Odir has an inner battle of what to do. He knows what is the right thing to do, that is telling the truth, but he fears that will scare Aika away and he can't live without her.
He can feel that Aika has built a wall to keep people outside and that he needs to gain her trust. He can't live in peace knowing that Aika hates him or that she doesn't want to stay with him anymore, he doesn't want to force her.
Odir sits on her side and hears her talking to Bones on the phone.
"Don't worry, Bo. Aidan will help me and Odir is here too with his brother. At least during the first days they will be here. Don't need to come earlier."
"I see.. I'm a bit calmer now. Let me talk to Odir." Bones says.
Aika passes her phone to Odir.
"Hey, Bones." Odir speaks.
"Hey, man. Thanks for taking care of Aika. How much was the hospital bill? She's not telling me." Bones says on the other line.
"Don't worry. I took care of that. I'll get the medicines too."
"Oh.. Then that's why she said she didn't know. Thank you. You will stay there until when? I have flight tickets to go visit them next Sunday. Next week. Do you think I should go earlier to take care of them?"
"I was going to stay two days but now I'm thinking of staying for the week to watch out for her and try to help. I haven't talked to her about this yet." Odir answers and looks at Aika.
"Well, talk to her and tell me. This girl needs someone to keep her down."
"It's true. I'll tell you later then." Odir answers, smiling.
"All right. Thanks again for everything."
"Don't need to thank me for taking care of my girlfriend, man." Odir chuckles, making Bones laugh too.
Odir gives the phone back to Aika.
"What are you plotting with Odir?" She asks.
"Nothing to worry about. Go home and let Odir spoil you." Bones says.
She sighs, smiling, knowing she can't argue with everyone.
Ian flags a cab, and they leave and stop at a drugstore to buy her medicines. On the way home, Aika sends a message to the restaurant to bring the pizzas.
Aika walks to the fridge and takes a beer, Odir takes it from her hand to open it for her.
"Thanks." She gladly says, then sighs more relaxed after feeling the cold liquid in her throat. "I was needing this to absorb everything." She speaks.
Her phone rings and it's the restaurant. Ian goes to take the pizzas, when he pulls out his wallet the pizza delivery man pushes Ian inside.
"Are you crazy, dude? Do you want to get robbed or something? Look around before pulling out your wallet. Lucky you I'm a good guy! Don't put me at risk just because you're reckless." The delivery guy says, pissed.
Ian nods in appreciation, but that made him even more worried. He pays and then sends a message to the bodyguards to let them know he's fine. They were ready to invade the building.
Odir and Ian sit on the ground near the sofa, letting Aika and Aidan on the sofa. They have the pizzas watching a movie. Aidan falls asleep on his sister's lap, Odir carries him to his bedroom and tucks him in.
That gave Odir the opportunity to see Aidan's bedroom. He has many pictures of him, Aika, and Bones on the wall next to his bed. He also has many medals from school, many kinds of books, and very few toys. This boy also had to grow up fast, and that hurt Odir's heart.
-
"Thank you. Both of you. For everything." Aika says to Odir and Ian. "And I'm sorry too. Today was crazy." She laughs at herself.
"Don't need to say that… Did you get hurt other times at work?" Ian asks, curious.
"It would be a lie to affirm or to deny. It's not a job without risks. However the other times I didn't have to get a license to heal.."
"But the other times did you go to see the doctor?" Odir asks.
"No. Always healing with homemade medicines. It's cheaper and I don't need to stop working." She answers looking at her beer bottle, then taking another sip. "It's not a matter of taking the proper time to rest, but many people just pretend to don't feel pain."
They absorb what she said because it's not something they're aware of since they don't need to fear for their jobs.
"Have you ever thought of having your own business?" Odir asks.
She looks at him with a smile on her face.
"Forget I'm the CEO. I'm asking to know that's all." He shyly says, and she chuckles.
