(Owen POV)
“Owen, your father called again” my mother said as I froze.
“Why? Didn’t I tell him I’m not interested in talking to him?” I said as I heard as sigh.
“I know Owen. I also don’t want you to talk to him. But he is your father and I have no say in this. If you want to talk, you can. I won’t oppose” she said her voice quivering.
I turned and walked to her quickly. I sat next to her and grabbed hold of her cold hands and kissed it.
“Mother, you have every right to enter into my decision. You and Alexia is the only reason I live for. Whatever decisions I make in my life is open for suggestion only to you both. He is a cheat who left us suddenly. He hurt me. He hurt you. I can never forgive him” I said, my voice filled with venom for the person.
“I know, sweetheart. Just be careful. He is very strong and powerful.” She said as I laughed dryly.
“I don’t care. I will do anything to protect my family” I said my heart filled with determination.
“How is Alexia? I tried to wake up when till you come but the medicine was too sedative” she said as I looked at her sadly.
Her body is full of medicine and the doctor doubled the dosage because she is becoming weaker by the minute.
“Heyyooo! Look who’s here!” A voice came followed by constant knocking.
Both of us burst into laughter as I opened the door.
A body slammed into mine as I fell on the ground.
“I missed you, Boyfriend!” Alexia screamed in my ear as I winced.
“Lower you voice, babe. We are in the hospital” I said as she frowned and got up.
“Sorry. I was excited to see you” she said cutely scratching the back of her neck.
“We just met a few hours ago” I pointed out.
“Yes we did. “She said walking to mother.
“Hey Mamma Lucy” she said kissing mother’s cheek before placing two large cover on the table.
“But I made food and I wanted to give it to you guys ASAP” she said excited.
“Is it edible?” I asked as she smacked my arm.
“Don’t eat if you don’t want” she glared as I laughed.
“You know I’m joking” I said as she huffed and turned her head.
“Oh really? Too bad. No food for you” she said as she walked back to the table, swaying her hips teasingly.
I laughed and went and stood next to her. I watched as she took out different containers and place it down.
“Let me go grab the plates” she said as she ignored me and walked to the shelf at the other end.
“Aren’t you both such a cute couple” Mom said laughing as I playfully glare at her.
She laughed more and winked at me as I rolled my eyes.
I swear these two women will be the death of me.
Alexia walked back to us with two plates and I grinned to which she glared.
She opened different container, the smell of the food sets free making my mouth water.
I eagerly waited as she filled both the plates with food. I never thought I was this hungry.
She gave one plate to mother and they took the other and sat next to me. With attitude I may add.
“Um isn’t that mine?” I asked as she raised an eyebrow at me.
“I thought you don’t want it” she said.
“No. Of course I want to eat the food made by my girlfriend” I said as I mentally danced when I saw a small smile edging her face.
“I’m very hungry” I pouted as she sighed.
“Fine. Here” She said as she extended her plate to me.
I happily took it and started to eat.
“Um. This s**t is good” I said at the same time I felt a pain on my head.
“Don’t cuss” Mother said as I rubbed the back of my head while glaring at my giggling girlfriend.
After we ate our food mother made way to the toilet to wash. I turned to Alexia who was closing the container and smirked.
She raised one of her eyebrow at me as I stood up.
I slowly started to advance towards her as she moved back, her face filled with amusement.
I snapped my hands around her waist and put her flush to me as she giggled. I shivered as I felt a wave of shock flow through me.
But instead of worrying about the sparks, I felt relieved and happy.
I put my head into her neck and took a deep breath as she giggled.
“Your stubble tickles” she said as I laughed and rubbed my face more.
She struggled at the ticklish feeling trying to get away but I grip on her tighter.
I stopped tickling and kissed her neck as she shivered. She sighed as her hand tangled with my hair.
“I love you, Owen” she said as I separated and looked at her.
“I love you too” I said as I pecked her lips earning another heartwarming giggle.
Suddenly I felt her tense. I pulled back and looked at her as she closed her eyes as if she had a bad headache.
After minutes she opened her eyes and looked at me in worry.
“I have to go” she said as I looked at her confused.
“Leave? Why?” I asked as she shook her head and pushed me.
A cold feeling washed over me as I no longer felt her in my arms.
“I’m so sorry. Tell Mamma Lucy I said bye” she said before she ran out leaving me confused.
