asked.
“I’m Liana’s husband,” Draco said smoothly.
The invigilator looked at him for a moment and then nodded. “Alright, you can go in,” he said, opening the door for them.
Inside the hall, Liana could feel the tension mounting. She was nervous about the exams, but she was even more nervous about her husband being there. She knew that the other girls would be trying to gain his attention as she sat there writing on those stupid papers.
As she sat down on her seat, she could see the girls around her trying to get closer to Draco. They were laughing at each and every of his syllables and twirling their hair, trying to get his attention. Liana couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy as she watched them.
Draco, for his part, seemed completely oblivious to the attention he was getting. He was focused on his phone, scrolling through probably social media and occasionally glancing up at Liana with a smile.
Liana could feel the tension mounting. She could hear the girls around her giggling and whispering, and she knew that they were talking about her husband.
Draco looked up from his phone and smiled at her. “You will do great,” he said.
As they walked towards the exit, Liana could hear Rachel whispering behind her. “I wish I could have a husband like that,” she said.
Liana turned around and gave her a fake smile. “Sorry, he’s taken,” she said.
” How was the exam? ”
Draco asked after the hours had passed as he patiently waited outside for Liana to come out.
She did not miss the hovering girls in the campus, staring at Draco from afar.
” Let’s go grab a coffee. My head is still spiralling! ”
She pulled him away from their prying eyes. It seemed like the entire college was after her handsome husband.
Liana and Draco sat at the cafe with the cups in their hands. As they chatted and enjoyed their coffee, Liana noticed another group of girls staring at Draco from across the room.
“Uh-oh, looks like we have some admirers.”
She was getting really pissed at that point.
“What? Where?”
Draco asked smirking and feeling guilty at the same time.
“Over there. A group of girls keeps glancing over at you.”
Almost angry at Draco at this point.
“Oh, come on. You know you’re the only one for me.”
Draco could not contain his laughter.
Female attention was normal for him. But it seemed like Liana was having a hard time coping with that. They had hardly spent time outside together. Whenever they did, it was a family setting.
Never in a space filled with youngsters and singles.
Draco had that kind of a persona that could draw even a blind girl.
“I know, but they don’t know that. Let’s have a little fun with them.”
Liana suggested. But there was something up with the time of her voice.
“Okay, I’m all in. What’s the plan?” Draco looked very amused.
“Well, let’s pretend we’re newlyweds and just act super cute and lovey-dovey. That’ll make them think twice about trying to steal you away.”
Liana wasn’t playing any games at that point. She was trying to set the borders straight. She looked scary.
“I like it. Let’s do it.”
Draco winked as he said.
The girls approached their table, and Liana turned on the charm.
“Hi, we’re newlyweds. Can we help you with something?”
As stupid as that statement was, Liana could not be more in-your-face with her demeanor.
“Oh, sorry. We were just admiring your husband. He’s very handsome.”
The girl instantly regretted her decision to come and join them.
“Thank you, I know. But he’s all mine.”
Liana was glaring at her at that point of time.
It was not called giving a clue. She was internally yelling at her to get lost.
“Yep, I’m head over heels for my beautiful wife.”
Draco could not miss being part of the action.
“Oh, you’re so lucky to have such a gorgeous husband.”
Another one chirped from their table.
“Oh, I know. But he’s more than just a pretty face. He’s kind, funny, and smart too.”
Draco sat back enjoying all the compliments being hurled his way.
“Aw, thanks honey. You’re making me blush.”
He tried hiding his own face with his palm as he blew a flying kiss in Liana’s direction.
The girls started to back away slowly, realizing they weren’t going to get anywhere with Draco ultimately.
“Well, it was nice meeting you both. Congratulations on your marriage.”
The third girl bowed before heading back to the rest of their girl gang.
“Thank you. We’re very happy together.”
Liana grabbed Draco’s hand as she angrily tossed their cups into the dustbin.
” I wasn’t done… ”
Draco tried to protest but stopped as he observed the look of rage on her face.
” Let’s get back home. I don’t like too much time outside. ”
Liana burst.
“That was fun, wasn’t it? I think we scared them off.”
Draco tried to lighten her mood least she got over thinking again.
“Yeah, but it’s no surprise. Who could resist the love between us?”
Liana looked like she was scolding a two year old rather reassuring her own self.
“Exactly. We make a pretty great team.”
Draco leaned forward and kissed her on her head, ” You, me and Damian. ”
He thought that mentioning Damian might bring that sense of reassurance back in Liana and calm her nerves down.
