He was jealous? Of what exactly?Laura thought, but the man had been smiling for almost five minutes, he hasn't answered her question."Are you gonna answer me it not?"She asked. But he still didn't say anything instead he started using his hands to drum on the table."Do you have a boyfriend Laura?"He asked casually,Oh, that how he is gonna play Laura thought, ignoring his question she went back into the kitchen to get the chocolate that Robert had made for her, she took a bit while walling back to the balcony,"Are you gonna answer my question?" He asked when she sat down opposite him."You didn't answer mine so why will I answer yours?"She asked and continued eating the chocolate pudding while looking at the view, the balcony is one of her favorite places in the house especially this particular one, the view was heavenly, there was a beach in the distance, tall trees arranged in a beautiful order could be seen. The view was breathtaking she wanted to explore all the areas sur
"She abandoned him,"That's the only reason he has not seen her for almost three hours, he had changed, hoping for the both of them to welcome Sus and her husband together, but she had been nowhere to be found. What kind of nurse abandons her patient?"The others are gonna come bug you in a few days I just came earlier since I have the opportunity now,"Susan disclosed."Thanks for coming Sus, Ben, I will be waiting for them." He said."You are welcome man," Ben replied."So, Dev, when are we meeting her?"Susan asked giving him a knowing look."What? I mean who are you talking about Sus?" He asked."I am talking about your lady," she said."What lady?""Your lady, the one who was sitting with you when we saw you earlier at the kitchen balcony,""Oh, you mean Laura, she is my nurse and she is somewhere in the house."He answered pointing towards the house. His supposed nurse who ran away, he went looking for her before he came to the palm house but he didn't find her anywhere."A nurs
"I will love it if we meet and hang out someday, Laura it was nice meeting you,"Susan said getting up from her seat and giving Laura a big hug."Me too Susan,"Laura replied hugging her close.She had a great time today, Susan was a whole mood. She is nice and made everyone around her feel welcome. Not just Susan her husband Ben was nice too he might be a quiet person like Laura but his smile and few words were enough for her to know he is a good person like his wife. They were two opposite people but they fit each other so well."Just like you and Devon," Came a thought in her head."Wow, calm down miss don't trade on dangerous grounds,"She mentally scolded herself.She has been doing too much with this kind of thought lately, reading too much into the things Devon did, like when he held her hands while she cried, or when he couldn't take his eyes off her when she had walked into the palm house. Which could get her in trouble, she should remember why she was here and who Devon is,
He was going to kiss her,He felt her breath and could already imagine the taste of plump lips against his own, she was breathing heavily, he slowed down purposely allowing her to pull away, but she didn't instead she closed her eyes as if she wanted it too which heightened his desire to kiss her."Laura," Murmured in warning, pulling her even closer that their nose was almost touching, he gently used the tip of his fingers to caress her lips, he moved close to claim her lip but the ring of the phone on the table made them both jump.She quickly stood up mumbled some words that he could make out and ran out of his room. He wanted to run after her but he remembered he didn't have legs that can move so he just sat trying to calm his own heart down and also the regret he could feel set in on him.He looked at the number on the screen and he wanted to scream at it, on one hand, he was glad for the distraction cuz he knew the call had not come at that moment he would have done something t
Laura tried hard not to think about what happened the previous evening, she kept herself busy through the rest of the day and avoided going into Devon's room as much as possible. The only time she went there was to give him his medicines and also when she went to check upon him.She knew she can't avoid him forever but she just couldn't face him now. Not like she was angry or anything, he didn't do anything wrong, just that she didn't know what to say to him. If his phone hadn't rung when it did they would have crossed the line,What had she been thinking? Obviously, he gave her a lot of time to pull away but she had chosen to stay and if the phone had not rung she would have let him kiss her, the fact that she was more disappointed that the kiss didn't happen than regret was the reason she was avoiding him.When she woke up this morning she had waited till it was time for him to eat and take his drugs before she had gone to his room when she had given him his drugs she had left immed
"Oh my God Devon, what happened? Are you okay?"Laura asked as soon as she entered Devon's room she felt stupid for asking him if he was okay cuz it was obvious that he wasn't. He was laying on the floor, his wheelchair halfway on top of him.She quickly ran to his side and removed the wheelchair, making him sit up on the floor."Hey, sorry, were you trying to get on the chair? Why didn't you call me to help you?""This is so embarrassing,"He responded by covering his face with his hands."Please I am gonna touch some part of your legs please tell me if you feel any pain,"She said kneeling beside him and examining his legs."Don't worry about it Laura nothing is broken, I fell on my boot,"He said, roving her hands from his leg."Still, I should check to be sure."She replied."Okay, nurse do your job,"He said, throwing his hand in the air in surrender."Don't you feel anything?"She asked when he didn't make any sound while she examined"I told you I fell on my boot, I was trying
"Oh, that's true, thanks Robert, sorry for disturbing you."She replied mentally cursing herself for not thinking about that."You are welcome Laura," He said and went on his way.She tried calling Devon but he didn't pick up, she didn't want to believe that he was purposely avoiding her call so she called him a couple of times more but he still didn't pick up so she called Mark instead and he picked on the first ring."Mark, where are you guys?"She asked as soon as he said hello, she didn't even bother to reply to his greeting, which she knew was rude but she was far too concerned about her patient's well-being to care about how rude she was if there is a rip or any sort of complications she has a lot to answer to. Even though Devon had not had any complications so far, it can't still be ruled out completely cuz they were still counting days after his surgery not weeks too early for him to be already up and about she hoped they didn't go far."Hey, Laura dear, sorry we didn't infor
"Did you guys fight? I don’t like the energy here and I feel you guys fought, did you?”Mark asked Devon while they sat in the palm house, He had asked him that question more than ten times now."Mark, I answered before, didn't I?""Yes you did but I don't believe you, so you better tell me what you did to her before she comes and tells me herself."Mark inquired."We didn't fight, I fell, she got angry and, Mark can you just stop asking me already I told you that I don't want to talk about it,"Devon said.He had told Mark before that they didn't fight but he kept asking over and over again making Devon angry."Wait you fell? How come? Are you feeling okay? Shouldn't we be headed to the hospital?"Mark said fusing over him like he was some child, Devon rolled his eyes at his behavior."Mark that was hours ago if I was injured like you feared I would already be in the hospital,"He said lifting his hands to make his point more clear."Aha, that's true, thank God you are okay, but that
