Xandra's pov;
Mira and I just saw Nelson off at the airport. I cried a lot when it was actually time for him to board the plane. I was already missing him even when he was yet to leave.
I felt like I was been left again. But I know my cutie will be safe. He'll protect him, I'm sure.
When we came down from the car,we saw Shawn waiting by our door,he was pacing up and down. I was taken aback.
" Xandra, is this not that guy,the one who saved Nelson?".
" Un".
" What's he doing here?".
" Huh, I, I don't know. How would I know? By the way, didn't you say you had some work to do, you should get to it, you don't have to come inside".
" What? When...".
" Just go ahead,ok? Don't worry about me".
" Who said I'm worried about you?". I pinched her side discreetly.
" Ah yes, I'll go now. They are probably already wondering why I'm late". She said quickly and went back inside the car and drove away.
" Oh, it's you. What are you doing here".
He turned back after hearing my voice.
" Ah yeah, I was, I wanted to see you. I mean, I heard you were not well, so I, I just wanted to check on you". He rushed as if trying to defend himself.
' He looked so cute when rambling like that'. I smiled.
" Oh,is that right? Do you want to come in and have a seat?". I offered.
I felt like an adult teasing a kid.
" Come in? Sure, yeah". I unlocked the door and held the door open for him.
" Thanks". He mumbled as he took his seat. I sat beside him.
" Do you want some water, or would you prefer coffee".
" Water, water is ok".
" Alright, just a moment". I went to get him some water.
" So,how are you feeling now,are you okay?". He asked.
" I'm all good. How did you know I was sick?". I asked.
He seemed taken aback for a moment.
" Ah, that. I went to see you at your workplace but I was told Mira took a sick leave for you".
" I'm hurt, you didn't even think to visit me in the hospital".
" Hospital? Well, I was, I, Nelson told me you were been given special treatment and you are not allowed to see visitors, that's why I didn't visit". He stammered.
" I was kidding, you don't have to be worked up".
" Oh, yeah, alright". He sighed probably in relief.
" I have a favor to ask you if you don't mind?".
" What can I help you with, just tell me".
" Well,the noodles you made for me the other day, I loved it. I was wondering if you could make me some again".
" Just that? I'll make you a whole table of food". He replied enthusiastically.
" Really, you will? Thank you. I'm sorry for asking too much".
" Not much at all, not much. I'll start cooking right away so you can eat earlier".
" Alright".
I got teary eyed as I watched him cooking from behind. He happened to turn back at the same time my tear dropped.
" What's wrong,did you hurt yourself?". He asked all panicked as he ran to my side. Checking me all over.
" I didn't hurt myself". I sniffled with a smile.
" What happened then?". He asked looking everything but relieved.
" It's just, you are so good to me,a stranger, I'm jealous of the woman who will get to marry you".
" What, I, I".
" It's nothing, I just get emotional over nothing this days. I'm fine".
He hugged me.
" It'll be okay, very soon". Tears fell from my eyes.
" Huh".
" I mean, you'll be ok, don't worry too much,ok?".
"Un".
" If it's too much for you,why don't you go ahead and wait in the living room. I'll be done very soon".
" Un".
