ADDY'S POV

Waking up to the smell of sanitizer and seeing the white ceiling I knew that I was in a hospital. I shut my eyes again, I needed more sleep. Just then I felt someone's touch and when I opened my eyes I saw him there, sitting beside my bed with my hands in his.

He was applying an ointment to my rashes, his clothes were tattered and rumpled and then I remembered how he struggled to save me and I couldn't help but smile at him. His hair looked ruffled but still he managed to look so good.

Come to think of it I've never really taken a closer look at this man in front of me.

He had full lashes and full eyebrows, a sharp jawline with a perfect shaped full lip, he looked so serious right now applying the ointment, and  looked like a student in a maths competition.

"That tickles.." I said to him with a smile to see him raise up his head and return the smile, his smile was like that of an angel, a seductive angel, a smile that would make you sin. A smile that would make you drunk in love, I don't think I've ever seen him smile genuinely before or maybe I just haven't noticed because I've been busy with my fiancee

"You're awake, finally. How do you feel, does your head still hurt" he asked stroking my hair. His touch was so gentle that I had to close my eyes to feel his warmth.

"Just a little, where's mum"

" I didn't tell her anything but she kept calling to check on you"

"Did you take any of her calls" Addy asked because she knew her mother would be more worried if she didn't take her calls.

"I did, I told her that we're together and she need not worry"

"Oh okay. Sooo?"

" The doctor said to take pain killers, that you might have a headache when you wake up" he said as he stood up and went to the other side of the room to get the water and the drugs.

"And my hands?" I asked

"Poison ivy" he said and clicked his tongues afterwards

"Did you apply the ointment" I asked

"Didn't you see me, wasn't that what you wanted. For me to touch you huh" he said with a smirk

"Oh please, why would I be dying for your touch" I said and took the drugs from his hands, swallowed the drugs with the water while he kept rubbing my back

"Dunno so many reasons, one of which is because I'm just so eye catching and gorgeous" he said fanning himself invisibly

" I think it's the other way round, you're the one dying to touch me because I'm famous and a princess."

"Yeah yeah, you know you can't lie to yourself . You know what you want and I also know it, I know that you were busy observing me while I applied the ointment. I saw you Addy madam"

"And so what, I just opened my eyes and saw you first,of course I'd wonder who it was that was taking advantage of my situation to feel my skin."

"You don't have the finest skin, you do know that right" he said to me making me scoff

"Hah.. kiss my ass then." I laughed

"Kiss your ass huh?"

"Let's see if my not so fine ass skin won't turn you on"

"Oh what a bad missy you are, you're getting married soon yet you have plans of turning another man on, what a bad little missy"

"Are you scared or are you gay" Addy said smirking

"Oh no I'm not gay, I like girls not guys, please don't say that again" he said shaking his head and hands in a funny way as if trying to get the thoughts of being a gay out of his mind

"So then are you impotent, you can't get turned on"

"Are you kidding me , do you want me to show you how potent I can be. I'm a real man okay, instead of turning me on you'll get turned on."

"That is so impossible...hahaha..I wouldn't even feel a thing if you touched me"

"Are you telling me to touch you Addy, and what do you mean by you won't feel a thing, don't be so sure of yourself" he said with a smirk

"Oh please I'm sure of whatever I say" Addy said rolling her eyes.

"So then should we try it, a little test maybe" he said with bright eyes thinking Addy would refuse and back down. The light in his eyes soon died down when he heard Addy's reply

"Alright then, come on, move closer" Addy said boldly and sat down at the edge of the bed signalling him to come to her with her hands

"Wait what.. what do you mean..what are you doing"

"Are you scared huh scaredy cat, come on I won't bite" Addy said teasing him.

"No no it's not right, you should go to sleep now, your hands still needs to heal so go to sleep right this instant"

"Oh come on Raymond, what are you scared of, come to Mama baby" Addy said smiling and afterwards stuck her tongues out to him teasing him.

Addy is so cheeky...hehehe😁
