Chapter 19 - Chapter Nineteen: A Quiet Moment

Later that evening, the doorbell rang.

Iris walked over to the door and opened it.

She saw a man in a red vest with a big food package.

"I have a delivery for Mrs Iris."

"That's me." She smiled as she collected the package and signed.

Then he left.

She took the package up to Damien's room, where Sienna and her were staying.

Sienna smiled as she entered.

"He really got it."

Iris chuckled.

She walked over to the bed and sat.

Then, she placed the package on the bed.

"So what do we have?" Sienna asked.

"Well....." she paused, looking through it and bringing it out one by one.

"Some Korean fried chicken, Bulgogi, Tteokbokki, kimchi fried rice, Hotteok, and two cups of strawberry milk."

Sienna picked up the fried chicken.

"These look so good... Aw, he got us each a plate of everything."

Iris chuckled.

"I love your husband." She placed a hand on her chest.

"Girl.... my husband, watch it." Iris chuckled.

"Oh my bad, Mrs Iris Blackwood." Sienna

laughed.

They started eating and talking about everything.

An hour later, they finished eating, and Sienna was already fast asleep.

Iris was still awake.

She went to the kitchen to get water for her medication.

The door opened.

She looked at the door and saw Damien coming in.

"Hey." She said.

He looked at her.

"You should be asleep."

"I couldn't sleep."

"Why is that?"

"I really don't know." She sniffed.

"I feel tired but not tired." She continued.

Damien dropped his jacket on the couch and walked over to her.

He stood in front of her.

"What are you doing?" She stared at him.

"Relax."

He slowly put one hand on her forehead while the other was in his pocket, checking her temperature.

"Do you feel nauseous?"

"A little... but it goes and comes back."

"Have you used your medications?"

She looked at her medication on the kitchen table.

"I was just about to."

He removed his hand from her forehead.

"You can watch TV... you will probably fall asleep on the couch."

He turned and walked back to the couch and picked up his jacket.

"Hm.. I left you some food if you'll like, but of course, if you don't want it, it's fine."

He looked back at her, one eyebrow slightly raised, a faint smirk appearing on his face.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome." She smiled.

He went to the guest room to take a shower.

A few minutes later, he came back downstairs with slightly wet hair, wearing the trousers of his red pyjamas. He was shirtless and holding his phone.

He saw Iris serving some of the food he got her in a plate.

He chuckled.

He walked over to the couch and dropped his phone.

"You're here." Iris said, coming with the food.

She dropped it on the living room table and looked at him.

She saw he wasn't wearing a shirt. Then she quickly walked to the other side of the couch.

"And you're not wearing a shirt." She whispered to herself.

"Does it bother you?" He smirked.

She looked back at him in shock.

"You heard what I..."

"Yeah." He smiled.

She sat on the couch and covered her face.

He laughed and sat beside her.

"Do you want to watch something?"

"Yeah, sure."

He picked up the remote and turned it on.

"Is this fine?"

"Yeah, it is."

He picked up the food and started eating.

A few minutes into the movie, Damien was done eating, and Iris was enjoying the movie.

She laughed at a scene in the movie.

He looked at her and smiled.

He slowly put his arm around her.

She slowly glanced at his arm, feeling her face grow warm.

For that moment, none of them said anything.

They quietly enjoyed the movie as Iris was taking glances at Damien.

Some minutes after that, Iris was slowly falling asleep.

Eventually, she fell asleep.

Her head fell on his chest.

He stared at her and smiled immediately.

He let her sleep for a while.

Then he turned off the television, then carried her in his arms with her arms wrapped around his neck.

He took her to his room, where she was staying for the night.

He opened the door and walked over to the bed. As he was about to lay her down, Sienna came out of the bathroom and saw them.

"Hey." She said.

"Hi."

She walked towards her side of the bed.

"Thanks for taking care of her."

"That's why I'm here." He smiled.

"Hmm.. I'll leave you two to it." He continued.

"Sure."

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight." He said, leaving the room.

Sienna looked at Iris sleep and smiled.

"He really is your husband."
