Amore Mia

Chapter 47

Nathan walked into the room, seeing Amore asleep. Carolyne looked up from her phone seeing Nathan enter.

"Is she sleeping?" Nathan asked Carolyne in a whisper tone.

"Yeah... I am also going to head home. I'll see you tomorrow," Carolyne said then got up from her seat,

"Okay, see you then. Thank you for watching over her while I was out." Nathan said while looking at Amore,

"You don't have to thank me, Nathan. Amore is family. I will do anything for her, see you tomorrow ... bye," Caroline said then walked out of the room.

Nathan sat down on the chair next to Amore's bed. Finally, they were alone... he leaned forward and then closed his eyes as he ran his hands through his hair.

"Hey... there...?"

Nathan heard that beautiful voice he loves. Nathan opened his eyes and stared into Amore's captivating blue eyes.

"Hey... beautiful. How are you feeling?" Nathan asked while taking Amore's hand into his.

Amore pouted, "I missed you, please come lay next to me."

Nathan looked worriedly at Amore, "I missed you too... but I am scared of hurting you. I will hold your hand the whole time, I promise. I will not leave again."

"But... But, I really want you to lay next to me... I almost died. I want to feel your arms around me, Nathan, please!"

"That's not fair Amore, you can't play the dying game. Do you know how scared I was... I thought..." Nathan suddenly thought back and got a lump in his throat. Nathan looked away in thought..."

"Hey... hey... I'm here... I'm alive... I'm sorry... that was uncalled for..." Amore said as she looked concerned at Nathan while she squeezed his hand. "You look so tired. It looks like you haven't slept in a while."

There was a knock on the door. Nathan looked toward the door. A young woman stood at the door with a trolley stacked with plates of food.

"I brought Madam's food." The woman said.

"Thank you, you can bring it in."

The woman walked in and placed Amore's food on the table and then left.

"You want me to feed you?" Nathan asked

Amore nodded. "Yes, please."

Nathan took the table and placed it over Amore's bed, he picked up the fork and slowly started to feed her. After a while, Nathan tilted his head and stared at her intensely.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Amore asked while swallowing.

Nathan shook his head, "Do you want more?"

"No, thank you I am full."

"Okay..." Nathan took the table and pushed it against the wall. He slowly sat on the bed next to her.

"I will lay next to you, but you must promise to tell me if you are uncomfortable or feeling hurt. Okay?"

Amore nodded "Okay..." She beamed up at him, then slowly lifted herself and made space for him.

Nathan climbed in next to her letting her rest in his arms. Amore's head was resting on Nathan's chest, she closed her eyes and listened to the beating of his heart lulling her to sleep.

A ringing sound awoke Nathan. Amore was sleeping soundly in his arms. He reached toward the bedside table and in a whisper tone, he answered his phone.

"Hello?"
