Never let go

23 : Off Duty

~ Rosella ~

I'm on my way to see Lucas as he's on bed rest. After we were discharged from the hospital I took rest for a day and now I am here in front of his house.

When I rang the door bell Daisy opened the door. "Hi Daisy. " I smiled.

" Please come in. " She welcomed me in the house.  "I thought you were on leave."

"I was but I decided to come. " I walked towards the stairs. "Is Mr. Jones upstairs?" I asked.

"Yes he's in his bedroom. " I gave her a nod and went up the stairs to his room and knocked on his bedroom door.

"Come in. " Came a voice that I recognise very much as my bosses voice. It almost felt like a long time since I've heard his voice.

I opened the door and entered the room to find Lucas sitting in his bed shirtless with his laptop and a few files scattered around him. I bet this man never fails to make me blush.

His left arm was in a cast but just as I knew that he won't be resting and doing work instead.

Lucas looked up from the screen and he looked a little surprised.

"Rose?. " He looked confused.
"I suppose I gave you a weeks leave. Then what brings you here? " I walked near his bed and picked up one of the files that was laying there as I was unable to look at him when his perfect toned torso was staring right at my face as all those muscles wer making me feel weird emotions.

"I came to help you. " I said not looking at him but in the file instead.

" You need to rest and I am fine by myself I don't need help. " He reasoned out.

" I've had enough rest and I am supposed to be your caretaker so stop complaining." I still did not look at him.

Suddenly I was pulled by my wrist and I landed on his hard chest.  Lucas caught me in place, his hand still holding my wrist. Our faces wer just inches apart and both our eyes wer starring into each other. " Next time look here when I talk to you. " He said in a low but deep voice that made my heart skip a beat.

" Sorry. " Is all I could say because of the sudden closeness.

" So now when you have decided to play assistant then let's work. " He whispered in my ear and that made the hair on my skin stand.

He let go of my hand and I stood up straight.
I took the necessary documents required and sat on the couch that was in his room and started my work.

A few minutes later Lucas got off bed and picked up one of his t-shirts from his wardrobe and started wearing it. He tried to wear his tshirt carefully but that cast on his hand was restricting, so I stood up and caught his hand and tshirt and helped him wear it.

I stood on my tip toes as he is so much taller then me but still it didn't help much so I pulled him toward the couch. I stood on the couch and then I was successfully able to make him wear that tshirt.

After that he joined me to work and sat on the couch beside me.

I thought that I'll have to help him do tasks as he can't use his other hand but this man proved me wrong. He even has a good typing speed with one hand.

We caught up with the work that piled up while we were in hospital and now it was almost time for lunch.

I shut my laptop and stood up from the couch.  "I'll go prepare lunch now. " I was about to walk away but he stopped me.

"You don't have to, I've already let you assist me and now I'm not gonna have you make lunch." He pulled my hand making me sit beside him.  "Just sit here. "
