A simple meal of apology…
*****
Dropping the tray on the table, Mike rested his back on the wall, folded his arms on his chest and calmly waited for Liza to finish with her morning business and come out.They have to talk, he needs to make her know he is deeply sorry and will never hurt her. Hopefully, Liza will take it easy on him without dragging his ass on the floor.Having brushed her teeth and finished her morning routine, Liza went to the door to listen for any sound from the room. Hearing none, she felt Mike obviously did not want to talk to her too, so perhaps he had found it necessary to leave the room.Well, she is not hurt. She prefers it that way. Liza thought with a shrug while opening the door quietly.Entering the room, she honestly did not see Mike until she was almost at her bed. Stopping abruptly, she looked into Mike’s eyes and her heart crumbled.Kiss the hurt away…*****Mike frowned!“But...but I... Liza.” Mike was short of words so he stopped to take a calm breath to control himself.‘Honestly, he feels like strangling Liza right now, like what is she trying to do to him? Give him heart attack?’ Mike thought in a mental groan of frustration.“There is no Liza about it darling. Did you or did you not sack me yesterday?”Raising his head so fast he almost had a headache, Mike stared into Liza’s eyes and when he saw the mischievous smile dancing in her eyes, he gave a deep groan. Holy cow!“Aha Liza darling, but I already apologised and I also told you I meant none of those words. It was just to stop you from thinking about anything but your health and how to get better.” He explained softly.“Hmm Liza darling, but I already apo
Doctors are God'S gifts to human… ***** The following day, Mike was having lunch with Liza in the privacy of their room when the doctor came in to check on Liza.Moving to the window so as to give them the needed privacy, Mike nevertheless listened as the doctor professionally asked Liza some questions.‘How’s she feeling? Does her head hurt? Any lingering headache or body pain?’Unable to pretend a non interest in her welfare, Mike turned to both the doctor and Liza. Watching the look on Liza’s face, Mike waited with bated breath to hear the answers she would give to those questions which the doctor asked.Seeing the tensed look on Mike’s face, Liza smiled and told the doctor she was fine. Except for slight headache when she did too much, she was feeling better every day, there was nothing to worry about, she assured the doctor.To every soul in the room, from the look the young lady
A word of thanks is a magic word…****** Receiving and understanding the deep message the doctor just passed to her, Liza grew whiter in the face and then, as if she was fighting an unseen battle, she braced her shoulder before lifting her eyes to the doctor. Then she gave a smile so beautiful that not only Mike but also the doctor was amazed.‘What a super smile this woman got packed in her small body!’ They all thought in wonder.“You are right doctor, what should be important to me at the moment is my health, how to get better and back on my feet. And most importantly, how to appreciate the good friends I have around me by staying strong.”Liza told the doctor with a smile but they all knew by friends, she was really talking about the man beside her since she has no other friend.“Good! I am very glad to hear that. Please, continue your interrupted lunch while I excuse myself.” The doctor nodded while mo
An arrogant man will always dislike pomposity in others…*****Entering the manager’s tiny hole of an office without a knock, Tom noticed the man was not surprised to see him.Probably, because the manager was also a loser, he could recognise fellow losers whenever he saw them.Frowning in deep anger and distaste, Tom coldly told the man he would take the job.But when the scrawny man responded with “of course” in that croaky voice of his, Tom almost rammed his hand down his throat. To hell with the job!But remembering he had nowhere to sleep, he gave a short nod while moving outside to sit and wait.Hell! This is definitely going to be a long period in his life. And why? Because he’s a selfish son of a devil who couldn’t love and cherish the good woman the good Lord gave him.For the first time in a long while,
Observative people are dangerous… ****** “Don’t you think this is nice?” She asked with a contented smile as she closed her eyes to inhale the fragrance in the air.“Very nice.” Mike responded, even though his eyes were more on Liza than the garden.“Hmm.” Even though Liza’s eyes were closed, she knew Mike was not looking at the garden because she could feel that tingling effect on her face and body which meant Mike’s intense gaze was centred on her. Again!“The garden, Mike. Concentrate on the garden and stop being romantic.” Liza told him with a smile.“Ouch, that hurts.” Mike told her in mock frown even though he was trying not to laugh.“You will survive it. You are Mike Stanford.”“Yes but even Mike Stanford has feelings you know.” Mike told her quietly after remembering that long time ago she told her god forsaking boyfriend, Tom, that she could never date her boss
Desire is like a raging fire…*****Deciding it’s time they move on so Liza can stretch her limps and see more of the hospital, Mike slowly got up from the garden stool and grabbing Liza, he pulled her to his body.Holding unto Mike’s hand to keep from falling as he pulled her up, Liza placed her palm on his chest in a quick move so as to balance her weight but at the same time Mike moved to steady her with his body and before Liza knew what was happening, they were standing together, chest to chest and thighs to thighs.Raising her head up in an unconscious look of passion, Liza breathtakingly gazed straight into Mike’s eyes, and seeing the flushed smoky look in Mike’s eyes, Liza involuntarily wet her dry lips with her tongue.But unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, that action was like throwing fuel into fire because immediately Mike saw that
A Master is always a calculator…******Seeing that there was sense in Liza’s request, Suzanne agreed while Mike watched helplessly in frustration.Unable to disagree with Liza, Mike grew tensed, wondering what to do. Knowing the best thing was to stay in the room with them so as to monitor Suzanne and censor her words while he placed order for their lunch, he also knew that would not be easy.He could not be coughing and interrupting every time Suzanne opened her mouth. For a smart woman like Liza, she would definitely know something was wrong and that would not be a good thing.‘Oh dammit, why can’t she stay in her house? Or better still, why didn’t she call before coming? Fuck unreasonable neighbours, dammit!’ Mike thought in disgust.Seeing that the two women were waiting for his agreement, Mike gave a grim smile and nodded.Walking leisurely
A brain is an intelligent machine… ***** Seeing that Suzanne was watching her, Liza quickly turned off her thought and gave a slight chuckle.“Beat a thief? Aha let’s be glad you did not see them then. It would not be funny to have both of us in the hospital with a battered body.” Liza told her with a smile and Suzanne laughed.When Mike entered the room, he saw the two women laughing and immediately he felt a relief in his chest. What he was expecting he really did not know but he had walked into the room with a readiness to do anything he had to do to protect his woman.‘God really loves Suzanne’ He thought just as his eyes met hers across the room. Intercepting the angry look in her eyes, Mike ignored her to smile at Liza.He knew he had been harsh on her in his rush to protect his woman, but he was not sorry.A man has got to do what he has to do to protect his own. It’s an Alpha’s rule
