Infatuation Of Darkness

Her recovery had started and it had started with the physical one first. They had put Alexis through various exercises which had all-around body movements. A few for which she needed help but for the rest, she was slow but did on her own.  

For the drugs given to her, she was taken on the weekly cleanse as her kidneys could not function properly despite the medication given. She was given the drug in reduced amounts. It was helping but at times she had major setbacks by the various flashbacks and woke up in cold sweat for which, much to her comfort, her husband was there. 

And as for the husband, Angelo was almost all of the time there with her helping her throughout the entire time that she was in the hospital. Sometimes she found herself smiling and how he was just said an continue to do his work on the couch provided by the hospital in her room just be with her.  

As he was currently. 

He was sitting on the couch with his laptop open and files scattered around. His sleeves folded and God the veins in his arms turned her on. She wanted nothing more but to jump on his bones. He had a pen and his hand and after that, he would stretch that will make his muscles and chest flex making her swoon. 

She wanted him. 

Her legs almost healed as she has been here for weeks. 3 weeks were gone by as if it were nothing but slipping from her hands. It was the same monotonous timetable she followed where she exercised, ate and spent her time talking to him. She wanted to have him inside her and that thought alone had brought a blush to her face.

The more she looked at him the more she wanted him to be with her. 

She knew that some man in the world war like Angelo but most of them would have left your have had an affair behind their wives back but here he was, spending all his time with her in a hospital. 

"Angelo," she sang softly in a bored tone. "What are you doing?" 

He frowned a bit while reading but then looked up after reading the sentence. "What?" He asked in a slightly confused expression. 

She sighed and repeated herself. "What are you doing?" She sang. 

"What?" He looked dumbfounded. "What are talking about?" 

She blinked. 'What's wrong with him?' 

Was she not clear? 

"I said," she repeated, "what are you doing?" She didn't sing it like previous times. Yet the time was still playful. 

The frown on Angelo's forehead became more evident. "Alexis, sweetie, what are talking about?" He asked with a confused expression on his face. 

Alexis blinked and looked away for a moment. Did he not get it? Was something wrong with her? Was she dreaming? 

"Angelo can you not hear me?" She pointed to herself and then asked him that. She had been loud and clear and not once had she done that, she had done it numerous times. 

He tilted his head with a confused expression and blinked. "Honey, are you talking about something?"

She immediately nodded. "Yes, I am!" 

"About what?" He asked. "I can't hear you." He said. 

"I said something about what were you doing?"

He leaned in a bit and repeated. "what I am I what? Honey do you need a doctor or a nurse?" He offered. 

"No, no!" She shook her head. 

What was happening? 

She cleared her throat and said in a loud voice, "I said, What are y-" she stopped as she saw his smile slip in a bit. It was tiny but she saw it. 

"Angelo!" She yelled out. Taking a cushion from her side she threw it at him. "How could you!" 

He caught it as he threw his head back in laughter, "How could I not?" He laughed a bit more as he patted his chest a little. "However, I wonder why in the world did you catch into this so late?" 

She thought so too. She had, very stupidly, fallen into the prank. 

"Well, I am on heavy medication!" She defended herself. "You can't do that to a person who is dosed up on anaesthesia."

"Oh yes," he scoffed. "Anaesthesia? Honey you have been on any heavy sedatives since the past two weeks." 

She blushed as she realised about her lie being caught on, yet the need to defend herself did not go away. "Well, what can I say? I have not had any human interactions except you and the doctors." She shrugged and then added after a second, "and the physiologist." 

"I agree." He saw her point and he knew that it would eventually come up. For which he had already readied himself. "I was not sure abouteatingingt to tell anyone. Your kidnapping from right under my nose had caught me off guard and the only thing that I could think of was what to do? I had to keep it under the wraps so that no one knew what was happening and I had the leverage. If I had told everyone about it there would have been panic around and if you have messed up the plans that I had to carry out to find you." 

He stopped talking and looked pained as if he did not want to talk about this. Alexis frowned a bit as she looked at him he looked like he had aged a lot in this past weeks. 

"What?" She whispered edging him to continue. 

"I didn't know what to say to them." He grimaced a bit. "I don't know what you would like for me to say to them. Something that would make you feel no less than yourself in front of them." He rubbed his forehead and continued, "I have not informed anybody about this but if you want I can. Just tell me what you want me to say to them."

He was right, she bitterly thought to herself.. He right in thinking so.
