Darla, I'm hurt!"
That sentence had her running straight to him, she observed his pained expression and realized that he was feeling more pain than he was letting on.
"What's wrong? Did you pull on your injury, why is hurting again?" She bombarded him with her concerned.
He didn't say a word but she concluded he just couldn't talk as a result of the pain.
Watching her fuss over him attentively gave him an immense rush of satisfaction, even though he knew it wasn't the right method he'd used, he couldn't help but love the result it yielded.
"You're fine, it's not bleeding. How are you hurt? Where are you hurt, Wolf?" She questioned him.
"Yeah, I stood up and just happened to pull on it and it really hurt, I just wanted you to come check it for me. Wouldn't want it to get infected now, would we?" He defended.
Even though she found his careless attitude annoying she couldn't stop herself from further checking him.
"Are you good now? I still have a lot of things to do, if you'd excuse me." She ran off like he was going to eat her. Well…
Still immersed in his satisfaction,he let her run away, not like he was leaving anytime soon anyway. He chuckled to himself. Speaking of which, he had not thought about the bastard that ambushed him and left him In this condition. He had scores to settle with that coward.
"Wolf, would you like something to eat? I made cookies", Darla yelled from the kitchen.
Of course he had no reason to decline anything from her, but cookies? Where had anyone seen a wolf munching cookies, really!
"Yes, Darling. I would love to eat your cookies." Yeah, how could he decline, the sacrifice she paid to make them was avoiding him. Anyways, he would eat them.
She beamed in a surprise manner, like she had expected him to answer in a negative manner. You couldn't blame her, the man almost rejected chicken, what reason did he have to say yes to cookies. She rushed at serving him like she was afraid he would change his mind.
"And Darling, look at me", he called out to get her to look at him, "call me Rhodes."
Just like he had predicted, she turned red at the speed of light.
She saw the smirk on his face at her situation, and whispered, "Rhodes".
