He gently pulled her back, "So what do you need, tell me?" he said.
Lina wiped her tears, "Can we get someone else to help me, I don't want to bother you"
"Sorry it's me & you" he said.
Lina sighed, "Okay, I just need some help to get to the bathroom"
He nodded got up, carried her and they moved to the guest room that she was using.
"So what's next?" he asked after getting her to the bathroom.
"My phone, I need to order something," she said.
"Say it & I will go get it," he said.
"NO!" yelled Lina, she covered her mouth blinking, "Am sorry but it's..."
"Sanitary pads? Where do I get those?" he asked.
She looked up at him, "What? Just tell me where I get them" he said.
After getting the name of what she uses, he left in a hurry.
"Just take your shower I will be back," he said closing the bathroom door behind him.
Lina felt her face burn but then the door opened and his head popped in, "Lina, make sure not to get the wound wet" he said.
She nodded, "Okay" and he left.
.....
"This is the second time you're calling me this late, is something wrong son?" Avril heard his mother's voice.
"Mother, she gave me the brand name of the sanitary pad she uses but I can't find them here" he said moving his eyes over the section of pads he had found.
"Calm down son, and tell me what happened?" she said.
Avril sighed, "Well she got her period and needs these, but I can't seem to find the one she requested" he breathed.
His mother chuckled, "Okay take a deep breath and listen to me"
He did and listened to his mother, "I know this is your first time doing this but am proud of you that you accepted to do it. So if you can't find the brand first confirm with any of the staff there" she said.
Without hanging up he moved to one of the staff that had been looking at him for a while and showed them the name and asked if they heard it. She smiled and nodded leading him to the second section of toiletries where they were stocked.
He smiled and moved closer, "Mother I found them but some have night and others day"
She chuckled, "Yes some do have that, So for now since we don't know which she likes why don't you take each and she will select herself"
"Okay, thanks Mom," he said.
"Get home safe," she said.
He drove home in a hurry, worried she might have slipped after her bath since she could not move properly.
"Lina am back, "he said walking to her room. Knocking he waited but got no reply. Walking in she wasn't in the bedroom. So he moved to the bathroom. "Lina, are you okay?" he asked
"Your back" she answered.
"Mmm, should I come in?"
"Yeah, am done," she said.
He stepped in to find her wrapped in a towel with her wet hair down around her shoulders.
"Am sorry I got confused" he said giving her the bag.
She smiled, "It's my fault, thank you"
He stood there watching her open the bag and chuckle.
"One was enough" she muttered.
"You can keep the rest for next time" he let out.
She nodded, "Okay" Taking one her eyes moved back to him.
He gazed back, "Something wrong?".
"No, I just need something from the bag Tony brought," she said without answering he moved back to the bedroom and grabbed the bag and brought it to her.
"Is that all?" he asked.
"Yeah"
"Okay, go ahead. I will be outside, call me when you're done" he said.
