***Rayzel's Point of View***
I dizzily tilted my head as I felt the rays of sunlight flashed in my closed eyes as I tried to avoid it and furrowed my brows and I slowly opened both of my eyes.
I was about to scratch my eyes when I felt something heavy that prevented me from lifting my right hand. I furrowed once again and lifted my head but a white cloth dropped from my forehead.
Bewildered, I looked down and was welcomed with a Scott sleeping beside me. He was sitting and half of his body was leaning into the bed while his right hand was holding an ice pack and the other one was holding my hand.
I smiled as I noticed his expression, he was frowning and his mouth was slightly open...Even in his sleep he's still looking mad but awfully handsome.
After a moment of me staring at him in his peaceful slumber, he suddenly moved his head and I instantly shifted my eyes to the other direction so he wouldn't catch me staring at him while he slept.
"Ahemm!" I cleared my throat as soon as he opened his two tantalizing eyes and gazed directly at me.
"Thank God! Finally, you're awake, Faith!" He said as he bent forward to my direction and caressed my face.
You could see in his face the feeling of relief and at the same time his dark circles are showing but that didn't make him less of an attractive man to my eyes.
I furrowed for the 3rd time and asked confusedly, "Why? What happened?"
I pulled myself up and leaned my back on the headboard while he sat beside me. I waited for his answer as I took the glass of water from the bedside table and drank all of it. I kind of feel thirsty and hungry.
"You have been asleep for three days already." He started. "And you had a strong fever." He sounded really concerned.
My eyes went wide as I heard him say those words. I didn't know it was already that long. The last thing I remembered was that we were on our way to his house and I took a nap in the car as we traveled home.
So that's the reason why my mouth felt so dry and my stomach was empty and on top of that, I felt so light.
"Did I? Then, who took care of me?" I asked. I lifted the blanket and my jaw dropped. I am only wearing nighties. "Who changed my clothes?" I asked as my eyes narrowed at him.
Please tell me he's not the one who took care of me and changed my clothes for three consecutive days.
I held the blanket up to cover my whole body and up to my nose, so that only my pair of eyes could be seen...This is embarrassing, how great is that, that the assistant made her boss take care of her for three days? How shameful!
Suddenly, a loud growl escaped from my stomach. Which made my face burn instantly and turn as red as a ripe potato because of another embarrassment.
He wasn't able to answer but instead each corner of his lips lifted up as it formed into a curve... he grinned while looking into my stomach and stared at me.
"Ahmm…" I couldn't find a word to say so I looked away.
"Let me call the maids and bring you food. Your pets that are in your stomach are already angry, you haven't fed them for three days…" He teased and grinned.
He then took his phone in his pocket and was about to make a call but he halted as soon as I spoke again.
"No... I'll just go downstairs and get my own food. You don't have to bother them." I said. I have already been useless for three days, I don't want to be a burden to anyone.
I started to move and was about to get off the bed but he didn't allow me to move by pushing me back to the bed.
"Just...just stay there,okay? You might relapse if you move too much." He said firmly and then proceeded on calling one of the maids and give instructions.
I let out a deep sigh, "Scott, my back already hurts. I have to move at least or walk around this room maybe?" I complained. "And don't we have work to do today?" I added when I took a glance of the clock on the bedside table and it was already ten in the morning.
"Nope. I'm all yours, love." He winked.
I rolled my eyes as a response to his cockiness.
Then we heard a knock from the door which I think was the maid. "Entrare!" He shouted in his Italian accent.
The door opened, two women appeared, one was an old woman and the other one was younger, maybe in her 20s. She kind of has the resemblance of the older woman.
They both paid respect to Scott and bowed down before they entered the room. The young lady seemed to be trembling in fear as he looked straight into Scott.
But the older woman elbowed her softly and gave her a sharp look as she cleared her throat.
Then they proceeded, they placed the bed tray table just right beside me, of course. And left the room immediately as soon as they were finished with everything.
While Scott on the other hand went to check his laptop on his table.
"Aren't you eating?" I asked when he didn't pay even a short glance at my direction.
"You can go first, I have to finish something." He answered without looking at me.
I raised an eyebrow at him, 'I thought he said he's all mine today?' Hmmp! Whatever. Then I started eating. After I ate, I finally decided to get off the bed and went straight to the bathroom.
It irritates me that he didn't even take a single look at me as I passed in front of his table, he was too busy with his laptop.
So I took a shower to calm myself down and did what I needed to do. When I finished and got out of the shower, I facepalm myself.
My stupid ass forgot to bring clothes inside the bathroom! As I went straight to the bathroom a while ago and didn't bother to get any clothes to wear… Now, what?! I only have my towel.
I'm annoyed of myself for being so stupid, now how am I supposed to passed through Scott's table without him noticing me? I will need to pass in that direction before I could reach the closet.
Without a choice, I wrapped the towel around my body and exhaled deeply as I held into the doorknob... hesitating to get out. This is fucking embarrassing.
I slowly pulled the door open...it was so slow to not create any sound to the point that even my own breathing stops.
Then I took a big step out of the bathroom and tiptoed slowly, to not get his attention. I was holding into my towel tightly as my head is down and my eyes were looking straight into the floor
I was silently praying and hoping that he wouldn't notice me but…I heard him clear his throat.
I immediately halted and turned my head to stare at him.
I blushed as soon as I realized where he was staring so intensely. He drooled as he stared at me from head to toe. And he swallowed a saliva when his eyes stopped into my breast.
"Hey! Keep your eyes off my body!" I reprimanded and glared at him. And then I ran quickly to the closet without a second thought.
I am soaking wet! The water from my hair was dripping all over me, especially in my chest area.
P.s guess what will happen next! ;)
