Erica

It was like he was pouring how hurt he was out.

“And I don’t wanna feel how my heart is ripping! Damn it is!! So I act, I don’t wanna feel it and boom!” he laughed and turned back to Erica.

Her eyes went wide immediately as she took slow steps backwards.

“Imma stick to sipping” Aurelio said with the look on his face like an idiot

“ uhm sir, I know I don’t know you too well or understand what you are trying to say…but all I know is that you are hurt, but you should calm down so you don’t hurt—” Erica was trying to calm him down and paused her statements immediately he raised his hands up in the air with the empty wine glass in his hands

Erica eyes slowly went wide open as she saw him throw it at the wall before him.

“YOURSELF!!” she screamed out finally but the glass already went hard and straight to the wall shattering into pieces before the both of them but unluckily enough for Aurelio.

He piece flew to his right wrist and pierced his hand immediately.

“Ow!” he winced in pain lowly and grabbed his wrist as he staggered back.

Erica rushed to him before he could fall and get himself more hurt.

“Are you a chicken! How dare you hurt yourself because someone’s getting on your nerves!” she yelled at him and surprisingly hit the back of his neck before she sat him on a couch there.

Aurelio head fell back and he he didn’t stop groaning in pain.

“father…” he said lowly and Erica sighed

“I really feel your pain..but you should not hurt yourself sir” she said immediately and took his wrist into her hands

His hands were cold, supple and smooth in hers and then she looked down at his bruised wrist.

He already got himself injured.

“Oh goodness” she clicked her tongue and then left to the restroom to get a bowl of water and a small towel.

Erica ran to the drawer by the dressing table and took out an ointment, and a plaster from it.

Aurelio could tell he was in the room with a person but still it was like he wasn’t present in the room.

He turned back and could see her rush to him and took his hands back into hers to treat his wounds.

Erica slowly took the broken pieces out of his wrist and could hear him wince lowly.

The moment she wiped his hands with the little water and applied the ointment to his wound, Aurelio screamed out immediately and tried to slap her hands away but she kept struggling to keep his hands.

“you better chillax! I warned you already!” she yelled at him but then he was so strong and pulled her hands away but did the work of injury her left wrist with his nails

“ouch!” Erica yelled at him and looked down at her wrist to see a long red mark already.

“Like seriously! You got me hurt too! You already hurt yourself and now me! Would you go around hurting everyone cos of your stupid thinking!!” she yelled at him

“Handsome guy like you, behaving like a chicken” she rolled her eyes.

Aurelio looked into her eyes breathing heavily.

“Hey, chill okay?” she said softly to him and took his hands again to treat his wounds.

He said nothing more but allowed her to and then she was done after covering it with the plaster.

“All done! You see” she smiled at him and went back to keep the things she used.

Aurelio was still seated on the couch with his eyes on her.. even though he wasn’t seeing her clearly.

She returned back to him and looked at his wrist and at her right hand.

She untied the purple flowery handkerchief around her hand and tied it around Aurelio’s wrist.

“You should not try this again okay?” she said to him tapping his laps and turned to look at the broken pieces of glass.

“Great! Work!” she shook her head and immediately swept the glass off the ground.

Aurelio was still where he was.. “sir your meal is ready, I’ll be leaving now” she said and was about to leave but she heard no reply from him.

She stopped her steps and turned to look at him, he was trying to get up the couch but Still he looked like he was lifeless.

“Wait, I need your help once more” he said to her. She could see how his face looked and then she sighed as she walked back to him

“maybe I should put you on your bed” she said to him and wrapped her hand around his wait as she pulled him with herself to the King sized bed gently placing him on his bed.

Erica sat him down and took the trays of food out of the trolley placing it on the glass table beside him and went to drop the alcohol and wine he had asked for on the other table.

She went back to him but still he wasn’t eating.

“sir?” she waved her hands at his face seeing the way he was staring at the food before him

“ Didn’t you order for these?” she asked him and heard him sigh lowly.

“Sorry please can you feed me” he pleaded.. that was a surprise to her

“sorry why? I am supposed to be working now sir” she said to him softly

“I promise I’d reward you.. just help me this once” he pleaded again

“it is okay, you are hurt also.. okay then” she replied as she sat beside him on the bed and took the trays to her lap.

Aurelio didn’t take his eyes off her but looked at her every move.

And yes she began to feed him.

“ Would anyone be looking for you? Yes they should” he said after swallowing the food in his mouth

“It’s okay, they will for sure..I am afraid I’d lose my job after now.. but still it’s all good” she replied with a smile

He looked at her and wondered.

“ doesn’t she know who she is with?” but she clearly doesn’t have a single idea.

Minutes later, Erica was done feeding him even if he didn’t finish it all, she served him water and kept the trays back in the trolley.

She stood up to push the trolley away but immediately she turned back to Aurelio, he had already poured himself a shot again.

“what the heck! You are drunk already” she said as she ran back to him to snatch the glass from his hands and did placing the cup and bottle back on the table.

“how much more are you gonna drink for the pain?!” she asked him and went back to him about to walk away but then he held her right hands as he pulled her back to himself but this time she fell over him, pushing him down to the bed.

Her eyes were fixed into his icy blue eyes while his were staring intently into her green emerald eyes.

His hands were around her small tiny waist while her hands were on his chest.

She gulped down immediately and was about to get off him but then he turned her to the other side going over her this time. He raised her hands over her own head pinning her down and then he inclined his face toward hers and lay his mouth on her mouth slowly, which was like a freshly split-open fig.

He had just kissed Erica!
