Chapter 73 - Need Your attention (1/2)

Stefan carried Summer to the kitchen. He could smell something nice and delicious. The smile spread through his face without realizing it.

For Stefan, it felt like being home, a real home. He thought of his mother's home outside of Boston. Someday he would take her to see his mother.

He paused at this thought. It was the first time in his life that Stefan thought about taking a woman to see his mother. He knew his mother would like her. She had something special in her. The lovely face that made people recognize at first sight, and then some quality inside, there was something more than the pretty face about this woman. But he was lazy to find words to describe. He was not a poet who using too many fancy words to describe a single rose.

The slender figure was standing in front of the counter. She had just finished making something in the pot. Her beautiful face lifted up when she saw who was walking in.

”Who allows you to get up?!”

She immediately scolded at him. ... Stefan ignored her question. If he didn't get out of bed, he probably would get a rash all over just like those two idiots predicted.

Now Stefan had learned that there was nothing worse than being ill in bed. Only half an hour of lying down and did nothing it made him sick and bored to death. And especially, risking not to have steamy sex with the woman who now looking at him fiercely.

”Summer misses his mommy. When you smell something nice, it makes you hungry, huh my boy?”

He said to Summer and avoided to look at her.

Wirata looked at the tall figure, wearing a black T-shirt and shorts, he looked relaxed. Summer turned and looked around and sniffing as if to ask where was the yummy smell from?

”Arf!”. He made a noise to Stefan.

”Do you want to eat porridge, too? I cooked it for your poor daddy and everybody also can have some and including you, of course.”

Wirata said to her cute puppy. He tried to lick Stefan's face.

”Your father is badly injured. Tonight he will have to lie still and behave himself. Otherwise, he will recover very slowly. ” She talked to the puppy but her eyes were staring at him.

Stefan thought how accurate Ben and James were! See? She would force him to lie still all night!

No way! Not a chance! ... So he should act like he got better now!

”In fact, daddy feels a lot better now. Look! One! Two! Three!...”

He said and lifted Summer up and down in the air with one hand as if the puppy were a dumbbell! Wirata widened her eyes in shock.

”Hey! Stop! What are you doing?!!”

She shouted. Stefan didn't stop but continued to show off that he was recovering quick and lifted Summer higher.

She looked concerned about him. Stefan thought then smiled.

”Don't do that to my puppy! He's scared of the height! He is shocked now. Let him down now! ”

She shouted. Stefan stopped smiling immediately.

She concerned about the puppy, not him!

”Hey, don't worry. He likes it. I do this often. Tell your mommy that you are a man. Don't treat him like a puppy too much. You're spoiling him.”

He argued with a broody face. Wirata stood there, staring at him. The tall figure walked back and forth and lifted Summer up and down. Then doing stretching. Wirata frowned.

”Doesn't that hurt to twist like that? I told you that do not move too fast. You're really stubborn. Go sit now and eat. I will give you some painkillers. ”

She ordered. Wirata was not sure what to do and how to deal with the man in front of her. The earlier hour he was yelping like he was so much in pain. But now, he acted as if he was okay.

”I feel much better already. When I got off the bed and did a stretching like this...”

He showed her by stretching and twisting his body.

”Suddenly, my bone made a loud noise like...QUACK! QUACK! Hm, creaking sound, kind of. I thought probably it was the bone slid back into place ... So, right now, I don't feel much pain, hardly. Only bruises. And I don't need painkillers. No pain, no pills. Understand?”

He said, tried to make a straight face to confirm his words that he was telling the truth.

Wirata was wondering which piece of bones made the creaking noise like a duck sound!
