“You drive me crazy.” He muttered as his lips leave my mouth to trail hotly down my neck and to my breasts.
“Oh…” I am achy and needy for him. The fire of my hormones throbbed for release. My moans came in loud, breathless pants as his tongue lapped at my nipples. The rest of our clothes came off in less than seconds and we hurried to the bed.
We spend the rest of the night making love in each other’s arms and we didn’t sleep until the early hours of the morning.
I woke up to an empty bed and a deliciously sore body that could be attributed to last night’s activities.
When I walked down to the kitchen for breakfast, Alba was sitting there and nursing a bleeding hand that she held under a running tap. I hurried over to her side and took the injured hand in mine to examine it. It looked slightly deep, and it was bleeding profusely despite the water.
“What happened?” I asked her, a little aghast.
“I was being a klutz, daydreaming about grandbabies when I should concentrate on the task at hand.”
I didn’t focus on her words as I hurried to the first aid box up in the cabinet. I fetched the spirit and fresh gauze to clean up the wounds and stopped the bleeding and then wrap a bandage around it.
“Thank you, love. You’re a lifesaver.” Alba said.
“Alright, go on and settle down. I’ll make you breakfast.” I said to her.
“No, honey. This is nothing. I can make you breakfast, even in my sleep.”
“I insisted.” I gave her a pointed stare and she sighed, giving me a small smile before she finally went to sit.
I took over the onions she had been slicing to make an omelet while she sat behind the counter watching me.
I worked in silence for a while before she finally spoke;
“So…” she started, with a sly smile. “You and Mr. Christian,”
I could not hold back my smile because I knew just how much she had been keeping that to herself.
“How long have you been holding that in?” I ask her with a big smile and she chuckled, settling down deeper into her chair to watch me.
“Seriously, Honey. I hope you know what you’re doing because this is big. Even for you.”
Her words worry me, but I try not to dwell too much on it.
“You’ve got to be careful, is all I’m saying. I’m happy for you. I mean it. The boss hasn’t been this happy in a long time. This is the happiest we’ve ever seen him and it’s all because of you. Whatever you’re doing, honey? Keep doing it.”
“I think you’re being a little dramatic, Alba,” I said to her with a smile.
“I’m not. Really. You do not know just how gloomy things were before you arrived. A nurse ran away in her first week and she left crying like a baby. The other one tried to stick it out longer, but even that proved too much for her and she had to leave.”
I am not surprised by Alba’s admission because I’d suspected as much. Christian had been beyond rude to me when I began working here in the beginning. It felt like a pattern because I had nothing else to go back to. I had no choice but to stick it out.
“Was all this because of a broken heart? Or was it the accident?”
“I think it was both, dear. But you’ll just have to ask him yourself.”
After breakfast, I went to seek Christian. He had a physical therapy session with his doctor, but the time for that ended a while back. I finally found him in his workshop and he looked refreshed and freshly showered.
“Looks like you no longer need your nurse, since you look healthier and healthier every day.” My words caught his attention, and he turned to look at me.
“I have to admit, I loved this new look, but it would make my job a little redundant,” I said to him with a smile.
“Believe me, you could never be redundant.” He said,
I was still standing by the door watching him when his slow perusal of me left me hot and bothered. I knew nothing could come of it, given I was still very much sore from last night.
