"Good night, Mr. and Mrs. Mariano," Spoke madame Luise and with those final words, she then began making her way out of the room.
It was now later in the evening, around midnight and madame Luise had arrived hours earlier to assist me with the pills prescribed by the doctor. She was here to explain the instructions so that I would be able to give him the correct pills without her assistance.
And after hours of explaining, Madame Louise had decided to go and rest so she would be able to save some energy for tomorrow for the late of the night was drawing closer.
And now that she had left, Mr. Mariano and I were the only ones that remained in the room, which meant it was now time for me to do what I was instructed to do.... to persuade him to take his pills.
So, taking a deep breath, I began making my way over to the man, whose eyes were still glued to his phone as he remained lying in his bed but it was not long before those eyes of his finally averted from his phone and to my face as he heard me approaching.
I slowly breathed out, inhaling once more as I now stood in front of his bed.
His chocolate eyes were now looking directly into mine as he sat up and placed his phone away. "Do you need something?" he continued in his deep voice, his attention now entirely on me.
Upon hearing his words, my throat unconsciously cleared itself and my head slowly nodded on its own as the bottle of pills I was holding in my hands was then slowly revealed by my clenched fingers.
"Y-your pills" I stuttered out. As I continued to stand in front of him, fear began to creep in I was sure it was visible on my face by this point...but my words did not seem to affect him at all, for his expression remained unchanged...and he only continued to stare at me, an indication to "continue."
And so, hesitantly, I did.
"...you must...take these..." Muttered myself. My words slowly faded from my lips as my hands brought the few pills closer to him...and then...
Silence....
For a brief moment, there was complete silence, which only added to the tensions...but then, finally, there was a shift in emotion in his face, which made me feel relieved for a second...until I saw that...
...it was not a good one.
He appeared to be a little more...irritated...
...by me?
I gulped as fear overtook me in a matter of seconds. Holding my breath, my gaze remained fixed on a slightly irritated face that soon opened its mouth and spoke.
"I don't need it" His voice had darkened as he spoke, exacerbating my fear by a million times.
Gosh, He looked terrifying...and enraged over...some pills...
