68. Nursing The Alpha 1
Chapter Sixty Eight; Nursing The Alpha 1
Miya’s POV
What was really happening? His hands had rested on mine and twisting me in a swift movement so that I was facing him still fully conscious if the food behind me.
“Why would I compliment you? It’s my groceries that you are using, my gas, my pot and in my kitchen , you should be the one complimenting me.
“Okay so I should thank you for cooking for you?”
“Yes”
“Okay, thank you or letting me use your ingredients Mr. Alpha Xavier, I am sure the food would be delicious”
Why was he smiling like that, it was just a compliment and it was so full of sarcasm, but he doesn’t seem to notice that, he even relied by saying thank you.
“You’re welcome I guess?”
“Yeah, now I want to take a bath”
“And that has what to do with me again?”
“Aren’t you the nurse who’s in charge of taking care of me? Well I am sick and I need to take a shower”
“But but do you really have to take a shower now?”
“Except if you’ll use a wet towel to massage my entire body, then I will choose to follow your advice and not take my bath”
Ah, this man can put someone in trouble one day, when did I advice him not to take a bath? And he now talks of massaging his body with a wet towel, was it not just to on the faucet and let water enter, I’ll better just prepare a bath water for him after all he is not feeling very well, he might be unable to do it.
I ran out of the kitchen into the only bathroom I was conversant with in the house, the one down stairs, switching on the faucet, I let cold and hot water pour evenly so that at the end the water was lukewarm, perfect for taking bath.
I went out to meet him in the kitchen keeping guard over my food.
“The bath water is ready, you can go take your bath now” And then I focused on my food again when I heard my name being called from somewhere in the house.
His voice had sounded so loud and full of despair as if he was in a big big trouble.
I ran out of the kitchen and went straight into the bathroom, without thinking I opened the door but there was no one there.
“Oh my god Miya, where are you?”
I heard the loud cry again, this time it was more dramatic, I was close to the stairs now so I knew he had called me from upstairs.
I ran up and pushed the door of his room, pushing the door open, I entered to see him still wrapped with his bathing towel still wrapped along his waist he didn’t look like he was in trouble so I looked at him again expecting some explanation for shouting name from the other side of the house like the way he did.
“The bathing water is cold, I want it to be warm not lukewarm, change it again”
I looked at him like a dumb kid asking for an impossible you during Christmas.
But I didn’t say anything l, the sickness must really be getting into him, poor man, he was even sweating on his forehead.
I opened the outlet and got rid of the Lukewarm water, then I let only hit water into the tub before leaving the room, I didn’t need to tell him that I’ve changed it already.
When I got downstairs, my food was already done, luckily only the edge of the pot got stacked with the stew, the food didn’t burn.
I immediately brought out another pot and made the soup that Jamie had originally asked me to cook for him.
“It’s really my fault his sickness was getting serious, if only I cooked the soup as soon as she said it, he may even be sleeping now, who knows”
Once I was done, I took the brewed soup and placed it at the center of the dinning table and set it for him so that when he comes out, he’ll just drink from it.
Satisfied with my work, I took another plate and fetched the rice and stew on the plate, I didn’t forget to throw in a chicken thigh on my plate.
I sat on the second seat close to the soup I made to keep as eye on it while I ate my wok food peacefully.
Soon enough, the man of the hour came out in a clean polo shirt and plain trouser after taking his bath, he sat on seat in the middle where the soup was kept and asked.
“What is this? it smells so awful like ammonia”
“If cause how else would it smell, it’s medicine that Jamie had asked me to prepare for you, hurry up and drink it”
“Who’s Jamie”
Instead of drinking his soup, he had to ask stupid questions.
“Alpha don’t tell me you are already getting old that you don’t remember that name of your doctor already ? What a shame your memory is fading while your face still looks this young and handsome.”
“Of cause I know Dr. Mildred, I was just merely asking who gave you the permission to call her first name? Do you think you are already friends? Remember, she is merely just helping a poor broke helpless rogue like you to settle your hospital bills, there’s nothing she has to do with you get that? She’s only your superior.”
My fist was folded into a ball at the mention of rogue, I was already fuming with rage, what’s with this man, whoever mentioned being friends with her, if not because I respected her as my superior, I wouldn’t even be here in the first place.
I contained my anger and continued eating my food because I know if I replied him I might end up loosing my food so I could only swallow my words, but even at that, he still didn’t let me go.
