Ava POV
Silence descended, no one was talking, just an exchange of stares.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“Ava. ” He called with a groan.
“I know that tone. ” I thought and took steps closer to him.
“Are you okay? ” I asked but my brain went off when he held his chest in pain. Falling to the ground in pain. Panicked and fear ran down my spine. I rushed to him, sitting on the floor and placed his head on my lap.
(Stuttering) “Are you okay Martin? ” I mumbled in fear.
(Grunts) “My pills. ” He uttered in between his shaking voice.
“Pills? Where did you put them? ” I asked worriedly, my body, brain.. my system isn’t upright.
“In the mini wardrobe. ” He uttered with a loud groan. I gently placed his head on the group and rushed to the wardrobe. Picking up the pills in an orange bottle. I took a bottle of water and rushed back to his side.
“Can you stand up a little? ” I asked and he shook his head as tears streamed down his eyes.
“What should I do? ” I thought, as different ideas came rushing to my head but still, in the end, he would still need to get up a little.
Still lost in thought, a crazy idea rushed to my silly head, I didn’t bother to have a second thought when I saw him groaning in pain…
“How many do you take? ” I asked opening the bottle. His fingers signify two only and I picked two pills.
He opened his lips a bit, which made the pills inside his mouth. I opened the bottle of water and poured some into my mouth. I moved my lips to him, just in seconds, I released the water into his mouth with his back raised a bit and he gulped them down in seconds.
He’s still groaning in pain with his hand on his chest. More like he wants to take out whatever that is giving him that pain, I looked at his face and tears rushed to the corner of my eyes. Unconsciously, I move my hand to his chest and run my hand on where his hand was. My left hand was massaging his hair while my right hand was on his chest.
Massaging it gently, his pain subsided a little and his normal grunts came back. In a quick move, his hand held mine and I opened my eyes to see him staring at me. Took me minutes before I could gather words together.
“Are you okay? ” I asked with a bright face.
“I’m fine, all thanks to you. ” He appreciated it and planted a kiss on my right hand. I stared at him in shock and he chuckled.
“I want to stand—”
“Can we stay like this? ” He interrupted, I looked at him and nodded. After minutes of panicking, I finally realized who was resting his head on my lap. I didn’t get a chance to check him out because of the sudden accident.
“Why did you make a secret room here? Of all places. ” I found myself making up a conversation and he smiled.
“Your mom did,–”
“Madam Nada–”
“Madam Nada? ” He interrupted before my brain could access what I just did.
“What the fuck?! ” I gasped and rushed on foot, making the back of his head hit the ground hard.
“What the fuck is this? ” He cursed as he stood up.
“Are you hiding anything? ” He asked with his face held in concern.
“I prefer calling her madam Nada than mom… She hardly shows love to anyone around her, including me, which made everyone around her call her with such a title. I found out she loves me just hours ago. ” I explained with a deep sigh at the end of my explanation. I look at him, now he’s sitting on his bed.
“I should go outside. My attention might be needed. ” I mumbled and turned around. I didn’t get the chance to turn around when he pulled my hand, making me settle on his lap.
He turned me over, my back on his bed and he was on top of me.
(Stuttering) “What are you doing? ” My breath is really fucking me up.
“Do you have a crush on me? ” He asked with his eyes searching for answers in my eyes.
