Healed By Her ❤️

Chapter 13

My eyes flicker open when I felt movement on my chest, the darkness in the room made it hard to adjust as I blink a few times but once they readjusted I look down at my chest to find nandini

She was stirring on my chest, her hands still fisting my t shirt as if I'd run away or something, for the first time in my life I was feeling a lot to the point where I was overwhelmed and didn't know how to feel

"Elfie why you so hard today?" She whispers softly rubbing her nose against my t shirt

i don't say anything, instead I just wait for her to realize where exactly she was and I underestimated that because she just curled in my chest more

"Elfie I am scared" she whispers again in her deep sleepy voice

"Why are you scared?" I ask

"Ahhhh" she screams jumping back almost falling off the bed

I grab her arm preventing her from falling, her eyes reach mine and instantly her face falls

"What are you doing here? And where is my elfie?" She asks

"First of all this isn't your bedroom, it's mine and second of all, your stupid teddy bear is probably on the streets somewhere"

She gasps dramatically, her palm against her lips and the other hand on her chest

"My elfie" she whispers as tears build up in her eyes

"Will you relax it's just a teddy bear"

"It is not you bad monster, my poor elfie" she whimpers

"He is on the couch in the cabin now relax"

she looks at me for a second and then her little brain registers that I am being honest she glares at me, I am not sure why she thinks it would scare me, it's sort of comedic

"You made me think my elfie was gone, how cruel can you be huh? I know you don't like me and I know you hate me but that doesn't mean I am desperate to get your attention. I do everything for you, I get you food, i get you your stupid 100 C coffee which by the way tastes disgusting, I make sure you have your forms, you papers before you need them, I make sure to have everything you need before you ask or think of it but I guess that's just my job right?"

"Nandini"

"No, I try, I try to make you happy so maybe you can smile at least once a day and not look like a coconut but no, nothing helps. It's almost like you don't appreciate these little gestures which is fine but don't ever call me desperate. I am not desperate, you know what fire me if you want, I will give you my resignation, I am done. It is so sad to think that I won't ever be good enough for this job even when I try my hardest. I am trying I promise you I am trying as hard as I can but this isn't good enough then so be it"

"Relax nandini"

"No you relax, I was she scared in that car for 5 hours, I was trying not to freak out and I was trying not to cry. I wanted to come back home with you but you said you hate having me around and I'm not blaming you but I am blaming you. See now I sound psychotic and crazy but fuck that" she rambles on

i won't lie, there was a fear, or a similar feeling to fear when she said she wants to leave

"It is decided I am going to leave this job and you will write me an amazing colourful reference so I can get another job"

"Who the fuck said yes to this obnoxious idea of yours?" I ask

"I did and I think it is the best idea because you will never think I am good enough"

"Nandini"

"No no I know so lets just end your misery and let me go Manik, I am done with this job and it's not that I don't love this job, I do but it"
