Tell me about her

Chapter 34

I woke up and felt arms wrapped around me. Renzo was also sound asleep and was cuddling me while we both slept. I shot up in bed noticing that Elio wasn't in the bed anymore.

"What's going on?" Renzo asked me forcing his eyes open. I had woken him up from jumping out of his embrace.

"Where's Elio?" I asked him and pulled the covers off the bed hoping maybe he was just playing a trick on us.

Renzo sat up in bed just as fast when he realised Elio wasn't in the bed with us.

"Calm down, he's probably somewhere in the house" Renzo said trying to calm me down as he got up from the bed and slid his phone into his back pocket.

"Do you realise the woman that's after us also is somewhere in this house?!?" I said now feeling mad that he was so calm about this and rushed out of the bedroom.

I heard him follow me as I made my way down the stairs.

I heard a kids giggle in the living room and walked in to check it and was happy to see that Elio was there playing with Esther's children.

I let out a breath when I saw Elio sitting on the floor playing with his toy plane. I walked over to him and picked him up.

"See I told you he's fine" Renzo said as I hugged Elio.

"It's not funny Renzo" I said to him "and do I need to remind you, you were the one saying it's not safe here" I said and touched Elio's forehead and now it felt a lot cooler and his eyes weren't so sparkly.

"Trouble in paradise already?" A voice said from behind and I turned with Elio to look who it was.

It was Esther's husband who seemed to be enjoying the whole show.

"What are you even doing here?" Renzo then asked Nicolas.

"Esther wanted to check in on Elio and Elodie but you two seemed pretty busy so we didn't want to bother you" he said with a little bit of sarcasm in his voice and laughed afterwards.

I only rolled my eyes and turned around, walking past Renzo and out of the living room.

"How are you feeling?" I asked Elio as I carried him over to the kitchen.

"Ghood" he said and kept pretending that his plane was flying in the air as I carried him.

"Where are your socks?" I asked him noticing as his feet were naked and he'd been running around with bare feet and a fever.

He shrug his shoulders to my question and I touched his little feet to check if they were cold or not.

"Hey" Esther said with a smile as I walked inside the kitchen. I walked over to the kitchen island and pulled out a chair for me and sat on it with Elio in my lap.

"Is everything okay?" She asked me noticing my frustration.

"Yeah, it's nothing" I said and pulled Elio's feet up on my lap so now I was holding them with my hands and heating them.

She didn't say anything just looked at me with a little bit of a worried face and then turned to the stove and I then I only noticed she was making some food.

"What are you making?" I asked her.

"Dinner" she replied as she stirred a pot on the stove.

"Esther, you didn't have to" I said and felt a little bad.

"But I wanted to" she said and then turned around to look at us again.

"And besides, you need to rest and look after your sick baby" she said and pointed the wooden spoon at Elio making him giggle.
