CHAPTER 51:TAKE CARE

Mia paused in her steps when she got to the kitchen. she silently watch the man in the kitchen who was wearing an apron as he cooked. She admired his black locks that fell to the side of his face, disheveled. Mia wanted to run her hands through his soft hair,he looked elegant in there. She was in daze as she took in his beauty.

As if feeling her gaze on him Ryan looked towards the entrance of the kitchen found her standing there whilst giving her a gentle smile. Mia gulped in nervousness feeling like she had been caught doing something wrong. The blood rush up to her face that made her cheeks red "what the hell was wrong with her?".

Her legs moved to enter the kitchen that was filled with aroma of delicious delicacy,her mouth watered by the smell"can I help?"she asked

"no you can just sit down don't worry"Ryan replied seeing as she pouted her lips like a child. Reluctantly Mia walked up to the to the sit on one of the chairs there that had a round table at the middle. She feels so useless and watched as Ryan cooked with so much elegance. She earlier noticed that neither Lucy nor Jason was home

She heard Ryan walking up to her, standing at the opposite side of the table. His tall well built body towered her that she had to Crane her neck to look at him. He wasn't putting on the apron,Mia noticed he was just wearing casual home dresses.

"ready to eat?"she heard Ryan say and before she could reply her stomach growled only louder this time. She held her stomach, looking down on her lap as she felt embarrassed. A low chuckle escape Ryan's throat when he walked to the other side of the kitchen.

In no time he came back with two plates of dishes he had made. The sight was enough to make her mouth water as the aroma went through her nose whilst closing her eyes The pasta Ryan had made smelled delicious and was very pleasing to the eye

Grabbing her fork , taking a potion of the pasta she let the food linger on her tongue closing her eyes and slowly swallowing it. She looked up to see a pair of eyes staring at her. Ryan had been watching her as she ate,there as no doubt that she looked even beautiful

"what the hell am I thinking?"he scolded himself concentrating on his own food as he ate. When they were done ,Mia wasn't allowed to do the dishes and Ryan had stopped her from doing so,she tried to reason and refuse but Ryan was just as stubborn and Mia had to oblige.

"hmm Ryan"Mia called and once Ryan looked at her with full attention she continued.

"I have some work to do so I'm going o campus for a while*she said. There was a pin drop silence for a long time. Mia was starting to feel dissappointed as Ryan may not let her go. She plazyed with her fingers and was preparing to tell Ryan that if he doesn't want her to go then she won't.

"when are you going?"he asked now looking at her

"tommorow morning"she replied getting a little excited. Ryan looked like he was in deep thought with Mia looking at him, eagerly waiting for his reply.

"when will you be back?"he asked again

"by tomorrow evening or the day after",she replied.

A sigh left his lips"okay I'll drop you off tomorrow but you need to get enough sleep today"he advised as she nodded

Mia had spent most of her time sleeping and eating that she barely felt tired at all ,the hump in happiness while she grinned giving that childish behavior.

Mia began to feel better and Ryan allowed her to do a few work but not much. She was elated when Ryan agreed for her to go to campus. She needed to do a few things there. Jason and Lucy were not home leaving just her and Ryan, grandpa had gone out of town. She woke up early enough to prepare breakfast,Ryan was not out of his room yet so she concluded that he may be sleeping as it is,he barely gets any rest.

By the time she was done,Mia placed the food on the dining table when Ryan arrived,he looked refreshed as he walked to the table. After exchanging greetings they both proceeded to eat. There was fruits placed on the table,Ryan. stretched his hand to take the apple that has been chopped to little pieces by Mia,it was like she knew he was going to eat it.

Ryan. took a bite as Mia grabbed her fork to eat,Ryan told her that they would go to the hospital to do a little check up. Mia didn't mind and she only nodded.

They went straight to the hospital as Mia was lead to the ward where she would be tested. After everything was done,she got to know that she shouldn't think much of stress herself. Mia didn't want any complications with her health,there sho oblige.

It did take long for her to get go the campus. They stopped a little far away from there. Mia took of her seatbelt, prepared to leave when Ryan held her hand making her heart skipped. Their gaze met and there was something in Ryan's eyes that she couldn't describe. His hand was warm against her skin and for split second Mia felt a strange feeling building up inside her.

"take care of yourself" his words brought her back to reality. Mia smiled at him before saying"thank you".

Although not okay with the idea of not dropping her off in front of the campus directly. Ryan didn't force her and understood the reason for it. He drove off when Mia got out of the car with her bag in hand. She watched as the car drove till it was out of sight.

Swiftly turning around,she headed straight to the campus,to see a few people there, moving around each having their work to do.
