Love Without Cause

Ch. 6

Let me Help
Regina's P.O.V

" I can take care of her," Robin wanted to take care of me. I could feel my cheeks flushing with heat and color as those words, his words played on repeat in my head. The car ride home was silently peaceful, slowly growing awkward. We would exchange looks and not say a word.

We got to our apartment building faster than I would've expected. This was going to be a hard month with a broken leg and arm. Robin had to get the wheel chair from the back of the car. After that he brought it over to me. He was about to pick me up when I gave him one of my 'what are you doing' looks. Robin stepped back and waited to see what I was going to say.

"I can do it. " I said as I struggle to remove the seat belt. Robin chuckled at me, my cheeks flushed with heat and I winced at Robin.

" Do you need help? " Robin asked between laughs. I stare at him with a look of desperation on my face. He finally decided to help me after a good 5 minutes teasing me. He picked me up in his arms and carefully sat me down.

It was completely irritating not being able to do things for myself. I feel so helpless, vulnerable. This is exasperating.

Robin took me to my apartment and he came in. We talked for an hour or so, it wasn't about the kiss. That was what I really wanted to talk about. What were we now? Friends? More than friends? Robin had left, and I was now casually messing with my wheel chair. When I hear a knock. I tried to wheel towards the door, I don't have enough strength in my left arm to move me and the wheel chair. Instead of going to open the door I yell 'It's open.'

"Hey Regina?" A deep accented voice echoes, its Robin. My heart skipped a beat, why'd he come back?

"Robin what are you doing here?" I said in the most calm voice I could make, trying not to show any signs of excitement.

" I was wondering if you would like to stay at my place?.." Robin paused. I tilted my head to show that I wasn't understanding. "I-i mean so I can actually take care of you... By the way you didn't ask who was at the door before you said come in. What if it was a thief. You know how dangerous that is. What do you say?"

Robin was right, but technically it was a thief. Robin, he's a thief . He stole my heart.. I laughed at my thoughts because they were so corny, but true.
"Oh- ohkay. Just let me get some of my stuff, okay?" I stuttered.

" do you need any help? " Robin said noticing I was having trouble moving this stupid chair. I look in his direction and nod my head yes.

I packed a bag of clothing and the essentials. If anything I need to be comfortable if I was going to be stuck in this chair for a month. I packed yoga pants, leggings & comfortable shirts.

It was about ten 'till 9:00 when we got to his pent house.
Robin has about 2 guests rooms, considering he lives in this giant pent house by himself. He let me stay in the one nearest to his room, not that I asked for it. I set my stuff down and we went to the living room.

"shit.." I murmured on accident.
Robin looked at me & chuckled. Why does he always laugh when I mess up? I love seeing him laugh, wait what. Ok, no Regina. Don't do something you'll regret, he's your best FRIEND.

" what's wrong?," Robin asked with his adorable smile on his face. My eyes widen as I didn't really want to tell him, because then he'll say I'm so forgetful and tease me.

" oh I- wait, nothing, " I say as I draw my attention to the remote and tried to reach it.

Robin knew I was hiding something, right before I almost grabbed the remote he took it and turned the tv off. He moved closer to me. My heart practically dropped to my stomach.
