Chapter 111 - I want to eat you (1/2)

”Lie down now; you need to be sane to go to the hospital.”

Douglas said, adjusting her bed so she could rest.

Michelle lay down and closed her eyes; she was already weak from crying too much.

...

'' You're crying as though you've known her your whole life, it is okay, she's in a better place now.''

Nicklaus consoled Tiana, who was still crying like a baby after watching the news. He didn't know how a wonderful night turned so mournful.

'' She was beautiful. How could she die like that? Life is so unfair! ''

She whispered, her tears staining his shirt.

Nicklaus sighed; seeing that she wouldn't stop crying, he patted on her back.

Tiana didn't know when she slept off, the next day, when she woke up; Nicklaus was nowhere to be seen.

Her eyes squinted as she sat up weakly from the bed, looking around the room, when she did not still see him; she looked at the wall clock and saw it was past eleven.

She was about standing up from the bed when she heard the door creak open and Nicklaus walked in with a tray in his hands.

'' Good morning, did you sleep well? ''

He asked as he walked towards her, placing the tray on the side stool, he sat beside her on the bed.

Tiana smiled when she saw what was on the tray_ buttermilk waffle, Bacon and Egg Sandwich with a cup of orange juice. But her smile dwindled when she remembered what happened the previous night, and she shook her head.

''So sorry okay, I made something for you to make you feel better.''

He said, raising the tray and placing it on the bed.

Tiana couldn't help smiling,

'' Did you make these? '' She asked, gazing at the contents of the tray, her eyes filled with joy.

''Yeah.'' Nicklaus nodded, and she blushed.

'' So cute! You're the best. ''

She blew him a kiss and started eating.

'' God, this tastes so good. Mm. '' she complimented, giving him a thumbs up.

Nicklaus smiled; after a while, he spoke;

'' You'll have your tattoo today; the tattooist will come around soon. ''

Tiana's eyes widened.

''Really? ''

Nicklaus nodded;

''God, my boyfriend is so sweet and thoughtful, if you continue like this; I don't think I'll be able to live without you''

Nicklaus laughed at her facial expression, which looked so cute;

He leaned closer and pecked her cheeks; ''that's right, I don't want you to live a single day without me. ''

Her eyes rose to him and they locked in his piercing gaze; a deep blush washed her cheeks when she saw his eyes fall to her lips and his Adam's apple bobble.

''Aish, go away, you're so distracting!''

She pushed him lightly and Nicklaus laughed before sitting back in his position, he watched her eat, smiling contentedly;

Tiana glanced at him a few times and caught him staring at her unwaveringly; her eyes fluttered and she remembered she didn't invite him to join her;

''Eat with me. ''

She said, placing the tray in between them;

Nicklaus shook his head and shifted it back to its position;

''No, I am not hungry. ''
