I could hear rapid footsteps of someone pacing in the room. My head was pounding and I felt like I could sleep forever.

My eyelids felt heavy and I peeled them open to see a dark room as a shadow paced at the foot of the bed.

If it weren't for the scent that engulfed the room I would be screaming and kicking things right now.

"Raymond?" I asked in a husky voice. How long was I sleeping for?

He stopped pacing and turned to look at me with a glint of confusion in his eyes like he couldn't believe I was here.

His hair looked like he was running his hands through it too much.

His eyes had dark circles under them like he hasn't slept for a while.

In conclusion, he looked like shit. Attractive shit.

He slowly walked up to me and said "What's the last thing you remember?"

I recalled the last memory I had and replied "I was feeling dizzy when I was in the kitchen."

"Why don't you take care of yourself?" He asked pain lacing his voice.

"What?" I asked, bewildered.

"You fainted." He said and I looked up at him still confused as to why that happened.

"You fainted because there weren't sufficient nutrients in your body. Now the heaps of food you cook.. Why don't you eat?" He asked in a pained voice as he sat at the edge of the bed looking at me with a heartbreaking expression.

Now in a situation like this, one would say something like they're sorry. But I said "Are you going to go all Christian grey on me and start feeding me?"

And for the second time since I've met him i heard his beautiful laugh and this time it made me laugh.

"What kind of feeding are you referring to love?" He asked.

Realising the reference I made I flushed deep red. I'm sure feeding me from his mouth is something we would both enjoy but it feels like it's never gonna happen as he always keeps pushing me away.

"You didn't eat a lot before I met you did you?" He asked all amusement gone from his face replaced by a cold exterior.

Wow, he's bipolar.

I just shrugged and said " I was never hungry."

He sighed rubbing his forehead. Then he got up and bent down placing his warm lips on my forehead making me feel like butterflies exploded in my stomach and I felt all giddy inside.

"I'm gonna get you some vitamins and something to eat." He said.

With butterflies still fluttering in my stomach and my face beet red I smirked, yes I smirked and said "cereal?"

He grinned at me making the butterflies turn into bloody Eagles and said "it's a surprise."

I smiled and fell back on the bed as he left the room.

I snuggled into the bed breathing his scent in as once again I drifted into oblivion.
