Daniel slowly opened his eyes as he looked around and he saw Kathryn opening a cupboard and keeping clothes. When he saw that she was turning to him, he immediately closed his eyes. He wanted to know how she’d been treating him the whole time he was unconscious.
She walked to the bed and sat beside him before putting a towel in a bowl and then squeezing the water out before putting it on his forehead. She did it so carefully like she was his wife and he couldn’t help but smile. Despite being such a talented assassin and goon, he’d hands still felt so delicate when they touched his forehead and it was when he smiled that she realized that he had regained consciousness.
“Daniel?” She called like a mother would call a child she’d just caught stealing ice cream in the middle of then night.
He slowly opened his eyes with a smile on his face and as he tried to get up, she put her hand behind him before putting a pillow so he could sit well. He saw that an IV drip had been connected to him and his arm had been bandaged and his head and every part of his body that was injured had been treated. He smiled to himself, she didn’t even need to make him fall for her because he was already falling for her with the way she took so much care of him.
“You are awake now” she said excitedly and she was so excited that she pulled him in for an embrace and put her hand around him. He smiled, she smelt so nice and she smelt like flowers that had been plucked so early in the morning. He smiled to himself before using his other hand to hug her back.
She closed her eyes, his body felt so muscular and warm and the hug felt like heaven. It felt like she should never let go or break off from the hug and she closed her eyes and it was when she closed her eyes that she remembered who she was but it didn’t stop her, remembering her place didn’t make her break off the hug because she’d remembered that he said she should make him fall for her and perhaps this hug was going to work some magic for her. He raised his hand and patted her head and she felt so special.
Even he felt the sparks from the hug, it was the best he’d had his entire life and her small body in his felt like the world to him. It was when he started coughing that she came back to her senses and broke off from the hug to pour him a glass of water. She helped him drink the water by putting the glass in his mouth.
“I’m so sorry, I forgot that you were injured ” she said as she kept the glass back on the table after he’d finished drinking the water.
“It’s fine, I’m just weak and hungry” he said and she got off the bed.
“You should be, even though you were unconscious, you’ve been taking drugs and have barely eaten anything. Please hold on, I’ll go get you food” she said with a smile and just as she was about to leave, he held on to her hand and pulled her back to himself
“Why do you care so much about me?” He asked and she smiled at him.
“You’re just recovering, rest and stop asking me questions” she said and used her index finger to push him back before walking out of the room.
As she walked out, he noticed something. She was still holding on to her stomach which only meant that she’d still not recovered. He felt so bad, he was the reason she was in that condition because if he’d not shot at her, she wouldn’t be in pain. He rested his head back and slowly closed his eyes.
While his eyes were still closed, he could smell a wonderful dish in front of him and when he opened his eyes, he realized that his sense of smell didn’t fail him as his sight captured beautifully made food and by food, he meant both the one who’d brought it and the one who’d been brought.
“Wow, it looks good” he said with a smile as she helped him take out a spoon
“I know right!” She said with a smile on her face and he smiled to himself, he wished he could always see her smile like this for the rest of his life.
“I’m surprised, how long was I asleep for you to order food and then it got here” he said
“I didn’t order it” she said with a smile
“Did the house already have food? I wouldn’t be surprised if it already did because the house is already full of surprises ” he said and she rolled her eyes
“I made the food ” she said and he coughed
“You cook? Oh my goodness , I don’t think I’m hungry anymore as I can only wonder what you have prepared.. ” he said and she hissed
“Didn’t you say it smelt nice and looked good? Why the sudden change?” She asked
“You know it’s not about a food looking or smelling great… it’s about tasting great” he told her
“I know.. now taste the food” she told him and just as he stretched his hand to take a spoon so he could eat, he saw her raise a spoon filled with food to his lips.
He stared at her, was she really going to feed him? Did she really know how inured his arm was? Could she feel his pain? He smiled before opening his mouth and she put the spoon in before he ate.
On eating, his eyes widened in shock. How could the food taste so great? He pulled her face close to himself and gave her a peck on the cheek before taking her hand and then planting a kiss on her head.
“I love you!” He said and she stared at him shocked.
