By the time he came back upstairs she was kneeling with her knees on the floor, her head on the bed with the comforter covering her head and some part of her back.
He shook his head and understood clearly why she must be in that position. He was quite familiar with situations like this but it has been a long time since he attended to a woman that has had cramps since Daniella.
He wanted to ignore her and just go to work then focus on convincing Mr. Vimir to consider them even if he was to take part in just a little part of his upcoming project so he doesn’t have to relive the past again.
Thinking of her made him angry at women and he remembers his decision not to have anything to do with the female gender that would go beyond having a great time.
This was Audriana his wife, not Daniella his ex-fiancee. A woman who could talk to him in ways no one could and someone that sparks up an interest in him, someone who wonders every single time what was so different about her that made him want to be closer to her.
Like she was unique in her own way and always believe something could make a person special or unique but can’t decipher what it really is.
He shook his head again and put the tray on the table in front of the sofa then walked to her and placed his palm on her back.
She flinched and swung her hand backward but he was quick to have dodged her attack then held her palm and removed the comforter then pulled her towards him so she was looking up at him.
“Go away, you should be at work” she muttered angrily with that deep frown that was on her face when he left the room.
He didn’t answer her but put his hand under her armpit and pulled her up then made her lay on the bed.
“Nooooo! I was comfortable in my previous position” she cried and glared at him. “Why are you here disturbing me? Go to work and st-”
“The man who cared enough to get you some pain killers and juice to ease your cramps is disturbing you? The man who had to risk a very important meeting because he know how these cramps could be and wanted to help by being there with his wife to at least ease the pain in the way he could, is disturbing you?” he asked looking into her eyes.
“The man who wants to ask what you would like to eat and at least pa–” he paused, took in a deep breath, and let it out before continuing “pamper you at this time so you feel safer and better is disturbing you?” he asked then rose an eyebrow.
The frown on her face slowly dissolved when he said all that he just did, more like asked what he just asked.
She turned her head to look at the table that had the tray with juice and a tablet on it then turned to look at Dimitri who was standing in front of her while crossing his arms.
She really hopes he isn’t playing with her by being caring and all. He had shown some other times how caring he could be but she is trying to not let it get to her head so much so she doesn’t get burned when the realization finally kicks in.
He, Dimitri Lorenzo took the day off ‘even though it isn’t going to be fully for her’ but he decided to stay home so he could watch her since she was having period cramps and how did he know she had cramps?
She was very uncomfortable when she woke up early at 4:30 am but didn’t know she was on her period until she went to the bathroom to take a pee that was how she understood her discomfort.
When she had changed and freshened up she lay back down and felt a headache approaching but was too pained and a bit weak to travel all the way downstairs to get some pain relievers to ease it.
Was she that obvious she wasn’t okay that he noticed? How would he know she was having her period? Was he watching her closely? Or was it because she flipped up on him earlier?
When he stood up and left the room she thought he was already irritated when she angrily answered him and wanted to go to his study to work before leaving for work but now he came back and with some medications so she can be okay.
Did he want to pamper her? Ease her pain? Make her comfortable? Cook for her?
Her eyes widened when the words he spoke started registering in her head. He… really said those? He meant them?
She kept looking at him and frowned again.
“You–you are staying?” she asked pointing at him.
He rolled his eyes, moved a step closer, put one knee on the bed beside her leg and one hand beside her then did the others like that and made eye contact with her.
He saw her eyes wide open as she looked at him come closer to her. He put his arms above her head and moved so close, their nose was touching.
One of his arms went to caress her cheek, nose, shoulder down to her stomach then back up to her cheek before closing his eyes and laying his forehead against hers.
A gasp left her lips when he caressed her skin and another escaped when he leaned his forehead against hers.
Their heart was beating in the same rhythm but was clueless to that. Breaths fanning against each other faces and staying like that in silence.
After some time he opened his eyes and placed a kiss on her nose then leaned back with his arms still above her head.
She opened her eyes when he did so and took in a deep breath of air and slowly let it out.
“Are you feeling better now?” he asked and she nodded her head “Good, now come take those medications, I believe you are having a headache, right?” she nodded again like she was under a spell and had to say ‘Yes’ to her master.
“Okay, now let’s go get you something to eat before my meeting starts,” he said and stood up then offered her his arms for her to grab.
When she put her hand on his, he pulled her up to her feet and put his both hands on her hips drawing her closer to himself then engulfed her in a hug which she accepted gladly.
He was a magician then, how could he have made the pain ease up and also know about her having headaches with the cramps? Could be an experience with an old lover…
Thinking of that didn’t seem right because he didn’t look like one that has dated before due to his behavior and lifestyle. He could have but didn’t want to let anyone know about it.
She did feel better and was glad he was here and she was in his arms.
Damn, periods and a tiring week get him closer. Noted.
He pulled away from the hug and lead her to the sofa, made her sit down, and gave her the pain reliever and juice to take.
She took it from him, put the tablet in her mouth, and drank the juice while looking at him. Her heart warmed by his gestures and she wanted it to be like this for a long time.
“Okay, now that you have taken these, what do you crave for?” he asked rubbing his palms together.
“Hmm…” she put a finger on her twisted lip and looked up like she was thinking “Maybe a… err… bread? No… not bread… maki, California Maki.” she smiled at him and batted her lashes.
He had a blank look on his face as he stared at her. Looking away from her he sighed and looked back at her.
“Do not push me Loveth Lorenzo” he said softly “What do you want to eat?” he asked like he was asking a little girl who was asking for unnecessary things and couldn’t come to a conclusion as to what she wanted.
“Erm… pancakes and bread,” she said like a scolded child.
“Okay, come downstairs if you want them, I am not coming back upstairs aside coming to change for my meeting” he turned and head for the door then stopped and looked at her over his shoulder “Make sure to come with the tray,” he said and went out of the room.
“He is impossible, just when he is all sweet and all, his stupid attitude will ruin it all” she threw her hands up in the air and stood with the tray in hand, and went out of the room to the kitchen then.
