My Personal Nurse

The night went by very slowly. Andrea could feel him tossing and turning the entire night as she was laying next to him in the bed. He was even groaning in his sleep because of the pain on his left side. Andrea was angry as the painkillers weren't sufficient enough to give him relief.

"Leo, should I call the doctor?" Andrea asked as she can't see her husband in pain.

"No, Princess I'm fine, just sleep," Leo didn't want Andrea to worry about him. Leo knew if he didn't sleep then Andrea would worry about him more, so he acted like he had fallen asleep.

Andrea felt as he had really fallen asleep this time, she heaved out a sigh of relief.

After a tough night, Leo was awoken with the soft touch of his wife's lips on his forehead.

"Hey, Princess," Leo said with a smile.

"Goodmorning Leo. How are you feeling?" Andrea asked.

"I'm feeling better." he lied. He was still feeling the pain in the side.

"Leo, you need to have your breakfast properly and take your medicines on time," Andrea ordered him.

"Yeah, let me brush my teeth first and shave." Andrea nodded in agreement, and Leo walked towards the bathroom.

Just then, Anna brought Leo's breakfast. Andrea told her to put that on the table and Anna did what she said and left.

Leo returned after a few minutes, but he still hasn't shaved. "Even my right arm aches, probably strained it yesterday I guess. Shaving will have to wait."

"Hmmm... Come have breakfast." After saying Andrea left the room.

Leo had already finished breakfast when Andrea returned with a bowl of warm water. She went into their bathroom and brought shaving-gel and Leo's shaving-handle.

"Princess, I hope you will not do what I think you're going to do!"

"I'm exactly going to do what you think I will do!!!" she replied sternly. She took the gel and rubbed it into Leo's face until it formed the lather.

Leo's eyes grew wider as she brought the shaving-blade to his face. "Princess, be careful with that, I don't want you to spoil my handsome face."

"Then you better be quiet... If you don't want any accident to happen."

Leo silently stared at Andrea as she carefully glided the blade from his neck to half of his cheek. Each stroke was done with immense precision, leaving Leo amazed with his wife's unknown talent. She had completed most of his face. There was only a small patch left when Leo flinched. Andrea had almost nicked him with the blade.

On Leo's reaction, Andrea got closer to his cut and wiped off the droplets of blood with her tongue.

"Princess, I don't mind getting cut by you every day, especially if you will treat it like this," Leo commented.

Andrea immediately moved away from him, quickly completed the shaving task and left the room.

She returned a few minutes later with his tablets. "I forgot to give you your medicines," she said as she fumbled while holding the tiny container containing the medicine.

Andrea was still embarrassed of what had happened earlier. Her hands nervously shook as Leo continued to smirk at her.

"Princess, I feel lucky to have you as my personal nurse, with whom I can flirt." Leo winked at her.

Andrea raised her eyebrow and passed him the tablet. "Take it and go for a nap."

Leo took it but didn't agree about the nap. "No time for napping Princess, what I need is a long… Hot shower."

"Hell no, Leo! No way are you going to get water on that wound of yours." Andrea said while furrowing her brows.

"Relax Princess. These bandages are waterproof, so it's safe to have a bath."

Andrea was still not convinced. "Please Leo, Don't! I will give you a nice bed-bath."

"Andrea, aren't you taking this nurse' act a bit too seriously?" Leo asked her amusingly. Andrea gave him a cold stare at this. "Sigh... Princess, can you please call the doctor and ask him if it's all right for me to take a shower?"

"Okay... I will call the doctor." As soon as Andrea moved to make the call, Leo sneaky slipped into the bathroom.

After talking to the Doctor, Andrea turned around saying. "Doctor said that it's fine as long as the water isn't too hot as the steam may open the bandage and water will get into----"

She stopped in the middle of her sentence as she noticed Leo wasn't there. She got very angry at him. And just as she was going to shout his name, she heard the sound of shower coming from the bathroom.

Leo was sure that Andrea would come to check on him, so he left the door unlocked.
