Infatuation Of Darkness

He stopped as he looked at the door and Alexis followed his gaze.

Angelo stood there and he was not looking happy.

"Are you okay?" She asked him innocently with a tilt of her head. "You look a bit red." She observed.

"Do I?" He smiled as he taunted. "I do feel a bit uncomfortable." He said looking at her, hinting a bit. What had happened to her? Was the trauma too much that she had become to daft of a person?

"Oh.," she mumbled, confused a bit.

Angelo sighed a bit forcefully, then he looked at the doctor with a fake smile. "Excuse us now, Doc?" He asked in a polite voice. 

The man shook out of whatever he was thinking and nodded repeatedly in a hurry. He rushed past Angelo and her husband closed the door and walked to the side of her bed and stood there with his arms crossed.

"Everything okay?" She asked with a slight change in her expression.

"Yes, I believe for me, everything for me is okay," he said as he did so, he focused on a few words that make her immediately frown. For him? What was that supposed to mean?

"I don't get what you're talking about.." she directly conveyed what she thought about this. "Can't you just tell me what you're thinking about?"

And that is when Angelo realised something after which he completely changed his approach.

"I was worried for you my love," he took her face in his hands and gently spoke to her. "I was worried about you having any kind of panic attacks."

Her heart shook a bit. Panic attacks, what did he know about those? She had not conveyed anything to him about the panic attacks that she experienced whenever she slept or even when she closed her eyes. The doctor himself was not aware of it as well, so how did he know about?

"What panic attacks?" She questioned in a way of defending herself. Even though it did not make a lot of sense to why she would have to defend herself, she did without realising that she had given herself away too.

Angelo pulled back his hands and slouched himself a bit. He looked troubled and Alexis immediately felt bad. she wanted to know what was troubling him as he had been there for her in the journey of recovery and she want to do was take away all his pains just as he did for her. 

"I know what happened to you while you were kidnapped Alexis," spoke in a low volume looking conscious of anyone hearing them. "I was just conscious of what it would feel like for you to be in a room that the man that you do not know."

When Angelo did not hear anything from her he looked and peeked at her from the corner of his eyes. She was silent.

That did the trick. So, just for fun, he egged her on.

"I was afraid if you had an attack or he attacked you but there you were laughing with him..all smiles.."

*********

Stupid.

That's what she was.

She was plain.

Again, like a bloody idiot, she had let someone enter her life and did not consider anything about them. For all she knew, he could have been one of her kidnappers. She only knew the woman by face and voice and for the others, she had no idea who they were, what did they sound like or whatever she had to know about them to identify them.

In the early days of her recovery, after she had woken up from her medically induced coma, she had been wary of men. Angelo had been by her side and she had Appreciated it a lot. She had constantly been in touch with him. His presence had calmed her down. He was one of the men that she knew and was thankful for being present. She had been so constantly dependent on him for so long and she had not even realised it.

She was once again comfortable with the species of men when they had destroyed her as a whole. She felt weak both psychically and mentally, at times she wondered if she had her soul intact or if she would have left her body altogether.

She wondered what was wrong with her? How could she trust someone so easily?

'What if that man was not a doctor but a kidnapper? He could have easily killed me and moved on with it? He was just dressed as a doctor and I trusted him very easily whereas on the other hand he could have, with a swipe or a second of his time killed me.'

'once again I had stupidly given away myself to the outcome without any thinking.' 

It has been a long time since Angelo had confessed about his suspensions for her safety and after that, she had left for the night it and she has fallen asleep or at least she had appeared to be. After this whole incident and you had assured her that he did not trust her as she allowed anyone in without any thinking and had placed guards on the door who would only let in those doctors that they were familiar with. 

Her hands made their way to her hair and pulled them of frustratedly. 'how could I be so stupid? I want to live but why do I always have to get myself in trouble. I am so pathetic that I cannot even ask God to help me given that I cannot even help myself.' 

Alexis felt frustrated with herself. even before she met Angelo she had never been so naive. she was not so trusting and no one knew where her house was aur anything regarding your details that were not meant to be shared. Even if she went out on a date with someone or dated a man properly she would never share her personal information. 

So why now? Why has she become so stupid even after she had endured something soul-shattering and still she had not learnt her lesson. 

She turned her head to the side with a frustrated sigh and that is when something shiny appeared in her line of sight.

I had a question, does it ever feel while reading that I write a detailed version that is not really needed or is it fine?
