The Temptations

Kayleigh's pov

Once we arrived at his house, we were greeted by his trusted butler Gary at the door. He picked up Haley in his arms and guided me towards a familiar direction which turned out to be his room. I stopped in my tracks and called out his name, "Eddie why am I take to your room? Don't you have many rooms in this big house and besides I am not sharing a bed with you!" The smile on his face immediately dropped and sadness covered his face, "I am having all the rooms renovated so my room and Haley's nursery is the only ones ready for now! You can sleep on the bed, I will sleep on the couch!" Before I could say anything he walked and opened his bedroom door for me. I felt weak so I immediately laid down on the bed and pulled up the duvet till my neck while Eddie walked back towards the door then turned to face," Why don't you get some rest while I go and show Haley her room and also Gary will bring our bags in sometime." I nodded and drifted off to sleep curling up in the bed. I woke up when it was dark outside. I slid out of the bed and went to see Haley, I walked around the house trying to figure out where the room was but I heard distinct sound of Eddie and Haley from downstairs, I found Haley sitting on the kitchen counter and Eddie feeding her oatmeal porridge, He was making her giggle and eat while she was enjoying her time with him. I stood there observing them while a smile played on my lips, he soon noticed me and spoke to Haley "Look princess mommy is finally awake!" I walked towards them and pulled a chair towards the kitchen counter and sat. He picked up the now empty bowl and walked towards me, kissed my temple before walking away casually as if he does it every day. I tried covering my shock and talked about something else, "Where is Gary and other staff?" He answered without looking at me, "I see you still remember him, I gave few days off to entire house staff so that you won't be uncomfortable!" I gaped at him in shock, 'Is there anything he is hiding or he just want his staff to gossip about me or is he ashamed of me?' He came back with a serving bowl in one hand and two plates in other after placing it on the table he circled around and sat next to me. I opened the lid to see wok tossed rice just the way I liked it with baby corn, broccoli, zucchini and sprig onions. My face lit up in a smile, "Oh my god, please don't tell me you made this!" He blushed his face turning in to a shade of red showing off his dimples, "Alright I won't!" I took the bowl and served some rice in his plate then on my plate and I must say it was the most delicious wok I have ever eaten and I couldn't help but moan on every bite I took. Once we finished dinner he didn't let me do any of the chores, he insisted that one of his maid will come tomorrow to do it so he picked up Haley and dragged me with him to show me Haley's nursery. I was surprised to see the room, he made sure to get every stuff toy ever existed in a toy store and painted the room pink and white making it look like it just popped out of some dream world. I sat on the window seat while he tucked her in and read her a bedtime story. I was in awe seeing him so changed, making my favourite meals, taking care of Haley so well. In-fact I don't even have to tell him what he needs to do, it's like he already took lessons on how to take care of a child! By the time he finished reading the story she was fast asleep, he placed the book in the tiny bookshelf in the corner and walked towards me with a smile, he finished the distance between us touching my forehead with the back of his hand and suddenly his smile vanished and something which looked like concern, covered his face "Holy shit! Kay you have high fever. Let's get you to bed and let me call a doctor!" Before I could protest he swept me off my feet and carried me to bed. I protested that I didn't need a doctor and that I will be fine once I take my medication and get some sleep but he wasn't convinced until he spoke to the doctor over the phone. Once he got off the call he helped me take my medicine and tucked me in. I wasn't sleepy just yet so I just my eyes and laid there until he went in the bathroom. I opened my eyes and just starred at ceiling, sometime later he walked out of the shower wearing nothing but a towel while I watched him walk towards the closet he abruptly turned towards me and I quickly shut my eyes close. I released a breath of relief and kept my eyes close again as I knew he will walk out any minute now. A minute or two later I heard the click of the door, after that I could feel him walking around the room so I slowly opened my eyes to find him walking towards me wearing nothing but a grey boxer shorts while holding a blanket. He dropped the blanket on the couch adjacent to the bed and then he bent a little over me to pull the pillow from his side of the bed without leaving the eye contact. I quickly shut my eyes when I heard him speak as he stood over me, "Like what you see princess?" I panicked, "I didn't see anything" the turned around so my back faced him to hide the crimson on my cheek. I guess it was the medicine that made me react this way, I swear if it weren't for this medicines then I wouldn't have been so tempted to look. He spoke with humour audible in his voice "you can turn around, it's alright. I already saw you blushing!" I was reluctant for a moment but I turned around to find sitting on the couch with a smirk plastered on his face but his smirk vanished covering it with something I couldn't understand. I tried to break the silence, "Thank you for taking care of us, it means a lot!" His eyes grew darker as he spoke softly while he laid down on the couch, "I would never let anyone else take care of my girls!" with that he faced the ceiling and pretended to sleep.
