Forever In The Past And Forever In The Future By Neener Chapter 12

Chapter 12

We stay like this for a while until he says, “How about we get you something to eat? You haven’t had anything solid in almost a week.“

I pull away from our comfortable position and think about it.

“Yeah, I’m pretty hungry,” I agree. I don’t actually feel hungry, but I don’t want to make him upset with me either. Not when things are starting to go so well.

“Alright, I’ll make you a little snack. Then we can get the kitchen to bring something up for you.“

“Thank you, I’m just going to freshen up real quick, if that’s okay?“

“Of course. The bathroom is through that door, ” he points to a door at the back of the suite.

He helps me get out of his lap and I make my way to the bathroom. I look in the mirror and realize I’m a mess.

My face is visibly dirty and there is still some dried blood in my tangled hair. I look down and see my hands and arms are just as gross as my face. I sniff the shirt I’m wearing. I smell terrible.

UGH! How embarrassing!

I wash up at the sink as quickly as I can. At the very least to get the dirt off my face, arms, and hands. I don’t have a hair brush or a hair tie, so I try just running my fingers through to smooth it out. It ends up looking worse. Oh my Goddess! The hottest guy on the planet is just outside the door. Of course I look like a feral child! I swallow my pride and head out to the kitchen.

Alpha Bronx is standing in the kitchen cutting berries with a much smaller knife than he had the last time he was in the kitchen.

“Feel better?” he asks, not looking up from what he is doing. “Umm, better enough for now, I guess, ” I reply shyly.

He smiles as he looks at me and nods. He doesn’t seem to notice my messy appearance.

“Umm, just out of curiosity, did you call me ‘Baby’ earlier?” I lean against the counter and ask as he prepares the bowl of fruit salad for me.

A guilty look crosses his face and he rubs his hand on the back of his neck, “Uh, yeah, I guess I did. Is that alright?“

“I think so. I just wasn’t expecting it.“

He has me sit at the breakfast bar of the kitchenette and puts the bowl of fruit in front of me. I smile as I take a piece of strawberry. It tastes amazing. I eat more fruit when all of a sudden, my stomach feels like it is in a weird knot.

“Oww! ” I push the bowl away and grab my stomach.

“What is it, Baby? What’s wrong?” Alpha Bronx comes around the counter and kneels in front of me.

“My stomach, ” I grimace.

His eyes glaze over as he mind links someone. A moment later, a doctor comes to the room. He gets there so fast that I wonder if he was waiting outside the apartment. He starts checking my pulse, looking in my eyes and mouth, and asking me questions.
