The first few days after her serious injury had been difficult enough for Charlotte. The doctors ' orders were clear. She had to rest, and would lose one Raw or two in order to return to her duties on perfect health..

Roman wanted to make sure Charlotte didn't do her headwork and follow the doctors ' instructions so he stayed with her. The first few days he looked after her with peculiar care. He didn't her get out of bed unless if it was absolutely necessary, he did take care of her injuries, he  cooked and take her food to bed, they spend hours together chatting.. And the more he knew her the more he fell in love with her. Now he was sure that he was in love with her.

The night before he had fallen asleep with her in her bed. They chatted and fell asleep next to each other. It wasn't the first time it happened, but this time it was different. He opened and rubbed his eyes first. He looked beside him and smiled. Charlotte was sleeping peacefully and snoring lightly.. Her blonde curls  were mixed with the pillow. With his fingers he stroked her hair slowly and smiled. He rose cautiously from the bed he didn't want to wake her. Then he covered her up tightly and went out of the room.

He followed his morning routine and after finishing with bathroom went down to the kitchen to prepare a beautiful breakfast. Meanwhile Charlotte opened her eyes. The strong smell of coffee that pervaded her nostrils made her awake. She stretched her body carefully on the bed. She felt quite better.. The pain had really begun to subside.. She got out of bed and advanced toward the bathroom.. She washed her face and gathered up her hair with a hair clip. Not this time she didn't put her make up on. She felt that there was no need. Near to Roman she felt that she need do nothing of what she was used to. With him she was just herself. Just an ordinary woman. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She went down into the living room and sat down on the sofa. One more morning she wore one of Roman's long comfortable t shirts.

He came out of the kitchen holding the breakfast tray... Charlotte saw him and smiled.

"To the living room!" she cried, and he led the way, holding the tray in the living room. He left the tray on the little coffee table and looked at Charlotte.

"Why did you get up and down alone?"he asked her sternly, but in his eyes it seemed that he was doing it out of interest.

"Because I felt better. and why I got bored all those days in bed. I promise I won't move much," she smiled at him, tossing her lashes playfully.. he shook his head, smiling. A smile from her could easily have melted him. he sat in the chair

"There's coffee, juice, omelet, cake and toast," he told her.

"Hmmm omelet, juice and then coffee," she said, and she took the Cup with the juice in her hands while he took the cup with his coffee in his hands.

"Are you better? are you in any pain?"he asked her somewhat uneasily after first taking a sip of his coffee.

"Don't worry, I'm much better," she smiled at him and settled herself on the sofa. Roman's T-shirt left her long shapely legs uncovered. His gaze fell upon them, travelling slowly across her body..

"No woman looked so sexy and beautiful in my T shirts except you," the words slipped from his lips without he himself realizing it. The thought had sprung from his mind into his tongue without he wanting it. Charlotte blushed and smiled.

"Thank you.. I confess it is quite comfortable.. "she smiled, and he smiled with relief when he realized that she was anything but annoyed at his remark. On the contrary, she liked it.

And not only that he found her beautiful. She liked that for the first time someone was looking after her and taking care of her because they really cared about her. Because for once someone didn't care about her father, about her money. He had nothing to gain from her. And Roman really cared about her.. and he showed it in any way he could. They were enjoying a beautiful morning, making jokes, teasing each other, but the beautiful atmosphere interrupted the bell that was ringing insistently..