"I know. I'm not seeing you as the CEO. I just tried to imagine me as one." She speaks.
"Oh… And you can?"
"I'm not sure. I actually like to do things not very related to aviation, but I can't leave something safe for something I'm not sure and I'm not entirely experienced. Maybe in the future." She answers.
"Are you talking about your hobbies?"
"They're hobbies, yes, but if I could choose I would love a game or tattoo studio." She answers.
"That's actually great." Ian says.
"I remember that game you showed me at Bones' bar. It was amazing. And as I saw, you're not so inexperienced. You designed many things already and your tattoos are amazing too." Odir speaks.
Ian nods in agreement, then takes a sip of beer directly from the bottle. Odir and Ian were raised and lived around rich and royal people. Expensive drinks in expensive glasses are what they're used to and drinking beer like this in a simple place is something new. And they're loving the experience. Especially, Odir.
"But do you see yourself growing more in Alpha Airways?" Ian asks her.
"Who knows? Growing more than a super is harder, but not impossible. I need to run to dispatch some more hundreds of flights on time and carry some more items of hand luggage." She smirks, making them chuckle.
"Don't even joke about that. Next time leave the bags." Odir says.
"Let's say that the result of leaving that many bags is a written letter from Greg and some airport director punishing me or whoever was on the flight. Two punishments are suspension. Two suspensions equal street. Fired. You see, people fear losing their jobs. Not only me." She explains.
"I think I understand why you feel that. Everyone does their bests to don't lose their jobs because they want to have a nice life with their loved ones. For that, a base is needed." Odir softly says, and she nods in agreement.
"I admit that having a business might give me much more than working for someone, but until that many sacrifices come along, and… Aidan already went through too much. Who knows in the future?"
Odir and Ian decided to stop talking about that because they feel that it can bring sensitive things for her. They're happy enough to know she might leave this dangerous job.
Aika points out how Ian can turn the sofa into a bed, and where he can find sheets. Even if Ian never slept in a place like this, he's feeling happy just because his Queen is treating him like family or close friends.
Odir and Aika go to her bedroom. He helps her sit since he doesn't want her to force her shoulders.
"This lower bed is not good for you in this condition." Odir says, worried, after sitting on her side.
"Yeah, but I can find a way to stand up without forcing my shoulders." She sighs and then looks at him again. "Thank you again. For everything." She smiles.
"I love spoiling you. If you knew how much… It makes me happy. I don't want to live your life for you, but if I could make it tender and sweeter, I will…" He softly says hugging her waist and then kissing her forehead.
"Oh it is sweeter with you… Warmer and pleasant." She smirks, then gets closer to kiss his lips.
Their kiss grows deeper and hotter. They were missing each other a lot. Odir is even trembling.
"Let me take care of you…" He whispers, but it has a deeper meaning.
He wants her to hold onto him and never again fear for the future.
He removes her clothes slowly and carefully. He removes the sling the way the doctor taught them, then he opens her bra, making her bite her lips feeling goosebumps from his touch. Her stomach is floating and her inner parts are melting.
He lays her down carefully and kisses her deeply again.
"I love to hear you moaning… but you were a bad girl getting hurt. Your punishment will be to stay quiet even in pleasure." He whispers on her lips.
He kisses her neck, sucking and licking her skin, her breasts. Going down to pull off her shorts. Aika is having a real hard time to contain her voice and she knows he's great enough to make things even harder.
"I missed you so much.." He whispers taking his clothes off, but not taking his eyes from her.
Taking her right leg, he kisses her feet, kisses her leg, going up until he finds her sex. She's breathing heavily already and gasps silently while he licks and sucks her insides. She bites her hand as he does his magic.
He looks up to her overjoyed to see her in deep pleasure. She goes to climax, and he could see that by her breathing and body spasms. He never wore the condom so quickly as he did at this moment, because he wants her so much he wants to scream.
In the end, it was harder for him to hold his voice and not make sounds than for her.
