It's 2:00 p.m. and I'm waiting for Nate to arrive, I finally kicked lee out, I could see how he was holding back on asking me questions, but I just ignored them.
I suddenly hear a knock, I walk to the door and open the door for Nate,
"How are you" he asks as he comes for a hug, I flinch when he hugged me, I flinched because of a leg, I low key lost the balance for a second
"Are you okay" he asks
"Yeah, just cramps" he nods and comes in
"I like this place it's-" he hesitated to say it but then I spoke
"Not big, but that's what I like about it, it cozy" I explain
"Well if that's what you like, then so do I" he puts the bags on the table
"What re those" I ask him and peek in them a little
"They are yours" he takes out few things for the house and the kitchen, I noticed few Pharmacy bags
"Are you not feeling good" I ask him as I point my finger on the pharmacy bag
"I'm fine" he says and looks at me seriously, he doesn't say anything, just stares at me
Shit
I think he knows
But how
"Why didn't you tell me" he asks and looks at my leg, I sigh
"I didn't wanted to worry you" I explain "and you have shit ton of things to worry about, your business, mom, Alice and more"
"Yes but if I don't look out for you then I have literally failed to be a big brother to you" I know where this is coming from, when I was sold by my father Nate was still a kid so he couldn't do anything, somehow he blames it on himself
"You have done everything in your powers Nate, I'm fine really" I'm trying to assure him
"How long has it been" he asks about when I got my injury
"I don't remember, but I'm almost back to normal so" not almost but yeah.
"And who's taking care of you" he crossed his hands
I can't lie, you can't lie because he'll know, he has broken bones before, so if I tell him no one, he won't believe me, because no matter how strong you may be, you always need some kind of help in the beginning
"Old friend" I roll my eyes as I put the new glasses that Nate gifted me
"Are you paying her" her? Huh
"I'm not paying him" I say him quietly, I just don't like to lie to my big brother, it's eating me alive
"HIM" he looks at me and I just nod in response "Cordelia, you could have told me and I would provide you a nurse, who's a female" he's very overprotective as you may have guessed
"I'm fine, he's nice" he is, I can tell how much he's trying
"Nice my ass, show me your leg" he says and walks towards the couch
I roll my eyes and then pull down my pants, for some people it may seem weird pulling pants in front of your brother but there were times when we only had each other to take care of, no other could put stiches because we didn't trusted them
So there's nothing weird about it.
"Well it's for sure is better" he says "but I need to see that guy" he demands and I look up to the selling
"Fine" I sigh and few seconds later so does he "what's wrong" I look over at him
"Just worried about you" he confessed
