My First Ever Love

Ch-28, Back from Hospital

I was still asleep when I felt it, a hand on my face; caressing it. I slowly opened my eyes only to see chocolate brown orbs staring at me; I rubbed my eyes and blinked while he chuckled. 

"Good morning" He greeted me and I grinned replying a very good morning. 

"Did you sleep well?" He asked, and I nodded blushing as I remembered how we slept in each other's arm, and suddenly I remembered why he was here in the first place; my Dad.

"Aiden, did dad come home till now?" I asked getting worried.

"No! Not yet, but he is safe. I got a call from your mom yesterday when you were asleep, to inform you that your dad's with your mom in the hospital." He told me and I released a sigh as I sat up and checked the time, my eyes grew wide when I saw the time.

"Oh My God! It's 8:30 already, we are late for school" I panicked and started running towards the bathroom when he grabbed my arm and spun me around.

"What?" I asked him as I tried to release his grip from my arm.

"Will you stop pulling your arm? Don't worry, your mum told me to let you have the day off when I told her how late you slept since you were worried about them the whole day." He informed as he let go of my arm. I walked back to my bed and flopped on it and Aiden did the same beside me. I looked at him to see him already looking at me, I blushed. 

"Did you know you look cute when you blush?" He asked me.

Why is he doing this? Making me blush continuously. My cheeks must be tomato red by now.

"Oh! I have to wash, so I'm heading to the bathroom" I avoid his question and dash into my bathroom. Ha! Relief

I knew I was right, my cheeks are deep red. Furthermore, I quickly washed my face and had a nice bath. After freshening up, I picked my phone and dialed my mom's number, my dad picked her call after the fourth ring.

"Hello dad, good morning" I greeted happily, and he did the same.

"Why didn't you inform me before going to the hospital? I was so worried." I said pouting even though dad can't see.

"Sorry dear, I was in a hurry to reach the hospital as soon as I heard the news and then after seeing your mom laying in the hospital bed with her leg fractured, I just forgot to call you. Sorry, sweetie for worrying you so much" dad apologised. I understood he was himself in stress from all the office work and now mom's injury.

"It's okay dad, I understand. How is mom now? Is mom discharged yet?"

"Mom's completely fine, don't worry, and no she is not discharged yet, a few more tests are left after that mom's free to come home" Dad explained, and I sighed in relief.

"Okay dad, take care of mom and yourself." I told him before hanging up.

After the call, I sauntered down into the kitchen to find the most fascinating scene; Aiden cooking with his naked back facing me. I stood there admiring the view until Aiden caught me, making me blush for the umpteenth time this morning.

"Um...so what are you making?" I asked after an awkward silence peeping over his shoulder.

"Chocolate syrup pancakes" he answered and my mouth watered.

"Oh...bring it fast then, I'm starving" I told him, and he chuckled, bringing a plate of pancakes with chocolate syrup spread on it. I quickly dug into it as soon as it was placed in front of me.

"Yum... It's tasty. Who taught you to make such delicious pancakes?" I asked after having a bite of the pancake.

"Well... Thank you, my grandma was a great chef. She taught me how to cook before dying."
