Too calm

Victoria's POV 

I felt a strong pain in my head as I slowly opened my eyes

I opened my eyes and stared around the room only to meet eyes with Eric.

I gulped nervously and slowly sat on the bed.

I stared around and noticed nurse Agnes was nowhere around.

I moved my gaze back to him and noticed his green sparking eyes were dull and out of life, I stared at him and noticed there was no emotion on his face, he kept staring at me and didn't even blink.

We stayed there in an awkward silence until I decided to speak.

''You are back.'' I asked while biting my lips.

He stared at me with a pale look before he spoke up 

''Don't you want me back.'' he asked in a cold low tune

''Not really, just that I wasn't expecting you.'' I spoke nervously

''I told nurse Agnes that I will be back by today, so why were you not expecting me.'' he spoke in a calm tune, but his anger could be noticed

It was obvious he knew I left the hospital and got myself drunk.

I gulped and looked away, we sat there in silence until nurse Agnes walked in.

''I see you are finally awake.'' she flashed me a warm smile before giving a plate of food to me.

''You must be hungry, eat something.''

''Thank you.'' I opened the plate of food and took a spoon of it in my mouth.

I chewed slowly and nervously as I noticed Eric's piercing eyes on me.

I lowered my head to the ground and kept on eating, with neither of us saying a word.

I eat silently and nervously until I was through.

''I have to go.'' he muttered those words to nurse Agnes, stood up from the chair and left without looking my way.

I sighed heavily and stared at the door, for strange reasons I wish he wasn't gone. I wish he would talk to me, touch me or even smile at me

''Is he angry.'' I murmured those words to myself, but nurse Agnes heard me

She shook her head and gave me a glass of water.

''Maybe he is just tired after a long trip.'' she tried assuring me, but I knew it wasn't true, the look on his face wasn't that of tiredness, but it feels like he was angry with me.

I grumbled and stood up from the bed, I checked the time and noticed it was 6pm already, I did not know I could spend so much time sleeping.

I stepped into the shower, pulled my clothes and stepped into the shower.

I put on the warm shower and bath slowly with Eric in my thoughts.

I was expecting him to yell and shout at me for going out from the hospital and getting myself drunk.

But instead he was so calm about it and didn't say a word about it.

I dried my body with a towel, put on clean clothes before leaving the bathroom.
