“You shouldn’t take milk or anything sugary until you’re all healed up.”
“Don’t worry, doc. I’ll make sure of that.”
“Since Lorenzo is in good hands,we’ll get going now.”My Dad announced.
“Thanks for stopping by.” Lorenzo said.
My dad smiled at but I scowled back.
It’s not what they think!
I’m just taking care of him because he just had surgery.
It’s the right thing to do.
I left the hospital to get food prepared for Lorenzo and when I ca back, he was sitting up on the bed.
“You can sit up now?”
“Yeah, the doctor said since I farted, I could be discharged tomorrow”
“Wow, you farted?”
He winced. “Darn. I didn’t want to tell you about that.”
“I wonder how bad it slled.”
“Shut up. Where’s the food? I’m starving.”
I hurriedly dished out the al.
“Did you prepare it?” He asked.
I frowned.”No, Flora did.”
Should I learn how to cook?
“She said she wishes you a quick recovery.”
He smiled. “I take it as you didn’t yell at her too much.”
“When did I ever yell at her?”
He grimaced.
“Look, I only gave her normal corrections that bosses give to their employees.”
“If you choose to put it that way.”
“Can you please feed ?”
“Enzo, your hands weren’t operated on,eat by yourself.” I snapped.
“Please.”
Sighing, I took hold of the cutlery and started feeding him.
Each ti he chewed,he would smile at .
“What’s so amusing?” I asked.
“You. It’s as if you’re a different person right now. Since yesterday, you’ve been so cool headed and it’s making wish you were...”
I dropped the cutlery on the tray.
Is he seeing as a weak woman now?
“Eat by yourself.” I announced, stood up and sat on the couch far away from him.
“Seriously? I didn’t say anything for you to get mad.”
I ignored him.
“Fine, I’m sorry.”
I brought out my cellphone and started browsing through the internet.
“Iron lady.” He called.
I watched him take hold on the cutlery.
“anie.” He teased eating by himself.
I tucked out my tongue at him.
“You have a nice tongue. I can still rember how it...”
“Shut up and eat.” I cut in, uneasily.
He chuckled.
A knock sounded from the door.
“Co in.” I said, thinking it was the doctor.
But Allegra walked in with a lunch box.
Can’t she just leave him alone for one second?
Realizing she’s going to go close to him and maybe feed him.
I stood up and walked back to the stool.
“Hey, Lorenzo, how are you feeling?” She asked.
“Good, are....”
“Honey, why didn’t you tell to co feed you?”
His jaw dropped as I took the cutlery from him.
Allegra stood there and watched feed him.
After a while of waiting,she finally said.
“Em, I will co back later.”
You better not co back.
And then she left.
“Oh my....”
“Don’t start.” I warned before he could tease with what just happened.
******************
The following day, he was discharged.
The doctor advised that he should stay at ho for a few weeks.
He couldn’t walk properly as he was still healing up.
We got into the car and the driver drove off.
“Enzo...you...”
“Yesterday, you called honey. Now it’s Enzo.”
“Forget I said that.”
“You also went back to feeding when Allegra walked in. Were you jealous?”He asked.
“Why should I be?”
“Then why did you call honey?”
“Just forget about that, okay?”
He rested his head on my shoulder.
“It’s so hard to understand you.”
I don’t even understand myself any longer.

*LORENZO*
I can say that I enjoyed my stay at the hospital with Iron Lady around.
When we got ho, one of my guards got our things then we walked into the house.
"WELCO HO, Enzo.”
I smiled seeing these words on a banner.
Then Flora, Es, Anna and my two guards walked in holding different parcels that was obviously for .
I had gotten pretty close to my employees these past few days.
At first, they were wary that I was nice to them, as it appears, the real Enzo wasn’t nice.
But overti, I guess they thought the accident changed .
"It was Flora’s idea. She wanted to surprise you.” Mona inford .
I was so touched and special.
"Thanks, everyone.” I said, gratefully.
They led to the dinning room where they had made a feast.
I sat down and Mona sat beside .
The others placed their gifts on the table and were about leaving.
"The celebration isn’t over, you all should eat with us"
Oh shit. Is that okay with Iron Lady?
I’m sure she hasn’t eaten with employees before.
I placed my hand above hers from under the table.
She tensed, slightly.
“Is that okay with you?” I whispered.”They would just eat with us, that’s unharmful.” I mouthed.
She nodded.
"Alright, you all can eat with us.”
Flora smiled at and they all sat down.
I reached for a pancake but she took it from .
"The doctor said you shouldn’t eat anything with sugar or milk till you’re all healed up."
I pouted, staring at her with puppy eyes.
The pancakes looks so delicious.
"Don’t sweat it, Enzo.” She snapped.
And the others laughed at definitely amused by her sharp tongue.
I chuckled too, sad that I can’t eat what I want.
"Since you want to go against the doctor’s orders. I’ll feed you with what you should eat instead.”
I felt my face flushed.
In front of all these people?
Who am I to object?
As she fed , the employees sotis teased us and made funny remarks which made us to laugh from ti to ti.
Including Mona.
She looked so happy.
Was it crazy to wish that I could fall sick often so she would be this way all the ti?
