Chapter sixty one No ill Intentions
King Roy POV.
She was with him, after I had left and she didn’t even know my whereabouts, was she so angry with me? I wondered. The only comfort I had then was that I had seen that she had tried to contact me when my phone was off. I had gotten to the country but it wasn’t easy, because just getting the donor wasn’t the only problem but I had to make sure that the person was a good person with no ill intentions about anyone.
I had spent two days in the country but it felt like eternity because I was away from Sheila and my family. And the fact that she was still with that man in the hospital was heart aching and breathtaking. I had to spend a week or more in investigating preferred donors.
Sheila’s POV
I sat in the couch with my phone expecting a call from King but it was like forever and no call was coming through. I didn’t want to be the one calling in the end to view my desperation to hear from him. It had been two days and surprisingly, Aaron’s mom was still nowhere to be found. But he was the least bothered about it but I didn’t want to bother him about that so he could heal faster. I had always hated the hospital but I couldn’t remember that feeling it was as if I was then developing that feeling. Again, apart from being in the hospital and King whom I was desperately waiting for, and didn’t even know where I could find him, I also couldn’t also remember where I stayed. Fear lingered in my heart that I was cleaning up sweat every second, and all I knew was I was in the hospital for the sake of Aaron who was hurt. And the promise I was supposed to keep. I sat with the phone, my security lock forgotten, I looked up to see Aaron staring at me, I eyed him and he looked away. A few seconds later and he was back to looking, his charming eyes made my heart flutter and I wanted to capture that feeling before I forgot it. The thing is that, I was ready for something and wasn‘t fighting against it but I couldn’t point to that fact. He finally blinked and asked,
“Is something wrong Sheila?”
“I don’t know, is something wrong with me?I have forgotten the day and how we met can you remind me?” I demanded.
“You forgot? That’s painful and wrong. ” He said looking wronged.
“I know right? It really is painful. ” I said oblivious of what he meant.
“Are you rubbing salt in my sore?” He asked sneering
“Am I ? I really thought it was all words play till now. I am sorry about that. ” I apologized.
“Why are you so serious about everything my love?” He asked smirking.
“Your… okay so tell me will you? How did we meet and why am I so concerned about you?” I asked curiously but I didn’t know how long I could keep that knowledge even after he had told me.
“You are my friend and I met you when you came in with Lydia to Lucky’s house. ” said Aaron.
“Oh God, I remember now. He’s her boyfriend right? She’s pregnant with his baby. ” I revealed.
“What? Pregnant? Good for him then. He should take really good care of her right? How I wish I was in his stead. ” He said dreamingly.
“Really? How about?” I said smiling.
I walked closer to him, his eyes fluttered as he kept eye contact with me. I got to him and whispered,
“I get you some healing soup? ” I added with a smirk. I couldn’t believe I could play at that point. He saw what I did and laughed it off, I was going out when…
Aaron’s POV
I held her hand to stop her from moving then she looked back at me shocked, she held her chest and panicked, her body shook as she looked depressed suddenly. So I let her go but she kept staring at me in fear, I didn’t know what was happening and how I was to stop it. Her back hit the door and she took the handle and ran out of the door not even bothering to look back or closing the door.
I watched on surprised about her behavior and the reason for it, then it occurred to me that, maybe after the rape incident, she had gotten a fear of men. And I am a man to her even if I was her friend, she saw me as a man. My heart skipped a beat and I knew the matter wasn’t something to joke with but I also didn’t know how to get rid of it since she feared me. But then letting her go because of that didn’t suit well with me, I wanted her for myself in the word and meaning forever and ever. And I wasn’t ready to back down, I watched the door silently praying she would come and if she did, I wasn’t going to let her go. It had been ten full minutes and yet she wasn’t back, I turned on the television to beat time but what was displaying on it was shocking.
